OBITUARIES
l++++++~+4+++++++++++++++.


WI
Paul Bennett was born, October
%. 1889 at Arkadelphia. Arkansas.
and died at Lubbock. Texas. Decem-
Der /. In very early boyhood he
sought and found the Saviour and
became a member of the Baptist
church living a beautiful and devoted
Christian to the day Of his death Al
a time like this we are anxious to ask
great questions like these. what has
this man done in the worlds work
what part has he taken IN the great
tasks that demand men true and
worth while-what has h. contribut-
ed to the sum Of human good among
men? II is easy to answer in case
like this. He has patiently. indus
triously and cheerfully met the re
sponsibilities Of life and done well
his part Those of US who have
known him beset love him most and
are stricken with a most painful sense
Of loss. We knew he was true
generous fellow helper even before
he went from US but as the fact Of
his passing comes to US with all its
meaning we grow more sensible of
our sad loss. Today we all feel that
we stand by the casket Of one who
was true and good to US and there
opens before US great empty void
Of our loss. Shall we murmur or
feel rebelious or shall we thank our
Father for the gift of one 50 rich ~
the rare virtuese Of a good life. Al
though he tarried with US for so
short time?
Then we ask what has happened
and where is our good Christian
brother? Our Bible has just told
us what has happened, "Our brother
sleepeth" and awaits the call Of Je-
sus from such sleep. Again our good
book tells US where he has gone TO
day thou shalt be with me IN Para-
disc" Then we are led to ask. how
and with what body does he appear
and how is he employedg Again the
sacred word tells us. They are as
the angels of God" and Are minis
tiers Of those who shall be heirs of
salvation" These and many other
Scriptures teach US that our loved
ones who die in the Lord 20 at once
into His presence and take up holy
active and joyous work in the inter
est and welfare Of the souls Of men.
In the holy hush Of the bodies Of our
dead il is not strange that in our first
wild burst Of grief we should feel that
We have lost utterly our dear one.
but as his good wife said yesterday
he il still ours. How blessedly true
her words. He and all our Christian
dead are ours. Blessed be God, how
rich he has made us in the inherl.

The letter sent to President Wilson
has also been sent to all Rotary clubs
in the country and hns received the
endorsement of T.. Leslie Pidcgon. in.

clubs. Other Rotary clubs are taking
up the matter and It is believed by Mr..
Oddie and other members of the Reno
organization that concerted effort on
the part of hundreds of thousands OF
Rotarians will be made to drive the
proposition TO n successful conclusion.
The letter sent to President Wilson
Is as follows:

spectfully calls TO your attention the
vital necessity for immediate and com.
prehensiye action by our government
in building adequate trans.continental

WAITING FOR A
KAISER" EXTRA

The kaiser more than anyone else
is responsible for this war Think
of the starving old people and chill
dren in many countries, of the
widowed young women, and of the
old women who will never again see
their sons! Think OF the millions
of soldiers in the last bitter hours
of mortal agony! Think of the
gnawed skulls of men in the Shiny
bottoms of many seas, The kaiser
spares his own sons, yet sends the
sons Of his subjects like sheep into
the shambles. and lays their mothers
and sisters in untimely graves. Upon
his head is the blood of 10000, 900 men,
for he could have prevented this war
In Dante's picture of hell he has
no equal, for he is the brutal soul of
savage things put into human shape,
the maddened dog that learned our
common speech, the viper standing
upright clothed as man. For vanity
he set the world afiame. Too long
the crown has crazed his festered
brain. Why should we not use words
of hate-words of flaming, undying
hate against him who stands at the
head of the most fiendlsh of all his
toric outragcs? It Is time to hg.te
and sacrifice born of broodins nate!
Why wait till the wounded come
back? Why wait till the lists of the
dead come in?
Sometimes, sitting at my table II
the night, suddenly | think I car
hear the newsboys breaking the deeJ
silence with their far away cries o
Extra! Extra" Something tells me
They've got him." listen again
The night is silent. The thing wa.
born of the hope in my brain.
But some night 1t will be true!
And then through all the world will
go up n prayer of thanks! Ant
through all eternity, the anguish tina
he wrought will terrify his outcas
soul, as to and fro II wanders trem
bling through the pits OF hell I

S1O,OOO,O0O MILITARY HIGHWAYS
ACROSS NE VADA ARE PROPDSED

Taking the stand that military high
ways from coast to coast are vital
necessity to the protection of this
country in case of invasion as we'll az
n supplementary and very vital add.
ton to the transportation arteries, the
Reno Rotary club has launched n cam.
paign through the Rotary clubs Of the
country to have the government ex.
pend many millions OF dollars in the
near future on building military roads
across the continent, says the Reno
Gazette.
Tasker l.. eddie. former Governor of
Nevada. placed the question before
the Reno Rotary club and the pro.
position received the hearty endorse.
ment Of the club.
The club is not taking the position
that any one road be made n military
highway but that the work be done
on roads that will give the greatest
service and will make the important
SscuOn OF the country most accessible
in case II is necessary for quick com.
munication between them by motor
truck and automobile.
In letter TO President Wilson in
this connection the club points out the
vital necessity for military highways
across Nevada II takes the stand that
the people Of Nevada should not be
asked TO build such roads from state
funds but should receive government
aid. The state only contains one.

OF the country, but contains fifteen per
cent OF the trans.continental highways

and munitions.
The business of carrying on this
war will hereafter require the opera
ton OF thousands of motor vehicles on
our national highways. and this branch
OF the service will grow to immense
proportions If we are to win this war
and make our country safe.
ut Is a well known fact that the
railroads are taxed 10 their utmost
capacity today. What would be their
condition should the war come to our
shores?
"As an economic problem, the ex-
penditure OF at least ten million dol
lars on the national highways OF Ne
yada will be saved the government in
wear and tear of motor vehicles in a
short time, and what is vastly more
important. the very existence of this
nation may depend on the condition
of our national highways in the near
future.
I'VE should be far-sighted as we'll as
aggressive, and We cannot tell what
changes may come in international re.
lations. Recent history has been a
warning to put us on our guard.
Thoroughly good workable nation
al military highways from the At
lantic to the Pacific coast will serve
as an argument such as none other
would. against the invasion of America
by any foreign power. 1t will proclaim
to the world in unmistakable and
forceful terms, the strength and unity
of our country and it's war machine. !
1t will eliminate the distance between |
our centers of population and produc-
ton which will be vitality important
should war come to our shores. !
The people of Nevada are doing
their utmost in aiding the government
in every way possible. but ii is out OF
all reason to expect them, only one
tenth of one per cent of the population
Of the United States, to build fifteen
per cent of the trans continental high. II
ways. This is work for our govern
ment to do at once. as it may mean
its national existence. 1t is vitality /
important that this work be done |
thoroughly and at once as necessary |
precaution and as an emergency !
In speaking before the Stockton Ro.
tary club last week, Mr.. Odde took
up this subject and discussed 1t thor.
oughly with the Californians and as a
result the Stockton club is very enthu.
Siastic about the matter
In commenting on Mr.. Oddie's talk

column editorial praising the PROPOSE.

behind the movement. 1t also pays
several tributes to Nevada and its en-
terprise in getting things started.
He asks for cooperation and COM
:adship in getting necessary military
highways built across the sands and
over mountains of Nevada" says the
Record. "Nevada's wealth or part of

trucks can supply the carriage but
lack the roads"
