Peace must come by great souls who have the sentiment, the vision and the ideal. Unless a great heart and a high vision dominates the peace conference it, will fail. At the last peace conference there came Destiny's Man with the vision, the ideal, like unto Paul of old. But there came also the "ultra realists", the vengeful vultures, who beclouded the vis ion and, together with visionless senators.defeated men's hopesf Its not altogether what great men know that will count; its what great men feel in their hnarts for humanity that will count-- What the Master felt weighed more than all kowledge. Thf two strong men who have stood face to face astride the world on four occasions may have a lot to do with the peace. I ! PERSONAL. The morning of the resurec-tio- n is here and Dr. Fraucke of Vernal is the first man to come forth, For yers he was a good subscriber and then we receivad notice to stop the pa-per as the doctor was dead. That was a year ago. The oth-er day we recei ved an order to send the paper as he was very much alive and practising his profession. He had a close call. One of the ideal m in of this city is Neighbor L. E Elggren. He is almost perfectly balanced just right for practical alfairs and just right as an idealist, foursquare in hamanitarian-ism- , a good home, splendid in come, a fine family and a good citizen. He is strong, healthy and optimistic. Our good friend and Neigh bor R. M. Brandon of Boneta, called at the office Saturday and together we sat down ai d chatted for au hour about old times the good old times that are pleasant to recall. Dick is sound in politcs and conoomics Neighbor J. Everett Seely is one of the West's Charter So eialists., It was religion to him. He was a bosom friend of Gene Debbs,and he peronally bought and distributed thousands of papers and pamphlets. He was through some early campaigns and fights tim s when labor-ers were locked in box ears and shipped out and dnmped help-less on the deseret. Mr. Ever-ett is a man worth knowing He was with Unale Sam's postal service for thirty years. Mrs A. M Christopherson, good Friend and Neighbor, was in and did twice as well as many do. She reads and likes the paper. She is industrious hard working and thrifty and always has pleuty to do. Neigbor T. J. Rosser says that one of his sons is now somewhere in England and the other is semewhero in Africa. Neighbors Henry Seamon, his wife and daughter Kathryn like the paper and read it every week. He was in Monday and we had a long talk with him. He is a retired carpenter and builder. His daughter operates a fine beauty parlor. To Mr. and Mrs. Howe Lund a daughter, 8 2 lbs, Jan. 25. TRANSPORTATION G. W. Gurran wonders if the people have to surrender their rights to the Traction company The idea of having to walk two blocks to make a transfer, and girls having lo stand and wait on corners which heretofore has been the play ground of loafers, crooks, sex perver.s, and saloon bums. The changes they make are all a lot of dam-foo- l nonsense, and yet the ones who order these changes have to be looked up to as the wisest men in the city in their own eyes perhaps. If only all the adverse talk could reach them Mnch good has come out of Ephraim, one ot the centers of gravity in Sanpete And con-siderable good came from there this week from Bishop and Mrs Leon rd Thomsen, two of the best people in the county.

Emil Markt, Professional Tailor at 128 East Broadway, is one of God's noblemen, and will be remembered by this paper as long as memory lasts. Go to him when you need any-thing in his line. 'Neighbor Roy Bundy from way down in Mt. Trumball, Ariz., sends greetings and re-mittance. We are a litfie puz-zled as to what he means about the United Order. We can tell him it is not capitalism.

LET US REASON TOGETHER Just suppose for a moment that Russia's congress had act-ed like our own does at times; that she tolerated writers like Westbrook Pegler and oth3rs, papers like Hearst's and the Chicago Tribune, and preachers like Winrod, they would have lost the war long ago and all I heir land would have been lost. m i Make the Dimes March Remember to get. in line in the March of Dimes Movement Send on your dimes and get ready to attend the President's Ball tonight so you can help in the drive on infantile paralysis- - AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMET On February 5 the state of Utah will take the life of a human being to avenge the crime of murder which he com-mitted. Like the governor, we do not believe in capital pun-ishment except in very rare cases, such as treason, for instan-ce. It seems to us that they are murdering enough men, wo men and children in the world today and the state should not have to lend a hand. We're against it because it is too hor-rible and brutalizing. If capital punishment would have cured any of the world's evils it would have banished all crime long ago. .... K .MI - C. V. Hansen's Philosophy Twenty-tw- o years ago, on Jan. 16, 1919, the eighteenth Amendment was adopted. Article 5 of the Constitution sti-pulates that the adoption of any amendment requires a two thirds majority of both bouses of Congress followed by ratif-ication by three-fourt- of the states. The 18th Amendment passed the Senate on Aug.l, 1917, by a vote of 65 to 20 It passed the House on Dec 17, by a vote of 282 to 128. It was amended in the House and repassed by the Senate on Dec. 18 1917. On Jan. 16, 1919, the 18th Amendment had been rati-fied by 46 of 48 states The total vote in the Senates of the 46 states was 1,309 for and 240 against 84 per a nt for prohi-bition. The total House vote of the 46 states was 3,775 for and 1.025 against-7- 9 per cent in favor of prohibition. Not- - withstanding a number contend that prohibition was a failure; we have the figures to show the opposite Things About Wai People Should Know He who was more than man, said: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. For there shall be great tribulation such as there never was since the beginning of the world, no, nor ever " shall be." Readers, that time is now, today. The old Book teems with evidence that this is the time of the end The years between 1914 and 1948 definitely mark the consumation of the Capitalistic Age All things are being turned upside down; on all sides there is commotion and confusion. The judgments are being poured out upon the economics, political and religious systems that are not in harmony with the higher law. Destiny is liquidating the old order with its wars, pover-ty, inequalities, injustice and misrule. Consequently war, in its most terrible form is poured out and will continue until the consumation is complete. Every step that has been taken in the African campaign is literally and strictly in harmony and in line with prophesy aad with Pyramid chronology. At present all signs point to a victory for the Allies within the year, but if this comes it will be but a lull, a truce, and the fires of war will burn again soon and that more fiercely. mm They Tote Their Own Groceries S.-- ' rJ, ,, i "'Hr. 1 i , i IS 1 jf?'".jt Mrs. Lewis B.

What I myself saw in my four years in Europe gave me a new realization of the priceless rights which we here enjoy. No secret police can in the night whisk us away, never again to be seen by those we love. None of us can be deprived by any party, state or tyrant of those pre-cious civil liberties which our laws and 0"- - courts gua Heroism In the War Talking about heroism let us say that there are heroic acts being performed on the present day battle fronts by the boys and men of the United Nations that will rank with anything in all past history. There is heroism that should fire the souls of men for all time heroism that will be texts for stu-dents and orators for a hundred years. Never has the patri-otic fighting spirit of human beings reached greater heights than they are reaching today on the far flung battle lines. One of the desires of our heart is to tell mankind just what this war means, all its aims and purposes, and what it is meant to acheive; how it is being fought for Him, who is everywhere present in its shadow?; how it is making the paths straight and preparing the way for Him. But alas, how few will listen and how few will believe. b "ifi ( rTtttttttttTttt'ttttttttttttt'ttt I tI You must cio to the 5 O.K. SHOE SHOP f 3 414 So.

The soldiers and sailors, marines and fighters' of the air, are united like one man and doing the best that it is possible for humans to do under the circumstance. What a Sad Srate If Nothing Beyond "Oh livps there, heaven, beneath thy broad expanse, One hopeless, dark idolator of chance?'1 If this poor lame-foot- ed race called life is all that we a e going to have, if death is really to be the end of every human being then life is robbed of Justice, Love, Mercy and Beauty, and theeternal plan of the universe would be vain and senseless If there is but one life time, what of the poor.struggling moth-ers w o have lost all, even their homes and children and their own lives in this war? Where would be justice and compen sation for thenj? What about the millions of starved, driven, ' murderded little children, who shall make up to them the jus-ic- e, mercy and love that was denied them? What about the poor soldiers and patriots so cruelly tortured to death? Of what worth was their brief lives if there is nothing after death? Let no one deceive you with any message of despair. There is a life after death a life of beauty and love, and justice and truth, where everything will be made up tothosewho have been denied and suffered in this life. AU that exists the earth, the myriad stars, the moon and the sun, and all the ether, exist to minister to the developmont. the glory, the immortality and eternal life of man. After death we shall have, "Measureless years, and being born anew, begin our life again in some fair home amid the blest and happy." |
