WHAT WE OWE OUR SOLDIERS

On July lst. in speaking of the
subject of continuing the United
States Employment Service. Sem
ator Henry F. Ashurst led the
fight to force the conference
committee of the Senate to stand
by its agreement to appropriate
$400, 900 in order that these agen-
cies might be maintained. To-
ward the close Of running debate
lasting several hours, Senator
Ashurst said;
The expenses Of the Great
War before we are finally through
with the payment of all demands
will doubtless be $50, 900, 900, 900
or more. That is a vast sum.
1t was worth it to win the war.
We are secure and safe today.
Within a very short time we will
again be pursuing our daily
course, and the Great War will
be history. A gorgeous, a brill
liant book in history, it will be,
wonderfully penciled. The valor
of our troops and the troops of
our allies will be recounted for
decades to come and will furnish
sufficient raw material for all the
poets, orators, historians and lee
turerS for century to come.
But to whom do we owe the
safety we now enjoy? To whom
should we turn with our thanks
for this safety? Surely we must
NOT forget that the soldier in the
trench had some part in this vic
tory. 1t may be that we cannot
give him a farm when he returns
and finds his former position oc-
cupied by some one else. We
are unable to pay him bonus of
81, 600 or 81, 800. It may be that
he will not want it. In fact,
think the soldier would resent
the idea Of seeing gifts ladled
out to him. The soldier is not an
lobject of charity. He is a man;
he has proved himself to be a
man. So when the soldier of the
Great War comes home and pro-
ceeds to the place where there
was an employment Office when
he left and finds that in his alb
sence Congress has stricken out
the only agency to which he
could go and through which he
could obtain a situation, he will
get a sample of the proverbiaI
ingratitude of republics.
Il want this republic to be q
grateful republic, not patroniz.
ing republic; not grateful ir
words alone, but one that will
say: We can not feed you; yoU
do not want to be fed; all you
can ask and all you do ask is 6
free field and a fair fight; all yor
want is an opportunity with youl
Drawn and your muscle and youl
tools to earn a living. You haC
a right to ask that the govern
ment give you information as tt
where work may be secured.
The soldier will be satisfied with
no less than that. More thar
THAT, in my judgement, the
soldier will not ask.
Graham guardian., 1919-08-15

The first thing the republican
majority in Congress knows the
people will begin to demand an
investigation of the investigators
who are spending time and money
to discover why wars are expen-
sive, while at the same moment
one set of republicans in the SEN
ate are opposing the League of
Nations and inviting further con-
hicts.
Graham guardian., 1919-08-15

Perhaps the numerous Con-
gressional investigations" into
the conduct of the war are after
all only designed to satisfy re-
publican curiosity as to how the
democratic administration could
achieve SO magnificent a success
in spite of the G. 0. P.'s persis-
tent opposition.

A GOOD PROPOSITION


Sunday base ball games will
soon become as unpopular in Gra-
ham county as in the large cities
of the East and Middle West,
and this will be accomplished
principally through the efforts OF
the Mormon people, who have
now gone on record at the quar-
terly conference of st. Joseph
Stake, as being opposed to the
desecration of the Sabbath Day
by the playing of ball games or
or any other kind of sports.
The Mormon people go a little
further than any other class of
citizenship by declaring for a
weekly half holiday, on which
ball games and programs of ath-
letic sports of all kinds could be
held instead of Sunday after
noon, and have fixed Friday of
each week, beginning at LOOP IN,
M, and to start next Friday,
August 22d, when the entire
valley will celebrate the first half
holiday nv attending the bali
game and sports to be staged ut
Stafford.
There is no doubt but that the
Methodist and Baptist Churches
will heartily support the new
movement to observe Sunday as
a day of worship and rest. That
is really what God intended the
Sabbath Day for.
By establishing a weekly half
holiday from April to October, a
splendid opportunity is afforded
for the organization of an ath-
letic union for the valley. to in
clude bali games, athletic spol Is.
basket ball games. foot ball
games. ETC., not only for young
men, but for young women as
well, also boys and girls. Healthy
sports are fine training and
a weekday afternoon is particu-
larly suitable for such events and
there is no good reason for any
farmer or business man in the
valley being opposed to half
holiday on a week day unless it
would be that Saturday afternoon
would be preferable to Friday
afternoon for most businesses.
Sunday ball games here have
not been profitable, as far as
gate receipts are concerned. In
fact, they have been poorly at
tended, but there was no other
afternoon when the players could
get away from work and indulge
in the national pastine. But, if
a half holiday is granted on Fri
day or Saturday afternoon, and
preferably on Saturday after
noon, the players then will have
the opportunity for their favor
ite sport and there will be nc
good reason for ball games or any
other kind of sports on the Sab.
bath Day.
In the end, business men will
find that the half holiday during
the hot summer months will turn
out to be a profitable proposition,
the same as has been experienced
elsewhere in the country.
Graham guardian., 1919-08-15

which the Republicans promised,
they have done worse than moth
ing. They have not merely failed
to act-by pickering and jealous
les among themselves they have
made affirmative action impos-
sible. Great measures of recon-
struction for the adoption of
which the special session was
called have either been defeated
or allowed to go without the
slightest consideration.
Legislation for the railroads,
the passage of the reclamation
act, the adoption of a program for
the development of water power,
the reorganization of the army,
the establishment of a budget
system, the outlining of a mari
time policy, the abolition of lux
ury taxes, the safeguarding of
immigration, the protection of
American industries brought in
to being by the war, notably the
manufacture of dyestuffs all
these are in the catalogue of re-
publican omissions.
The recess may bring the re-
publican leaders of the House OF
Representatives surcease from
the heat of summer, but their
culpable neglect and incompe-
tence as the country's Irresponsible
Legislators will expose them to
the heat of popular indignation.

Republicans have always re-
garded high prices as great bless
ings. From this viewpoint the
present excessive cost of living
would appear to be a notable
benediction. Is that why the re-
publican majority hesitates to
move against the profteers?

ERA OF ASIATIC
CHAOS FORECAST
BY EARL CURz0N
Very Pessimistic Over Out
look, Particularly in
Persia; Cannot Pacify
Europe.

London, Sept. 20.-Great Britain's
treaty with Persia does not consti-
tute a protectorate of the latter
country, any object of the agree
ment being to insure Persia an op-
portunity to work out her destiny
as an independent country, said Earl
Curzon, government leader in the
House of Lords at dinner here
yesterday. The speaker admitted
there had been misunderstanding of
the treaty, but there were no
grounds for suspicion.
An era "of chaos" was forecast
by Earl Curzon, who declared it
would be some time before stability
would be restored in the regions
formerly dominated by Russia.
Both Are Interested.
when we speak of the independ-
ence of Persia" Earl Curzon said,
II contend that the independence of
Persia is = British as we'll as a Per-
sian interest Indeed. our main in
terest in Persia is its independence.
We do not want Persia to be mere
buffer against our enemies. We
want her to be a bulwark for the
peace of the world, and l can as
sure our guests they need have no
fears upon that point. We shall
respect the independence of their
country.
Asia Faces Chaos.
IF l attempt to forecast the fuz
ture, nothing seems to me in this era
of confusion and chaos to be more
certain than that time of great
trouble and unforeseen development
imperils the continent of Asia. l
doubt very much whether as re-
suit of the war we shall succeed in
pacifying Europe, but whether we
do so or not, l am quite certain we
shall not for some time secure sta
bility in Asia. The breakup of the
two great empires of Russia and
Turkey has left a vacuum in this
area which it will take a great deal
to fill with orderly settled elements. !"
