A COMMUNICATION
FROM Or. WORDEN

Editor Independent:
Dear Sir: Will you please in
form your subscribers that the
"clean up requested of the resi-
dents of Elko was by the direction
Of the Board IF Health as stated
IN the advertisement? am only one
member of the Board and haven't
presumed anything. the expense be-
ing authorized by the Town Beard
for which they should receive the
credit due them.
The total expense expected be-
ing something between five and
ten Cents per capita depending on
how thoroughly the citizens of E.
kc can be induced to "clean up.
Thousands of towns are doing this
very thing through meeting the
expense by donations. In Elko a
liberal-minded up.to-date town
board have seen the folly of sad
ding this little aggregate expense
on the few who always give to pub
lie collections and placed if on the
property to be benefited, a very
small matter financially but Of
very great importance from a
health standpoint.
My especial interest in the mat
ter is prompted by a desire to be
efficient.
Respectfully yours.

THE FEAR OF WAR

What shall we say Of the horrors
of war as a means of leading men
to Peace? Some good men tell Us
that we should not discuss wars
horrors, furies and atrocities, be-
cause men cannot be brought to
peace through fear. This is true.
We would not have en- peaceful
through %cowardice, even If we
could. A brave man must brave
horrors if need be, as a part Of
the duty of manhood.
But he need not cause them.
Some ones crime is behind every
war;. 1t is not fear Of war we
would cultivate, but fear If wrong,
fear that we may have some par,
in making needless war. 1t is not
the fear of blood but Of blood
outlines we would develop. To
fear to do wrong is not cUwardice.
1t is the highest courage. 1t is q
part of that fear Of the Lord which
is the beginning of WISDOM
