right now is the time to act on this

INFLUENZA WARNING

A PROFESSIONAL man of Cedar
"A City calls our attention to the
report that influenza has made it's ap-
pearance in the northern cities of the
State, particularly Salt Lake and Og-
den, and sounds note of warning
against people of this section flocking
there again this year as they did last
to the state fair and other attractions.
without first obtaining reliable infor-
nation regarding the situation. "You
know how our epidemic started here
last year, that it was brought home
by people attending the State Fair
and conference, and what time we
had to get rid Of it, There is no nee
essity for people exposing us to this
danger, and l think they should keep
away from places where the contagion
exists, and not have everything tied
up and business paralyzed again this
winter"
While The Record is anxious to see
the State Fair, Conference and other
state activities encouraged and patron
lied, we believe that the warning of
the professional man Is wise. We
cannot be too careful, and right now
it would be well to get into cores
pondence. with the State Health Board
or other reliable authorities and as
certain the true status of the disease
in the north. 1t is useless and silly
to depend for information upon the
Salt Lake papers. We know what
they did last year. Mum as an oyster
until the Fair was about over, and
then they blared forth In glaring head
lines that influenza was present in
the city. At the same time nearly ev-
cry hotel in the city was hot-bed
for the disease and it was carried back
to practically every city and town in
the state. OF course the papers mere
! ly rejected the attitude of the bust
ness interests of Salt Lake City, who
were afraid If the truth were known
it would diminish their receipts. This
year it is up to the people of the out
lying communities to know the truth
before they subject themselves to an
other siege of this dread disease.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

NJ EVER, since the signing Of the
~ Declaration of independence, has
there been document up for consid-
GRAFTON by the people of this country
of so much consequence as the Paris
Peace treaty, including the agreement
for a League of Nations to enforce
world peace. The question is receiv-
ing the serious consideration of the
great minds of the nation, and there
are able arguments for and against
the agreement.
For anyone who has not made mi.
mute and exhaustive study OF the in
strument as drawn to presume to say
whether or not the treaty should be
signed and ratified by the United
States Senate is but idle and silly
but it is great question which con.
Germs us all, and ought to be studied
and understood by the rank and flC
of the people. Also the opinions OF
our best statesmen should be read anC
considered. Senator Reed Smoot o.
Utah is recognized by the country Al
large to be one of the foremost advo
Gates of protection principles in tn,

serious objection and danger to tn,
ratification of the treaty as submitted
Iron County record. [volume] (Cedar City, Utah) 1893-1982, 1919-08-29

without first being amended. One Of
the defects pointed out in the treaty
in a lengthy letter to Editor Lund of
Mt. Pleasant, which is published in
full in these columns, is the discrim-
nation in the matter of representa-
ton of the United States in the inter-
national council, as compared with
that of Great Britain. To concede six
or seven votes to England to our one,
would be suicidal on our part and
would make of the United States a
small tail which England and the ma
tions she directly and indirectly con-
trolls could wag at will. The majority
of the u. S. Senators are insisting
that the United States be given equal
representation with Great Britain if
the treaty is to be ratified, a conten-
ton which appears to us quite proper
and right.
Like all other great questions, how
ever, there are two sides to it, and we
will publish in our columns articles
by Pres. Taft Of the League in Amer
lea, and other leading advocates of
the League, and leave our readers to
draw their own deductions.
The editor of The Record aclmowl-
edges receipt of the following letter
which explains itself and shows the
Importance that is attached to this
matter by the leading men of our own
as well as all other states in the
Union:
Salt Lake City, Utah, August rs
1919. Mr.. Chas. S. Wilkinson, Cedar
City, Utah, Dear Friend.-All who
advocate the Covenant of the League
of Nations as well as those who op-
pose it in its present shape, agree
that no more important document has
been framed since the adoption of our
Constitution. Some assert it will, in
great measure, put an end to war;
others, that it will breed war. Some
assert it. means surrender of Ameri-
can sovereignty, while others assert
that it commits to foreign tribunal
the determination of the country's do
nestle problems such, for example, as
immigration and the tariff; others
that it is worded with painstaking &C
curacy to prevent this very thing.
Some assert that it will for ever in
volve us in every broil throughout the
world; others, that it's very purpose
is to curb the conflicts that sway man.
kind. Whatever ones individual opin-
ion may be, no one will deny that the
Hateful consequences which will follow
on the one hand it's adoption, or on the
other, it's rejection, demand its care
full and dispassionate study at the
hands of all thoughtful citizens. 1t
is evident that thousands are paying
no attention to its provisions. Indeed
those who have given it close and log
ical scrutiny are unfortunately too
few. In this as in every other prob
lem of transcendent Importance, the
intellectual classes must take the
lead. We accordingly invite your
presence at the Salt Lake Tabernacle
Tuesday, September 2, at p, M, at
which time Major j. Reuben Clark, of
New York City, formerly chief legal
advisor to the Secretary of State and
| to the President on matters of inter
national law, will discuss in a non
partisan way what he considers are
grave objections not alone to the
Covenant itself but to other parts OF
the Peace Treaty as well.
Respectfully,
CHARLES w. NIBLEY.

seventeen years old this month. In
October, 1902, the International Anti
tuberculosis Association, then meeting
in Berlin, adopted the cross as the
emblem of the worldwide fight against
tuberculosis. 1t was proposed by DR..
G. Sersiron, of Paris. It Is a COM
bination of the Croix de Lorraine and
the cross Of the Greek Catholic
church. Both crosses are symbolic of
charity and help to humanity. Their
combined features were selected and
adopted as the symbol of the hope Of
civilization. Four years later, in 1906
the double barred Red Cross was car
ried into this country. It was in 1905,
the National Tuberculosis Association
was formed, and for the three inter-
vening years the cross has been car
