disputed This was the solution of the matter advised by the before the controversy ' was fanned into a consuming flame that the board let the people of Salt Lake decide whether they were willing to be taxed for the improvements proposed rather than exercise a questionable prerogative to add a heavy load to the tax burden The county assessor is able to argue his own ease whether or not he is an obstructionist by opposing the board in its attempted levy But one jhase of his responsibility is a matter over which he has no control that his bondsmen could be held liable for any official act the courts may not sustain Were he to execute the levy there would he nothing to hinder any interested taxpayer going into court for redress which would have the same effect of tieing up the school funds pending the ' final decree Either way if the budget is attacked no funds will be available for conducting the schools and thig would work a hardship to teachers and pupils alike to say nothing of the demoralizing effect of having the whole school system in an uproar with a train of doubts and uncertainties If the school board would speedily extricate itself from this unfortunate tangle it should rescind its action and proceed in a more logical way with its fiscal affairs THURSDAY MAY 3 11T A musemen ts SALT LAKE an at 815 and Orpheum— Vaudeville ' r 816 p m ' Wilkes —Edward Sheldon’s powerful

of Salt Lake this PASSING up and down thesmall in numbers hut star-spangl- ed m irs Push On With Preparedness r i I ' - ' PATIIY at the beginning of the war came near being the undoing of England Had not the colonies nished quickly to the rescue the war historians might have a different story to tell today It is now a month since war was declared and the most noticeable fact concerning it is that the genera public does not yet realize the magnitude nor the responsibil i ties of the task the United States has undertaken This indifference if it may be so denominated seems more immobile in the east where the demand for instant and vigorous war was roost persistent and insistent than in the west which had large and emphatic demonstrations a year ago for preparedness — and meant them as evi--‘ denced by the fact that the west has the more readily re- sanded to the call for fighting men Whether or not the country was lulled into a false sense of security by the campaign cry last fall that the nation had kept out of war the supreme fact of the hour is that now the nation IS AT WAR The signal lesson we have learned 'is that the nation last year was not prepared for war which compels the present rushto get ready for active warfare as expeditiously as possible With the commanders of Prance urging that an army he sent to the front from the United States' solely for its psychological effect” we are made to realize that wetoarea not prepared to send an expeditionary force trained against the proper degree of efficiency without militating The general training of the war army being recruited line to the to said is firing troops staff oppose sending and trained and raised been has war the before array of full the sending significance humanity is staggered by an inefficient force as a concession to psychology It would be considered barbarous to throw green men into action if we were fighting at home regard for hu-- ’ man life and national honor argue for sending none but men of the highest military efficiency into the trenches of Eurojean battlefields which justifies the President in making France no more definite promise at present than that a contingent fop moral effect shall be sent “as soon as possible With the season almost past for spring planting food mobilization plans proceed as deliberately as though there were yet plenty of time The garden movement is not being taken up by individuals with that degree of energy which would indicate that the people generally realize the ponderous truth that the nation is at war with the most powerful military machine of Europe Although the federal food commission was impressed as long ago as early last December with the advisability of investigating the cost of living it deferred action exleft in pecting an appropriation by Congress which was in session the of at regular adjournment suspension work at the Xow with March agricultural department bn production collection distribution and conservation plans this commission lias just begun the work it could have started and finished last December These are only some instances which illustrate the dire necessity on tlie part of the people to arouse themselves to the fact that WE ARE AT WAR and to give their utmost enersries to prepare for eventualities the gravity of which it is not possible now to foretell Those who reason to themselves that the war will he over in sixty days or sixty weeks may be bitterly undeceived when it is too late Any peace proposal Germany or licr confederates may make may he discounted in advance It is less likely that terms emanating from that eource will he more acceptable than were the insincere proposals of last November It is our lack of preparedness due in part to the quiescent frame of mind that we were kept out of war which should stir the people into the greatest effort possible to ward against unpreparedness for next fall and winter now that we have gone into the war with all the resources of the countxy pledged to its proseention to a successful peace flQ 1E7 patriprocessions otic in spirit have had a stimulating effect on recruiting as shown by the enlistments for service in army and navy These parades though small are momentous in their import for they are engaged in as serious business as when the fife and drum called patriots to muster in the Con' tinental army One of the groups appearing in these parades young men attired in Continentals and made up to typify characters in the famous painting which now goes by the title “The Spirit of ’76” has been particularly' effective It is about this famous painting the original of which was called “ Yankee Doodle” we would add a few words of eomment because of its historic value A M Willard worked in a carnage shop in an Ohio village when he gained some local reputation for 1 drawing pictures” which led in time to his opening a studio in Cleveland He served in the Civil war from which he acquired the military spirit that animates several of his noted paintings Mr Willard began sketches for “ Yankee Doodle1’ with intent to make it a comic' picture and his father was posed for the drummer but the father s subsequent illness gave him inspiration for the patriotic picture which was exhibited at the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia and attracted so much attention that after the exposition it was exhibited in Boston where the title was changed by adding as a sub-titl- e the inscription by which the painting is now best known For the central group a Civil war veteran named Hugh Mosher posed as the fifer the drummer boy was posed by a lad named Harry Devereox son of Gen John Deverenx of Cleveland present owner of the original and for the drummer Mr Willard limned the features of his father from memory A M Willard the artist who painted “The Spirit of' ’76” still lives at Cleveland O and is past eighty years old His masterpiece hangs in Abbott hall Mar blehead Mass the birthplace of General Devereux It’s spirit goes marching on like the soul of Old John Brown but the painting itself should hang in the Congressional library or the national capitol at Washington Our donbts are traitors and
