THE SUNNY SIDE.

b'l you ever stop to think that most of the trouble and tough places along this uncertain path called life comes about through misunderstanding? Have you cv- CT criticized the other fellow, said hard things about him, thought harder thoughts about hlm, and when by some chance you hap pcncd to get his side of the story, you got over on his ground and looked at the proposition through his glasses. you found he was not such bad fellow after all. In ihiS hurly burly haste of modern life We rush along and jump at conclusions, form decided opin- ions without any particular good reason.
 lt follows then that wr must of t"nllmcS be wrong, and isn't il really strange that we arc so prone io get on the wrong side and insist on staying there? How many of us sec the ugly things along the path, the weak spots in our fellows and fail to notice his good qualities?
 This Is not intended for a ser- mon, but right here among our selves, did you ever notice the man criticise his home paper, when that paper was doing it's very best to say a lot of kind things about the old scamp? It's way most newspaper have, you know, of saying all the good things and trying to let the bad Things go unsaid. That is one reason that unkind things in a newspaper look so very, very bad 10 some people. They can say all sorts of wicked things, true or untrue, about the paper, the man or men who are making the paper the best they can, and it goes. but the slightest dehecfion from the sunny path on the part of the paper is most unjust.
 Now, this newspaper is being made for you each day. Do you know we arc doing our very best fn make the most nf Inc mater ial you furnish? If you arc poor material We are sure to have some poor SpOis in our manufac- turcd article. We can only make the paper as good as the material will permit.
 To your credit some strangers have said that this is the best newspaper they ever saw in a town the size of Valdez. The point We want to drive homo is that you can make inc paper better. make the community better and inci- drntally improve every one. not excepting yourself, if you will do as well as inc stranger and say right out in mecfin'" that the Prosprctor is inc best paper, in Inc best town, in the best section, in inc best nation, in the best world you know anything about.
 Just try ihiS for week or two and s"c if il will not help IL does not cost much. Then if you will make it a special order of busi- moss, fo stop the reporter when you soc him and fell him where you have been or wherc you may br going or whatever of local news may be specially interested in that fellow that says there is no news in inc paper will be fore cd to quit. Remember the re- porter spends his life trying to tell about your movements, but he is no mind reader and cannot tell by your outward appearance just where you have been or what you have been doing. If you do not scc him call at the office or drop n line in inc postofrice.

The Reason For II.

The following, respecting the recent bond
election in Iron county, is taken from the Beaver
County News:
"This year in Iron County the voters had up,
for their determination the question Of bonding the
comfy in the sum Of $50 10000 for good roads. A
great many people did not vote on the proposition
at ALL OF the votes actually returned there were
81 votes in favor Of the bonding and 40 against
IL. II is hard for US to understand the reason for
this. Iron County is a big county with many
miles Of wagon road and if there ever was
county in the world that needs good roads and
the money to build them il is Iron County How
ever il seems the people did not care for that
improvement I"
We do not wonder that neighboring
counties marvel at the action of the voters in
Iron county. The bond issue was defeated, not
because IL should have been, not because it would
not have benefited the county thousands of dollars
more than the roads would have cost, not because
IL would have caused an increase in taxes not for
any Of these, reasons but because the "scare-
crow" high taxes" was used to brighten the
voters, great majority of whom did not have
time nor opportunity to thoroughly investigate
the actual conditions.
Iron county, for the past few years has been
expanding in road construction approximately
So. 900 year, most of which was used to make
repairs to roads already built. This sum would
have paid the interest on the entire proposed
issue of bon Is and would have provided sinking
fund sufficient to refund the entire bond issue at
maturity. and the county would have had the
$50, 600. and system Of the best roads in the
western country.
But the voters were told that the bond issue
would mean an increase of taxes, and they ac-
cepted the statement without making thorough
investigation, and we must now let the matter
rest as finally disposed OF, and give our atten-
ton to other things.

all times proficient in the art of DISCRIMINATING
his fellows, provided always that the sovereignty
gives its sanction. The boy is drilled in the
manual of arms and the idea is instlled in his
mind that some day he may be called upon to do
wholesale killing should his country become in
volved in war with another nation.
The private laws of every nation are continu-
ously growing more stringent respecting the
taking of human life. until the excuses which a
man may now make for the killing of another are
few indeed
AS to how nations can expect to abolish war,
while continuously Installing into the minds Of
their male citizens, from boyhood to full manhood,
the principle that they are to be ready (expected)
to do execution Of their fellow men at some time
in their lives, is, confess problem that to US
seems impossible of fufillment and an instance
of national inconsistency.
Without doubt, it is an outrageous fact that
the government of the United States spends
money enough in period of five years in main
tanning its army and navy to provide homes-a
tract Of land with house and outbudings--for
every homeless family in the country. What
master stroke of humanity. what an advance in
boosted civilization such action on the part of
our government this would bel Think of the thous-
ands of poor. broken-hearted persons that would
be given renewed energy from whose lives would
be removed a burden that is making their
existence almost unbearabe.
Until nations look at the killing of men by
means of organized warfare as in reality as much
murder as if such killing had been done by indivi
duas at their own nstigation instead of at the
instigation of the government of which they were
the subjects the hope that is cherished by thous-
ands of christian people the world over that uni
versa peace may reign among all the civilized
nations of the world, can hardly be possible of
fulfllment.

Why DO Men Do 1t?

There seems to be a persistent determination
on the part of certain ones in Cedar City to vio-
late the state laws and the city ordinances respect
ing the sale of liquor.
If the men who surreptitiously< o. the intoxi-
cants that are sold in this city We AZ It respect
their manhood they would from T}s7sday refuse TO
sell another drop or be party to ITS sale.
Four of every five offenses thahhave resulted
in fines or Imprisonment after trials in the justice
courts in this city during the past have been the
result of mbibng too freely of intoxicants
Nine men out of every ten who drink liquors
do not do so for any benefit they will receive from
il but because it deadens their senses and for the
time makes them oblivious to the realities of life
and unconscious of any disgraceful conduct that
might bring the blush of shame to their cheeks if
done in moment of conscious realization.
If men will drink, they should go up into one
of the canyons or out on the desert, where they
would see and be seen only by the coyotes lizards
and other inhabitants of the cliffs or the sage
brush and where they might dsport themselves
to their hearts content. 1t is one of the char
acterstcs of the drinker however, that generally
he wants every one else to know about it, to see
him and hear him, regardless of their wishes in
the matter,
For this reason the law. through its officers, is
forced to punish those who persist in becoming in
toxcated and interfering with the rights of others.
There is no question but that the dispenser of the
liquor should be made to suffer as we'll as the one
who buys it and drinks it.

Why the Struggle is Hard

To leak of the prospects for universal peace
among the nations of the earth u.s. in the light of
recent international events akin to wishing for
an escape from death,
However. like any other ideal having for it's
object the betterment of mankind, the cherished
hope that such n condition may eventually be
brought about should not be surrendered, but
those who are in the lead of modern civilization
should keep steadfastly at work along lines that
will eventually demonstrate the absolute fallacy,
as we'll as the positive inhumanity, Of organized
warfare
War is but legaliged murder The fact that
il is sanctioned by the nation makes it no less
murder than ii the loss OF life in military conflicts
were the result of controversies between the ndi-
vduals who compose the contending armies. The
bible admonition says. "thou shalt not kill" the
humanity of man says it is wrong to take the life of
fellow being but the beastly instinct which has
not yet been totally eraoicated, at times asserts
itself and then follows the thirst for blood de-
sire to end the life of fellow creatures.
The argument of some of the trained military
leaders of the world. that the best way to preserve
pea q is to build more and larger battleships and
equip larger armies with the latest death-dealing
devices, is not in any sense consistent In other
matters the world insists that environment has
nearly everything 10 do with the character and
conduct OF a child, or even of 9n adult person

ate with Other boys who smoke drink, swear and
play cards, ho will develop an appetite for these
things That II q man associates withtha vicious
and depraved, about saloons gambng-dives, and
other places of evil he will develop a desire for
these evils and will look upon the law, with con-
tempt.

of the government is taught that he should be ut
