THE BEST THING TO DO.

The best thing for all of us Alaskans to do is to muffle our conceit and take general sur vey of ourselves To boast that we Alaskans are as good as anybody from anywhere and then fall down when proof is demanded is misplaced concet and should not obtain. The point which we want to make is this: Why was it that our delegate had to go outside of Alaska to find suit
 able young men for appointees to the West Point Military School? Surely not because the country is without sufficient timber for there are hundreds Not of the Smart Alec" kind either, who would have been glad to be given the oppor- tunity to be educated at the expense of the gov ernment and the chance of bossing the country besides. The reason that compelled the delegate to take outside timber was not the lack of tim Der, but the quality-presumably. Are we too conceited to notice our deficiency? Be that as it may, our young men are not getting the positions.

ONE-SIDED PLEASURE.

Since the morning of the first of 1918, the officials have been having the time of heir lives looking for booze of the 1917 vintaee Ind to say that they have not found - would be to nlisTepresent the facts because they have But that is neither here nor there. What is hotherine the most of us now is to know what they do with the stuff. They have not appeared the worse fer their finds; and surely they are not that foolish as to destroy it when it was bought and paid for with good money. If it was good stuff in 1917 it should be good yet and anything that is good should not be thrown away so says AEr. Hoover According to our idea the best thing they could do would be to distribute it around for many Of Us will surely get stomach ache before we can get used to drinking that cold tasteless water, and whenever the symptom of that terrible maladv would appear a pull out of the bottle would help some. The way it is done now, the officials are playing too much into the hands of the doctors. the last persons in the world who should be permitted to benefit at the expense of suffering humanity.

TOWNLEY DEMANDS
VOTE OF MEMBERS
LEAGUE DELEGATES FROM Is
STATES TAKE IMPORTANT AC-
TION IN ST. PAUL MEETING.

st. Paul, Dec. 10 -Forty-five Nom
partisan league delegates from the Is
states in which the League is organic
ing have met in this city and taken;
important steps looking to the larger
future before the organization. Ar
ticles of association to meet the needs
Of national organization were adopt
ed and A. G. Townley was reelected
to the national executive committee
and therefore as president. Mr..
Townley, however, refused to accept
the Office, in view of the widespread,
attacks on him personally, until the

members of the League sanction his
election by referendum vote. Resolu-
tons have been adopted showing the
position of the League on the vital is
sues OF the day. League accounts
have been reviewed with the aid Of
outside auditors and found entirely
satisfactory.
The main feature of the articles OF
association is their provision for
democratic control of the organiza-
ton without letting down the bars to
outside schemers and without sacri-
f1cing efficient administration. The
township meetings are to send dele
gates to county conventions, and the
county conventions in turn supply the
state convention. The state conven-
ton chooses state executive COM
mlttee and the chairman of this com
mttee becomes a member of the
national committee. There will thus
be as many members of the national
committee as there are states orga-
nized.
The national committee has full
power over policies and other final
slsions of the League. The ma
tional executive committee of three,
in charge of administration, has been
kept as it is and when vacancy oc-
ours it is to be filled by the remaining
members with the consent of the ma
tional committee.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
The delegates from the 13 states
pledged their support to the follow
ing:
l. A peace program must be
adopted which will make an end of
war by creating a world democracy,
not by substituting one despotism for
another. A United States of the
World, by consent and not by con-
quest.
z. A reconstruction program must
be adopted which will provide employ
ment for all, reduce the cost of liv-
ing, maintain earnings of labor and
of primary producers, make an end of
monopoly extortion, and redeem the
state and national governments from
the autocratic control of monopolies,
and in this way make this nation safe
for democracy.
3. The termination of the present
national control of railways, and all
other public utilities and industries as
war measures, not by returning the
properties to private monopolies, but
by national ownership, which shall be
extended to include all means of
transportation and communication
and all other undertakings which in
their nature must be either great pri-
vate monoplies, or public enterprises.

THE BETTER WAY

II is better to lose with conscience clean
Than to win with trick unfair;
It is better to fall and know you've been,
Whatever the prize was, square,
Than to claim the JOY of far-of goal
And the cheers Of the standers-by,
And to know down deep in your innermost soul
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick may take the prize,
And at first he may think it sweet,
But many day in the future lies
When he'll wish he had met defeat.
For the man who lost shall be glad at heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conquerer knows he must play the part
OF cheat and a living lie
The prize seems fair when the fight is on
But save il is truly
You will hate the thing when the crowds are gone.
For it stands for false deed done
And it's better you should never reach your goal
Than success TO buy
AT the price of knowing down in your soul
That your glory is all lie

WIDE REPUTATION
FOR EFFICIENCY CLAIMED

A week or two ago we made men
ton Of the estimation placed upon the
machine work of the Kopp Garage,
which had given a statewide reputa-
ton TO the work Of this establishment
customers prefering to entrust repeat
orders to them to having it done in
Salt Lake City, even when there. Now
comes Don Coppin Of the garage which
bears his name, who sets up the claim
that he has established national
reputation on his battery work. AS
proof he states that after having re-
built a battery for a man from Bos
ton, who was touring in this part Of
the country, a few weeks later tour
ing man blows in and enquiries if "this
is Don Coppin's garage" On being
answered in the affirmative, he states
that he is from Boston and has been
directed to him as the best battery
man in this part Of the country, and
has his battery rebuilt and put in con
dition again.
That's the idea, boys. Let every
fellow do his best, and make an en-
viable reputation for the service of
our town. Anybody here who does
less than his best, is not worthy Of
the town, and has no business being

Do You Enjoy Life7

A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the bilious and dyspeptic are despond-
ent, do not enjoy their meals and feel
miserable a good share of the time.
This i'll feeling is nearly always un-
necessary. A few doses of Chamber

GRADUALLY, but surely, we fancy, it must
be dawning upon the impearalistic heads of Ger
many and Austria that men coerced and forced
into battle match for men who go in volun-
tarialy and willingly in the defense of country
and freedom. After making due allowance for
the fact that reports of the success of the allies,
and particularly the Americans, come to up thru
channels prejudiced in their favor and giving due
credence to the claims coming from Berlin it must
be admitted that the military ridden subjects of
Germany and Austria are no match for our free
men. Even the Romans hurl them back with ire
mendous destruction 1t looks as if the tide had
turned, and that plutocracy was facing an newt
able and early defeat.

WE MUST HAVE THEM.

OUR discovery that there are at least three
~ families in Cedar City who do not take their
local newspaper, is most surprising, and is con-
dition which should not be permitted to continue.
Therefore we are making very remarkable offer
to bright boys and girls of the town, whereby they
can not only confer favor on these unwise citi-
zens, but may also aid in winning the war, pile
up nice little savings investment for themselves,
and win liberal prize money. The proposition is
one which cannot fail to interest the young people
it is so fair and generous, and you will do them a
favor by calling their attention to our announce
ments elsewhere in this issue of The Record.

HOW is YOUR
MORALE?
THE OTHER DAY.
BY Helen Rowland

I1E vi HEN Ia i,
heard somebody getting terribly
excited over "the morale of the army
or "the morale of the people,"
Or "the morale of Germany"-or
something,
And all Of sudden,
1t flashed over me, like a great white
light,
That nobody has more than ONE
morale" to keep Up"
And that the only morale" | need
to worry about is MY OWN!
And then / said this little prayer:
"Oh, Lord,
Help me to keep my pluck and
courage,
"And my FAITH in everybody and
everythingl
ain American ideals, and American
grit, and American ingenuity
"And in Yankee spunk, that has
never yet lost.
"When the heat fails and the water
pipes burst and the gas freezes,
when eggs go up and wheat is
short and the laundry breaks down
and the news in the morning paper is
a little disheartening,
"Let me not give aid and comfort
to the ENEMY
"By wailing over my own little woes
"And helping to drench the world
in gloom and to take the heart out of
everybody about me!
"When the blizzard bloweth and the
grippe grippeth,
"And the weather seems to be try
ing to Guido the kaiser in Shreklich-
keit and to win the Iron Cross,
keep me patient and calm and
sweetly cheerful,
"That l may help to put serenity
into the hearts of those around me,
"Yea, help me to come up smiling!
"Let me face my meatless, wheat
less, sweetless days joyfully,
"Know that for every lump of sug-
ar which | must forego in my cup of
tea,
"There is a spoonful of sugar for
some boy over there
"And that for every cup Of flour
that am denied,
"There is a piece of bread for some
hungry soldier.
"Yea, make me GAME!
"Stay me from joining the knock
ers.
"Help me to be lenient-even to the
landlord; gentle--even to the iceman!
"When complainers come unto me
with their oh-how-dreadfuls' and their
'isn't-it-awfuls' and all their petty
troubles
"Let me smile back at them with a
courage and confidence
"That will SHAME them into ST
lence!
Though others may fret and fume
and sigh and groan,
"And quarrel with fate and the
world and one another,
"Let me keep my eyes steadily to-
ward the light,
"And my heart and hands steadily
upon my OWN knitting, my own job,
"And my OWN morale!
"For though am only a woman,
\ 81 know that it will take more than
Auns and bullets and ships
"To win this war!
"And | know that the greatest thing
that a woman can contribute to the
ultimate victory-of man, or ar
army, or a nation
Greater than sweaters or socks OF
beanies or arguments,
as faith and hope and cheer, and
glad LF-SACRIFICE--
"The smile-that-w on't-come-off."
