Soldiers, Not Conquests Count On tentorial Day One need not be a militarist to feel that Memorial day is one of the most deeply insignificant of all our holidays. For Memorial day, although it calls in review all of our wars and brings up again the record of our armies, is no glorification of war and the spirit of war. It does not bring with it a cleebration of "glorious victories," or seek to build up a spirit of martial patriotism. Rather it is a day devoted to the soldier the citizen soldier who has fought all of America's wars. Its flags are half-masted and its drums are muffled. Fundamentally, it is simply an expression of the nation's regret that so many men had to be killed. It is very easy to forget what that word "soldier" means, as we use it in this, country. The word does not carry the connotations it carries in otherTands. It does not call up any picture of drilled automatons, auto-matons, of a proud officer caste, of a cult of glory, or of dauntless professional soldiers going out to proye their mettle. met-tle. For those things are absent from our military tradition. -Intheir place we simply have the ordinary citizen a young mafrom the farm, the shop, the school or the office, going off to a training camp because his country has asked him toicoping in inexpert fashion with the intricacies of military drill,; getting herded at last to the battlefield and there doing his level best to give a decent account of himself. . -And to.day, when we celebrate the American soldier's record, we are not concerned with the great deeds he did and the great victories he won; it is the fact that he went where his country asked him to go, and suffered what his country's need required him to suffer, that is important. Today brings no pride of conquest except for our pride in this soldier's eternal conquest of himself, his ability to beat down fear and the thought of self and go out to pay the final price on the field "of -battle. ! . "We can hate war, late its trumped-up glory and its eternal eter-nal cruelty and injustice, and still give ourselves wholeheartedly wholeheart-edly to observance of this holiday which was born of many wars. Indeed, a true observance of the day would make us hate war all the more ; for it is the sacrifice that we celebrate today, the loss of all the thousands of young men who were called on to die in order that their country might live. Some day people will be intelligent enough to conduct their affairs so that wars are not necessary. Can we give any thought to the innumerable graves that are to be decorated decor-ated today without praying that that day may come quickly? Congratulations, Provo Police Pistol Team Provo police officers brought new honors "to their city Friday when their pistol team, competing against the Salt Lake City team, state highway patrolmen, and others, carried car-ried off the honoFs of the day, including a handsome silver cup, emblematic of the state police pistol shooting championship. champion-ship. Shooting on the winning Provo team were Earl Finlay-son, Finlay-son, E. T. O'Brien, Oscar E. Pedersen, Arnel Milner and Wesley Wes-ley Robey. They nosed out the Salt Lake City police team, their closest rivals, by one point, 471 to 470. A feature of the match was Finlayson's perfect 100 score and another 99. "The Herald takes this opportunity to congratulate Chief Henry A. East and the members of the pistol team on their well-deserved victory. They are to be highly complimented for the diligent practice work they have engaged in which is responsible for their excellent showing., Underworld characters who read . the news of the day, ought to take a tip from this and give Provo a wide berth from here on out.

'Not alone are fallen soldiers of our country remembered and honored on that dayr but hearts of thet living are turned in loving memory? and appreciation ap-preciation to all the vast hordes who have lived their lives and passed on, leaving us their gifts of progress. And particularly do the tender offices of the 'day give expression to memory of our own departed loved ones. But we seldom sel-dom think of thec;;1oeginning of the day. k-t It was set apart first by custom and later by statute for the purpose pur-pose of honoring the memory of the soldiers who fought in the Civil war. It originated with the Southern .States: The people of that to them, lost lost cause, began be-gan strewing the graves of those who had fought in the war. Gradually Grad-ually a few states in the North adopted the custom. It Was not until May, 1868, that the day was officially observed. Then Gen. John A. Logan, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, Issued an order, appoint ing May 30 of that year for Grand Army services in which strewing flowers on the graves ot the ip lien soldiers was to be a chief part. That particular date was probably chosen because it was the date of discharge of the last Union volunteer of the war. The states which observe the day have adopted it singly, there be ing no national law on the sub ject. Such days are significant not because they help the dead heroes, or honor the founders of a nation, or even that they make happier living mothers, but chiefly because be-cause they take the observers of the days out of themselves and the little every-day ruts in which they habitually live and make them think of others and of the pifts of others to them. Thus they identify themselves with something bigger than self and through those experiences grow in spirit. Observation of Memorial Day this year jshoujd, intensify the feeling feel-ing "of this nation aeainst war and its waste and futility and make each of us resolve to lend our thought and influence to the receding re-ceding ideal of World Peace. The following lines written by one of Utah's finest poets, Grace Ingles Frost, expresses the feelings, feel-ings, I am sure, of all mothers about war. THE MOTHERS PLEAD "Before you call our sons again To rank in files of fighting men. Do not forget their mothers. Before you sound the drum of strife, Think of those who gave men life. Statesmen harken to our cry Do not doom our sons to die! Nor mark them with the ruthless stamp Of some alien prison camp, Or dungeon where the days seem years. We mothers plead, demand with tears, That never men shall war drums beat To call to arms, except to meet And stay a foe's invading feet."

But come to think of it, steam shovels aren't as numerous or as busy as they used to tie, are they? Politics Poli-tics probably.

It was like a master carpenter car-penter driving nails thru a dish of water, except, of course,- it was on a grand scale.

For example, there flnriPA in th Wirald state. xnent of the Mayor that "A little competition will do more than a world of artificial regulation to put the electrical industry on a sound basis." And yet the Mayor seems to feel that he cannot make a go of the city plan unless he has a monopoly on the light and power business, as shown by hia statement before the city com- mission on May 16th. On that occasion ne stated "We win guarantee to stop the Utah Power and Light Company from oper ating in Provo when the franchise expires in January, 1940, thereby insuring a monopoly for Provo City." If the Mayor can operate the city plant at the low rates he says he can, surely he ought not to be afraid of a little com petition. Then, again, the Mayor s state ment about stopping the Utah Power Co. from operating in Provo, sounds ' a bit Hitlerish to me.' The Mayor should know that we are living in a democracy. where the people have the last say by initiative and referendum. The mayor also stated that he would guarantee that the city rate will not be higher than the state rate for the power com pany, And . yet I read in one of those initative power ordinances that contained the proposed con tract with Nuveen that if the city does not levy high enough rates tft tn. l7,Uintr fnnf1 intprMt and otnr costs then the bond-holders could require the ap- M authorized to eharire t hig.h enouh to make the navments reanired bv the ordin aI& r - - ance.
