Still Land Of It was the same poet who sang with beautiful optimism: I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs, And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns. For the most part we have escaped' the extremes that afflict Europe. We are cursed neither with dreams of empire nor the nightmares of a civilization cast down into the dust. What ills afflict us promise to pass like a fitful fever and leave the body politic once more healthfully pulsatcurrent of ing with the Americanism. life-givin- Americans have much to be grateful for if they contrast their lot with that of the populations of suffering Europe. One year and more has flown since xrmistice day and yet the shedding of blood in war has not ceased in Europe or in the far reaches of Asia. In our. own land civilization has been shaken, but not one of fts pillars destroyed. Had not agitators, radicals and anarchists misled great numbers of our people we would even now be making rapid progress along the difficult ways of reconstruction with our prosperity unimpaired. But even amid the turmoil and the distress caused by violent spirits, by the blind and passionate who prefer their wild ways to reason, we have escaped the bitter trials of those in Europe. We shared sufficiently in their agony to know what war and civil broils may mean and we have not changed in our desires and hopes for peace. We can be thankful that the American people maintain allegiance to their ideals though nearly half the world be following the false gods of Bolshevism and quite a half is devoted to the old gods of imperialism, of territorial expansion and necessarily of war. We have not come to the day When the war drums throb no longer and the battleflags are furled In the parliament of man, the federation of the world.

Presents yv It is true that we stand at the crossroads, that we have come to the day of decision, but God rules and with faith in Him our people will not fail BAT to find a happy solution of problems Innl that now dismay and affright them. Bigger Visions Of Water Supply AyrONTHS ago we suggested that the people of Salt Lake must needs enlarge their vision if they would grasp comprehensively the problem of the citys future water supply. We are gratified to know that experts are beginning to tell the people the same thing. It was lack of vision among the city officials years ago that led to a piecemeal policy of dealing with the water This is the place, said problem. Brigham Young to his folowers, but too many of the men elected to office thought that it was to be a small place. It did not occur to them that one day it would be the largest city between the Missouri river and San route. Francisco on the And today some of us have difficulty in visualizing our city as a metropolis of 500,000, but we shall have that population perhaps before a generation has passed. mid-contine- nt The piecemeal policy has produced some imposing reservoirs among our beautiful mountains, but each year, despite the promises of city officials, we have water shortages and the people skimp along in a ridiculous fashion.

Requiring three cars for transportation. petty policy whisper delusively to us that there still are water rights here and there that can be picked up to meet the emergencies of a few years hence. At best they can serve tis for only a brief period and then we shall be compelled to do what we should have done years ago acquire vast water rights perhaps a hundred or more miles from the city. Once the Strawberry water sources were open to the city and some had the hardihood to suggest that the city should be possessed of them. The opportunity was neglected and the government reclamation service utilized these water sources to establish a great irrigation project. The people have before them that reminder of false economy. In making our plans for the future we should not be guilty of the same niggardliness. We are startled to hear that when e we really set out to finance an water supply which means a supply for at least 500,000 people we shall have to think of a bond issue of $12,000,000, or maybe $15,000,000. It is startling because it is flung at us all at once. Hitherto we have expended out millions in lots of a hundred thousand or so and we have not been compelled to gaze at big and blazing figures, but the millions have been slipping away nevertheless In a golden stream. ade-quat- The best way is to face the situation frankly, to study it and then to do confidently that which wisdom bids us do. v . |
