GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE IS THE VOICE OF GOD It has always been heralded from the chief pulpits that the voice of the people is the voice of God. So it is, and so let it be, now and forever more. "Ever the right comes uppermost, and ever is justice done." We rejoice at the outcome of the election and heartily congratulate the win-ners, with all due sympathy for the losers. It seems to us that there are some and they are not among the humble lowly who should repent in sackcloth and ashes and ask the Lord to forgive them for their con-tinuous defamation of the government fouC times elected by the people and four times sustained by the Great Ruler who holds in His hands the destinies of the Republic. How grandly the L. D. S. Book of Mormon, Mosiah 29 : 26, backs us up: "It is not common that, the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right ; but it is common for the lesser part of the p'eople to desire that which is not right ; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law to do your business by the voice of the people." ( IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO LEARN SOME THINGS . . . AND TO UNLEARN OTHERS During the League of Nations' fight in the U. S. Senate, we had a letter and newspaper debate with Senator Reed Smoot. We have just had it stated to us that President J. Reuben Clark wrote the speeches and most likely the letters for the Senator, and that he boasted of having done as much as one man could do to defeat the League. We would like to have the debate over again and have it with President Clark, who was behind the Senator; that is, have the debate in writing. But he,.with his piles of wealth and his high position would not have anything to do with us. He said in conference that he hated war, and yet he defies the system that causes all wars and always will. Wars have swept the world from the beginning and there never has been an organization to prevent it. Clark was bitterly op-posed to the League of Nations and he is bitterly opposed to any plan proposed by the present administration, and through the printed word he transmits that idea to the people. --- ?1 Farm Science I Steps Forward j Important Discoveries So New Some of Them Are Not Yet in Use. STORRS, CONTT. Several dis-- ; coveries in farm science are so new they have not been put into general farm practice as yet, Dean E. G. Woodward, director of the Con-necticut college of agriculture, said: "There is the control of mastitis, which is one of the most widespread diseases of dairy cows," he pointed out. "Possibly 20 per cent of the cows of the country are infected with this disease. It is of great economic importance because it decreases milk production. The disease means the difference between profit and loss on many dairy farms. It can be almost completely eliminated by systematic control measures. "Then there is Bang's disease another ailment of dairy cows which is yielding to carefully worked out control measures. Faster Milking. "A new system of fast milking based on new knowledge of milk se-cretion which saves time is being i put into rather widespread use just now. This is the use of a hot appli-cation to the teats and floor of the udder of a dairy cow to prepare her for quick and thorough milking. "The most profitable dry period for dairy cows has been determined to be about eight weeks. That is two weeks longer than has been com- - ' monly accepted. j "Grass silage can be put up sue-- cessfully without a preservative, providing the moisture content is controlled to about 65 per cent. "Ladino clover Is revolutionizing the carrying capacity of pasture in certain areas of the east in much ;! the same way that lespedeza has changed the cropping routine of the midsouth in recent years. .j New Hay Curing. j "Quick freezing as well as dehy-dration of farm products as methods of preservation are attracting a lot ' of interest. These are ancient practices, but' new adaptations and inventions are bringing them into general use today. "There is the use of caustic sprays in the thinning of fruit stands which eventually may save a lot of labor and improve the quality of the crop. "New methods of curing hay more quickly by mashing the stems and by blowing air through the hay are being tried. "Industrial uses of farm products are opening up a field of immense possibilities. Plastic products from soybeans are the common example.' Industrial use of farm products should do much to eliminate price iepressing surpluses." j SOME THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES AND OUR VIEWS While we give some personal news, and a very little of, some general news, we are not a dispenser of news in the regular sense. There is plenty of that by, all the other papers daily, weekly, and monthly. We devote our efforts principally to editorial matter and we try to make that matter as stimulating and inspiring as we can, and the only reason there is not more of it, and better, is the limitation of means wherewith to do it. We look upon conditions in the world somewhat differ-ently from the views held by the great majority. We sin-cerely believe that the age-ol- d capitalistic system, with due credit for whatever good it has done, has served its time and is dying as a punishment for its own sins. We base this belief on the predictions of the prophets" and the signs of the times. We believe that this system has severed itself from the great spiritual aspirations of man, and we know that no spiritual progress can be made while it rules the minds and hearts of men. We believe that the war will sweep' the world clean of the things that stand in the way of the real Kingdom of Man, which will also be the Kingdom of God. It is our testimony that the leaders who have been and are in the forefront of this, the world's greatest strug-gle, have been raised up by Providence for their mission and if some of their mission has to be destructive of the things that have to be swept aside, they are still in the line of the work that Destiny has laid upon them. We see, over and above it all, the Grand Day and the Grand Promise that the prophets and poets have ever held before the eyes of men. - "He who sees most clearly and enlightens other minds most readily, keeps his own lamp trimmed and burning." Mary Baker Eddy. "The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel." Shakespeare. The social problem is a problem of how to so the world that organize all humans may be equally secure in the material means and social resources needful for a complete life. "Let us most earnestly pray that the future historians will record that out of the fire-o- f total war America emerged with a faith stronger than any she had known before. Gethsemene led Jesus of Nazareth to Calvary. But it did not lead Him there without a Hope far more profound and certain than any human mind has ever known. So may it be with us." America should have its soul relighted and by this war. But has she? Already we are in Paris with new ideas of exploitation and preparing to con-tinue the old system. We have not yet suffered sufficiently to see the light and turn into the better way. Prevention of war, of poverty, of disease, of unhap-pines- s, of suicide, of crime, incompetency and illiteracy; and all that tends to the degeneracy of the human race are the watchwords which this paper holds in view. As men ad-vance in knowledge they should be led to behold a New Order of things. Old and wrong, conceptions "should drop out of sight and there should come a clearer viewpoint of life, duty and destiny. 1 1 SOME PERSONAL ITEMS I ' O.P.A. reports that "A landlord may reduce his rent below the maximum and return to the maximum, without notifying or petitioning the area rent office on either occa-sion." Glen D. Reese. Mrs. Iva Willis had a short stay in the hospital lately. Her health is not the best. She must keep well, as her strength is needed in Old Age circles. Our nephew, David Petersen of Mt. Pleasant, was inducted into the army service last Monday which leaves his father without any help on the farm. Mrs. J. W. Hutchison of 612 East 21st South, likes the paper and has seen to it that it keeps coming. She is one of the prominent workers in the Columbus ward. Neighbor Fred J. Tadje has had the misfortune to lose a son in action overseas. The boy, John, was a fine fellow, and should forever be remembered as one who did his full duty and made the supreme sacrifice. Our nephew, Keith Lund, son of Julia Lund and the late James A. Lund, has been home on a two-wee- k furlough, coming direct from Iran in Persia. He is in the engine de-partment as a merchant seaman and has seen much of the country over there. While his ship was sailing in the Indian ocean last August it was torpedoed and sunk. There were 68 men on board. Sixty-si- x were, saved and two lost. Those saved, and Keith with them, were adrift in life boats for many hours before they were picked up. This was one of the thrilling events of his young life and can never be forgotten. For years we have been meeting, now and then, a good friend, Mr. Wm. E. Jackson. During the campaign he came upon one of our papers and immediately he had his name placed on the list. And we feel that we have con-nected up with a mighty good man. Three of our nieces have made efforts to visit us during the past week or so. Miss Judity Ann Petersen, of Mt. Pleasant, and Mrs. Lucile Blackham of Moroni, came when we were out. We were very sorry to miss them. Mrs. Elinore Kjar of Manti came at the right time and with her we had a good short visit. She and her husband and four children are doing very well. He works in a store and she teaches school. Leon White, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. White, came home from Africa last week on a short furlough. He is in the radio transmission service and has been out in some of the worst of it and has traveled extensively on land and sea. He has been away over eighteen months. Hans L. Lund, an employee of the county road depart-ment, has had the misfortune to suffer an injury to his back which has laid him up for a time. of Mr. and Mrs. Harold L. Keith and Lee Larsen, sons Larsen, and Elmo Lund, son of Julia Lund, are overseas giving their best services to the war effort. Elmo has been on several bombing flights. Co. treats us Earl Jackman, of the Gaddis Investment very kindly in the matter of notary work, and we appre-ciate She is not in it. His good wife, Anna, is our cousin the best of health but we hope she may find the way back to perfect health and strength. Margaret Densley, daughter of Mr. fd M" xtedfcr Jensen of Sandy, and little son, Richard dep. Texas early this week to join her husband who is tatted there in the army service. The trip was made by driven by her brother Dick. We failed to keep an appointment with Part orou Heinrich last Saturday, for which we are sorry back business is to serve the poor and we welcome him make another appointment which we shall keep. Our reports that his wife, good friend Henry C. Flesher 4, at the Hughes gave birth to a baby girl on November Memorial hospital, Spanish Fork. It weighed 6 pounds nine ounces. Father, mother and child doing nne. has beerl a right Renholt Mattson, formerly of Salina About eve y good friend for over a quarter of a ntury. of venison. Thank year he remembers us with sizable roast with the armed Sgt. Udell Larsen, expert radio of-t-or and has ha a forces in England, is doing very than two ye. of promotions. He has been absent more without any furlough. .- - SOMETHING CONGRESS SHOULD DO SOON Congress should establish what might be known as a Monetary Authority. To this agency should be given the sole and exclusive right to create money or any sub-- .' stitute therefore in the United States. This money should be put into circulation by the establishment of credits on the books of the Monetary Authority in favor of the United States Treasury against which the Treasury might draw and which, it could regard as a source of income the same as tax revenues, or the kind of borrowing in which we now indulge. The amount of such credits should be precisely enough and no more than enough to provide for the same rate of expansion of money in circulation as the rate by which production of real goods and services in-creases. With such a monetary system in existence, the American nation could earn its way out of debt by the simple process of increasing production. For the more we expanded our power to produce the more we as a nation would be entitled to credit our own Treasury books with a corresponding credit entry. That money could be used to pay off gradually the national debt. And mean- - while we would not be compelled, as we ,? are today, to face the desperate alternative between either increasing our debt without limit after the war or else suffering eco- - nomic collapse, depression, unemployment, farm foreclosures, and business bankruptcy. For at the present time the more pro-- duction increases the greater our debt must become, since only by increasing the amount of the national debt or private debt or both which is owed to the money-creatin- g banks is it possible for us to secure a sum- - cietn volume of the medium of exchange to move goods through the process of pro- - duction and into the hands of consumers. With a scientific monetary system in effect, however, just the opposite would be the case. Instead of private banking insti-tutions exercising in unconstitutional fash- - j ion the prerogative of creating money and then exacting interest tribute from the rest ' i of the nation for its use, the nation as a whole would derive the economic advan- - tage from the creation of money whose value is always determined by what it will buy and hence by the rate of produc- tion of the people. ; U.S. DOES NOT NEED TO CALL ANY OTHER NATION GODLESS Nations, like individuals, who live in glass houses, should not throw stones. During the campaign, and all the time, for that matter, there were many who referred to some other nations as "Godless." The truth is that this country is about as Godless as any other. Materialism has practically dethroned God. While we profess with our lips that we are believers, many of our actions' and manner of life belie us and set us before the world as hypocrites. Most churches are empty and devoid of spirit and vision. The average sermon is flabby indeed. The percentage of people who attend church is very low. And here is one of the worst situations that can prevail among a people: More than half of the nation's children receive no religious in-struction whatever, never enter a church and are growing up without knowing anything about religion. Our people, for the most part, follow their own sweet wills and violate practically all the commandments. The home is being undermined, and marriage is becoming almost a mockery. We will pay more dearly for this than most men are willing to admit There is neither vision nor anything of the spirit-ual in the great world of finance. Nor can there be any spiritual progress. God pity the honest masses who are thus beino- - left to remain mired in the controlling system of greed and plunder and exploitation, with so little spiritual light.
