GET READY FOR ELECTION ; The time for selecting candidates for the various county offices is not long off and it is time that both parties begin cast-ing about to see how they will make up the slate. We are not greatly interested in how the slate is made up provided Bingham is given substantial recognition in th way of candidates and that ,n are named as armor bearers. . ' ' It is an undisputed fact that heretofore this community has not been given proper recognition in the matter of county officers. Bingham pays the taxes, but other sections .of the county provide the candidates of both parties for the county offices. There is no getting around the fact that a section of so great importance as Bingham should be represented in the administration , of the county affairs. . It must be remembered that Bingham pays the bulk of the county taxes outside of Salt Lake City and it is nothing but fair that this community should be allowed to have some say in gov-erning the county. There are those here who think that Bingham should have the sheriff and one county commissioner, and we think that this demand is very modest. Still this matter depends to a great extent on what Bingham people themselves do about the matter. If they want representation they must not only ask for it but must get busy and go after it. It should be made known that the political party which is to get the vote of this commun-ity must have some local candidates on its ticket. But if Bingham . goes to sleep on the matter of course she will be overlooked. This district has a population of some 10,000 and is in a position to secure recognition. This paper is taking no part in partisan politics, but it is intensely interested in the good of Bingham and it believes that the best interest of the community can be secured by being repre-sented in the county administration by some of its good men. Peo-ple from one section of the county frequently misunderstand the urgent needs of some other section. There are men in this section well fitted to discharge the duties of any of the county offices and it is nothing but right that the town should bring them for-ward. How many county commissioners have been elected from this community? How long has it been since we had one? How many men from this section have filled any of the county offices? They are so few and far between that it would take a well informed old-tim- er to name more than three or four. A few days ago we in-quired of a man who has resided in this town for a long time relative to the number of men from here who had been elected to a county office, and he was only able to mention one county com-missioner and one legislator. This should not be the case. Bing-ham should at all times have one or more representatives in the official family of the county. So before the slate is made up the public-spirite-d citizens of this community should take steps to bring forward some of its ' best political timber. It can be done and it would be a great help to the community. . RED CROSS SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE ALMOST DOUBLED Fortv-seve- n million people, subscribed to the Red Cross fund during the last drive, and, according to the latest estimates, the total amount raised will reach $170,000,000, an oversubscription of $70,000,000. This is a remarkable showing, and it proves con- -. clusively that the work being done by this great mercy organiza- - tion is fully appreciated ; so much so in fact, that pocketbooks as V well as hearts have been touched. We think in terms of billions , nowadays, owing to the enormous expense attached to the war, but we must all agree that the $300,000,000 given to the Red Cross during the two campaigns is a very large sum, and that a precedent V has been set which will have the effect of moving all of us to still greater endeavor and bring a shower of blessings upon the heads ? of the people of the United States. The conquerors who have rav-- - aged the earth in past ages have been swollen with pride as they contemplated the wreck and ruin wrought, and they may have derived a sort of satisfaction in the exercise of autocratic power, ; but they could not have experienced the genuine pleasure that has rome to the subscribers-t- o the Red Cross fund. We pay taxes because the law compels us, and not infrequently we feel that we are being robbed. But the Red Cross contributions are free-wi- ll offerings of kind hearts, and we are elevated by the act of giving. The poor man or woman gets more out of it, on account of making the greater sacrifice, but all share alike in the glory of having made it possible for the American angels of mercy to continue their work for suffering humanity. ROOSEVELT AND HEARST ' Roosevelt has saidsome very harsh things in his denuncia-tion of William Randolph Hearst. In the early part of the war the Hearst papers were pro-Germ- an and they did not get right until a discriminating reading public had kicked them right. So Roosevelt, in his attacks on Hearst, has found a large and sympa-thetic audience. Now Hearst has turned on the man from Oyster Bay and has called him the Asquith of American politics, declaring the former president is out of power and he is greedily eager to get back into power. , Hearst, in a signed article, says : "Let me say in conclusion, that the attack upon the adminis-tration, and the incidental attack upon the Hearst publications, which are only seeking to secure justice for the administration, emanates from the reactionary influences of Wall street. The New York Tribune, which supports Mr. Roosevelt in his unpatriotic activities, is owned by the Mills and Reid estates, two of the great-est and most sinister of New York financial forces. The Metro--1 politan Magazine, which hires Mr. Roosevelt at a dollar a word, as professional vituperator of the president, is owned by the Whit-ney estate, which is administered by Harry Payne Whitney, : grandson of Henry B. Payne, the Standard Oil magnate, and son of William C. Whitney, the New York traction magnate." Lately Frank H. Simonds resigned as editor of the New York Tribune, one of the large dailies devoted to vilifying President Wilson and his administration, and the reason he gave was that the Tribune management repeatedly had worked faked cablegrams from the war zone into the paper for the purpose of belittling the administration. We talk of shooting German spies ! A newspaper that would deliberately proceed to discredit its own government during war times by manufacturing false news, in an effort to gain a political ; advantage, is stooping to lower things than a spy could be induced to accomplish, a3 a spy primarily is loyal to his own country.

GOODRICH RUB; Eii il ; Twelve years, with not a single fire loss to exceed 100, la the record of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio. Although this corpora-tion carries millions of dollars of fire Insurance, no claims have been asked In this period. This record is remark-able when one considers that the com-pany's proiperty includes over 60 fac-tory buildings with a total floor space of over 100 acres, and employs over 18,000 people. According to R. W. 'Parry, fire chief of the Goodrich com-pany, t'tua record is the result of "con-stant watchfulness." Twelv9 fire fighters guard the im-mense proper) ics of the company. These men have modern quarters lo-cated in the heart of the plant ami can reach the farthest point among the factory buildings, a distance of nearly 1500 feet, in a fraction over two minutes. These excellently drilled men are everlastingly on the lookout for fire hazards. They make dally in-spection tours of the plant and on these trips see that aisles and door-ways are not blocked. Theyalso in-spect the fire apparatus daily. The Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Company, one of the strictest fire in-surance organizations in the world, re-- ! ports that it is the cleanest and best protected faeiory in he state of Ohio. Chief Parry ,and his organization have the cooperation of every employe of the institution. Drills are conduct-ed in the different departments of the plant for instance, 225 girl employes of one bu'lding, scattered on five loors, have repeatedly let the building in the short space of one minute and twenty seconds during fi.e drills. According to Mr. Parry, 90 per cent of the small fire flashes that might terminate in large and costly confla-grations, are extinguished before the company department arrives. These flashes are put out by employes by the aid of chemicals. Seventy-fiv- e per cent of these small fires are without loss caused by water. In other words, only 25 per cent of them reach the heat demanded to open the automatic sprinkler heads. These heads con-tract and open at 155 degrees heat. Another damage prevention, accord-ing to Mr. Parry, is the use of soap-ston- e instead of sand. Rubber cement Is used in large quantities in many sections of the plant, a.id while soap-ston- e serves the same purpose a sand, it ha no injurious effects on rubber and rubber c?ment. The fire fighting apparatus of the Goodrich consists of one hose cart, 135 chemical tubes, 28,600 feet fire hose. 2000 fire pails, 543 fire extin-guishers ranging in size from three to capacities, two fire foam extinguishers, which are used only on oil fires, and 17,938 sprinkler heads. NUMBERS SLOWLY POISONING SYSTEMS Is Foundation of Most Diseases And Hi Hearth, Says Noted Authority Advanced medical authorities assert that n is the founda-tion of most of the ills and diseases to which the human flesh is heir. "This condition," says 1 T. Cooper, who has made an exhaustive study of the sub-ject, "is nothing more nor less than the slow g of the vital organs, produced by the excessive mental and physical strain we are forced to endure, which renders the organs lame and Inactive and permits toxins actual poisons to be gene-rated within one's own body. "In the process of digestion a num-ber of poisonous substances are pro-duced, which, although absorbed in the alimentary canal, are prevented by the liver from entering the circula-tion. As a result of overwork, fatigue products, sarcolastlc acid and pro-longed spasms may lead to n. Excess of uric acid in the blood is associated with high arterial pressure, headache, and nervous Irri-tability, and is an indication of imper-fect metabolism (malassimilation) and n is the result as shown by the fact that marked Im-provement occurs by suitable diet and treatment "Symptoms of auto intoxication may be associated with various nervous hpnnomena. Bile in the blood may be attended by stupor and menial de-pression and the term melancholia, .signifying black bile, indicates the importance which has long been at-tached to the liver as an organ, the derangement of which causes nervous depression. "Sometimes the trouble starts in the liver and kidneys, end sometimes it starts in the stomach, or elsewhere, but in any ca&e the blame lies with the faulty method of living, which has becom3 so prevalent of recent years, and it is the more important organs that suffer the final damage. As when they falter or fall In their duties the body fills up with poisons and the vie-tim-readily yields to their baneful in-fluences. Bright's disease, stomach and intestinal troubles, catarrhal af-fections of tha mucous membrance; in fact, may be called or "A tired dragging reeling of the oody," continued Mr. Cooper, "or slug-gish mind and dull memory, intense nervousness, headaches, stomach and bowel troubles, poor circulation, Im-perfect digestion, constipation and despondency, are common symptoms Gl autointoxication, and none oufof every ten people in the average city ire likely to be so affected." Tanlac, the powerful reconstructive tonic, was designed specially to over-come these troubles, and it is Mr. Cooper's theory that the Tanlac treat-ment is the direct remedy therefor. There Is not a single portion of the body that is not benftd by the healthful work of this CPlelirRted preparation, which begins its action by stimulating the digestive and assimilative organs, thereby enrich-ing the blood and invigorating the en-tire system. Next. It enables the stomach to thoroughly digest the food, thereby permitting the assimil-able products to be converted into blood, bone and muscle. It overcomes that great exciting cause of disease-weaknes- s. It renders the body vigor- ous and elastic and keeps the mind clear and energetic and throws off the symptoms of nervousness and indiges-tion. It builds up the constitution, weakened by disease and mental and physical overworkquickens convales-cence and is an unfailing source of comfort to those suffering from these troubles.

The Doctor Away from Home When Most Needed J fPeopIe are often very much disap-pointed . to find that their family physician Is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like pain in the ttomach and bowels, colic and diarrhoea require prompt treatment, and have in many Instances proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. The right way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's C'dic and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicine for theso diseases. By having it In the house you escape much pain and suffering and all risk. (Buy it now; it may save life. B Honest With Yourself. Do you reslly believe all that yon say, yourself? Stop a minute and look back, and think. Are you sure of all that you assert, and have you posi-tive conviction concerning all that you put forth? If you do not honestly hold to everything you say, how can you expect others to accept your words? If you do not actually believe what ! you say, then you are unlikely to act upon it, no matter how good It may be. We need to be very honest wltb j ourselves. GOVERNMENT WILL NOT RE3TRICT.THE MANUFACTURE OF AUTOMOBILE TIRES BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF RUBBER Asked regarding government re-strictions on the importation of rub-ber, and the, fndeavor of tire manu-facturers In with the gov-ernment to restrict the manufacture of unnecessary tire sixes, Mr. J. C. Weston, vice president and director of oales of the I'nitcd states Tire Com-pany, said,: "The Intention of the government in the control and restriction of the Im-portation of rubber Is to conserve shipping space, arid the program that lias been laid before the manufactur-ers of rubber goods lias won their unanimous support for the war trade board and the shipping board, "In addition, the manufacturers of tires are heartily with the government program for the eventual elimination of unnecesHary tire slzfs. This elimination will simplify the problem for prcIi user of the motor car of reducing Ms co' t and making it pos-sible for him to secure the tire size he needs, in good tires, more readily than tlu market and manufacturing condi-tions now permit. "Pliins for the withdrawal of cer-tain tire fiizei from use by manufac-turers of motor cars will not In any way Interfere with the manufacture and distribution of the tiros to users who need those particular slues nt any time." Mr. Weston was very insistent In lils Htateinent that there Is nothing In the present or probable future situa-tion to occasion the slightct appre-hension of a shortage- of tireH for legi-timate use. "However, there never wa-- t a time," j ho Ruid, "when users .of motor cars j could so well serve the nation as by making the most of their cars in legi-timate commercial and passenger serv-- : ice and refusing to hoard or unneces-- ! sarlly anticipate their needs in tires or other motor car supplies." Mr. Weston called attention to the fact that the government has rot at the present time Imposed any restric-tions on the UHe of motor cats by t he automobllists of the country, but has relied on the patriotism of the car owners to exercise a proper discretion in the use of their vehicles with a view to conserving their cars and tires, Mr, Weston Is of the opinion that the motorists of the country can he trust-ed to cut down mere pleasure riding to a minimum and to take every possi-ble step to save tires, oil and gaso-line Governors' Terms of Offic.
