EDITORIALS The Why and the Wherefore Of This Cruel and Terrible War 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 The war is being carried on for a purporse to which all participants are blind. They do not know it but they are 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. 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, cood 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. Personal! m2 Hems. 1 For Friends & Neighbors. Wilford Lund, a first cousin, was the firt caller Monday and covered our tabic with a divi-- : dend check. He likes the pap-er and he an his good wife always take time out to read it Tbey have good jobs and live happily in a cozy apartment, having proved that even though part of the road may have been rough there still may be rainbows and bluebirds of hap-piness overhead. When the Lord had reached perfection in creating honest men He then began creating some of our subscribers, among them Emil Gammeter of Phoe-nix, Arizona. He has the good habit of putting the long green righthome every once in awhile. He is still making clean deals in good dirt. And, believe us clean deals are something to wonder at even in Zion. An English cabby warf asked if he ever got hurt in the air raids. "Never a scratch.'' And how about your family?" "Well my wife did have a bit of both-er alright." "What happened to her?" "She 'ad 'er 'ead Mow-ed off." Mrs. Forbes of 53 So. tith E. says she likes to help an iusti. tution that does as much good as this paper She reports that she is doing well. For the pre-sent her fine son is home from the service on an extended h. Local Forum meets Saturday evening at 7:30 in the City and County Building. Ruel J. Alder will speak on the Course of Inhuman Events. Geo. A. Udell, Chairman. We never knew until the oth-er day that Neighbor W. A. Hudson hailed from Sanpete. His father taught school there many years ago. Mr. Hudson is a building contractor and is doing wel Neighbor J. Everet Seely is as honest in business with us as a man can be. He is a retired po tal worker and an engineer. The govern-ment needed an engineer badly but because of his little annuity they could not take him. He is a mighty good man and we tell him now that in spite of his not believing that the big whale's interior provided com-fortable living quarters for Jon-ah, and that Joshua took down the sun and held it on his lap while he unwound it, we know him to be an upright, honorable man whose dealings with his fellow men will compare fav-orably with those of any of the saints. Mrs. Lottie Lund McKay is recovering from an operation for appen-piciti- s at the home of her parents in Boise, Idaho. As soon as well she will join her husband in Philadelphia. Lyman Petersen has been transferred from the govenment Agrcultural department in Salt Lake to Moab. Albert, his bro-ther, in the service has been transferred from Seattle to Can ada.

Seventeen pounds of kitchen fats . saved will provide a pound and a half of glycerine, enough to fire 85 anti-tan- k shels The family can opener is due for a rest; WPB has order-- ; ed that fewer tin cans be made from now on, and in larger sizes, to save critical metals. It takes 71 railroad trains each with a minimuu of 20 cars to move an army division of about 15,000 men with their wea- -, pons and equipment. Since troops traveling by rail move at a rate of about 250 miles a day, it would take almost 1,500 cers ten days to move the division across the U. S. ' "There was once a better Japan a Japan which was gro ping toward political democracy and toward greater prosperity and individual freedom for its c tizens. But that Japan has now been relegated to the sad category of things which might have been. For more than ten years the current has been flowing strongly in the opposite direction, gathering speed un-- I till it,bas swirled into the maelstrom of warfare from which, in her case, there is no return. Japan, in choosing war, has turned her back once an d for all upon the path leading to inter national cooperation between nations and freedom and pros-perity for all peoples. There can be no hope for the democra-tic Japan which might have been until the Japan which exists today has been vanquished and destroyed." ! Some Catholic chu rch organization has a dopted a ten- - point after-the-- ar program, and there are some parts of it that should be put over, especially in countries where Catholics are ifi control. They ask for decent living wages for workers, decent homes for the poor, etc. But it is to point ten that we wish to'pay attention. "It reads as follows! "10. Theenor- - mous inequality in distribution of wealth and control of lives of the masses by a comparatively few rich people is against the social order. There must be a renewal of the Christian j spirit of brotherhood which the last few generations of scien-tif- ic prosperity and "get rich quick" have gone far to kill." Trend of Indirect Taxation Five Times Higher Since 1931 Utah was pretty well governed in 1916. The people were served quite well we believe. According to the Utah Taxpay-ers' Bullet n the total amount of indirect taxes, fees, licenses, etc , amounted to only $701,852. At the end of 1941 these tnxes fees, licenses, etc., amounted to $19,578,687. In the last ten years they have raised from 14,725,825 to $19,578,687, or nearly five times what tliey were in 1931. Are we govern ed any better, or do the pcop'e get more for their money now than then? How Liquor Controls - l-,- .- ... The Piess of the Country ; It appenrs tha t 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 S6, 000, 000. Readers may judge from this just what influence they bring to bear on the press U. S. Troops Survey New Post in Cairo ' J t . ( "f "sill i!ni t, -- O K U. S. soldiers look over the Cairo rooftops from their new b.llet in the Middle East. Since this picture was taken the battle of Egypt has been raging furiously, with Field Marshal Erwin Romme d.rect.ng the Axis thrust toward Alexandria and Suez, while huge U. S. L.berator bomb-ers struck heavily at the enemy in and behind the battle area. Suspension of Constitutional Rights Sometimes Necessary In order lo 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 ca?es of arrest during the Civil War. In order to save the constitution Linculn had to save the nation that is governed by the constitution even if he had to violate it It i a preposterous idea of men that they can invoke the rights of the constitution for the purpose of destroying it. Today every trait r 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 auainst them? We must determine as Lincoln did that tin co istitutional guarantees depend on the saving of the nation which is governed by the constitution. - - .... Personal Hems. Mrs. Claire Stewart Boyer, one of Salt Lake's prominent and gifted women, has been visiting in California during the past week. We wish we could attend her Faith Coun-cil meetings, bu( if any one will follow us from 9 a. m. to 1:30 p. m. Sundays they would say we have enough faith meetings for the week. . One of the most corrupt pol-iticians and office holders once said: "I don't care what the papers print because those who vote for me can't read. But damn the cartoons, they can see them.'' DonW.Bonnion of 711 Ninth Ave. is making good in the Marine Corps at Quantico, Va. Wm J. Staten of 1520 Gar-field Ave. has signed up to be-gin training in the Marine offi-cers corps. Well, better return the envel-opes we se:.t with statements One by one hopes fall away. 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 tbe soldiers fighting in the desert and rationed to a pint of water a day. Think of those who starved 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. 16 MILLION DOLLARS to Utah Farms and Factories For several years now, far- - mers and manufacturers in Utah have sold an average of $16,000,000 worth of goods to the chain stores in this state each year. That "ain't peanuts." A large part of that 16 mil- - lion dollars worth of prod-ucts is shipped out, bringing ; new money into the state. A large food chain Safe- - way buys an average of 305,000 barrels of Utah flour each year, approximately 25 of the state's average total flour output. More than 40 of this, or 131,892 barrels, is shipped by Safe-Va- y to its stores in other states. ) On this one item alone, ia 1941, more than $475,000 of outside money was brought to Utah.

Says PROGRESSIVE OPINION 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. - - - Telegram From Hitler, Musolini, Hirohito To Chairman Greenwood: Don't turn in your rubber. Don't sacrifice. Go back on your president and your army and navy I and we will give you our new order like we did Czechoslovakia Town of Lidice Immortalized The 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 own. 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 living today except to fight in one way or anoth-er ro make the world free." |
