COM MENCE AT HOME.

Somebody is sending out appeals for
contributions to enable workers In the
mission fields OF Japan TO aid the
sick and wounded Of both armies" as
well as the widows and children Of
soldiers killed in the war; They repre-
sent the situation as "apalling' They
say that In a single Japanese town,
Sendai. over 1000 families are In need
Of the absolute necessities of life. Every
charitable agency In Japan is said to
be taxed to the utmost
The conditions created by the terrible
conflict IN Asia no doubt calls for the
exercise " charity, but until It is evil
dent that the government is unequal
to the task OF caring for the sick and
wounded, and widows and fatherless
children, IT Is best not to insist upon
the acceptance Of charity.
When the war broke out, enthusiastic
individuals by the hundreds hastened
to Japan, 10 offer their services az

directly decline their offer, but the doc
tors soon found that these foreigners,
Notwithstanding their good intentions,

friend on the street. He observed that
there was strong gale blowing, and
he hoped that no ship would get lost
outside the harbor, Some passer-by
overheard this and thought the state
ment had been made that a ship had
persisted Just outside the harbor, lie
then met a friend and naturally asked
II he had heard about the shipwreck,
lie had not. Further conversation led
to the conclusion that, since such and
such a boat was due, that must be the
one And In q short time thousands
knew" that a vessel had just perished
In the gale There was much ado about
absolutely nothing.
II is necessary therefore, In times Of
commotion to use common sense and
not go astray with crowd that may
be led by Infamous schemers who UNI
derstand how to take advantage OF the
pecullarities Of human nature. In the
large slaughter-houscs there are we
understand sheep trained TO lead
the other sheep TO the place Of death.
They are kept and fed for the purpose.
Some humans seem to have no higher
aim IN life than to lead others to moral
destruction. They should be known,
and their work should be clearly UNI
derstood.

The chaplain of the Illinois house OF
representatives offered this prayer on
the departure OF the President on his
hunting expedition.
I'VE invoke Thy choicest blessings
upon our country at large. Bless the
Chief Executive Of this great nation
personally and officially. and as he is
soon to reach the happy grounds on
which he has fixed his far away gaze,
and where the wild beasts abound
whether these monsters OF the noun
talns flee from him In fear or hy M
him In fury, may he find himself pro-
tected by the shield OF the Almighty
so that upon his return 10 his home I'm
peace and safety, like Thy servant pa
vid OF old he can testify TO the people
that the Lord delivered him out OF the
paw OF the lion and out OF the paw of
the bear, and let all the people praise
Thee Amen and amen"
To an on-looker IN Vienna It would
seem that the wild beasts needed
praying for.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER.

II is not worth while to handy words
with a wriggler, who, when cornered
FOR falsehood, twists and turns ana
pours forth volumes Of sentences utter
~ irrevelapt to the original question,
In REPUTATION Of the statement from a
VIGOROUSLY mendacious source that the
charge made by Elder 10, II. Roberts OF
Thomas Kearns' strenuous endeayors
10 obtain Church support for his re-
election, was contradlcted by President
joseph f. Smith In his interview with
the representative Of the Plttsburg
Times, the Deseret News quoted the
actual language of each Of those gem
tlemen, showing their complete harmo-
ny and the impudent falsehood OF the
Kearns hired apologist This has been
followed by TRADE Of impotent and
abusive verbiage that does not touch
the matter in dispute We need not
follow the matter further, but we no
tice II now to introduce the following
letter from a prominent citizen, who
understands the situation thoroughly,
md IS familiar with the pertinacious
attempts Of the ex-senator to gain the
"maooence' which he now pretends to
deprecato
$40 the Editor-The daily prevarlcator
now is claiming that 1t was not Sena-
tor KearnB who went to President
Smith in the interest of the former, but
that President Smith sought him,
THAT claim will not be believed by
anybody here, for everybody UNDER
stands that President Smith despised
the hypoCrite and enemy to Utah who
for four years drew the pay Of United
States Senator from this state. The
claim ls made FOR foreign consumption.
There is abundant evidence that
Kearns kept the TRAN hot In running
Go President Smiths office, seeking the
Church leaders, influence, but always
FALLING TO get II. Hundreds Of people
here know this to be the fact. on one
occasion, when he was not permitted TO
see President Smith, Kearns grew 20
anxious for that influence that at the
close Of n piteous appeal for II TO one

fleet al Pensacola. Rear-Admiral Con-
verse states that last year 1917 per cent
OF the enlisted force Of 30,O66 ran away.
Among the seamen the desertions We're
L91 per cent, and i7lO per cent among
the engine room force. The heaviest
percentage was among the mess men,
nearly one-quartcr Of whom, or 23.lj
per cent LETT the service. The latter
fact, the Bureau sought TO explain on
the ground that there were many for
eigners among these messmen, and that
the servant question IL, after all, Zone
which Is not wholly confined to the ma
val service"
The fact that many Of the men IN the
navy are Of foreign parentage does not,
OF course, explain this wholesale de-
Election from the path Of duty, Many
of the most efficient and faithful sail
ors are found among the Johannesens,
the Corahorgis, the Bresnahans, etc,
whose parents came TO this country
from foreign shores. Nor Is the treat
ment they receive from superior OIL
GERS entirely to blame, although this,
I'm some instances, Is said to be
brutal But the chief cause ia TO be
found In the fact that milltarlsm and
democratic government are as detri-
mentally opposed as dospotism and
freedom, No true American will care
to wear the shackels OF serfdom I'm any
form, and that IS one reason why 80
many risk everything, for freedom. 1t
is this love Of freedom that threatens
to disrupt every institution that can
not be maintained upon the basis Of
equality and fraternity II is this
sentiment that makes America distinct
ly American.
There is much talk OF the necessity
Of charging the navy. and perhaps
this must be done. But, II an efficient
force is desired, this American objection
to AFFECT slavery must be taken into
consideration, As a free citizen there
Is no better soldier and no better sailor,
than the American, But unless he
feels that his rights as a citizen are
respected, he soon becomes a rebel, or
a deserter.

REACHING OUT EASTWARD.

According to recent correspondence
OF the Neue Frele Presse, of Vienna,
Russia Notwithstanding her external
troubles and internal commissions, has
not forgotten that the northern parts Of
Norway would be a most desirable ac-
QUESTION to Russian territory. The ar
tcle in the Vienna paper should BIO
noted in connection with the agitation
on the western slope Of the scandina-
Wan peninsula, for ultimate dissolution
Of the union with Sweden for, the
charge was made several years ago
that this agitation really was In the
interest of Russia. Russian designs
on Norway would also account for the
strenuous attempts at the classification
Of Finland, since any territory acquired
by Russia IN that quarter naturally
would be added to that princlpality,
and that would, OF course, not suit Rus
sian unless Finland were thoroughly
Russfed first.
The correspondent Of the Neue Freie
Pressc points out that for many years
Russian fishermen have settled IN that
part Of Norway and bought up large
tracts Of land, In addition, the coun-
try has been flooded with pamphlets,
which disclosed to the unsuspectng in
habtants that they had many wrongs
which should be remedled, This pro-
duced a state Of extreme discomfort
which was particularly manifested dur
ing any mass-meeting Of the people,
at which times secession was openly
discussed and II was even suggested
that kilograms should be sent to ST.
Petersburg by way of protest against
the Norwegian government Men
dressed az peddlers went from house
to house and sought to increase the
feeling Of friendship for Russia, and
that OF discomfort with Norway, these
Russian agents In all cases laying all
Of the blame for the onerous conditions
OF life on the Norwegian government,
and representing that such things did
not exist In Russia,
Investigation by the government Of
Norway disclosed the fact that the
Russians were constructing military
roads towards the Atlantlc,and through
a country where only Laps and REIN
| deer roamed, who had no more use for
such roads than had formerly the In
dams Of this country. It was eyi-
dent that these lines of communica-
tion were not intended for the Laps,
Russias fate in eastern Asia is about
TO be decided, II we mistake not. II
the ships Of Rojestyensky are des-
troyed, and the Russian army driven
out Of Manchurla all Russian hopes
OF reaching an open harbor In China
must be abandoned for long time,
The plans for obtaining convenient
! Norwegian ford for a naval station
viii then be taken up IN earnest, pro-
ylded the Russian empire is not then
broken up and reconstructed on the
! American model Of government, In
which case there would be no danger
Of a Russian policy Of expansion to-
ward the Atlantic
Events Of importance are Transporting
in this day and generation. Those who
are wise will read and understand the
signs Of the times"

JEFFERsONIAN THEORIES.
Kansas CITY Star.


The usual number OF divergent inter-
pretations Of the theories Of Jefferson
were given at the various dinners last
night The radical and the conserva-
tive alike took pleasure in pointing out
that he himself was the only original,
simon-pure Jeffersonian and he was
ready to bolster up his case with quo
tations from the writings of the master,
Thus the patron saint of Democracy
was quoted yesterday In support of the
most contradictory doctrines, Religious
sectarians do the same thing. You can
find a text Of Scripture to bolster up
almost any theory, The most divergent
sects proclaim themselves to be firmly
based on the impregnable rock of the
Bible, Such liberalism I'm things re-
llgious or sectarian Is absurd. II Is
the spirit OF Jesus or Of Jefferson that
counts and not texts wrested out Of
their connection or considered apart
from the conditions Of the times.
