No one will again question their vigor and their Industry, their love of freedom and fraternity, their faith and their courage, their constancy and contrition. Inured to hardship, they withstood the blasts of winter, win-ter, the drought of summer, and the ravages ravag-es of the insect; trained in feats of industry, indus-try, they built the bridges, the canals, the workshop, the roads, and the factory; 1 t schooled in freedom, they opened their fates, their institutions, and their homes tojthe self-respecting immigrant; instructed in fraternity, they erected cooperatives, united in community enterprises, and fos tered the spirit of brotherly love: imbued 4 with ' courage, they founded the village, braved the Indian assault, stemmed the torrent, tor-rent, and defied the precipice; advised in constancy, they remained true to city, state, and nation; and mellowed in contrition, contri-tion, they bowed to the will of the Author and Finisher of our devotion. Is there any wonder that from such a background should come musicians, scientists, statesmen, artis ans, sculptors, husbandmen, leaders, and soldiers? No one will question the bravery of the young men and women of Utah, who during the two recent world conflicts have given their means, their service, their all for the defense of their country. And for theheritage left us we, the descendants of Utah pioneers, are not ungrateful. We real ize that we have a duty to perform, a work to accomplish; and we Shall not falter. Ed. M. Rowe. i i -1 "No TimeTo Relax" Things like these come through the air ovefthe wires "these days, or are whispered by persons who had them confidently from authorities they can't identify: Italy is a j pushover. All we have to do is to land and I the population will rise to acclaim us. The S Italians are fighting the Germans wherever they can get at them. The Balkan nations need only the word to rise in the cause of liberty. The German army is about readv j to mutiny. Hitler is counting his toes never getting the same total twice alike in a sanitarium. Goenng has reformed. United Nations air raids have reduced Germany to a quivering pulp. We can hope that there is some truth in these rumors, But we had better not act as though we believed there was. Behind them are the most skillful rumor manufacturers in the world. The secret weapon of - the Nazis has always been lies. They have no other that amounts to anything. -They want us to act as though the war Were already won. They want us to stop working so hard, stop buying so many bonds, stop conforming to the ration rules, stop submitting so cheerfully to the inconveniences of war. They want us to relax. The fighting man does not relax. The enemy is before him. If he takes victory i for granted he loses his life. There is no danger of a letdown on any of our fronts, t The danger is a letdown at home. I Berlin and Tokyo are a long way off. Let us face the fact. If we stand up to it, if we p do our work, if we each pay our share of the bill and a little more, we will arrive. I The way to hasten the end of the war is to 4 work and sacrifice as though the worst of ' it and the most exacting part of it were still ) to come. i If we let them down we let down our sons and brothers in uniform.

Not many of the Democratic delegates who partook of Mayor Ed Kelly's genial, wen-planned hospitality realized that It la eren- erauy expeccea among cntcago poimcos mat Kelly wur cut tne Democratic ucKet in ravor or Republi can uovemor uwignt Green, who is up for re-election. During the convention, most rabid critic of everything Roosevelt does- or stands for was the Chicago Tribune. Cartoons, headlines, news stories all heaped sarcasm, ridicule on the Democrats at Chicago. Yet host Mayor Kelly is considered to be in a political deal with the Tribune. The paper waged no crusade against him when he ran for re-election. He is expected to back the Tribune s Governor Green in return. In cutting; the Democratic ticket, many Chicago leaders fear that Kelly, cant help injuring the chances of the man whose pictures he has spread all over the city. Franklin D. Roosevelt for president presi-dent and Republican Green for governor--, -rac ticaiiy, it doesn't usually work out that way. it taxes a very intelligent voter to spilt a ticket Most Democratic delegates who enjoyed delight ful Ed Kelly's hospitality probably didn't realize either that, when he was -indicted in 1930, it was the Chicago Tribune's law firm which secretly directed di-rected his defense. Forgotten Drive Against Bosses. Probably Most of them also have forgotten the days when crusading Prank Murphy, then heading uie justice department, began closing up the big city bosses, many of them Democratic. Murphy jailed Pendergast, Democratic boss of Kansas City and the man who gave a start to Senator Harry Truman. He also Jailed Governor Leche of Louisiana, Loui-siana, phis - other New Orleans politicos, and Investigated In-vestigated the Hague machine in Jersey City and the Kelly-Nash machine in Chicago. Murphy actually indicted two of the Kelly- Nash key men. Bill Skidmore and BUI Johnson. Then suddenly. Attorney General Murphy was pro moted to the supreme court of the United States. After that, only a few witnesses were called against Johnson. The U. S. attorney's office seemed lethargic in its prosecution. However, a runaway, jury convicted Johnson, despite the fact that Wash ington had lost interest. Johnson is sun appealing his case to higher courts, but Skidmore died in jail. These are things which Republican do as well as Democrats in election years. But anyway you look at it, politics is a cynical game. Convention Chaff Democrats were surprised to see former GOP National Chairman John D. M. Hamilton scooting through the Stevens Hotel lobby. John said ne was here on private law business, was still a Republican. Republi-can. . . . Kentucky's Senator "Happy" Chandler admitted that his brief vice presidential boom was shoestring affair. Asked how he was making out. Chandler said, "Well, all it cost me was rail road fare to try." . . . "The Stevens Hotel," ac cording to Ernest Cuneo, "would be a safe place to hide during a bad storm. "The hotel has more lightning rods out than any place 'in America." Twenty vice presidential candidates all hoped lie-htnine; would strike them. . . . Mayor Kelly s special supper for convention potentates featured a long line-of hula-hula night-club dancers, wnen the dancers came in. Kelly, ordered news photographers photo-graphers out. . . . New Democratic ' slogan coined for campaign use is: "Are we going to let Hitler stay in and Roosevelt go out?" Hitler and Roosevelt Roose-velt came to power in same year, 1933. . . . One reason Senator Joe Guffey agreed to head the Wallace boom was his bitter feud with soutnern senators, who excluded him from every impor tant convention committee. FDR's Vice Presidential Strategy Before the Democratic convention was many hours old. It became apparent to those around the White House that the president probably meant to kill off both vice President Wallace and ex-Jus-tice Jimmy Byrnes.and out of this deadlock secure a compromise candidate. This has been a typical Roosevelt strategy for many years to let two sides battle it out and then pick the strongest side, or else onng a com promise out of the fray. Inside fact is that FDR could have kept either Byrnes or Wallace out of the race by telling them frankly he didn't want tnem to run. uut on more than one occasion, when Justice Byrnes asked him about it point-blank over the telephone, Roose velt gave him a glowing sena-orr. eyrnes even took notes on what the president said. Likewise. Wallace, although not anxious to be discarded, several times offered to step aside if the president said the - word. That word never came. Obviouslv, Wallace was vigorously opposed by tne south, while Byrnes had his serious political handicaps handi-caps in the north. However, the president's friends say he was tired of being accused of dictating to the convention, conven-tion, so he decided to let the boys battle It out. NOTE There never seemed to be any doubt in Bob Hannegan's mind from the start that he wanted Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, the man who helped elevate him to the Democratic chairman. However, there was terrific resentment against Hannegan from those who point out tnat th rkomormtlc chairman is paid $1,500 a month by the entire party and is supposed to be neutral. He was not paid Dv the Truman conorw aione. Tn RMctlnm On Wallace Genial Jim Farley, avowed a nti -fourth term Democrat, became plenty excited at th first re port of dumping Wallace, then sat dck to wan f-.vr o-iteom. f??.M Fnrlrv: "Flirt tV" tnld no it v.-rs KarUlev.

For the last two weeks I have hist about forgotten how to sleeps True, I get several hours in bed every night often as many as five or six, but I don't sleep. One of these days I'm going to go to bed and sleep the clock around. If I had to be a farmer, I ask myself, why did I ever pick out a fruit farm? And then again,, I am not sorry because there is a lot of excitement to it for a short season. When I look around 4t my little crew of cherry pick ers, and realize that they will do anything I ask them to, and as much as I ask them it renews ray faith in humanity, especially the younger part thereof. Each day I and my two nearest neighbors have to turn away children chil-dren asking for jobs, and so I realize we are lucky. But I've noticed this: children like to select their own employer. employ-er. I doubt if any of my kids would take kindly to the idea of gathering on a street corner and being; told whom the y are to work for. And I know I much prefer choosing employe e s whom I know rathe r than those selecte d for me by any employ men t agency whatsoever. what-soever.

The men used to go down as far as Milton, Oregon to begin har-early har-early harvest and wind up in the Big Bend of the Columbia river. Wages were high and hours long. As I recall the big thresmng outfits used to start work at four o'clock, and have breakfast at six. After supper they would have another whirl at it by lantern light The Palouse country was no exception; the same procedure pro-cedure was followed in all the big wheat sections of the middle west Sometimes jobs were hard to get I remember my own father and a friend coming home foot sore and weary after a three weeks fruitless search for work. We lived In a rent free shack on a God forsaken bit of prairie called Alkali Flat. The only bright spot I remember is riding down to the fertile bars along Snake river to pick cherries on shares; my two brothers on one horse. and I perched behind my mother on another. I suppose those cher ries tasted hetter to me than anything I ever ate In my life be cause our diet consisted mostly or potatoes ana gravy. No doubt a psychologist would decide that this had something to do with me getting a cherry ranch these many, many years later. it all changed now. There are no transient laborers ready io oeg ror jobs any more. Most of them are in the army, and the rest in defense jobs. It tooked to a lot of us as though the farm pro Diem could not be solved with' out this help, but it lias. Instead of laborers following the harvest it is the owners of com Dine harvesters who move from place to place and do the work that used to be done by hand. Extra tires and fuel are provided for such people. Neighbor! Neigh-bor! turn out to help each other, and all in all there will be little rood spoil in the field.

Now, when I hire a strange kids I look on them with a mean and suspicious eye until they have proven themselves. When they begin to tell me how much better system was used at the last place they worked I am generally pretty curt until the question as to who is boss is settled, then we usually usual-ly get along fine. But in gen eral kids once they lose their initial suspicion, are quicker to cooperate than adults.

Tou will find very few of these items available today, and you ask why? Because of a shortage of alcohol necessary to manufacture the above, and other products. For two years now we have been on short sugar ration so that we could have sua-ar to make alcohol with and we've waited in line like beggars to get enough sugar to can a little fruit also going with out in the kitchen presumably so our boys on the fighting fronts could have the tilings they need. and we've been glad to do it. But now what have we? News that the government is going to issue enough alcohol to manufactureers to make 59,000,000 gallons of whiskey in the 31 days of the month of August Can you im agine this? That much whiskey will contain approximately 45, 000,000 gallons of pure alcohol. and yet food products are going off the market for lack of an al cohol carrier. Every day we hear on the radio of how housewives are helping the war effort by can nlng and preserving and going without so the boys on the war front might eat but it s really so the home front might drink. Little good is a pat on the back if it is followed up by a kick in the pants.
