MIR. Guy N. Hunter, OF Waterproof,
acted as best man for his friend, Mr..
w. s. Alsop, when the latter was mar
ried last Saturday, and which we be-
lieve makes about the seventeenth
time our friend has served i'm that de-
lightful capacity. But this brings to
mind a saying not unpopular with the
fairer sex, "Thrice ridesmaid-nev-
er BRIDE" However, we sincerely
hope the rule will be without effect as
regards the groomsmen, rather that
the opposite may be true, as we un-
derstand friend Guy has some notions
OF his own right now, judging from
the number OF visits he makes to the
beautiful and historic city on the bluffs
some fifty miles to the South OF us.
Anyhow his friends wish him luck!

UTAH MOURNS

AS we feared some of the Utah men
who crossed the ocean with the Ninety
first division have been called upon to lay
down thei rlives in foreign land for
their country. The hearts of all the peo-
pie Of the state go out in sympathy for
fathers and mothers, wives, sisters and
and brothers and other relatives Of these
young men who acted the manly part and
went down to death upon the field Of bat
tie in war which has no parallel in all
the ages. Time will soften the blow, and
those who are now bereaved will dry
their tears. But they will never forget.
During the remaining years Of their lives
they will cherish the memory Of their
loved ones who died that liberty might
live, and they will be proud of the fact
that they are of the same blood and
breed. There is some consolation, too,
in the fact that whereas myriads of men
are born into the world, live long, and die
peacefully in their beds, they leave no
record behind to compare with that of
these sons of Utah who knew not fear,
and persisted in their early manhood,
while fighting for just and holy cease.
The Ninety-first division is now fighting
in Belgium, in company with the British
and the. men are maintaining the high
reputation they earned in the Argonne,
where the whole division was cited for
bravery by the commanding general.
There will be much anxiety until the last
of the casualty lists have been received,
for it is certain further toll will be taken
and more grief brought into Utah homes.
So with tears TO rthe dead and cheers
for the living let us one and all hope for
the best.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SAFETY FIRST

I, What has caused the rapid spread of
influenza in Logan is somewhat of mys-
terry. Apparently everybody has been
trying to carry out the wishes Of the
board of health and those who have colds
have remained indoors and taken the
"cure." We are inclined to believe that
those who have had the "flu" have come
but too soon and it is possible they have
transmitted it to those whom they have
come in contact with. The Republican
suggests that all of those afflicted with
influenza be quarantined in until releas-
ed by the officers. We do not mean to
say that any have been wilfully trying to
stop the spread Of this disease, but safe
ty first" is the better plan.

ANOTHER STRIKE

case Of Mooney, the convicted bomb
planter.
An appeal has made for hear

The word is being passed out off,
sially BY Mrs. Rena Mooney to
100000 labor union members that
a general strike is to be called II he
hangs.
The official circular says: Work
is going to cease unless Mooney is
given new trial or released at
once.p
This Is labor war and will r.,

AS BELGIUM HEARS 1T

Far away from Salt Lakes big hearted
typically American celebration was an
other celebration Of far different volume
but equally intense in feeling. Instead Of.
the riotous jubiliation Of thousands jostl-
ing each other in the streets Of city,
which was repeated over and over again
in many of the cities of the allied nations
there was tense silence about it.
Instead of roaring throngs Of people
cheering the cssors Of the allied nations
and using every possible device for max
Zig a noise, there was a family group,
still spent and worn with its struggle
against war, looking up at the sky in
which not a single shell cloud was burst
ing. They could crawl out Of there
wretched improvised bomb-pro cellar
and stand erect without fear of destruc-
ton. They called no foreign invader
master. No more would they have to
arise, kicked awake by the brutal foot of
a German taskmaster, while darkness
still reigned in the early morning hours,
and toll increasingly.

Profiteering at Washington, D. c. has
stopped. Formerly some congressman
paid girl typists salary Of Sc a week to
do their work, answering letters, filing.
etc. However, things have changed. Ty-
pists demand from $40 to $50 week, and
good ones are hard to get. They have all
gone to work for the government. Be
fore this country entered the war, typists
were there by the hundreds and glad to
get So a week, bat now they demand $40
and are scarce. The days are passed when
a congressman could count on rake
down from clerical hire. He has to pay
about all he is allowed, as the war has
caused an immense INCREASE in his cor
respondence and most Of them require at
least two typists to keep run of the office.

GERMANY's PLEDGE

When the representatives OF Germany
attached their signatures to the armis-
tice terms Of the allies they acknowledged
defeat before the void. Eveyhhhhssssss
defeat before the world. Everything
that Germany possesses is pawned as
pledge that she will return everything
she has stolen. With the surrender OF
Germany we have the destruction OF
Prussianism, and the rule Of might lies
broken and shattered at the foot Of the
throne Of righteousness. We could de-
mand no more because we could exact no
more.
The terms Of the arrnistice were drawn
,een consideration for the safety Of
ind. No nation that held any hope
mediate regeneration could submit
m. A dream Of world conquest has
b. battered on the rocks of righteous
ne Time worn plans for Mittel Eur
opa as wedge in the Old World have
been forever settled by the terms of arm
istice. The abrogation of all treaties Of
the central powers means that never
again will scheming autocrats seek to
control the destines Of the world.
The heavy demands which are exacted
by the allies on the military and naval
equipment Of Germany leaves no room
for doubt as to the victor in the world
war. For Germany to conform to these
demands is for her to offer concrete evil
dence Of her sincerity. 1t is an honest
indication of desire for reform, an adj
mission that her course has been sinful
and an acknowledgment that she is rea-
1y to pay the price.
The allies have imposed stern demands
upon Germany wherever she has been ac-
tive and at the same time they have serv-
ed notice that there can be no trifling. In
this hour Germany must ba,Nsh treach-
cry, for she can no longer hope to win by
it. The allies have established safe
guard by making it plain in the terms
that the armistice may be set aside by
any one of the allied powers in the ev.
ent that Germany fails to live up to the
requirements of the document. No con-
ference will have to be called if Germany
undertakes to abuse the rights Of any Of
the nations. Until this time she has dealt
with the allies as uiit. Henceforth she
trust also deal with them as integral
parts Of the whole. She must not only
satisfy the allies as a whole, but conform
to the demands of each as an individual
power. Civilization has triumphed.-
