A merry hart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs 17:22. Every time a man smiles, and much more when he laughs, it adis something to his fragment of life. Sterne. Politicians Are Taking Things Too Seriously When the history of these times gets written, some cloistered clois-tered scholar is going to have a terrible time figuring out why the politicians in this fair land got so much more frightened fright-ened about the state of the nation than the plain people did. We have heard enough calamity howling this summer to dress up the fall of Rome. A visitor from Mars, assuming that he was misguided enough to spend his time listening to the more frenzied campaign orators, would have supposed that Washington already lay in ruins, that the bones of Abraham Abra-ham Lincoln had been flung into the Sangamon river, and that the nationalization of women was going to be arranged just as soon as the registration cards could be made out. Currently, for instance, we have Father Coughlin announcing an-nouncing solemnly that "1940 is the last general election we'll ever have unless the evils of modern capitalism are immediately im-mediately eliminated." .t J- v -i " Come, come now, father: isn't that taking in quite a lot of territory? The evils of capitalism are numerous and we've put up with them for quite a long time; must we really, to preserve our democracy, get rid of every last one of them in the next four years? Are things quite as bad as all that? Suppose we don't get them all eliminated; what is going to happen to our general elections? How are we going to lose tin m? Vim must mean that someone is going to establish a dictatorship over us, don't you? Okay. Now listen, father: This America for which you are so blithely predicting a dictatorship is a big country and it's awfully tough. There are a lot of rowdy people in it who don't like being pushed around. They're the people who shove autos through -store w indows at big conventions, and heave popbottles at umpires at ball games, and toss chairs into rings at wrestling matches and step on the toes of traffic cops. They're the people who turn trucks upside down during "farm holiday" demonstrations, and take ball bats and sawed-ol'l" sawed-ol'l" billiard cues out to the picket lines in strikes. They're the people who turned out by the million to tli row the Wilson administration out of office in 1920 and the Hoover administration out of office in 1932. They're the people who have a derisive "Oh, yeah?" for fakers and stuffed stuf-fed shirts. The man who is going to establish a dictatorship over them had better come early and be prepared to stay late, because, be-cause, he is going to have his hands about as completely full as any human being in all history. Times have been bad and we have a great many hard problems to solve. But things never have been and never w ill be (piite so bad as some of our self-appointed saviors are t rying to make out.

THE HARD SNAR Adult Night School Starts Here Mon day An Ancient Game "International incidents," the stock in trade of war makers, can be manufactured by the dozen. Nor American readers are so gullible as to believe the wearying series of assaults on Japanese honor and dignity in China are mere fortuitous circumstances. They are obviously obvious-ly planned. They provide in each case a fresh excuse for the Japanese occupation of a new railhead or a new port'.- They are getting Japan somewhere. Affronts on national dignity are a business. When Germany or Russia wishes to attack there will be some German or Russian found slain. He must be revenged, etc. Ken the Spanish civil war started that way. Although few remember it now, there was actually a Fascist officer sacrificed on the altar of military expediency just before the war began. That furnished the excuse for civil war. As if war needed an excuse or could be mitigated by one! It is an ancient diplomatic game still being played before be-fore the world audience, this business of suddenly finding one's national honor has been dragged in the dust, fortunately fortunate-ly just as one has completed a four-year rearmament program, pro-gram, and has two regiments alreadv on the border.

JOSEPH, Mo., was the west-tern west-tern terminus of the railroad, in 1860, and communication farther far-ther west was slow and laborious. By ship from New York to Panama, Pana-ma, then across the isthmus and by ship again to San Francisco, it took 22 days to carry the mails. By rail to St. Jo, by stagecoach to Sacramento and thence by steamer to San Francisco, me mail was not much faster. On April 3, 1860, therefore, a courier on a fleet pony left St. Jo carrying a sack of less than 20 pounds of mail, the first of a unique relay system to the west coast. Changing horses about every 10 to 20 miles, transferring the sack to another courier at longer intervals, this unique pony express service speeded the mails over a distance of about 1700 miles in 10 or 11 days. For more than 16 months, thU service continued. The original company was replaced by the famous fa-mous Wells-Fargo Express Company Com-pany in 1861, and a special stamp was issued privately. But the first transcontinental telegraph came in, in October, 1861, and the pony express had to be discontinued. dis-continued. In 1869, the United States issued a stamp showing the pony express courier on his horse. (Copyright. 1936. NBA Service. IlHk) Howdy, folks!

To Speak Here Editor Herald: I am pleased to notice the timely time-ly rebuke given to a Provo civic club by Mayor Harmon W. Peery of Ogden. Who would go anywhere any-where anytime, to hear candidates for governor talk on subjects other oth-er than politics? The rank and file are anxious to search out the inermost thoughts of these men regarding their ideas of government. The toilers of Utah are seeking earn estly information aMceniinjtiie policies of men tgho offer them-' selves aa pilots of the ship of atate. ' ' The workers for .municipal pow ; er and. light plant of Provo quite well understand the position of the civic clubs about that question, also Messrs Blood, Dilxnan and Romney. Thusly it is refreshing . to know there is one gubernatorial candidate in our sister city on the north who stands shoulder to shoulder with us in our fight While Messrs. Blood, Dilma. and Romney pussyfoot with the clubs, let's invite Mayor Peery to speak at the Provo high school on municipal power and light or any other subject he cares to discuss. If the finger of fate has pointed him out as our future governor, let's get acquainted. GEO. S. YOUNG. Of the 2000 known kinds of bacteria and germs, only about 100 are believed to be harmful.

"Why did I come to Africa?" He mused a while, then said: "Well, they will tell you that I came on account of my health, or from love of adventure and to some extent that may be true, but the reil truth is that I no longer could stand their eternal cold EnglisTi mutton."
