No Excuse for Mollycoddles.

One of the really great heroes de-
veloped by the war in Europe is Car
dinal MERCER, the fighting parson'
of Belgium. 1t will be worth every
Lody's while to read again his an
swer yesterday to the German Cath
oiics who have made overtures OF
friendship to the Belgium Catholics:
Catholics over the frontier who
have not found a sing.e word of dis
approval for those who slaughtered
people in Belgium ara shot down
riests-these Catholics who for three
years have looked on with folded arms
al the martyrdom of people-now
are singing hymns of brotherliness,
peace and forgetfulness.
"But it is our duty to press for
the restitution of violated rights, pun
ishment for the guilty and for means
to make a repetition impossible. If
We did otherwise we would be shar-
ing in the guilt for the misdeeds OF
our enemies The hour of the eXer-
else of mercy can only strike when
wrong has been righted and when
contrition is shown and penanee is
accepted"
That ought to be a soul-tirring splri-
itual message to the religious paclfi-
cists of America who believe that to
lie a Christian man must become a
r,ollycoddle.

Keeping Down the Price of Bread.

A grain man from Chicago, inter-
viewed in Kansas City the other day,
criticised American bakers for high
prices, on the ground that the British
baker, remote from the wheat fields,
was selling bread cheaper than the
American baker. He was right as to
the facts. But thsre is this exteau-
ating circumstance:
The British government is buying
wheat in America at S2.75 a bushel,
paying S1.20 a bushel transportation
charge, paying insurance and otheE
charges, bringing the cost of the bush
81 TO $3.50, and then selling it to the
rllllers at $3.50, standing the loss Of
$500 a bushel in order to keep 'dowr
the price of bread.
That indicates the near approach tc
Socialism that the war has forced or
foreign governments. What an outcry
would have gone up in England before
the war at any such suggestion OF
state action!

at would be impossible to over
state the damage done to the moral
fibre of our country by the profeS-
sional pacificist propaganda, the
peace-at-any-price propaganda. The
professional pacificists during the
first two and one-half years of the
war have occupied precisely the po-
sition of the copperheads during the
time of Abraham Lincoln.
THE fact that sheer cowardliness
was more potent than the love OF
ipcace was proved by the fact that
the leading pacificists dared not con-
domn a single specific act of wrong
aoing when such act was committed
By the powerful and brutal foe they
most feared-Germany They cam
ored for neutrality between Germany
ard Belgium. They denounced war
in language which reflected as heavily
on the fathers who were defending
their wives and daughters from out
rage as upon the aggressors, who sys-
itematically practiced rape and tor
ture. BY their failure to protest
against the inhuman torture OF the
poison gas they made it necessary
hereafter to accept this as an ordl-
nary instrument of warfare; just as
lhv our failure to take immediate ac-
ton in connection with the murder
of innocent non-combatants by sub
marines. we committed an offense
against humanity the effects of which
cannot be completely eradicated by
any subsequent action on our part.
"All this meanness and abandon
ment of duty was championed by the
] rofesiosnal pacificists on the plea
that thereby we should be kept out

feet in the trough while we strove tc

scheme is a mammoth one, and has
for its object the watering of the land
recently thrown open by the govern
ment for settlement and now occupied
by people who have taken homesteads
there The land is very valuable when
vatered. and the irrigation scheme
which is the basis for this story pro
POSES to water it.
William Kryger, E. A, Freeman and
c. W. Ingham, who compose the Arl
zona- Mexico land company, are the
rriginators of this scneme, and they
have been working en- it for some
time. to the extent of having inter-
ested Chicago capitalists and secured
contracts with about 80 per cent Of
the land owners for water under pro-
visions recited later. Tie name of the
company which will carry the project
through is the Yuma Mesa Irrigation
company. and here is what is pro-
poses to do:
Pipe Line to Each Section.
Pump water from the Colorado rlv-
or to a huge reservoir on the mesa
and run it by gravity over the land
ly pipe line, the line to be placed on
each section. or e-half-section, Of
the 1900 acres. The company a.so
proposes to install a system of crushed
rock roads sixteen feet wide on six
inch base, on all section lines, for the
use and convenience of the people
embraced in the project.
To land owners they propose to sell
water rights, much the same as the
sells them. The best will
be S75 per acre, including the build
ing Of the road mentioned, payable
az follows:
Five dollars per acre, payable an
lually for fifteen consecutive pay
n ents, the first payment to be made
when the company is ready to deliver
water, and annually thereafter until
the whole amount is paid. The con-
tract price shall be secured by first
mortgage liens upon the land, the com
pany not to be liable to deliver wa
te-: or a water right until the same
shall have been paid for in full or Sc
curity given therefor.
To Build II January.
1t is provided in the contract that
the company will commence building
the system not later than January
rext, and have water ready for de-
livery not later than January l, 1919.
The annual maintenance fee is not in
cluded in the contract, but it is pro-
vided that this point shall hereafter
he determined.
1t is stated by the men behind this
Gigantic scheme that all rights have
Teen secured, the necessary capital
raised and every detail of the propo-
s;tion worked out.
1t is indeed great proposition, and
would mean much to those who own
land in the tract and feel that they
desire to fully improve it.
Mr.. Kryger and the others back of
the project declare that -.-~y have
investigated it and ascertained that
everything they propose to do is feas-
ible and practical and that it can be
accomplished on the basis of the con-

THE LABOR AND SUPPLY
BUREAU OF CACHE COUNTY

Among the worthwhile movements
inaugurated during the year to meet
the emergencies that the uncertain
ties of the war have confronted us
with was the establishment of the
Labor and Supply Bureau.
| The initiative in this commendable
act of foresight was taken by the
mayor and the Commercial Boosters
/ Club. This was back in April-just
in time to provide ways and means
of supplying seeds for planting and
of helping to provide labor during
the growing and harvesting season.
| The organization consists of local
committees in the various cities and
towns of the Representative
from each of which, when assembled
together, form the central committee,
and this body controls the policy
of the bureau. Mr.. +. r. Owen is
the chairman and F.. w. Robinson
the executive secretary OF the organ
ization. The services of the bureau
are absolutely free for all concerned.
During the spring months hundreds
of dollars worth of seeds were adj
vanced to those not in a position to
purchase the same a that time, and
lall told, more than 10000 pounds of
POTATOES and great quantities OF
harley, beans etc, were located for
people who were unable to find seeds.
Due to the Bureaus work the la
!bor situation has at no time been as
Iacute in Cache County as in most
other localities. Nearly a thousand
names, male and female, are on the
Register, and call over the phone
flor help has usually resulted in
bringing employer and employee to-
gether. By keeping an account OF
1.-THE whereabouts of laborers, and the
duration of the jobs to which the,
lwere assigned, it has been possibl,

tions Of the valley. It is a general
merchandise store, the stock being
sufficiently complete to take care of
the local needs OF growing COM
munity. Business has been good
during the past season, the town of
Cornish having taken on new life
with the announcement Of the COM
ing of the new sugar factory.
The active management OF the
store is in the hands of Mr.. Troseth's
daughter. who through her pleasing
personality, is bringing to the store
an enviable patronage.
