M Lund, father of the editor, was bom in Seest, pr Kolding, Denmark. He was baptized by H. P. Iverson- - By this act he lost the opportunity for a college education, promised by the minister. So he educated himself. He came to America at the age of 22. The first solitary place he came to he knelt down and thanked God that he had been privileged to come to a land of freedom. He settled in Mt. Pleas-ant and resided there until his death. May 7, 1921, in his 76th year. He was twice married and the father of 1 3 children. His posterity now num bers 40 grand children, 45 great grand children and one great great grand child. The following positions held and filled give a good idea of his religious and civic activities. But to know him one should have had contact with his great soul, his highly developed spirit' his character, his faith, his knowledge and wisdom. May I, his eldest son, not knowing what the year may bring, be pardoned tor saying, without qual-ifications, he was the best and greatest and manliest man I have ever known. I saw more of Godliness in him than in any other human being of my 1 wish he might hear this. He was bishop of Mt. Pleasant ward for 2 years. President North Sanpete Stake 1 4 years, the firts. Patriarch nine years. Superintendent Coop Store Filled three missions, the one as president of the Scandinavian Mission. He served three successive terms as mayor, heading three tickets in one campaign. He was a member of the Territor-ial Constitutional Convention, 1K62. He was twice a member of the ter-ritorial legislature, once in the House. 890, and once in the Senate, 894, He served on the local and district school boards for 36 years. Was on the board of the Snow College, and was asked to become the president but he declined, and recommended that it be tendered Apostle Anthon H Lund. He was appointed U. S. Commis sioner for Sanpete County. He traveled quite extensively in eight foreigu countries. H wa a fluent, often eloauent speaker, and one of the best funeral orators in the the state, "A man he was, to all who knew him dear." What a blessed memory! Editor. Ray Lund, youngest son of the late James A. Lund and Julia C. Lund, went away this week for service in the navy Neighbor C. B. Linschoten comes on the dot every year and does his full duty. Both he and his wife like and enjoy the paper. On January 24th he will be 74 and is hale and hearty, and should reach 90. Neighbor N. P. Sorenson, a good, kind, humble soul, always comes in at about New Years to see to it that our feet may be keMt dry, warm and com-fortable. He is quite a philos opherand has some good ideas. Tl ere is a host of hon-s-people in St. George and good Neighbor U. Jarvis Jr is one of t he most honest among them. He has been with us a long time and we wish to keep him. We Must Do It "We must build a society in which all men's welfare is the concern of all other men, realizing that only in such a world can we ever hope to write in the histories to come these momentous worse: "The Last War." Let us then resolve that those who die shall not die in vain, and start together to build the foundations of a new world society, which shall be based on the principles of brotherhood and equality, and we shall find as it rises to completion that the dove of peace will build its nest upon the roof tree." .i in ait Subscriber Makes Observations Wants the People to Think A recent editorial, in one of our leading papers vehemently denounced the conditions in the labor unions and the govern-ment which-necessitat- the shipment of coal from West Vir-ginia to Utah, gives ground for much discussion All will agree that such a condition as the above is a reflection on the intel-ligence of the people of this nation. Does the cause for such a condition rest upon the shoulders of John L. Lew is, labor, or the present administration? It seems the cause goes back beyond the time of President Ro.-wel- t, to the presidents and congressmen who allowed private industry, oureconomic royal-ists, if you please, to grind labor under its feet for generations denying them the common rights of human beings, say nothing of the'r constitutional rights, are the ones responsible for the present chaotic condition of labor Labor has been groud down, criminalized, lied about, de-nied a voice in congress, the press, the cousts rnd any other avenue through which it may have tried to get justice until it got justice in our day. Go into the Industrial Spy Racket, trouble labor has had with the police of certain cities, court injunctions, and news paperarticles and you will find that labor has never enjoyed the common rights guaranteed men by the constitution. Now that labor has been given a chance to secure iis con-stitutional rights, granted it by a humane administration at Washington, it is no doubt somewhat off balance and acting unwisely in some cases In no wise so criminally as industry has acted against labor, and industry did so under the guise of law , Is it any more unwise to ship coal from Virginia to. Utah than to ship the millions of tons of iron nnd steel we use from Pittsburg orBirmingham, paying the freight charges and losing the labor that rightfully belongs to Utahns, were a properly adjusted economic system evolved? We have the iron, the coal and every lacility for making this steel, yet we are denied consideration. "Oh," say the pseudo economists, "we haven't the mills for smelting," etc Neither did we have the coal un-ti- ll the mines were developed. Another question : How about keeping the price of sugar 300 per cent above what it should be just to keep New York sugar interests in extra spending money? Subscriber. St Geo Signs Point That Way A noted man predicted in 1940 as follows: "I see labor troubles in the "U S. such a time of trouble as the world has never seen " All signs point to just such a time and it is not far distant. We believe that the present congress, instead of saving America, as some assert, will greatly add to the confus ion and commotion. There are a number of members, new and old, who would strip labor of all its gains, who would sa-botage the wail effort, who would destroy the administration. When they begin this then the time of the trouble predicted will be at hand. Utah's Bonded Debt The bonded debt of the state of Utah is comparatively small, $1,695 000. The county bonded debt in the 14 count-ies that ha"e debt, is only $805 000. The total debt of the state's school districts $9,055,990. The municipal debt that of all the cities and towns, amounts to $16 974,755 a total of $28,530,742 Let no legislature dare to increase this during war time, s Mystery Gun Given Test in Los Angeles ' I I iimiin n in a'' aVr 4V- I'M rilh" j'"" fciiM tHiM Jl utiiian 'fai s' One of America's newest weapons, an automatic.' pneumatic gun, capable.

The evolutionary law of the survival of the fittest is eliminat-ing much of the dross of civilization. But Dot until enough citizens in all countries realize that destiny depends on the mass intelligence and sincerity will we see light ahead. So long as stupid complacency is the rule instead of awakened social conscience, we will continue to be victims of the putting into office reactionaries with complete incapacity to imagine any other world than that into which they were born and which has given them special privilege. Illustrative of this contention is the case of Sir Samuel Hoare as revealed in his amazing book, "The Fourth Seal ' published in 1930. His complete admission of total incompe-tence to keep-ir- p with the affairs of the world, even whtm act-- , ing in so many high offices, such as Secretary for India, air minister, foreign secretary, first lord of the admirality. home "secretary and lord privy seal; and, to make the absurdity com-plete, finally installed as spokesman for democracy in Madrid: proves my point exactly. In his own words Hoare admits ' The war found me unprepared and unequipped for its opera-tions. For 10 years I had been engrossed in domestic politics sleepily hearing the debates, etc. etc. But God also moves in mysterious ways. Vincent C. Vick-er- s, for 22 years director in the greatVickers Limited, of Lon-don, and 10 years inside governor of the Bank of England, has finally given to the world in his "Economic Tribulation," an inside story of the diabolical methods and abuse of power of the great financial octopus with its tentacles in all the world Vickers lays the cause of all modern wars on tlieir door step. Monetary reformers take courage. Our day is at hand. Geo. A.

To speed things up he has donned roller skates, which enable him to cover twice as much ground around the office as ordinarily. Celebrat-ions of every kind will be held throughout the country between January 15 and 30, when the President's birthday climaxes the campaign. A Word on Capitalism The parasitical aspect of capitalism is the highly efficient and glorified modern economic system by which a powerfully organized small group give the struggling farmer about a dol- - lar for a bushel of wheat and sells the same bushel to the con-sumers toilers, widows and orphaus and others for about twelve dollars a bushel in the form of fluffy loaves of bread, to the great rejoicing of the honored exploiters. Veritis I If we read the papers rightly the Utah Tax Commission kA collects $17,000,000 a year; the county officials collect I; $8,000,000 and the city about $4,500,000. This is a total of $29,500,000 a year to keep the books and do the business of the state, county and the largest city. It is altogether too much. We honestly believe that it could be done for half the cost. Efforts should be made to reduce it. A great writer has said: "The present war is the punish-ment for the moral dullness of the world. Civilization has lost God which has made human nature beastial, and made man a wolf to his fellows." He speaks the truth. Commercial exploi-tation of man by man, with its attendant poverty and distress has driven the Lord out ri the setup.

South Jleweiry, Watch, Kodak Repairing 40 Years In Salt Lake City, I i -- m' We Believe In Peace, But.... Our natural inclination is to write about peace, and on that subject we would be at our best But we are firmly con-vinced that there can be no peace worthy the name under pre-sent conditions. If two or three insane men with a mania to kill and rape and destroy were at large in your neighborhood you would not rest or feel secure until they had been put in their place. And that condition applies to the woild. We believe in the scriptures where they say that peace has been taken from the earth, and that is because of the mo-ral and spiritual lapses of mankind. Whole na ions of people practically ah nations, have lost the spirit that makes for peace and that spirit cunnot be restored until they come to the faith and works that make for good will and peace. Peace and free-dom are two of the sweetest and most dynamic words in the language. And the meaning and vision of these two words began to stir men when they were given voice, such as they have never been given voice before or since, by the ancient prophets. They gave the world its vision of peace and free-dom but they also have given the vision of this war, and have told us that "men shall cry peace, peace but there will be no peace,' until human life is shaped as they said it should bet and takes unto itself the doctrines of the Stranger of Galilee. Few appear o believe tliat the peace has long since been blue-printed and men's plans ust eonfortn or fail. Doughboys Palsy Walsy With Algerians V.

God bless them every one. Juvenile Delinquency Many leading minds are troubled because of the youthful delinquince in the land. The si (nation is becoming dosperate and in some places agencies are hardly able to cope with the situation. There are n any causes. Some give one cause and s.iine ivii another. There is one cause that stands out. in our minds and that is, lack of. attention and in-struction and comradeship on the part of fathers. After the notorious John Dillinger ha been shot down in the path ol bis many crimes, his sorrowing faiher remarked: "I was too busy at the store to look after, Johnny." "Too busy!" Yes, that's the trouble in tliis competitive world where greed and lust are rampant Men must get those dollars no matter what the cost. How happy and even blessed is the state of the home where the father is able to employ h i 3 boys, be with them in companionship and comradeship. Of course, the mothers try to do their part, and oftentimesdo most of the work in leading sons arid daughters in the paths of rectitude. |
