SEEK REAL AMERICAN

The nearer we get to the campaign of
1920, the more evident it becomes that
the people of this country will have no
patience with leaders of a pussy-foot,
fence-straddling, vacillating variety.
Those who are not for America first all
the time are not dependably for her any
of the time. Those who are for class leg
islation any Of the time are against equal
ity under law all the time. Those who are
afraid to speak their convictions when
speaking requires courage, are too cow
ardly to be the authorized leaders of a
hundred million Americans. This coun-
Try is looking earnestly looking-for a
leader who combines in his personality
unquestioned integrity, unlimited courage
demonstrated native ability, approved ex-
perience in national affairs, and construc-
tiveness enough to outline program for
American national development. There
will be no unknown quantity at the head
of the Republican ticket in 1920.

awards in compensation cases TO sos
for total temporary disability and
500 for total permanent disability.
The present compensation payments
are based on a rate of $40 per month
for total disability, whether temper
airy or permanent. and are believed
TO be wholly inadequate.
4. An increase in the period of au-
tomato insurance which provides
that any person who entered the SER
vice prior TO November IL, 1917. is
automatically insured for 40 days
after entrance into active service.
In addition to these changes all
ready embodied in the Sweet bill,
the American Legion will advocate
one other amendment. This amend
ment, which is considered of vital
importance especially for the soldier
sailor or marine Of small means,
would permit of lump sum payments
for the present government term in
surance as we'll as for government
insurance which has been converted
into other forms. This would en-
able n man who cannot afford now
TO convert his war insurance, which
is effective for five years after his
discharge. TO have the same advan-
tages of lump sum payment as the
man who is able to convert his insur-
ance Immediately.
Two Of these proposed changes,
the increase in the class of benefit
Charles and the payment of convert
ed insurance in one lump sum or ov-
er a shorter period than the present
240 monthly installments, have been
advocated by ex service men for
many months, and were proposed in
resolutions adopted by the st. Louis
caucus OF the American Legion. 1t
is only recently, however, that IL has
been possible to get legislative action
started on them.

FREEDOM FOR FREE MEN

BY Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
The United States is the worlds best
hope, but if you fetter her in the inter-
ests and quarrels of other nations, if you
tangle her in the intrigues of Europe, you
will destroy her power for good and en-
danger her very existence. Leave her to
march freely through the centuries to
come as in the years that have gone.
Strong, generous and confident, she has
nobly served mankind. Beware how you
trifle with her marvellous iheritance, this
great land Of ordered liberty, for if we
stumble and fall freedom and civilization
everywhere will go down in ruin. Our
ideal of the future is that she should con-
tinue to render that service of her own
free will. She has great problems of her
own to solve very grim and perilous pro-
blems, and right solution, if we can at
tain to it. would largely benefit mankind.
We would not have our politics distracted
and embittered by the dissensions of 9TH
er lands. We would not have our coun-
try's vigor exhausted, or her moral force
abated, by everlasting meddling and mud
ding in every quarrel, great and small,
which afflicts the world. Our ideal is to
make her stronger and better and finer,
because in that way alone, as we believe,
can she be Of the greatest service to the

RARE BRAND OF ETHICS

A discharged soldier in New York City
returned his silver victory button to
recruiting officer saying that he wasn't
entitled to it. The silver button is given
to those who were wounded. The soldier
said he wasn't wounded but had trouble
with one of his feet in France and was
forced to have an operation performed.
That was ALL No doubt the trouble"
with his loot came from heavy marching
which would have been avoided if he had
not been in the army. But this man was
honest. How many of those who fought
at desk jobs through the courtesy of Sec
rotary Baker, and received medals from
him after the signing of the armistice,
have been reported as having returned
medals because they hadn't earned them?

STRADDLE BUG AGAIN

The Salt Lake Tribune is Stlll at us own
game. For a long time it has been play
ing the role of the straddle bug, one day
iauding President Taft, the next day bow
ing at the feet of President Wilson, the
next day Gliding the U. S. Senate, and
the next day making weak attempt to
admit that the Senate has some rights UNI
der the constitution.
Its latest effort is to attempt to hook
Senator Knox up with the Germans. 1T
has been long on yelling propaganda, and
has manifested disposition that every
body is wrong, pro-German and dispen-
ser of propaganda except President Will
son, ex-President Taft and the Tribune.
But the very latest is surely on the Tri-
bune. For some time it has been adver-
Using General Ludendorff's story of the
great war. The advance sheets were pre-
sented to the Deseret News and without
doubt to every other large daily paper
but did not strike victim until the strad-
die bug was approached. The Tribunt
bought the story and advertised its publ
cation. A few days ago Senator Cham
berlain arose in the Senate and said he
hopedno self respecting paper would pub
lish the story, and Senator Lodge imme-
diately arose and seconded the statement
of the Oregon Senator The Tribune see
ing the predicament it had been placed in
at once declared "Of course if it is pro-
German or otherwise detrimental to the
best interests of the country, it will not
appear in the columns of this paper"
Don't it make you smile. Who is to de-
monstrate to the Tribune that it is pro-
German, or otherwise detrimental? Evil
IDENTIFY the Tribune expects the German
general to write truly American story,

methods of warfare One would think
the Tribune but about two years old.
A few issues ago the Tribune adver-
tised that the first part of the story had
arrived and was being translated. Evil
IDENTIFY the latter part had not arrived,
and even the first part had not been read.
This act OH the part of the Tribune is
about the same as its attitude on the
League Of Nations. 1t wants the senate
to take President Wilson'S word for, to
pass it without consideration, or to vote
for it and inquire into the reasons after
That is about what the Tribune did on
the Ludendorff story, apparently.

JOINT NOW

JOINT NOW
There is little doubt but that every citi-
zen in Logan is more or less interested IN
the growth of our city, but many fail to
realize Just what steps are necessary to
develop such growth. We believe there are
many who have the notion that somehow
the growth of place from town to a
city will take care Of itself. Cities left to
grow as "Topsy" did, usually remain
towns, and not infrequently they revert
back to villages, at least in commercial
way.
We believe the history Of every town in
the United States which has attained any
commercial Importance, shows that from
the start it had an organization of Give
wires," boosting it first, last and always
using the telegraph, the telephone the
mails, printers ink, and every other con-
ceivable way to receive recognition; win
ming conventions, meetings and excur-
sions that are often unique and frequent
ly spectacular, all of which are designed
to keep its name and possibilities in big
letters before the public. So general has
been this method of promotion that when
ever town remains silent, it often fails
to attract home seekers, investors and
capital that means so much to any thriv-
ing community.
Logan already suffers under this judg
ment to some extent because our citizens
in the past have been what might be
termed afflicted with contentment. Con-
tentment, of course is an ideal condition,
but too often lacks ambition.
And so the Republican can offer no
better advice to our citizens than that
each one take it upon himself to lend lit
tie energy toward helping those who are
striving to make Logan bigger and
better place in which to live. At this
time our Commercial club is expend-
ing no little amount of energy in desire
to increase it's membership, which means
to add new life to our beautiful city. We
all know that large energetic CONNER
cial organization is the first requisite of
thriving community. Let's not only keep
Logan on the map, but make it of such
prominence that we will get her talked
about with such favor that the man who
wants his family educated, the man who
is looking for beautiful wide awake
residence city and the man with capital
and ambition will all come here and help
us in our efforts to make him glad for
having come. These things are necessary
and we want our citizens not only to think
about them, but to act, by first joining
our commercial club.

War Risk Insurance

Changes of major importance in

embodied in the Sweet bill which It

state branch and local post will be
requested to press upon its congress-
men and senators the passage OF this
bill.
The four important amendments
to the War Risk act proposed in the
