SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 31.-Cer tain tribes of Indians on reservations in Utah have been almost decimated by the influenza epidemic. according to unconfirmed reports reaching the State Board of Health here.

ELECTRICIANS DEFEAT TREADWELL STORE TEAM
 BY MARGIN OF ONE PIN

TREADWELL. Jan. 31.-Interest was very keen on the Treadwell al leys Hast night. when the teams from the Electrical Department and the Treadwell Store met on' the Tread we'll alleys to roll their turn in the present tournament.
 The "wire-pullers" won over the counter jumpers by the narrow margin of one pin, the electricians getting a total of 2,133 to the Store 2,132. Gabe Paul was kept busy all forenoon today explaining why that one pin didn't fall. Of course it was g split and a "wiggle," but the pin remained standing. so the score sheets record two defeats for this week.
 Following is the score of both teams by innings

It's Now Governor Shoup.

On Tuesday the newly elected state
officials were inaugerated into office
and we now have q new governor in
the person of Oliver II. Shoup. The
Governor has thus far in life been one
of those happy gentlemen whose
smile never wears off, but if he can
live through two years in the guber-
Material chair of Colorado and still
maintain that title he will be a wond-
er. We have great faith in the good
sense, ability and integrity of our new
ly made governor, and believe If any
one is equal to the job he can succeed
in living down the bad reputation the
office has maintained as a political
graveyard. The Denver Post has al
ready served warning on him to
look out, but he had the courage to
refuse their invitation to the "Rcd
Room" after his nomination and their
present warning will probably be fol-
lowed by the same sort of abuse they
poured out on him then. Unlike the
governors they have abused in the
past eight years they can lay no claims
to having elected him.

The Menace Of Bolshevism

Whatever truth or untruth there
may be in the reports from Berlin, it
is much to be hoped that the forces
that stand for orderly government will
triumph. II is a matter of as great
Importance to us, and to the rest of
Germany's opponents, as it is to Ger
many itself. that Bolshevism be sup
pressed in that country. No doubt
there are many among us who would
say "it serves them right; let the Boil
sheviki reign there" but there is n
much larger question involved than the
suffering Of Germany by its own dis
orders. Looking at the matter from
the standpoint of self-interest alone,
our interest as well as the interest Of
all civilization, it is essential that a
government of law and of obedience
to law be established in Germany. 1t
is essential, first, for material reasons.
Germany must pay for its deliberate
and wanton destruction. Justice de-
mands this, even that perfectly bal
anced justice that would give to Ger
many every proper opportunity for its
own ultimate restoration to a place of
respect among the nations, the Justice,
that is, that seeks not vengeance but
reparation. But Germany cursed by
the anarchy of Bolshevism could pay
nothing. Its whole program is so in
evitably destructive Of all industry, its
theory and practice so opposed to all
principles of honor, that no hope Of
reparation under its regime would be
justified. 1t could not pay if it would,
and it would not pay if it could.
But there is n moral consideration
much larger than the material. Boil
shevism. is q plague. a disease, spring
ing like all plaques from the filth and
the iniquities of ignorance. But hav-
ing developed, it spreads, sending forth
its evil germs to infect society wher-

sia, it has turned that land into a
waste Of horrors; but geographical
boundaries are no bar to its extension.
All Europe is more or less contaminat-
ed by it, and even in America its germs
are being disseminated by organized
propaganda. We cannot believe that
it can grow in the free air of this
country. but the danger exists, here as
everywhere. The enlightened nations
of Europe fear it, and with reason. II
is an insidious foe that works in the
darkness. concealing its virulence. as
all plaques do, until it has fixed itself
in the veins Of the people. No form of
autocracy is so antagonistic to democ-
racy, no enemy to liberty so dangerous.
For in the name Of liberty it appeals
to the ear, in the name Of freedom it
appeals to the passions, in the name
Of human rights II appeals to the
