The prompt and liberal response
of Mormon communities to the Ma
tion's call for concerted and deter
mined effort in the world crisis Is
very generally known, thanks to the
generous liberality Of the press and
the commendabse freedom fostered
by the potent spirit of the times.
Liberty Bond quotas, Red Cross ap-
portionments, War Savings allot
ments. all have been largely over
subscribed in every Mormon city,
town ana hamlet In addition to
the generous contributions OF its
members as individuals, the Church
as a body has devoted three quar-
ters of a million dollars to Liberty
Bond purchases, and this was done
on unanimous vote of the member
ship in general conference assem-
bled.
But beyond all contributions meas
ured in terms of money, is the un-
hesitating response of men, who have
Ieaped to their places in the ranks
by thousands for the hundreds ask
ed. Offering their lives in pledge OF
patriotic devotion.
In this ready and whole-souled CO.
operation the Mormon people claim
neither re-eminence nor special
credit They have tried TO do their
part in common with the mighty
citizenry of our land. All classes
in Utah and adjacent States are
working shoulder to shoulder with
out distinction as to former nation
atty or present creed.
In addition TO the imperative de-
mands of citizenship to which the
Latter-day Saints have responded
with unsurpassed devotion and zeal,
our people considered duty In the
world crisis as requirement >of
their religious profession. We had
particular concern in the outcome
of the great conflict, for we solemn
ly proclaim that to this Church has
been given the Divine appointment
to preach the restored Gospel OF
Jesus Christ in all the world; and
the discharge of this high commits
sion is possible in it's entirety only
as free speech, liberty Of conscience
and a free press are insured among
the nations.
The frightful war forced upon lib
erty-loving peoples was a belated
attempt on the part Of Lucifer to
try anew the issue on which he was
defeated in the primevsl world as
the Scriptures attest. His plan Of
compulsion. by which every soul
would be bereft OF agency, was re-
jected in the council of the heavens,
and the plan OF liberty and indi-
vidual freedom was adopted, with
Jesus Christ as the foreordained Re-
deemer of the race.
The decision brought war. and
Lucifer and his hordes were cast out
upon the earth. In these last days
that same Lucifer, or Satan, as he
is now known. has operated through
those who were ready to do his

AGAINST RooSE-
WELT HIGHWAY

man from the east part OF the
county was in town the other day, and
the conversation drifted around to
good roads. He expressed himself as
in favor OF good roads, but stated that
he did not expect to vote for the Roose.
welt Highway. When asked as to his
reasons for not supporting this meas.
ure, he said, that living way off the
route Of the highway like he did It
wouldn't do him any good"
Now that is where he made the big
gest mistake OF his life. The Roose.
welt Highway will help him, as well
rs every one else in the county. How?
The Roosevelt highway will traverse
the county from the north to the south,
the entire length. nearly fifty miles.
This road will be built and maintained
by the government. The county will
be relieved OF all expense in connect.
ion Herewith. Once the Roosevelt
highway is built the government pays
this upkeep. and the county will have
its money to build roads In the east
part OF the county. etc. So remember
and don't bite off your nose 20 spite
your face.
