Telephone 365 Editorial VANDALISM IN TIIE CITY CEMETERY Reports have been made to the police during the past week of the theft of flowers and potted plants from the graves in the city cemetery. Thefts of a similar nature have been reported from homes and parks, and occasionally thieves have stolen flow ers from the graves, but it is very rarely the thief is so low as to rob the graves of bushes and plants that the living have planted then as tokens of respect to the memory of their loved ones.. Those that steal the flowers and plants .dedicated to the dead would not hesitate to go even farther beneath the soil and remove the shroud that rovers the body. It may not be long before the vandals an brought to justice, and it seems that the old forms of punishment for the crimes of this natun should be inflicted. The criminal would be placed upon public exhibition in the stocks or pillories, and the public would be given an opportunity to see the class of human that would not hesitate to rob the dead to satisfy a desire or some vaniy. SEES TIIE PASSING OF TIIE BATTLESHIP IN WARS The battleship must not be counted at all in the future wars, as it will be replaced by the submarine and the airplane. This is the view of Rear Adminl William S. Sims in an interview in the New York Times. The passing of the battleship is noted by the American naval authority in the following language: "The battleship was once the backbone of the fleet; it is no longer. The submarine and the airplane have put an end to its reign; they have clipped the wings of sea power. In another war the best thing to do with our battleships would be to send them as far as possible up the , Mississippi river, out of harms way, and send out submarines and aircraft to do our fighting. The undersea craft and the aerial fleet would make a naval blockade imft guns on a rollpossible. ineffective be would against ing ship airplanes. As to the submarine there is no answer to it. In a few words Admiral Sims has put the real warfare problem before the American people. What he states is true. The last war demonstrated that. The submarine warfare, of the Germans resulted in American's endetry into the World war. Greatwere struction of lives and property caused by the airplane and Zeppelins over English towns and Allies' lines. The warq of the future will be fantastic to an almost inconceivable extent when an airplane fleet swoops down upon the battleship blockade with their destructive bombs like the attack of a flock of blackbirds upon a hawk. Then the wonderful and effective assistance of the submarine. two countries are going to make an appeal to the people of the country to help conserve the great resources of the country the forests. This appeal goes forth to each man, woman and child, who can do their part in helping to prevent fires which destroy the forest. Proclamations have been issued by the president and the governor setting aside next week as the forest week. The president proclaimed the 1927 American Forest week "in the' belief that no other of our internal problems is of greater moment that the rehabilitation of our forests, now so hopefully begun, but needing the strong support of our collective will and inHe emphasized the imtelligence. portance of farm forestry as a means for lessening agricultural surpluses and meeting the problem of agricultural overproduction, and the resulting depression in the farming industry. Regarding the part forestry might play in farm relief, the president said: "One-fourt-h of our soil is better suited to 'timber-growin- g than anything else. I can not escape the conviction that our industrial and agricultural stability will be strengthened by bringing into full productive use this great empire of land. Although much progress haa been made in public foreatry and hopeful beginnings in private forestry, we still have a vast forest aggregate of idle or semi-idl- e land, and another large aggregate of poor farm land that might more profitably grow timber instead of adding to the problem of agricultural overproduction. Agriculture would find in timber growing a strong ally, the president said, providing markets for farm produce and for surplus labor. IMPROVEMENT ON WASHINGTON AVENUE STEP FORWARD Half of. the property owners on Washington avenue have signed the petition for the improvements upon that street, according to the petition presented to the board of city commissioners on Monday. The improvements will mean the remaking of Ogden's main street. The unsightly sandstone blocks will be removed from the center of the street and at the curbs: the center of the street will be raised, and the entire street resur-faceThe lighting ayatem will be changed, and the light wires buried n conduits. These improvements, which are expected to be completed at an early date, will be one of the best advertisements for Ogden with the traveling public. d. V " ' ' '. - ' -- MOTORCYCLISTS NEED AS MUCH ATTENTION AS AUTOISTS One of the greatest menaces to the public in the matter At traffic problems is the motorcycle. While the public departments traffic squad is making its drive against the drivers of automobiles, who park wrong or exceed the speed limits, they should not overlook the motorcyclist. For the past few days motorcyclists have been appearing on the streets with increasing numbers. Each evening two or three motorcyclists use Washington avenue for a erasing or racing course. In the heart of the city every night near the time for the theatres to be closing and the streets crowded with pedestrains, these motorcyclists, with the cutouts open, are racing up and down the street. On north Washington avenue, each night, motorcycles race with the cutouts open. The noise of the motors cause the pedestrain U stop and look in the sky for an airplane. . The motorcyclists, unless immediately curbed, will become a serious menace (o life and limb. The law that applies to cutouts fer the automobile applies to the motorcycle, which ' is as dargerous as the automobile when operated without regard to the laws of humanity.' v . , . . , ' ' i Mrs. Reed takes Dorothy Biervee, Ruth Roberts, Fay Me Fall, Blanche Shaw, Dorothy Crawouncing the return ford, Edriz Jesperson, Beperly Wood, pupil, Ruth Fisher, in a solo number in Betty Seaton and Monlcia Wood. : . .. 1 .
