U. S. Tires Big
Sellers Abroad

American tires are keeping step
in popularity in foreign lands with
American automobiles. Last year
the United States Tire Company sent
its product to forty countries scat
tered throughout the world. The re-
moval OF shipping restrictions is ex-
pected to result in adding twenty
five or thirty countries to the list
during the current year.
A few days ago an Iceland auto
mobile paid d visit to the New
York Office OF the United States Tire
company and ordered full tire equip
ment for fifty cars. He said that
this brand OF tire was regarded as
the quality brand" in his country.
Turning to the southern hemis-
phere, II is noted that a recent issue
OF La Nacion. the leading newspaper
OF Santiago. Chill. carried half page
article telling OF the wonderful per-
Torrance OF Scripps Booth car in
a test run OF 1899 kilometers over
the mountain roads OF that coun-
try,
At the conclusion OF the run the
driver remarked; II must mention
that during the entire run from Con-
cepcion to CoQuimbo--a distance OF
about 1900 miles--we had only one
puncture. The tires were United
States Royal Cords and we think II
our duty to speak of their quality"
While this approval for the popu-
lar American tire is being given in
the far south and distant north, unu-
sual testimonials are given from the
tropics, where long tire life is gener-
ally regarded as impossible because
OF high temperatures. One United
States tire in Manila has already
given 5000 miles on a heavy gar
age car, Another went 10,1OO miles
without being taken Off the wheel.

Almost One Million

Failure OF Congress to require al
len slackers to serve in the recent
war will constitute one OF the black
est pages In the history of America s
war preparations. according to an ar
ticle on "The Sacred Alien Stacker
by Representative Roscoe C. McCui-
Tough OF Ohio in the current issue
OF The American Legion Weekly.
The American Legion is supporting
the Johnson bill now before Con-
|gress which provides for deportation
of enemy aliens interned during the
war and which prohibits such aliens
from ever re-entering the United
States after they have been deport-
ed.
Almost two million aliens we q
not only free from military service
but were slackers OF the worst Sort
writes Mr.. Mccullough. Probably
the greatest injustice that was dor Q
the American soldier in the war was
the fact that alien slackers were al
lowed to go'free from military SER
vice. II was conceded that aliens
owing allegiance 10 enemy eoul-
tries should not be taken into the
military service of the United States.
1t was also conceded that aliens n
neutral countries should not be re
CURED to serve, But why the eper-
gency should have passed without
requiring aliens who owed allegiance
to co-belligerent countries to serve IS
almost beyond comprehension.
"That the exempting OF aliens had
bad effect in various communities
especially industrial communities, Is
evidenced by the fact that complaints
were constantly being made by draft
boards and by citizens OF the con-
duct OF the alien Stacker after he

would paralyze the nation if their de-
mands were not granted. Now they sup
port their demands for an additional
wage increase of billion dollars and
government ownership of the railroads
under plan they have evolved, with sim
liar threats of a nation wide strike. 1t
is an embarrassing time for the govern
ment, with the Senate in the midst of the
treaty debate, with Congress tackling the
high cost of living and facing all the 9TH
err problems of reconstruction period. But
there is one thing the brotherhoods have
overlooked. When three years ago the
administration and Congress yielded to
their demands at the point of pistol, the
railroads were privately owned. Now
they are under government control, and
the government would be compelled in
the case of strike to assert its author
ity, even to the use of its full military
forces, to move the mails and keep the
railroads in operation. The threat that
went before will not go now The govern
ment is in more secure position than it
was three years ago, but it was a bad
precedent which was then set If legisla-
ton is to be the product of intimidation
and threat, what is the use of Congress?
1t was President Wilson who yielded to
threats three years ago, and only recent
ly the President has decided that the rail
roads be returned to their owners Janu-
airy first. 1t is this recommendation that
is followed by the declaration of railroad
employees that they are Sin no mood to
brook the return of the lines to their for
mer control The Telegraph and telephone
lines have just been returned to their own
ers after period of government opera
ton generally admitted to be a failure in
every respect. Government operation of
the railroads has meant higher rates and
poorer service than ever before With
these experiences fresh in mind, the pub
lie is in no mood to have the extra cost

government ownership permanently sad

SENATOR SMOOT, THEODORE
ROOSEVELT AND THE BOOK
OF MORMON


OF MORMON
Since Senator Smoot has called the at
tention of the people to the real facts IN
the case, in the matter of the efficacy OF
the league of nations, and has clearly
shown that it will not prevent wars, and
at the same time shown up some OF the
mammoth monstrosities in the document,
it is interesting to not how Sen. Smoot
Theodore Roosevelt and the Book of Nor
mon all agree with each other.
All who have watched the course OF
Senator Smoot during his long term as a
public servant know that he has attained
the high place he holds in the estimation
of the biggest and brainiest men of the ma
ton through hard work and honest eff
fort. All know that he never Jumps at
conclusions, but arrives at conclusions
only after the most thorough research
and study. His honesty has never been
questioned, even by his enemies, and his
Judgment has universally been commend
ed after his case has been subri,tted. His
recent exposition of his stane on the pro-
posed league of nations is SO clear and
convincing that it is receiving commenda-
ton of great many who have hitherto
been against the Senator ON account OF
his stand on the matter. His letter was
a master stroke that was delivered at
the right time, and it is fast bearing fruit.
That his stand is in complete harmony
with the position and teachings of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, that greatest of all Am
orleans in his day, is evident from the fol-
lowing from Mr.. Roosevelt, taken from
his article, "The Great Adventure"
There is no limit to the great
ness of the future before America,
before our beloved land. But we
can realize it only if we are Ameri-
cans, if we are nationalists, with
all the fervor of our hearts and all
the wisdom of our brains. We can
serve the world at all only if we
serve America first and best. We
must work along our own national
lines in every field of achievement.
We must feel in the very marrow
of our being that our loyalty is due
only to America, and that it is not
diluted by loyalty for any other
nation or all other nations on the
face of the earth. Only thus shall
we fit ourselves really to serve 9th
er nations, to refuse ourselves to
wrong them, and to refuse to let
them do wrong or suffer wrong
That both Senator Smoot and Theodore
Roosevelt are in complete harmony with
the Book of Mormon is evident from the
stand taken by Senator Smoot, and the
teachings of Theodore Roosevelt, when
compared with the following from the
Book of Mormon:
Behold this is choice land and what
soever nation shall possess it shall be free
from bondage and from captivity and
FROM ALL OTHER NATIONS UNI
DER HEAVEN, and if they will but
serve the god of the land, who is Jesus
Christ, who hath been manifested by the
things which we have written. Ether,
Chapter 2, Verse H.
Clearly it looks like some of our
brethren had better touch up on scripture
and catch UP with Senator Smoot and
Theodore Roosevelt

COURAGE

Courage! Whatever the last Congress
showed of cowardice in meeting the
threat of Four Railroad Brotherhood
leaders to tie up the nations transporta-
ton, the present Congress shows that it
does OF propose to be in the same class.
Mr.. Rlanton of Texas, a conspicuous
leader on the Democratic side, discussing
the recent demand of the Brotherhoods
for billion increase in wages, under
threat OF q national strike, which threat
we are glad to see that Mr.. Stone with
drew, said: "Now is the time for the tail
to quit wagging the dog. Congress must
quit trucking and being held up by
threats. This extra one billion will come
out of the pockets of the people annual
ly. Such procedure might solve the high
cost of living problems for the railroad
employees, but it would leave the people
in one he'll of fix" In similar but
less vehement strain, Representative
Webster, Republican from the state of
Washington, now serving his first term
said: 81 want it plainly understood that
l will not be dominated or coerced by any
threat, however vaguely conveyed. of
what organized labor will try to do to
me if | don't do as it says. l challenge
the right of organized labor to intimidate
me-" The news report states that this
expression of courageous independence
was followed by "a burst of applause that
startled the ROOM" Those who, at this
time threaten to tie up the railroads or
any other great industry or who predict
that panic will follow, if they cannot
have their way, as Mr.. Stone did, are as
selfish as they are npatrotic.-Leslie's.

Cost Of Artificial
Limbs Is Increasing

Like everything else, the price OF
artificial limbs has gone up very con-
siderably of late years. Time was
when man who had lost leg went
to the village carpenter and was fitted
with u wooden one at a cost of SOW
oreign or so. And wooden arm oj
the Captain Cutie variety, with an
iron hook at the end, could be had at
about the same price.
The modern artificial leg or arm
however, is a complicated and ingen,-
Gus piece Of mechanism and the cost
has risen proportioRatel
at from S75 to sl25 apiece and arm
at from $50 upwards. One type OF
