SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
PAYS TRIBUTE TO NEVADA.

Nevada Is known as the Sagebrush
State-but that is a heritage of the
days when sagebrush was about the
only thing that had been discovered
there except cacti and rattlesnakes.
The Nevada of today is q common
wealth of good farms and ranches, OF
pretty cities, of wonderful mines and
most important of all-of good citi.
zens.
Distinction Is claimed by and for
the State on account of its splendid
mines. Perhaps no more sensational
discoveries In the metals have been
made than in this particular common
wealth. It's contributions to the
money accumulations OF the United
States have been plentiful and con
tinuous since the old days of Virginia
City and Comstock.
During the year just closed the
record of abundant mineral output has
been admirably maintained, and this
has been accompanied by develop.
ments indicating that there Is no limit
to the States resources in this par.
ticular respect.
Along with the development indus.
trially has gone city building of an
admirable character The State is
being civically transformed. Nowhere
else in the United States has there
been more apparent the steadying
hand of civilization.
Nevada's citizens are brave, else
they could not have brought out of ma.
lures formidably-locked treasure
house the wondrous wealth which has
come from the State. Brave as they
are known to be, they naturally enter
upon the year 1916 filled with admir-
able confidence, and 1t is safe to say
that twelve months from now will find
more glorious Nevada.

WHERE
DANGER LIES.

There are just two arguments
against reasonable preparation for ma
tional defense. One is that war is in
herently wicked; hence we should not
engage In war, even to the extent OF
defending ourselves from unjust ag
gression. The other Is that war In.
volving this country is not possible;
hence preparedness Is futile. All the
high-soundlng sentiment and fine-spun
theory that the opponents Of national
defense indulge In simmer down to
these two propositions.
Few have the candor to openly and
unreservedly indorse the first state
ment. The proposition that Americans
should not defend themselves II ut
tackled is altogether too pacific even
for the majority of the pacifists. The
doctrine Of absolute non.resistauce
savors too much of cowardice and
poltroonery for red.blooded manhood
to tolerate.
And, while we have read diligently
and listened patiently, we have so far
failed to find one sound argument In
the reams OF writing and coolies OF
oratory that have emanated from pa.
ClfiBts In the last six months to sub
stantiate the second premiBe-that
war against this country Is not pos.
sible, or even probable. At this very
moment the foreign relations OF this
country are at the critical point that
would require nothing but spark to
explode the powder magazine.
Diminishing, then, the first promise
as contemplate and the second rs un.
founded, what grounds have the anti.
preparedness agitators left to stand
upon? In the name of common sense,
why should they oppose a sane, rea-
sonable, conservative program OF ma.
tional insurance against national dis
aster? The talk of the dangers OF
militarism, In such program as that
put forward by the administration, is
the veriest bosh. The only mllitarism
this country needs TO fear iG the mill
tarism that may be directed against us

rs DR.. DERNBURG
LEES US NOW.

To DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, whom
Dublic sentiment drove from this
country because Of his Objectionable
ierman propaganda, We are indebted
for characterization of us that is
Unexpectedly good. 1t appears in the
london Times as his final judgment
IN America.
The Herr Doktor isn't altogether
complimentary. Apparently he didn't
mean to be complimentary at all. His
statement is simply a scientific analy-
SIS for the information of his own peo-
pie.
Americans content themselves with
L minimum of scientific knowledge"
he says which is true. We have an
'eXciteable nature"-which, also is
rue. Our excitable imaginations have
fed upon lying reports of atrocities"
in which also there Is considerable
truth.
But that isn't the whole cause of
our sentimental feeling hostile to
Germany" He, points out that, ANY,
body who regards all Americans as
pure materialists does them wrong
They carry great deal of moral bag
gage about with them"
AS a part of this moral baggage
he sets down the fact that we arc
"anti-militaristic."
THE American mother is deeply
and simply religious, and will not
bring her son up to be a soldier. The
German deeds Of heroism inspire IN
her mixed feelings of horror and fear"
He concludes that "the best way to
clear our relations with America will
be to put them on an ethical basis"
And he's dead right about that.
