The request made at the recent city council meeting for an okeh for such a store has already started off the barrage of arguments. Without, at this juncture, entering into the argument, argu-ment, we'd merely like to suggest that the truth of the problem be not hidden, and we point to a certain James. N. Lawrence, who in 1886 opened a saloon in Boise, Idaho. In opening the saloon he was forthright enough to advertise in the Boise paper as follows: .The Nr.ked Truth Saloon A Ulessage from James N. Lawrence. Proprietor Friends and Neighbors : Having just opened a commodious com-modious shop for the sale of liquid fire, I embrace this opportunity cf informing you that I. have commenced the business of making: Drunkards, paupers, and beggars for the sober, industrious, and. respectable portion of the community to support. I shall deal in family spirits which will incite men to deeds of riot, robbery, and bloodshed, and by so doing diminish the comfort, augment aug-ment the expenses, and endanger the welfare of the community. , I will, on short notice, for a small sum and with great expectations, undertake to prepare victims for the' asylums, poor farms, prisons and gallows. I will furnish an article that will increase accidents,' multiply the number of distressing diseases, and render those who are harmless incurables. . I will deal in drugs which will deprive some oilife, many of reason, most of property, and all of their peace; which will cause fathers to become fiends, and wives widows, children to become orphans and all mendicants. I will cause many of the rising generation to grow up in ignorance and prove a burden and a nuisance to the nation. I will cause mothers to, forget their offspring, and cruelty to take the place of love. I will sometimes corrupt the' ministers of religion; defile the purity of the church, and cause temporary spiritual and eternal death ; and if any be so impertinent as to. ask me why I have the audacity .to bring such accumulated misery upon the people, my honest reply is, "Money." The spirit trade is lucrative and some professing pro-fessing Christians give their cheerful countenance. From the U. S. Government I have purchased the right to demolish the character, destroy the health and shorten the lives and ruin the souls of those who choose to honor me with their custom. I pledge myself to do all that I have promised. Those who wish any of the evils before specified brought upon themselves or their dear friends are requested to meet me at my, bar where I will for a few cents furnish them with the certain means of doing so. WANT A It is reported that imported labor, including Mexican nationals, Indians and others, earned more than $180,000 in Utah county last year during the harvest season. Most of that amount left the county with them, never to return. It is true that nothing is quite so important to the county's fruit crop as getting it picked when it is ripe, but we're thinking that with a little more planning and some cooperation, most of that $180,000 could be earned and profitably used by the county's junior and senior high school students. $180,000 is a handsome sum of money. The county's younger set can handle the job. Let's get the two together. NOTICE TO CREDITORS ESTATE OF PARLEY L. JACOBSEN, DECEASED.

Jrlusm Wage-Hour Fixing Thurman Sensing, who directs research re-search for the Southern States Industrial In-dustrial Council, Nashville, Tenn., is a man who speaks with wisdom. Sometime ago Mr. Sensing released comments on our wage and hour law, In which he predicted there would be continued agitation to fix minimum wages at high figures. I think it Is true, as Mr. Sensing suggests, sug-gests, that few people understand the implications of wag and hour fixing by the government Says Mr. Sensing: "The whole system sys-tem of democracy is directly opposed op-posed to any sort of planned economy. econ-omy. . . . Deny it though we may, the- fixing of wages by legislative action can be regarded as nothing noth-ing else than part and parcel of planned economy. If the government Is allowed to assume the power to fix minimum wages and maximum hours, there is nothing to keep the government from reversing this process and fixing maximum wages and minimum hours." With that, democracy flies completely out the window, Mr. Sensing declares. de-clares. Real Guarantee Everybody . he says, should have a living wage or more if he earns it. "But no one who believes in democracy will argue that a person per-son should have a certain wage whether he earns it or not. Productivity Produc-tivity comes first, not wages. The only real guarantee behind a wage in a democracy is the productivity of the person who receives the wage." These words are so logical and the reasoning so plain that I would like to continue with Mr. Sensing's comments.. Suppose an employer couldn't pay the minimum wages set up, and had to close down. There are two choices for the government; "either the business must be taken over . . , and workers paid without any reference to the earnings of the business; or the workers go on relief and are issued a dole at the expense of the general public." False Promises The first would be state socialism, which the people of America would never endorse willingly or knowingly. knowing-ly. "Socialism never has and never will bring the people a strong government gov-ernment and a high standard of living." liv-ing." Mr. Sensing cites state socialism social-ism in England: "Promising them greater production, it has brought decreased production; promising them a higher standard of living, it has brought them a lower standard stand-ard of living; promising them happiness, happi-ness, it has brought them misery." Whence Prosperity? The other alternative, says Mr. Sensing, would bring a great body of unemployed. "They are unemployed unem-ployed simply because the laws of the land have made it unprofitable for them to be employed. . . . They are living off the enterprise and productivity pro-ductivity of the rest of the people. Their incentive is dulled, their energy is stifled, their initiative is warped. They are drones in a free society."' When the drones are too numerous to be supported by the workers, Mr. Sensing continues, the government takes over and the society is no longer free. "If minimum wages fixed by the law are to make us prosperous, we might as well set the figure at one dollar per hour or two dollars per hour or five dollars per hour. ... In a democracy the requirement must always be that the individual shall earn his wage; whether it be ten cents per hour or ten dollars per hour; moreover, that it shall be fixed by free enterprise in a competitive competi-tive economy. Our whole history has shown this to be the road to prosperity." prosper-ity."

VINCENT GENERAL MANAGER Provo, Utah OOOI 3"0HJ WORD PORTRAITS By Major Clyde E. Weeks, Sr. Today I saw ... A STRING with a kite on one end and a boy on the other. It wasn't ordinary ordi-nary string, but was a long series ser-ies of little pieces of wrapping twine which the boy had gathered, gath-ered, and which he had fashioned fashion-ed into a whole by tieing them together with square knots such as he learned to make in the Boy Scouts, It was strong and dependable. He had also made the kite with a few sticks, a bit of paper and a little glue. He was in the process of building himself into a man. Arrival of Spring As the first March winds carried car-ried the kite aloft, It knew that spring had, arrived in Orem, Utah, U.S.A. As this youngster watched his kite soar in the heights with freedom, his mind wu.n lost ia contemplation of the vastness of space and I know that he gained a feeling of awe and respect for the Hand which guides our universe. As the kite kept darting hither hith-er and yon with the vagaries of the elements, with only the restraint re-straint of the string holding it to its purpose, I knew that this boy had an urge for that same sort of freedom. The only control con-trol the kite had to keep it from getting away from its owner w;s that single piece of string held in the boy's hand. It reminds re-minds one of youth as it strains and tugs at the tether of life. Spirit Aloft The spirit of that boy was aloft too. He .was dreaming and planning the future which he hopes to live and to build. When a boy flies a kite, it is time for day dreaming and meditation. He is held in wonderment at the length and breadth of space, his mind takes him in review of the past, he considers the present and contemplates the future. His mind likely carried him into far away lands and through great 24c; palmolive soap, 3 for 19c. Clarence Carroll and Ed. i-ew-is were confined to their homes with pnemonia.

Like the kite string, we must see to it that the tethers which bind our children to home and community com-munity are well made also. We must see to it that each piece that goes into its construction is tested for its tensile strength; that each unit of character is of the finest materials; that all de-sireable de-sireable elements are made a part of it and lastly that each knot is firmly tied in the approved ap-proved manner which is learned in church, in school, and in good associations, and that the whole is securely anchored in a home where love and security a-bounds. a-bounds.
