PRESIDENT PRAISES
WORK OF NEVADA

III. A. Lennon, director of the State
Council of Defense and recently ap-
pointed state food administrator, has
received the following commendatory
communication from no less person
age that President Woodrow Wilson:
Your state, in extending its ma
tional defense organization by the Gre
alton of community councils, is in my
opinion making an advance of vital
significance. II will, / believe, result
when thoroughly carried out in weld
ing the nation together as no nation
of great size has ever been welded
before. 1t will build up from the
bottom an understanding and sympa-
thy of purpose and effect which will
no doubt have an immediate and de-
cisive effect upon our great under
taking. You will find il. I think, not
so much new task as a unification of
existing efforts. fusion of energies
now too much scattered and at times
somewhat confused into one harmoni-
Gus and effective power.
"It is only by extending your or
ganization to small communities that
every citizen of the state can be
reached and touched with the inspira-
tion of the common cause. The school
house has been suggested as an apt
though not essential center for your
local council. 1t symbolizes one of
the first fruits of such an organiza-
ton, namely the spreading of the
realization of the great truth that it is
each one OF us as an individual citizen
upon whom rests the ultimate respon-
sibility. Through this great new or
ganization we will express with added
emphasis our will to win and our con-
fidence in the utter righteousness of
our purpose.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON"

EDUCATED INDIANS
ASSIST RECRUITING

The above was the heading of an
item in a paper published in another
state which attracted our attention
yesterday. Items dealing with the
loyalty of our Indians are always OF
interest to the American public, and
all the more so when that loyalty
takes the form of enlistment in the
army for actual service wherever the
enemy may be found, and when lead
ers of the tribes of red men encourage
their followers and others to take up
arms against the common foe And
so we read the item with deep interest
as 1t told that recruiting in that par
ticular city was to be stimulated by
the oratory of full-blooded chief of
one of the tribes of Oklahoma. who
arrived accompanied by his wife,
princess with long -drawn-out name.
The princess is also said to be a Car
Isle graduate. the last living descend
ant of an ancient tribe of Southern
California, and the only full-blooded
Indian Red Cross nurse in America.
But the farther we read the more
we began to wonder. A lot of it
seemed to have familiar ring to it
in some way or other According to
the story, the couple paraded the
street in tribal costume, and made
their first public appearance at
theatre where the chief spoke at the
invitation of the manager Speaking
by the two at army recruiting head
quarters was arranged for the fol-
lowing day. The chief is advertised
as highly educated man, a graduate
of Carlisle Indian school and of the
Rush Medical college of Chicago. The
public is told that he has been his
tribes representative at Washington
for several years and will be the next
chief The paper carries a story of
how the chief was a passenger on the
Antilles, which was sunk by a Ger
man submarine, and in that expert
ence suffered five fractured ribs and
an injured lung. 1t is stated that he
is slowly recovering from the effects
of the operation made necessary by
the injuries received when the boat
was torpedoed. The chief promised to
tell his audiences tales of a visit to
General Pershing and his command at
the front in France during the course
of one of his two journeys around the
world
Local people have not the pleasure
of the chiefs acquaintance-at least
not under the name given in the item
prompting this-but they do. recollect
chief of the Oklahoma Indians who
claimed to have travelled extensively
and to be a graduate of the two
schools named above, and to have suf-
fered some fractured ribs and injuries
through an accident in a football
game. He was also given to parading
the streets in tribal costume and ap-
pearing at theatres.-[Carson News.

next meeting.
These plans are particularly desir-
able at this time. as the Overland
Trail Club has received word that a
transcontinental auto trip is being ar
ranged by representatives of the
American Automobile Association
touring bureau, to be made from New
- til
clude the western division of the
Pixies Peak Ocean-to-0cean highway.
The trip will take place early in the
spring and IL is the intention of the
members of this party to thoroughly
inspect the Utah-Nevada and Califor-
MIA divisions of the national highway
between Ogden and San Francisco.
The result of this inspection will
mean a great increase in travel on the
Overland Trail.
A portion of the notice sent by r. L.
Harley. secretary of the Overland
Trail Club. with headquarters in Love
lock. to the members of the board of
lows and states clearly the dire need
of getting in and doing something:
Included in the different parties
that will travel over the Overland
Trail are the representatives OF the
American Automobile Association
touring bureau and their report on
the Overland Trail will determine
whether the use of this route will be
recommended when crossing Nevada
or not. This is of vital importance to
us at this time and Ii is absolutely
necessary that the members OF our
club put forth every effort to repair
the roads in their respective districts
In order that the report of the A.AA
touring bureau be favorable to our
highway.
ITO this end we have set April as
Good Roads day in all the cities and
towns along the trail and request that
you take this matter up with the mem
bers and notify us at the earliest pos
sible date that this occasion meets
with your approval"

WAR IN U AMERICA

The Information contained in press dispatches con-
corning the prospect of war between Chile and Peru may
well serve to dampen, in a measure. that spirit Of OPP
timism which assumes that through the fundamentally
Of the great war which is just being brought to a close,
human nature has been SO changed that it will not again
tolerate war anywhere. and that no care or effort will be
required to insure the permanency Of wars Punishment
from the earth.
In common with the other South American countries.
Chile and Peru have much of the primitive in their popu-
lations. But they have also men Of wisdom and culture
in their governmental, economic and professional life.
Judged by the things that give character to their public
affairs they are advanced and progressive countries. Be-
tween them there are the barriers of old antagonisms
and MISUNDERSTANDING, some of which seem to have
grown stronger with the years, and now, in the opinion
Of an influential element in Peru, is the time to right
wrongs which Peru has suffered at the hands Of her
neighbor, and especially to regain territory which was
appropriated by Chile as the result Of former wars.
1t is especially interesting to note that this prospect
of war comes at a time when there is being seriously
discussed the formation Of a South American customs
union to aid in cementing the friendship Of the southern
republics for each other. Such a plan has been IN sue
cessful operation for some time between Argentina and
Peru, each country receiving, without the payment OF
duty, imports of all kinds from the other. The plan is
said to have given excellent satisfaction, and an earnest
effort is being made to extend its provisions to the entire
continent.
Naturally war, if it comes, will prevent the adoption
of this and other constructive devices. The two countries
Immediately involved will sacrifice men and material,
and will load themselves with debt, and the disturbance
will affect all their ~neighbors. Such a prospect, coming
close on the heels of four years of war in Europe, dem
onstrates the need for an international authority which
can bring to bear on the maintenance of peace both the
combined intelligence and the combined force of the
civilized world.

The Madison Square Garden Incident

Violence is to be deplored, Of course, and it would
be the easiest thing in the world to write a homily on
the improperly committed by the soldiers, sailors and
marines in New York the other night when they mobbed
the crowd OF Socialists. internationalists and Bolshevikt
who had gathered at Madison Square Garden, ostensibly
to protest against the execution of Thomas ]. Mooney,
but in reality to give voice to sentiments of hostility to
America and everything for which America stands. 1t
would be easy enough to point out that these men, wear
ing the uniform Of their country, ought to have been
among the first to oppose violent interference with the
right of individuals to assemble peaceably and to express
themselves on any matters which they chose to discuss.
1t may be worth while, however, to remind ourselves
that the young men who made hash of that disloyalty
meeting are human beings, with red blood in their veins:
that the fact that they wore uniforms implies that they
had been brought into close personal contact with some
of the issues which were brought under discussion at that
meeting, and that it was expecting a good deal to expect
test the contemptuous reputation by that crowd of
everything represented by the uniform which they wore.
The crowd of anarchists who filed that auditorium
warned concerning their behavior, and they chose to
had evidently been carefully pre-arranged, they used a
dozen devices to show their contempt for the American
government, and they ignored totally the spirit of the
instructions under which they were permitted to meet,
that there should be nothing said or done which wou:d
tend to infame public sentiment and precipitate disorder.
The incident has its value in demonstrating that the
young men who have actually served in the armed forces
Of their country are not going to countenance in their
own country the Bolshevism of whose effects they have
seen so many deplorable effects abroad.

THE WORLD MUST BE MADE SAFE

Whatever form the settlement of the war and peace
problems may take, the nations that have committed
themselves in this war to the cause Of liberty cannot
abandon their task until the world has, as President Will
son puts it. been made safe for democracy, and this m
wolves, not only the destruction Of autocracy as a govern
ing impulse among men, but the reign Of law and order
throughout the world.
We have in Russia, for instance, a vast territory full
Of valuable natural resources. and a population Of some
100000 and both the resources Of mine and field and
forest and those inherent in the man power of the country
are lying fallow and unimproved, contributing nothing to
the worlds store Of energy, and not even supplying the
people themselves Of that great country with the bare
necessaries Of life.
The Russian despotism has been overthrown. Moth
ing has been supplied to take its place, and the whole
country is in a riot Of disorder. The rest Of the world
cannot give Russia a government. There must be deveI-
oped In and Of Russia herself a government more or less
suited to her needs. For that We must wait with what
patience we can summon. But it is not necessary that
the world shall wait in the meantime until this has been
accomplished. and witness the suicide Of a great people
and permit the absence Of adequate government to create
In the former Russian empire a menace to the safety and
stability Of all that has been done elsewhere in the name
Of ordered liberty.
