Ut. anarxv Act ot C-r- FoodlFTlhioiiiglhiiL tThe men killed, the fate of the women and children known but to God, the town burned to ashes and struck from the map, yet the city of Lidice lives on to immortality. One Am-erican town has taken its name and dropped its ovn. So) truth and decency march on while the vile infamy seethes as miasma in the bowels of hell. There positively should be no excuse for liviDg today except to fight in one way or anoth-er to make the world free. Mothers of young men in the service are spscially insistent that something be done about the liquor problem. Can you blame them? The government has exercised its power to call their boys into service'and those mothers are looking to see that their sons are afforded every reasonable protection from evils which lurks in the shadows to ensnare the young men in the uniform. They hope, that if their boys are permitted to return home again after it is all over, that they will come as fine and viril and upright as when they left their homes to join the colors of their country. We see men working for the best pay they ever received, enjoying every right that can be enjoyed, and yet kicking and complaining. Think of the soldiers fighting in the desert and rationed to a pint of water a day. Think of those who st arved and fought in Bataan and elsewhere, among snakes and cro-codiles and savages, subsisting on a bit of rice and scraps of mule meat in order that your rights may live. In order to save the Union Abraham Lincoln had to sus-pend some of the constitutional guarantees in the Bill of Rights, notably the Habeus Corpus right. Judge Taney ruled that a president could not do this, but it was done in some of the 38,000 cases of arrest during the Civil War. In order to save the constitution Lincoln had to save the nation that is governed by the constitution even if he had to violate it. It is a preposterous idea of men that they can invoke the rights of the constitution for the purpose of destroying it. Today every traitor and saboteur is hiding behind the Bill of Rights while trying to destroy the government. How can we save either constitution or government by tolerating trea-son against them? We must determine as Lincoln did that the constitutional guarantees depend on the saving of the nation which is governed by the constitution. It appears that the liquor interests either control or silence the press of the country by the fabulous sums they spend for advertising. Just now when a demand for prohibition is grow-ing they are pouring out money like water for the "artistic" ads in the newspapers and magazines. In four years after re-peal, hard liquor manufacturers and dealers spent $75,000,000 for advertising and the brewers $6,000,000. Readers may judge from this just what influence they bring to bear on the press. Utah was pretty well governed in 1916. The people were served quite well we believe. According to the Utah Taxpay-ers' Bulletin the total amount of indirect taxes, fees, Jlicenses, etc., amounted to only $701,852. At the end of 1941 these tnxes, fees, licenses, etc., amounted to $19,578,687. In the last tea years, they have raised from $4,725,825 to $19,578,687, or nearly five times what they were in 1931. $Are weflgovern-e- d any better, or do the people get more for their money now than then? r"T He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world Benjamin Franklin. There are two powers at work in the earth and each of them is aspiring to rule the people of the world. Somewhat blindly they are driving toward the Holy Land where one of the powers plans to set up the rule of force and bring about the slave and master state as it existed in ancient empires, and to usurp the throne or power of the Prince of Peace and hold it by force of arms. The other power plans to make men and nations free, to bring universal peace, pood will and broth-erhood. Even this power does not know that its mission is to tear away from human society all the things that enslave, all interest and debt and exploitatiou; to destroy all the economy patterned fter Babylon; to do away with all false teachers! and teaching. All nations will take part in this and the war will go on until the cleansing is complete and the people are ready for the government of the Kingdom. This war is the battle of the great day of the Almighty' ' as told so plainly in scripture. It is being waged not only for overcoming and vanpuishing the enemies of righteousness but also for the purpose of compelling the Israel nations to come out of the mire of Mammon and restore His statutes and as the law of the land, and to drive them to rep- - entence. The war is being carried on for a purporse to which all participants are blind. They do not know it but they are j being used by Destiny as instruments for the thorough clean-sing of the earth preparatory to the Great Day of the coming of the Prince of Peace and the ushering in of His and His brother Man's Kingdom. That there is another Germany which would, if it could fight with the United Nations in this struggle, is not to be denied- - Whether that other Germany shall triumph at home and enable the German people to take their place with the United Nations in a free world all nations hall enjoy security an.l fruitful intercourse, hangs on the issue of present events. Those who came at the dictator's behtst and in his pay, trained by his gestapo, to destroy the vitals of America, are comrades of some within the country who stood ready to help them iu their deadly work. There are "Americans" in this and other cities who would have welcomed, even aided them had they ot been caught We say to them, and espec-ially to those who are busy stabbing America's heroic ally in the back, that those who have be;n caunht and who were ready to put the United States down and out and bury he.- civiliza-tion beneath the heels of for'ign despots, are not communists, They are your fascist comrades These formidable fighting machines can not take ' reach the theatre of war. part in offensive action until they is stepped up, trans-portation No matter to what extent production still remains a vital factor.

DEFINITELY, as Peg-le- r says, Tain't RIGHT, the pre-sent government officials are dis-posed to do NOTHING ABOUT it. Viewed from the negative side, I have seen, and now see, so many really good people becoming en-gulfed with these great scourges, indirectly and all too often direct-ly that I, Eugene Middleton, a young man, starting out, am healthily afraid to not follow and practice these great, God-give- n remedial principles in my life. And viewed positively, I am thor-oughly convinced that, as we ex-ercise faith, courage, and initia-tive, we actually experience and have great plentitude of abund-ance, health and joy particularly in addition, (and this is most important too), we live temper-ately on NATURAL, fresh, foods, in our physical life and lead lives of SERVICE to our fellowmen and humanity, in our social lives and economic func-tions and activity.
