Show PAGE TWO. THE PRE83-BULLETI- N EDITORIALS f (By C. D. McNeeley) OVER THE TOP . WOMEN SEEK COMMISSIONS That fighting spirit so characteristic of Americans is just as pronounced among women as men. American women are aiding the United States and its allies ir numberless ways so that the conquest of the Central Powers may be complete and they will cheerfully give further assistance h. ' this fight for democracy and world freedom if they are permitted. This remark is made advisedly because Annie Oakley (Mrs, Trank E. Butler) and Mrs. L. G. Vogel, two of the most expert . --shooters of the so-call- ed weaker sex, have offered their services to the war department as instructors of the shooting art. , If the-secretar- of war doesn't see fit to secure her services, for which she asks no compensation, Miss Oakley is eager to visit the many cantonments and give exhibitions of her prowess with the rifle and shotgun and in this way show the recurits the best ; .methods of getting quick results. Miss Oakley is quite enthusiastic, too, about the formation of a, regiment of women for home defense purpose. Publication of this expression of thought brought her more than 1000 letters from women who are anxious to join such a regiment. Miss Oakley ' .gave instruction in shooting to more than 5000 women during the 1916-191- 7 seasons at Portsmouth, N. H., and Pinehurst, N. C, ; - ' where she conducted schools. Mrs. Vogel resides in Detroit and for years has been consid-- - ered the best amateur target breaker of the fair Dianas. She would like to secure an appointment as an instructor of shooting at an army cantonment or at an aviation school.

In these days when war taxes and high cost of everything are affecting an of us. there's a special reason for being particular about the quality you get. There's more economy H in buying right than in buying cheap. U Sol lays & COo New Spring Styles Are Mere f SAFETY FIRST MILITARISTS Investigation has brought out the fact that a great number of men in this country aspiring for military honors have been carefully playing their hands to draw places of safety in connec-tion with the war. .These are men who for some reason have a "pull" with the powers that be, and they have used this to draw positions where burning powder and whirring shells would not . molest their sorry nerves. t These are the men who desired all the . arlory of the war, but wanted to make sure that they would be ... stationed in the safety zone. They should be smoked out and .placed in the front ranks. No man is entitled to the honors of the war who is not will-ing to face the bullets and die, if need be, for his country. The physical coward is not entitled to hold an honorary position in the army or navy. Men who are entrusted with these positions should be real men, and in order to be real men they must possess physi-cal courage and stand ready to face any danger or hardship- - that at private soldier might have to face. . It is to be hoped that the investigation now under way will bring to light those who have worked their way into soft places - and that they will be assigned to proper positions. "THIRD LIBERTY LOAN MUST BE r SUCCESS," SAYS HEBER J. GRANT TO LOYAL AMERICANS OF UTAH: Evary red-blood- ed American wants to win the war. That is em aim and our life at this time. This cannot be done without and the money, only source from which the Government can obtain money is from the people which it protects. It will undoubtedly be mon difficult for the people of this state to subscribe to the Third Loar than it has been in the former two, but it is a duty that must be per formed. Utah's allotment must be raised. The Government mus have money to prosecute the war. There is no American who can consistently fail to answer this call After all, subscribing for first class Government securities is asking but little compared with Uk sacrifice of those who go to the trenches. Your boy and your friend's boy who go off to the front can earn at least $65.00 per month at home. They are paid only $30.0C a month by the Government so they are really losing $35.00 a montli financially. The man who subscribes $21,000.00 worth of Bondi loses $420.00 interest while the boy loses $420.00 per year, so thai the man who subscribes $21,000.00 worth of Bonds is doing no mow financially than the boy who goes away to fight, and besides thii boy offers his Jfe. It will be expected that every American subscribes his hones! proportion of the Third Loan, and those who have money and do nol .support the Government will find that there will be other ways to make them do their duty. The Third Loan must be a success, and whue it may be the first financial test of the American people, the 1,?L,!f, "Y Government looks to every man, woman and child fa Utah to do their duty. Marty workers will be needed in this Loan and we ask that you confer with your County Chairman as soon as possible, offering your assistance. . . Very respectfully, ' ' " HEBER J. GRANT, Chairman. ALL ARE SOLDIERS In one of our Indian wars a newspaper correspondent was ent to the front to write on actual conditions thei-e-. As he ap--- proached the position where the troops were located, he saw some men cutting down trees and loading the wood on wagons. He rode up to make some inquiries and was astonished to find that v dhey were soldiers. He saw other men off to hts left running a ' xnower and cutting hay! Without asking any question he rode ' "over to them and learned that they also were soldiers in uniform. He finally asked a man who was cocking hay where the "real sol-dier- s" were. The reply was: "We are real soldiers doing work .that is absolutely necessary to win this war. The cavalry horses r". must have hay and the soldiers be kept from freezing the coming v minter or the war is lost." ' That is very much the condition of the United States today. "The whole people, men. women, hoys and girls, are real soldiers. They are engaged at war work which is just as necessary as firing rifles and big guns af the front. A weary woman who is doing all her own work that she might save money to buy war stamps sat down exhausted at the end of a day. She was a soldier the same as the weary man wading in the mud in trenches and endur-ing hardships unjil it seems that human nature could endure no ' more. The people of the United States are all soldiers and they .have enlisted, not for any specified time, but until the war is over. SHALL WE SEE IT THROUGH OR QUIT?

This country has been good to thera,;, Ui they have lived In peace and have Wn provided by the Federal Loan' Bureau with cheap money with which to pursue the arts of peace. Any, economies they can practice at this time will give them additional money with which to lend finaucial aid to the Government in its great war for rlght-eousne- ss and fair dealing. Kvery dollar loaned to the Govern-ment Ib a practical protest against the ;lans of a greedy, unscrupulous, soul-less power Intent on world conquest, and every dollar thus advanced serves to shorten the period of war and bring nearer the day of, universal and ndiiring peace. ' MAKING THE IDLE WORK Several states have enacted laws with the purpose of making ; the idle work and now Nebraska has joined with a rather drastic ; provision in the new sedition act. The states have all found great difficulties in enforcing such laws, although it is said in one or two states they had an immediate effect, many of the idle seeking work as soon as the laws were enacted without waiting for any . wore on the part of the government. The Nebraska law applies in the case of men w ho "being physically able to work and not en-gaged in any useful occupation, refuse employment or remain! " habitually idle when useful employment is obtainable." The pen-alty for violating the act is improsinment and a fine. How much influence such an act will have on rne chronic idle experience alone will prove, but the dispatches announce that the president is about to take action that will start these idlers to liunting jobs. It is said the gamblers, bookmakers, pool room babitues, the street corner loafers and the idle rich will all be put into the first class at the next draft and they will be gathered into the army where they will find constant work until the war --? doses. If that plan is put into operation it will have more effect ; than any of the state laws, and the press comments indicate that --it will be universally approved. .
