As for us, our every day work is to expound truth in our way and as we understand it. We envy none save those who have more power and opportunity to do good. We are wholely dedicated lo this end and we pray for the strength to serve the people. We believe that "Whatever lifts us from the dust we are Beyond the sensual to the spiritual goals," is the best good Politics. Think of the "Bin Master minds ' in congress debating, quarreling and all but fighiing over the president's dog while the world s greatest problems lie unsolved before them! Its a new low in politics. Those taking part in it should be at home feeding hogs and rabbits. God help the peace if it is in their hands! Saturday's Democratic con-vention was a "howling" suc-cess. When such n large num-ber of He men will leave father and mother, wives and child-ren and home and cleave lo the party, there is gieat hope for more balm in Gil'ead and it foreshadows victory Nov. 7. search out the bad in their brothers, and shout it from the housetops, nor to deny them food for their starving babes, and clothing against want and winter. What spirit is it that indirectly criticizes people for giving clothing to the . needy afar off? It is the very opposite to the spirit of God. Speaking of the Russians, we could cite you to a million heroic deeds that rank with any in history. A world 20-ye- ar world record of educational and industrial development, a million noble millions of cases of genuine Bro-therhood and Comradeship, and more than ten million mar-tyrs whodied for their country, and for their defamers, and for all the citizens of this country. The way some men and some papers revile a whole people is as though the worst enemies the L.D.S. people ever had were to come out of their graves and again villify the Mormons and ask the world to believe it. The campaign being carried on is vicious, largely false and wholly It vitiates and taints the in-fluence that should be used for culture, uplift, vision, and all the better things of life. SOME WAYS THAT ARE FOREIGN TO THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Hate and Defamation Do Not Belong to Gospel Preaching and publishing hate for the President and for during six days of the week and preaching the Motherhood of Man on the seventh does not seem reason-u- i TH smacks of Phariseeism. True religion enjoins men ftook for and to speak of the good in others, and to do good unto them. Nowhere does the gospel enjoin men to Utah's Senetor Thomas riiT" tlllil yfllS: f ' Too busy with the big and real problems of the nation and the world he has not been able 'o get home for the campaign, but soon he will be here. He is a power for good in the senate, . SOME TRUTH ABOUT CAUSE OF DELINQUENCY Some of the Following Statements Are From the Liquor Interests "Drunkenness, misery, broken homes are increasing to an alarming extent. . . . We are fighting for the children." (Father M. F. Flynn, of Saint Thomas Aquinas Church.) "The records of the court show an increase of drunken-ness among women to the extent of 200 per cent since repeal." (Report of Cambridge Youth Commission.) Judge J. T. Zottoli, Associate Justice of Boston Municipal Court, says, "Sixty-seve-n per cent of juvenile offenders come from broken homes, caused in 50 per cent of the cases by alcoholism." "The mounting number of cases of acute alcoholism among minors is startling evidence that not only do too many retailers sell doubtful wares, but they sell to any buyer." .(Mida's Criterion, liquor journal.) "Alcoholic liquor is responsible for 20 to 30 per cent of all the cases that come into the Boys' Court." (Judge J. M. Braude, Chicago.) Dr. W. A. Sturges, executive director, Distilled Spirits Institute, says, "The complaints I have had . . . seem to cen- - ter around what , the public sees by way of behavior of the retail outlets ... I have complaints all the time of children's cocktail parties." And "Modern Brewer" frankly declares: "We are grad-ually lowering the moral standard of youth and the women. ... The contacts whether the women be of high moral standards or hangers-o-n cannot be differentiated after they become intoxicated. . . . There seems to be something about alcohol that sets its problems aside as unique and vicious." "HONEST MONEY AND PEACE VS. USURIOUS MONEY AND WAR" By Geo. A. Startup Dear Citizen: The misery and war carnage and the unparalleled destruction of life and property today, are the cumulative effect of many generations, of complacent indif-ference to the power of the ballot of the average citizen of 'democracies' throughout the world. Through long sufferance by the masses of the greedy manipulations and monopolies of their exploiters, avarice and unintelligent sel-fishness have reacted in a struggle likely to destroy our present civilization and culture of many centuries. At the root of this diabolical mess is the ignorant con-servatism that has tried to operate a modern world of mass production and plenty with an ancient money system inherited from an age of hand-cra- ft and scarcity. With unlimited technological development, reducing the need of human en-ergy to a minimum of 1 to 2 per cent, we have been stupid not to have long ago recognized that adequate distribution cannot be effected with the old system of debt economy, for it has concentrated 97 per cent of all values in the hands of relatively few corporations and individuals. Home From Far Pacific. Clair Duane Olsen, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Clair Ol-sen, and our own grandson, is home from the far Pacific seas on a 15-da- furlough after a year's absence. He arrived here Sunday noon on a Western Air Line plane glad to be home. He is a Pharmacist Mate, 2nd classi serving ou a big transport carrying soldiers to the islands and bringing the wounded back He eaw the first action on Sai pan, and has traversed '30,000 miles of sea. He says "we don't take anything from the Jape, we just -- ill em.'' He borough t home a Jap rifle and cartrid-ges and some Jap money. He highly of the way the Americans treat and save thuir on.v wounded. v IN THE FACE OF VICTORY DARE YOU LOOK TRUTH IN THE FACE? How and Where It All Will End Says our good friend, Howard Rand, editor of Destiny: "Palestine is prophetically destined to become the battle ground in the final and greatest bids for world rulership. The fate of the world is to be decided there. Very shortly all nations will steer their course toward that land for the fiol statre of this war. The victory over Germany and Japan will be but a preliminary step. The fateful days ahead will see plenty of internal strife in the nations and during that time certain aggressors will strike straight ijor Palestine in accordance with the Lord's word, "I will gather ' all nations against Jerusalem." A commentator says England is preparing to send troops into the Balkans to see that the Russians do not go too far. That will start the last and terrible phase of the Battle of the Great Day of the Almighty and end only when all nations are practically destroyed, with such loss of life as will make the 20,000,000 lost in the present conflict look like nothing at all. But mark this learn it remember it: "It will be the last time that men ' will make war." All the prophets, every one of them, show the warring nations gathering in and around Palestine for the final and last stage of conflict. After that,, within the generation that was in this and the first World war, men shall make no more wars and they shall not hurt or destroy one another. The next 3Vz years will finish it. MANWARING SPEAKS OUT AGAIN IF the Republicans are elected they are going to make Utah a Garden of Eden or Utopia, which? According to present plans, Utah will have a constitutional form of gov-ernment; only one man will disburse the cash the taxpayers money and he will be the Treasurer; the primary law will be revamped, sales tax and PENSIONERS will be abolished. I The people must not give in to Adam like Adam gave h to Eve. ADAM BENNION appears to be so worried about the Democrats and the present administration that he has formu-lated 10 questions for them to answer. Don't be impatient, Adam. Some poor deluded Democrat will come along one of these days and make the Doctor appear like a novice in the political game. He will not only answer the Doctor's questions but will ask him some he can't answer. G.E.M.
