w. C. T. U.

Today the 9th is the time set apart by Gov. Brough to hold prayer ser vices either in home or church, for the safety of the nation in these times of war stress.
 The W. c. T. U. having carried the department of peace since its organi- zation, it saw fit to observe the day yesterday at it's regular meeting with Mrs. Andrews.
 The leader, Mrs. Sam Logan, had splendid program. The subjects were:
 1. For what shall we prepare? ?. Alternatives by which to retain peace.
 3. What military men think of warfare.
 1. The hand that rocks the cradle.
 In the paper read by Mrs. Moncrief we learned that first-class battle ship costs during it's lifetime of 20 years, about $2s,OOO,OOO, $5OO.OO a year is fair allowance for college expenses. Many do not spend half that. A four-years course makes S2,00000. Thus the cost of one bot tleship viii give a college education to 14,000 young men and women, the total enrolment of Chicago, Illinois and Northwestern Universities com bined. Why not demand that for every battleship we make and main tain the nation shall educate 14,000 of it's brightest and best young peo- pie to be makers of peace and sol- diers of the common good? We could place peace squadron" on the sea as a counter-irritant to the great navy the militarists are demanding. Max cit real envoy of peace, train. ing ships in which the future proph cts of world-federation shall ba equipped. No guns will be on these ships, but flags of peace will fly from their mastheads. Picked young men and women aboard would sail to every part of the earth, to really get acquainted with our neighbors. They would be welcomed as friends. They would convince their hosts that America is sincere in her one passion of having the nations of the earth understand one another so we'll that war would be impossible.
 You call this a Utopian dream? Not so, if Holy Writ is true, for "it is written" that the earth shall be full of the knowledge and glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea-" and when this comes to pass, as it must, then "there will be no more war"

SO far as can be learned the mem
bers of the local union of carpenters
have not been notified of the steps re-
Gently taken at Indianapolis whereby
the entire organization of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers OF America with a membership of
about 100000, will offer their services
to the government in the war.
Pursuant to a resolution adopted in
the western city last Saturday, an
other action was taken ordering that
all members of the organization who
may enlist in either the army or navy,
be retained in good standing at the
general offices and be entitled to all
the benefits as If they were following
their usual work and paying their
dues regularly.
1t seems that information has been
received at the headquarters of the
brotherhood that the government re-
quires the services of its members in

WHAT WINS!
Contributed.)

Last fall the citizens of Utah
elected a Mr.. Bamberger their COVER
nor. 1t is the FIST time that anyone
has ever been elected the governor OF
this state who was not a Mormon.
The Democrats and the Progressives
wanted an honest governor who
would sign prohibition bill which
would make the state dry. Mr.. BAN
berger is a millionaire railroad and
mine owner. He came to Utah from
Missouri, the town of Pleasant Hill,
where he was clerk in clothing
store. He is a Jew.
The state of Idaho also elected a
Jew to the highest office in the gift
of the people In 1914 he was chosen
governor for the first time. He was
also from the State of Missouri In
the. town of Chillicothe. He too was
n clerk in clothing store. Governor
Moses Alexander went TO Idaho for
his health where after a few years he
became the owner of a chain OF
clothing stores. He was elected may
or of Boise for two terms and then
they made him governor. These two
men are among those who have been
winning in the west They began life
in a small way and have risen to high
positions of trust and honor because
of their clean lives their spotless in
tegrity, their exalted purposes, their
steadfast convictions and their cour-
age. No other State has ever had a
governor of the Jewish faith.
