MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1918. A Regular Mother. There is plenty of sentiment about little romance. Essayists and editors who write about motherhood with a capital and a tremulo tone grandly call it a "profession." Actual mothers know it is a job. There are picture in black negliges and bending tenderly above piefc babies in silk-lined baskets.

Or poem mothers with silver hair gracefully disposed under caps, sitting, Testament in hand, by cheerful firesides or va-ndows flooded with sunset. Or popular song mothers whose whole business is to be "waiting day by day" for some ungrateful son who is invariably repentant and invariably "far away." But what is a "regular" mother? A regular mother is the capable lady who sends son John off to tlie army, and Mary off to her typewriter, and father down to the and little Bill away to sixth grade, generally makes the go round and stay in its tracks. A regular mother hasn't any time to "look the part." No silk or white caps, or waiting-day-by-day for her! Cenerally the regular mother's hair isn't silver white all. It's "hat pepper-and-salt mixture of brown and white that signifies trength, common "the best wearing qualities." Nor is it and usually a little rumpled by the rush to "get the off to work" or "get dinner on the table." Nor are the regular mother's eyes "dim with tears" or "soft with Please tell us what a regular mother's eyes would do tears and memories when she's got to see everything from the Iole in Bill's stocking to that new blush Mary wears when Jim calls to make a date! And when it comes to dress there's mighty little silk and lace about a regular mother. She's satisfied with a clean white shirtwaist with its crocheted on the collar (to save the cost of lace), with a fresh apron over her "durable" serge skirt, and for jewels, only her scratched wedding rinf.

and the little old gold brooch grandma gave her. But she always looks regular mother! So if the sentimental "Mother" of the cheap picture and the poem the popular song brings the quick tears to our homesick only because we have had a regular know her as a thousand times more wonderful than these! Reforming Landlords. New York landlords, who have shown an almost Hunnish dislike of babies, forbidding them the shelter of apartment-house roofs, are about to be reformed. In future the landlord may be required to show as much enthusiasm over the little dears as if he were a political Any public display of aversion to tendency 10 deny children bed and board in the most exclusive apartments may cost him $500 or five days in jail. Alderman Clarence Palitz of the New York City council has presented a resolution which, if adopted, would have the law on every apartment house owner who bars tenants because the family includes children.

But the well merited public scorn which has been visited upon landlords must be extended to the real source of the "no-children" rul? for apartment "exclusive" tenants who prefer large incomes to large families. Personally, the average landlord has no particular objection to may even indulge in a few of his own, wisely established in a suburban residence. But he gets his living by renting his apartment if he wishes it to be tenanted by persons who can high rent with pleasing regularity he must cater to the taste of Mich tenants. Exclusive tenants are dead set against children. They won't be bothered with them themselves and certainly they will not ndure the presence of the neighbor's children.

The child-hating landlord is but the agent of the "exclusive" tenant. When babies become fashionable it may be discovered that landlords arc as human as anybody!

Copyright, Dave Lawrence told ua not so many daya ago that the defeat of suffrage by the Senate would result in an overturning of that body and ita capture by the Republicana. And Dave told ua, a few days after that, that quite likely thia would not take place, in view of the fact the women of the suffrage parties had decided not to make a stringent fight againat Democratic candidates in the western part of the nation. The truth la, the women never contemplated a fight againat Democratic senatorial candidates in the West. They had no occasion to do so, for the Western senatorial candidates were for suffrage right along, and to punish them for voting for It would obviously have been an act of injustice on the part of the women. But had this not been the case the Senate would nut have been changed in leadership by this suffrage matter.

For there are so many other issues, most of them considered more important than suffrage, that people of the West and the, rest of the country, for that matter, would not think of making suffrage the test. Dave was only chagrined because ot the failure of his prediction as to the passage of suffrage to be borne out by events, and so he took thia occasion to scold the members of the dominant party at the Capitol, and at the same time try to scare the "everlasting daylights" out of them for not making his story come true. Any political observer of venta this year could not atretch hia imagination far enough to aee the defeat of a Democratic Senate merely because that Senate refused to pass suffrage. In fact, if the unbelievable defeat of the Senate should be brought Is virtually would bo for reasons vastly different than that. And Dave will say so, upon mature reflection, we are aure.

Republican newspapers are making much ado over BUI Jamison's solicitation of funds for running the present year's campaign. The Republicans act as If they never solicited a postmaster to hear them speak of the matter. The truth la the system had ita Inception in Republican politics, though so far as we have been able to find no "political adjournment" was fver provided or even thought of by he leaders of that party. We hear that while the Democrats have a pretty good campaign fund the Republicans are not poor, by any means. Frequently Congressional candidates are coming here making appeals for financial aid in their districts and frequently they are reported to have gone home with smiles on their faces and, presumably, in their garments." Tn the old Bay State they say the Senatorial fight is very much worth while.

The Democratic candidate, former Governor Walsh, Is a mixer of real proportions, and the fact that he once was elected to the Gubernatorial chair makes his friends believe he can be elected again in a State-wide contest. Senator Weeks has enemies among the business Interests Who wish to punish him for derelictions of comparatively late occurrence. And to complicate matters Victor Lawson. a relative of McCall. whom Weeks kept out of the Republican race, is making the race as an independent and threatens to take some of the original McCall support away from Weeks.

Tf this can be done it may weaken Weeks enough so that Walsh will win. If a gain of a Senator should be made in the old Bay State In this manner it surely would be a blow to the interests of Henry Cabot Lodge. And it would end here and now the ambitions of Senator Weeks hlmaell to become the Republican party's Presidential nominee two years from now. Tt is reported at the Capitol that Theodore Roosevelt will, while in Montana this fall, make an assault on the record of Senator Walsh. The colonel will make a speech full of pepper.

It is said, and will do all he can to bring about the downfall of the Montana Senator. The colonel take some of his time to exploin why Jeannette Rankin after defeat In the Republican primaries, refused to accept the verdict of the voters and Insisted upon running as a separate candidate. He might also comment briefly upon her record in the House and at least make the explanation that while she has had House membership she has been catalogued on the side of the party to which he belongs. If the colonel will do all these things he will impress the people of Mon tona with his fairness and will possibly bring about a result In the election which will more nearly express the sentiments of the folks than as If he tried to distort things. In other words, Teddy batter look a little out or he may find that his tour in Montana will have helped Senator Walsh.

Passage of a corrupt practices act by the House, following its passage some time ago by the Senate, recalls to our minds that no such act can be effective until administrators of honesty and intelligence are put on the job of keeping our pools clean. Not so many years ago the people of a well-known Western city found their elections as black as black could be. The underworld and the of one party were in control of things and something like 10.003 votes' of a Taise nature were eaat at each election. The people, led by a courageous newspaper, took matters in their hands, got an adequate act passed by the legislature and then at the suggestion of the editor of the newspaper In question obtained the governor's selection of a splendid man for the position of election commissioner. Now the elections of that city and county are clean.

The people go to the polls and express themselves and go away again knowing that the votes will be counted as they were cast and that results actually portray the majority sentiment of the people. Any city in the land can have such a Philadelphia. That Is, any city can have auch a system where the majority of the people want honest we believe the majority of Philadelphlans want such a system.

Staffed by doctors and nurses from Denver, the hospital now about 1,000 wounded American soldiers, nnd ions arc under wav for extensions to accommodate 2,500. In the neighborhood Is a laree German Internment camp, idently there for the express purpose of assisting the Boche to send some of his own kind to Kingdom Come in the event his aviators come over for the Kultured purpose of bombing the American Hospital.

"He lambasted and kicked his way through the three Germans nnd scampered across No Man's Land with them shooting at him. By pure luck reached our lines unscathed."

A young New York City law student, Sergt. Berg, in the nervous, pathetic, stammering speech of the shell-shock victim, told of letter he had just received from his brother in New York. "We are all so proud of to think you. a hero, belong to We read in the papers of your exploit on the Somme front, wadin? through machine gun Are and singl? handed capturing fifteen prisoners. Mother was so happy and proud ahe cried.

And dad and all the rest of us have been sticking out our chests and getting patted on the backs by all our friends and neighbors." Berg smiled happily as he read the letter, but added modestly, "Pshaw, it was nothing." I learned also that it was Now York City troops who with their gallant British allies last August stormed and recaptured Mount Kenjmel and held it against all counterattacks. The hill was honeycombed with machine gun nests and previous attempts to recapture it had met with severe casualties. New Yorkers Monat Kemmel. Together the Tommies and New Yorkers valiantly waded through the stream of lead, bayonettlng German gunners. There were some allied casualties, few at that, but the Tommies and Sammies fought on.

Finally he fell wounded fortyyards from a German machine gun which had been spraying lead into the advancing Americans.

Though excruciating pain. Greeder used his rifle and ricked off three foes working the gun. He killed the trio. He had attended a medical school In Cin- i paid, and ust-d hi? knowledge In bandaging bis wounds. British general commended him in laudatory tones and personally helped him off battlefield to a dressing station.

Incidentally the name Greeder smacks of German ancestry. PACKERS SEND REPLY TO PRICE PROPOSAL The reply of the packers to th?" corn price basis of stabilizing hog prices has been sent to the Food Administration, it v. as last night, subscribed to by forty secondary packing firms, in addition to five large corporations. The reply agrees to co-operate in maintaining the a hundredweight for average droves in the heavy packing season, but disagrees with the corn price basis and makes other suggestions. The idea of stabilizing the price of live hogs at Chicago by giving to the swine Users a price thirteen 'times the price of bushel oi corn is not workable, according to the packers, as it might fix high at the beginning of the packing season and low prices, with a i descending corn market, at the end of the season, whereas the oidmary cousse of the hog market is the reverse.
