Show THE PRESS-BULLETI-EDITORIALS - --M (By C. D. McNeeley) -- The water talk in Bingham is becoming more impressive " ' ' every day. v There is a new disease or affection or a something in Bingham now which they call "bootlegger's itch." And they say it's bad. One hears quite a little these days in Bingham of the "Purity Squad," whatever that is. , Bingham can now boast of, four deputy sheriffs, but whether it can find ways and means of keeping them busy is yet to be seen. It now looks as if some steps might be taken to provide water ; for the town that even the state chemists could not find anything wrong with. I i.

Mrs. Clore received a letter from her brother a few days ago. Inclosed with the letter is a short poem which is popular among the boys who were on the border. The poem follows: I am sitting here of the things I left behind, And I hate to put on paper what is running through my mind, We've dug a million trenches and cleared ten miles of ground, And a mean place this side of Hell I know is still unfound; But there's one great consllation, gather closely while I tell When we die we'll go to Heaven, for we've done our hitch In helL We've built a hundred kitchens for the cooks to stew our beans, We stood a hundred Guard Mounts, and cleared the camp latrines, We've washed a million moss kits and peeled a million spuds, We've made a million blanket rolls, and washed a million duds. The number of parades we've made would be very hard to tell, But we'll parade in Heaven, for we've done our hitch in Hell. "f M (i ; We've killed a million rattlesnakes that tried to take our cots, We've shaken scores of centepedes from out our army socks, We've marched a hundred thousand miles and made a thousand camp3, And pulled a million cactus thorns from out our army pants; But when our work on earth is done our friends behind will tell, When they died they went to Heaven, they had done their hitch in Hell. When the final Taps is sounded and we lay asids life's cares, And we do the last parading up the shining golden staiis, And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play. And draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day, It is then we'll hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell. Take a front seat, (Nineteenth Infan-try, you've done your hitch In Hell. From Caldwell Tribune. What the state chemist says about our Carr Fork water almost makes one hate to drink the stuff. Mixed with whiskey it's not so bad, but that's a luxury for the select only. It is said that some enthusiastic local prohibitionists are planning to petition Salt Lake liquor dealers to discontinue selling their goods to Binghamites. COOPER TO PRIiVE FIOUSJEOIS HI Remarkable Medicine Accomplish-ing Wonderful Results In Lead-ing Cities. Referring to the visit to Denver of Mr. L, T, Cooper, the million-aire philanthropist and lecturer, who has commanded such wide-sprea- d In-terest in the East with , his health theories and celebrated medicine, Tan-lac- , El. El Harris, his representative, said: "Thousands of the most prominent people In Cincinnati, Cleveland, Den-ver, gait lAke City, Detroit, (Louis- - ville, Dallas, Atlanta and Mem-phis, and other cities where his celebrated medicine has been accom-plishing such remarkable results, are even more enthusiastic over Tanlac than Mr. Cooper himself. "As previously stated, Mr. Cooper contends that nine-tenth- s of the dis-eases and of the average per-son Is due to a catarrhal condition, which produces faulty digestion and improper assimilation of the food. "In a recent Interview, Mr. Cooper was asked if Tanlac would relieve Kidney trouble, liver complaint, rheu-matism and a dozen other ailments, and in this connection, said: " As I have repeatedly said, my medicine acts directly on the mucous membrane, stomach and blood, expell fng from them the impurities and toxic poisons, and rendering to them a strong, healthy condition. I am con-vinced that the stomach regulates the condition of the blood, and is the foun-tain head of health or disease, as the case may be. My medicine is intended primarily for the regulation of the Ftomach and catarrhal inflanmtion, but it is no uncommon thing for persons who have used it to come to me and explain that it has relieved them of rheumatism and many other ailments, not generally recognized as having their origin in stomach trouble.' "The ingredients or medicinal ele-ments which make Tanlac, come from many remote sections of the earth the Alps, the Pyrenees, Russian Asia, West Indies, mountain states near the Rocky Mountains, Mexico and Peru ere among the points from which the prin-cipal parts of the preparation are ob-tained. In the principal laboratory of the Cooper Medicine Co., Inc., under the efficient direction of Herr Jos. von Trimbach, a chemist of note, these medicinal herbs, roots and barks are assembled In the rough and painstak-ingly developed so as to attain that high standard of efficiency shown by uniform preparation Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Bingham Canyon by :W1 H. Woodring, in Magna by R. B. Douglas Drug Co. and in iMidvale by J. M. (Watson. The residents of the town hall are inclined to joke on rather serious matters. They are now telling the two old deputies that the two new deputies were appointed to watch them. The attention of the Bingham high school girls is called to t . the fact that the 'rubber" industry is flourishing at other places than South America. When it comes to planning for a grand event the local organ-ization of railroad trainmen knows how to put on the finishing touches. The members are now getting ready for February 12, the seventh annual ball. There is now some hope that the threatened and greatly fear- -' ed coal famine may not materialize. However, the organizations which have worked so valiantly in the matter should not fall asleep on the subject. If the present standard is maintained there need be no great suffering, but should there be a slight fall-ing off in the receipt of shipments it would become serious at once. Present weather conditions indicate that the ice harvest this , winter should be a bumper. And they say that home raised ice ' is going to be all the rage next summer. There are a great many people who think it's a duty of a newspaper to roast people right and left, but always the other) fellow. There are those who tell you that So and So ought to be shown up in his true light, just to let the public know what sort , of man he really is, but the party who tells you this never fails to make the request that "if you write any of what I told you don't mention my name." He wants the other fellow roasted, but he is always afraid to assume the responsibility. The editor ought to fight anybody's battle whether he has any interest in the matter or not. U. S. ARMY HAS OVER ONE AND A HALF MILLION MEN UNDER ARMS There were 1,428,050 enlisted men and 110,S05 officers in the United States army at the opening of 1018. more than one find a half times as large as nny force ever before mo-bilized by this nntlon. according to a statement by Secretary of War Baker, - During the wnr with Snnln the nrmy of the United States nt Its maximum strength ncsrpgated 272,00(1 men and officers. The army In the field and in trnlnlng now Is practically six times as great as the rmxiinum number un-der arms ! i v Hpnnlsh-Amerien- n war. About .,. ,.v officers were commis-sioned from rlrti life In the two series of trnl',its carnjjB, nearly eipht tlmps as ninny as the number of officers In the regulnr army April 1, 1917. The addition of another wheatless day and an extra wheatless and meatless meal will mean a still greater saving in those commo--' ... dities and will not cause any people in this' community to g hungry. There are so many substitutes for both meat and wheat that most any fellow can find what he wants on the bill of fare at the cafe on those days unless he is a chronic grumbler. And the chronic grumbler never gets what he wants on any day. MANAGER B. H. BULLOCK RE-PORTS SYNDICATE MINE IN LEAD SPAR Manager B. H. Tiullock, of the Syn-dicate, returned 'Thursday evening from an inspection of the property. He reports that the north wall of the large east and west break h.is been cut, and that the lime and lead Biar encountered give the beat possible in-dications for the making of ore. Two shifts are working regularly and the future will b-- j watched very closely, as an ore body in that sec-tion will create great interest in the Santaquln district, and will without doubt result in the opening of a new mining district of Importance. W. W. Armstrong, federal food administrator for Utah, is pow calling upon the people of Utah to harvest ice for the coming summer, as he says it will be almost impossible to secure ice next summer from refrigeration owing to the fact that great demands are now being made for amonia for army purposes and very little of that chemical will be available for the manufacture of ice. Mr. Armstrong is doing a great work for the people of the state and nation. He is overlooking nothing in the matter of conservation and the suggestions he gives out are valuable and practical. it is, in our humble judgment, a very small measure, and of itself harmless. The querulous, carping 'T told you so" criticisms of Colonel Roosevelt and his kind react on those that utter them. It is his indulgence in such criticism that is responsible for Colonel Roose-velt's amazing loss of prestige and influence within the last few j months. He has weakened himself much, but the president, the government, not al all. And for the most part Republican leaders, Republican news-paper- the rank and file of Republicans, are standing loyally by the government and doing their utmost to strengthen it for the winning of the war, as all sane and patriotic men must do. As for reasonable and constructive criticism it is to be wel-comed. President Wilson himself has invited it. It would be a national calamity, indeed, if the voice of such criticism could be hushed. Not once but several times in Britain and France alike by the necessary reforms it has forced has such criticism saved the day for the cause of the United States and its associates in the war. An intelligent public is not so easily fooled. The ordinary man can detect more easily than Senator Stone might think the difference between partisan clap-tra- p and fearless, well-consider- ed criticism that has in iew a definite patriotic purpose. Neither the government nor the Democratic party is to be hurt by criticism that is malicious and without foundation. And neither will be hurt by honest and sensible criticism upon refusal to heed and profit by it. The flames of the nethermost hell are not hot enough for the man who attempts to play politics with this war. And that goes two ways ; it applies to Democratic politicians equally with Repub-lican politicians. And there is no other way of playing politics with the war that is quite so despicable and quite so dangerous as to try to divide the country along the lines of party or race or creed ; to seek personal or factional or partisan advantage by im-puting disloyalty to men individually or in mass, or to do it merely because their contemner doesn't like them. The World-Heral- d, as a newspaper both Democratic and inde-pendent, is frank to say and proud to say that it can detect no essential difference between the two great parties so far as pa-- j triotism is concerned. It regards the Republican party, Republi-- 1 can leaders and Republican newspapers as on the whole equally! loyal with the Democratic party, Democratic leaders and Demo- -' cratic newspapers. There are individual differences, in kind and! in degree, but patriotism, we reverently thank God, bears no party label. And the lack of fundamental patriotism is sometimes noticeable in those that draw invidious comparisons and pharasiac-all- y proclaim their own loyalty as the purest. We will never win this war as an angrily and hatefully divid-ed people. It is as a united peopleunited because tolerant, for-bearing and just with one another that we must win it. Speech-es like that of Senator Stone and others that doubtless will follow it speeches that tend to make good Americans lose sight of the face that our war is on Germany and not on one another, that tend to embitter and inflame us among ourselves such speeches had far better never be delivered. World-Heral- d. SENATOR STONE SHOULD NEVER HAVE SPOKEN. There are partisans and partisans. The spectacle of Senator William Joel Stone solemnly rebuking partisanship is one to make the traditional graven image laugh. And the country, just now, is no more in a mood for laughing lightly than is a man with a cracked lip. There is perhaps a measure of truth in what Senator Stone said recently about Republicans playing politics with the war. But v.--- " The charge that Roosevelt is not patriotic is without founda- - tion. No one believes that he is even on good terms with anyone t who is pro-Germa- n, but he is showing his hand as a militarist. f While he hates Germany and is working to help win the war, still he wants this country to adopt the German military system after ' the war is over. He does not love Germany, but he is infatuated with her militarism and wants America to try it when peace is restored. General van Bernhardi, author of many books on mili-tary affairs, in his book, "Germany and the Next War," published in 1911, quoted liberally and with approval opinions of Roosevelt, on war. So in one respect Roosevelt is like the German leaders. He wants to fight. Had Germany not been so well prepared in 1314 there would have been no war. If we adopt Roosevelt's plans after the war we will then be placed in the same position Germany was before the war. It is consoling to remember how little pork has been lost by warm weather during December. Trotzky talks very much as If he foresee the necessity of finding an alibi at an early date. Switzerland again asserts she is neu-tral. She has to do this every now and then or the allies might forget it. Although the sun is slow in rising every morning, it Is always on time. If there's any blame In the matter of delay in producing machine guns, I'm it, says "Secretary Daker. It Is the correct attitude, Mr, Secretary. Full authority and full accountability! That Alabama actress who asked Sor a divorce on the grounds that her m'fif riage was a Joke, evidently is net a comedienne. Halifax Is asking not only the Do-minion of Canada to help her, but her cause appeals to the whole world. In the Salt Lake Popgun last Friday on the Bingham insert were three Salt Lake firms bidding for Bingham business. The Boston Store was offering $5 values for $1, the Mullet Kelly com-pany was offering a 25 to 50 per cent reduction on clothing, and Keith-O'Brie- n, with a full half page, was offering all kinds of bargains to women in left over stuff, such as would possibly not be suitable for the Salt Lake trade. Still the Popgun claims t be a local paper working for the good of Bingham. We have a faint recollection of reading from a high authority that no man could 6erve two masters. Can the Popgun serve Salt Lake and Bingham ? No, and it do n't even try. It serves Salt Lake and bleeds Bingham. A hotel of 300 rooms in Omaha has been closed by order of court for one year as a punishment for selling liquor. Also its furniture and fixtures were confiscated and sold for the benefit of the poor and a fine of $"00 was levied against the house. We think the court erred in closing down the hotel. That means that very valuable property may lie idle for one year in the heart of a great city. It is wasteful to say the least. The judge might have fined the proprietor a sum equal to the rental of the house for a year or he might have sent the proprietor to jail and in that case the punishment would have fallen only on the shoulders of the violator. An appeal has been taken and the supreme court will doubtless overrule the decision of the district court. |
