The several states have enacted legislation de signating Mothers' Day in their res pective commonwealths, but May 10 is Mothers' Day throughout the land, the day having been designat ed by an act of congress. The means of expression for this oc casion has taken the form of flowers, and everyone should wear a flower of some kind on May 10, for eyery jbody has a mother or has had 'one. In honor of ithe mothers living a bright flower is worn and a white flower is worn in memory of the mothers who have departed. Seven years ago, while Miss Anna Jarvis was commemorating the death of her own mother on the second Sunday in May, it occurred to her that the day, falling as it does in a season of blue sky and blossoms, might well be set asid as an annual festival upon which due tribute of affection and remembrance should be rendered to all mothers, Though naturally a modest and retiring little persoa, Miss Jarvis pleaded her cause so elo quently with leading clergymen, fin anciers and public officials, that on May 10, 1914, Mathers' day was es tablished, not only in Philadelphia, her home city ibut also in many other places thruout the Uninon. Special commemo)mtive services were held, in the Philadelphia cihurohes, and Miss Jarvis personally arranged for the conveyance of the old and infirm to their houses of worship. Besides devoting much time to correspondence, Miss Jarvis has made several trips aibroad spreading the cult of Mothers' Day in Europe. Feeling that there are few men or women, however unfor tunate or degraded, that do not cherish memories of a mother's love, Miss Jarvis firmly believes that in such hallowed memories lies a po tent force for consolation and regen eration.-. Accordingly she has visited many prisons, hospitals, asylums, and other institutions, distributing her symbolic white carnations among the inmates, endeavoring by simple, kindly talk to reawaken the tender est of recollections. Miss Jarvis has lan interesting collection of let ters from kings, statesmen and not ed writers, ail expressing warm sym pathy with her work in instituting a festival dear to all humanity. The local florist has made arrange ments to carry an unusually large supply of carnations for next Sunday. stwo, "Slopped Over" endeavor to spread In an endeavo to spread the "Harmony" dope too thickly, and at tempting to lead the voters to be lieve that he was -the man agreed upon by the people of Bemidji^ to make the run for State Senator, A. Wilson and a few supporters have discovered how mistaken tihey were in sizing up the situation. We ask, what man could have been named yw'io would miss the "Harmony Idea" uby a wider margin. It is clearly ap i-p-areat that he is not the man on rwhom all factions agree. ?V In his issue this week Editor Wilson jattempts to credit the Pioneer with extending its efforts to send the sen atorship elsewhere. It is hardly necessary for us to make a denial. Surely we're not to blame when the .majority of our citizens refuse to stand for the singling out of one candidate toy a few. Efforts were made, to effect a get together meet ing. Attorney A. A. Andrews, the only- other announced candidate at the time urged it. Then, if such a meeting selected eitfher one of the Or a third party, the city would have stood behind him. It appears that Mr. Wilson's cam paign manager was too wise to leave this matter to a1 fN-T-V$8 public gathering, but insisted that the people agree on him?s- A forced agreement generally fails. It failed in this case. The result is that we now have five men out for the job. In order to vote for a Bemidji man, our citizens now have that priveledge without being compelled to support one whom they preferred not to support. No, we do not claim any credit for bringing oujt an alleged harmony candidate, which seems to he the chief reason for lessening Bemidjf's chances of landing the senatorship.
