Box Elder about it and he said the Com

on to the road supervisors. That is like

ing the son, the son pinching the daugh-
ter, the daughter scalding the dog and the
dog biting the cat. After all the man was
to blame just as the Commissioners are to
blame and responsible for the deplorable
condition Of this road. We are sorry to
find it necessary to say this, but not half
as sorry as we are to be forced to ride ov-
err such road, and we hope the Commits
sioners of Box Elder County will please
wake up and see that some work is done
on their end of the road We trust no
offense will be taken and we feel safe in
saying that if such conditions maintained

AGAIN HE MADE GOOD

The scene was a downtown corner
about midnight. Down the street came a
cold wind laden with rain. On a box. di-
rectly under fire alarm box, sat two Boy
Scouts, sharing a single blanket. They
were on guard at that particular box.
Hundreds OF people passed. Some smiled
approvingly at these plucky chaps. The
smile of others was not so pleasant or re-
assuring. But it may be noticed that
while those two pairs of ebert eyes were
tnere, and those good memories on the
JOB, nobody meddled with that particular
box during the tenser moments of the
firemen's strike"
The scene on that particular corner was
duplicated literally on hundreds OF other
corners in the city. The Scouts stuck to
their posts as long as they were ordered
TO stick. Some of them were very par
d0nably nervous, and not without reason.
Inc environment in which they found
themselves was often inhospitable. But
these plucky lads remembered what the
Scout book says about courage, and so
they sat tight night and day, in rain and
In shine about their little campfires.
The community owes to these lads
vote OF thanks. In the language of the
day, the have "come through clean" In
more than one urgent demand, not only
upon their willingness to serve, but upon
their grit and stamina. Every right
thinking man and woman will give the

Our government would not be intim-
idated b. such an eventuality, for Bolshe-
vism has little chance of success in a coun-
try which is far from bankrupt and where
our industrial civilization has triumphed
both in war and peace. At the worst it
would simply be contest to suppress
comparatively small number of fractions
men preaching European radicalism. The
chances are all in favor of gradual, sane
reconstruction through the medium of
the ballot box
In Europe the situation is different
how much different we can only conjec-
ture at this time. We know that Europe
is much less fit for the fight than is Am
erica. Enfeebled by war the European
nations-even the soundest of them-are
not in condition easily to throw off the
deadly bacilli of Bolshevism.
Anther proposal is to Hooverize Rus
STA. Relief is to be organized through a
neutral nations which shall assume the
responsibility of sending foodstuffs and
raw materials into Russia and distribut-
ing them and thus feed and provide work
for millions now starving and idle. 1t is
said that Lenine has promised the peace
council that if this policy is adopted and
foreign troops are withdrawn he will stop
hostilities. If he carries out his part of
the program it will be merely suspen-
sion of hostilities, followed by a period
of propaganda and finally by recudes-
cence of violence.
Sill another proposal is to withdraw al
lied troops from European Russia, draw
military Gordon from the Baltic to the
Black sea through Poland, Galicia and
Rumania and intensity the economic block
ade which is causing Lenine's govern
ment such difficulties.
But all these political doctors shake
their heads solemnly and acknowledge
that the patient-Europe-is in a bad
way. -
Amid this chaos only two white coun-
tries remain sound to the core-Great
Britain and the United States. Is the
League of Nations to become simply an
Anglo-Saxon alliance?
Even should France, Italy, Spain and
two or three other European countries

Henry Ford's Weekly says the only ev-

Republican party once pledged it in order
to explain and justify our seizure of that
territory" How the Ford outfit does en-

not seize the Philippines, we acquired
them in accordance with the law of ma
tons, first, by driving their Spanish OPP
pressors out, and second, by paying for
them. Second our record in the Philip
pines, is by the admission of Senator
Hitchcock, the Democratic chairman of
the Senate committee on Foreign Affairs
