H DON'T KNOCK
H VJ KXT to the German Kaiser, the Knocker is
H the greatest enemy of mankind. And since
H the Kaiser is himself the prince of knockers, he
H really oflYrs no exception to this rule. There is
H nothing more harmful to a country or community
H than the practice of knocking. And the Strang
H thing about it is that the men who do the knocK-
H ing are frequently the greatest sufferers fr ri
PK their harmful and pernicious practices. Some men
H are knockers, without ever suspecting such to v-
H the case. They are of a pessimistic temperament
H themselves, and naturally look upon the dark side
H of every question. They are suspicious of every
H new move that is made and in their anxiety to
H display discernment and shrewdness, do much to
BBb disci m r.'itrc In met cmi1i:m iii-
H In this connection we are reminded of the re-
H murks of a very devout and enthusiastic church
H member whom we once heard speaking on the sub-
H ject of prophesy. After Citing several instances
H to prove the Divine inspiration of the prophetic
MB men he was defending, he said: "There are many
J other prophesies that I might mention. Some
H have been fulfilled and a great many are yet to be
H fulfilled. When we know of a prophesy that has
H been made, it should be the duty of all good Saints
H to use their efforts to have the prophesy fulfilled.
H In this way we can make our prophets true proph-
H Then .ire some, of course, who from a then-
H logical Standpoint would take issue with the old
H Patriarch who uttered the foregoing words, but
Hi .just the same there is a kernel of hard business
H sense involved, and one which we can apply with
H good results in many of our every-day problems.
Thus, when a man of affairs comes among us
and says that it is his intention to do certain things
81 that will be of very great value to us as a com-
H munity. instead of in effect saying "You are a
H grafter, a hot air peddler, and we'll bet hundred
81 dollars you don't,'' if we were to give him a cor-
dial reception and at least let him know that he
81 has our moral support, we would be very much
more likely to realize the desirable thing proposed.
H And if, being financially able, we should say,
8 "Well, I'll take a small chance with you, inasmuch
H as it is our community that will reap the greatest
888 benefits if the undertaking succeeds," the chances
BBS of success would lie very materially increased, in-j
BBS
B Nobody cares to invest money in a community
BBB of knockers. When a stranger comes into a town
BBB to Investigate a certain property or proposition,
H and tile Hist wise-acre lie meets starts telling him
888 that the proposition is without merit not worth
BBB a darn but winds up by telling him a certain
H other investment (in which he happens to be in
teres ted) Is tin- only thing worth while, the menial
H comment of the investor is that this is a very good
888 community to keep away from. People who knock
BBB tachother never accomplish anything, ami the man
BBB who Invests money among them Is nearly sure to
H rue his bargain.
Let us see if we cannot so comport ourselves
H that it can truthfully be said of Cedar City that
BB it is a community of boosters, and that there is
BBB not a single knocker here; (nor a married one,
H either, for that matter.)

fl MAKE THEM HELP
Xyl ANY sections of the country are becoming
I i l thoroughly awake to the injustice of allowing
H aliens to reap tiie benefits of war prosperity while
H refusing to acknowledge any duty to the land in
H which they are making such big money and which
H gives them protection they would not find at home
BE under present circumstances, says the News-Ad-
H VOCate, of Trice, Utah. The district around Tim
HB idad, Colo., is very similar to Carbon county and
HRfls
the Chronicle-News of that city, alive to the sit
uation, says:
There la throughout the country a growing
agitation aimed at conrcs to influence the pass
Sge of a law that will make alien lubjectl subject
to army service, 'flu modification of existing
treaties i- advocated that aliens he drafted into tin
national arms in time of war
The beat manhood of America is enlisting or
being called into the service The industries of
the country are being robbed of thousands of
necessary worker. In time to come if the war
is prolonged a period ol years, a condition sim
ilar to that of England and trance will develop
in America where the manhood left at home a ill
he the boys under military Sge and the old men,
men of all BgeS physically disabled or until for
service and the alien residents.
The aliens who came to America to take ad
vantage of better conditions than were to be had
in their own countries are enjoying all the liber
tics and privileges Of the American citizens, re
ceiving good wages and reaping in all respects thn
abundant prosperity of the country. Yet they are
not called upon to serve the country.
Naturally, this condition breeds antagonism
in localities where there is a large alien popula
Hon. The alien realizes that he is protected hv
all the laws in the same respect as an American
citizen. A great many of these aliens boast of
the fact that they are reaping the benefits of pros
perity whilst immune from military service and
this docs not set well with the average mcriean
Incipient disorders have taken place in various
Secdoni of the country over this particular thing.
The argument fs that it is manifestly fair that
the alien, if he is given all the privileges and rights
of the citizen save that of the franchise shall
stand on the same footing with the native horn
or naturalized American citizen in relation to mil
itary service.

SMOOT'S RATIONAL BILL
INCREDIBLE! That vigorous Democratic sup-
porter of President Wilson, the New York
World, denounces the War Tax Law passed at the
special session as a piece of "bad work." It says
that "a law that cannot be understood is funda
mentally wrong. There is no reason why a tax of
I any kind should be a mnttetr of guesswork. No
i body is resisting war taxes, but they ought to be
I plainly as v611 as fairly written in the fewest and
simplest words." Our coritemporary calls atten
tion to the bill introduced by Senator Smoot of
I Utah and speaks of it as "a carefully prepared bill
I to amend and simplify the income and excess prof
its tax sections of the War Revenue Act." This
I is exactly what the Smoot Bill is. The able and
experienced Senator from Utah, whose sterling
i common sense has won the admiration of all who
have watched his record, realizes that we must
not only fight this war now but that we must also
make provision to pay for it either now or hereaf
! ter, and to that end our industries must be kept
busy, our workmen employed and the payrolls
maintained. This cannot be done if capital is taxed
I to death and driven from the field. Capital can
live while the worker may starve. So, Senator
Smoot. has introduced a simple measure recasting
and simplifying the income and war profits taxes
I to make them understandable to the average citi
'zen and remove the injustice and the discrimina
tions which both the New York World and the
New York Times concede exist in the present act.
The Smoot bill provides a taxing system that any
ordinary business man can understand. Ever)
corporation is taxed upon the same basis, and the
revenue, under the Smoot Bill, from the corpora
tion tax, will be increased by $180,()oo,ooo over
that produced by the present law. Considering
that the crudities of the existing law are such
that the Government has been obliged to appoint
a commission to interpret its conditions, it seems
incredible that the short and simple bill of Senator
Smoot cannot have smooth sailing. That he is a
Republican ought not to militate against his meas
ure, for we are constantly assured from Washing
ton that this must ba a non-partisan war.- Les

BOOST for the State cement highway from
Logan to St. George. There is nothing that the
state, the entities and the federal government can
expend money upon that will confer so much bene
fit upon the reddents of this state. It will be the
solution of our road and transportation troubles,
whether in times of peace or war, and will be the
greatest factor in the development of the outlying
counties thai ever has been thought of. Bj the
establishment of two or three more cement fac
tories along the route of the highway, the cement
can be obtained where needed for use at a mini
mum of cost. Such financiers as Bishop Niblj see
the practicability of the undertaking, and say that
it is the economical the efficient way to build
roads that will last and give returns on the invest
ment. If all the local papers along the route will
.join in a campaign of education now, we can ob
tain favorable action from the Legislature at its
next sesion and get the good work started oil'.
ACCORDING to reports received from the
western side of this county, at points- near the
railroad, the killing and shipping of jack rabbits
is found unite profitable. The carcasses are worth
about 91.26 a dozen in Salt Lake, and tin- add
led to the bounty on the scalps makes the Blain
bunnies net the hunters about 20c. each. This,
and the benefits that result from the destruction
of the pests, makes the killing of jacl ' rabbits a
buslnes worth while, and one that miyit be 81
gaged in iii this valley with profit and considerable
sport at this time of the year. Let's speed Up Mul
finish grading Main street and then ti it out.

When You Have a Cold.
"""
It is when you have a severe eoM
that you appreciate the good QJUalttici
of Chamberlain's Couh Remedy. Mrs.
Frank ('rocker, I'ana, III., writes:
"Our five-year old son Paul caught a
I severe cold last winter that settled on
his luntrs and he had terrible coujrh-
! Ing spells. We were irreatly worried
I about him as the medicine we (SVf
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Couph Remedy that I got a bot-
' tie of it. The first dose benefited him
so much that I continued giving it to
him until he was cured."
