i ) WHY SUBSCRIBE TO
THE LOAN?
Many sentiments have been expressed as to the significance of the
Victory loan, and, from the many, the following are selected:
"You bought bonds for war; now buy them for peace."
"If it is worth dying for, it's worth paying for."
"We've won the war; let's pay the bill. '
"How much is liberty worth to you?'
"Be as liberal as the boys were brave.
"If you want to belong to his Union, pay your due?."
"Help the government mof up, Tins is the ictory loan."
"We gave it for war; let's give it for peace."
"Our boys paid; have you?"
As a matter of fact the great test is not whether victory shall be
made endjring by jying bonds, but .t is t!Js:
Have the American people the fine sense of duty which will impel
them, even after the excitement of war has passed, to uphold the ob
ligations which they contracted under the strain of war?
Under great mental exhilaration any one can be heroic, but the
Hift iea' patriot is he who, in quiet moments, is ready and willing to serve
his country by making sacrifices.
The war is virtually ocr and the slacker knows he is not facing
the steady gaze of those who are inquiring as to his stewardship, but
the real American will give as freely now as when there was a search
H 'ng out of the shirks and slinks.
DRUG EVIL IN OGDEN AND
ELSEWHERE.
'Tl
.01
One must accept with mental reservation the statements on the
use of narcotics which are being circulated in press dispatches from
III! New York.
The Standard has a budget of "news" from the bureau of the New
York World, in which this paragraph appears:
A dispatch dated April 21, from Washington, D. C,
states that federal officials will urge our reprcsentati cs
at the peace conference to endeavor to secure an interna
tional arrangement for the enforcement of anti-narcotic
laws, this action being, in their opinion, demanded by the
increased use of narcotic drugs in the United States and
the difficulty expeiienced in controlling their distribution.
The dispatch also states that the people of the United
States use five times as much narcotic drugs per capita as
do the people of China, and it is feared that, with the ad
vent of prohibition, the number of drug addicts will greatly
increase unless the most rigid measures are taken to sup
press the traffic. In this connection, Daniel C. Roper, com
'L missioner of revenue, in his annual report says, "Compre
hensive and effective administration of the narcotic laws
must be based upon an international pcrspectie, support
ed by international agreements, and co-operative interpre-
tion or policy under which the drug world trade may be
adequately policed." Secretary of the Treasury Glass, of
whose department the internal revenue bureau forms a
part, will forward a statement regarding this matter to the
president within the next few days. The report of Repre
sentative Henry T. Rainey, chairman of the committee to
investigate the use of drugs in the United States, has been
ready for sometime but the figures contained in it are so
alarming that it has been held up by the treasury depart
ment officials for the purpose of careful verification be
i fore it is published. The report shows more than 1,500.
000 narcotic drug addicts in the United Stales, of which
number New York City is said to have nearly 300,000.
It may be true that this country has more users of narcotic drugs
than any other country, but that weakness has developed over a long
Ij period of years during which whiskey has been openly sold in nine
Jmi! tenths of the states in very large quantities, and may we not make
wl'1 the deduction that whiskey has paved the way for drugs?
These "drug" stories arc being circulated as a defense of whiskey.
They may prove to be boomerangs.
For years the American people have been trained to resort to
drugs. But it is our opinion that the cocaine, morphine and opium
habits have decreased since those drugs have been legislated against
by the federal government.
Ogden, up to six years ago, had shivering, shaking men and women
f who. in their nervous twitching! as they went about the streets, dis
closed they were victims of strong drugs. Our jails always had one
H or more of the unfortunates. Of late there has been no outward evi
dence of this debasement, and. if Ogden is not the exception, we are
justified in saying that the drug evil is rapidly decreasing in the Unit-
jl'i ed States.

DEADMAN'S GULCH FIFTY
YLVIS AGO.
On the old line of the Central Pacific, as one travels west from Og
den. a bend in the road brings to view "Dcadman's Gulch." When
lU the I men Pacific and Central Pacific were racing to cover the gap
which separated them, there was a great camp of railroad laborers!
at Dcadman's Gulch, working on the heavy grade and great "fill"
which led up to the summit of Promontory range and the place where
the golden spike was driven. In the tented city were gathered men
ill. of every type. The honest, honorable I borers were there and along-'
side were the gunmen and outlaws who had been on the frontier. This
region at that time was in the wild and woolly west. Although parts'
I. of Utah had been settled twenty-two years and Ogden was a quiet!
Milage of some 2500 inhabitants, out from the settlements the trav
l elr ,soon found nilf m no-man's land. So at this camp in Dead-!
I man's Gulch there were few of the restraints of the law and disputes
fgl were quickly ended by the crack of guns.
Old timers will tell you that more untimely deaths occurred on the
grade at Promontory than at any other point on the transcontinental I
road.
And almost over night, as the rails were spiked down fifty years!
I ago. the camp at Deadman's Gulch" disappeared and with it went
the badman, the gunman and the outlaw, never to return to this
III I parl Utah.
So on May 10, when the event of 1869 is celebrated, we shall also
Jlj observe one of our earl.er victories which broucht peace and the se
cunty and progress which attend orderly, regulated, just govern

THROWING THE SWITCH ON
A THROUGH TRAIN.
When the officials of tho Weber club
learned that Walter P. Hlnes and his
distinguished associates were to pass
through Ogden, they sent a telograDi
which did not receive the response
they expected, and then they resort
ed to more telegraphing and fina'Iy
the.V succeeded In upsetting the entire
schedule of the travelers to tho extent
of taking an hour from Salt Lake and
an hour from other points.
This is not boing obtrusive. It is
nothing more than coming out from in
under an obscuring fog and letting
strangers know we are a big part of
the west. It is asserting ourselves.
Ogden too long has been playing the
part of the over-modest, bashful boy
and it is well that Ogden is beginning
to stand squarely on its footing, with
head erect.
The Weber club has our thanks for
calling attention to the importance ofi
Ogden Eastern men going over the
country do not know Ogden much more
Intimately than we do Tuscaloosa. Ala.,
or Way Cross, On., both junctions of
several railroads, but today Mr Ilines
and .Mr Ilohlon are talking of Ogden's
artesian wells which can supply a city
of 100.O00 and they are telling others
of the intrinsic worth of this city.
Let us keep up the good work It

EUROPE MUST
IMPORT TONS
OF FOODSTUFFS
PARIS. April 27 Tn the harvest
year from August 1918 to Aupust,
1919, Europe must import 29.000.000!
tons of foodstuffs from overseas and !
to moot this there is available a total
of about 35.000.000 tons. Herbei' C
Hoover, chairman of the food section;
of the supreme economic council said
today in reviewing the present world
food situation. Tho supply available
is sufficient to meet the needs of
Europe, but shipping conditions ire
not satisfactory on account of strikes
in many countries r.nd. as a result
there is no question that the entire
American surplus will be absorbed
"We are now at the worst phase of'
he European famine that was inevli-
able after this world war." Mr. Hooer
.said.
Tho United States. Mr. Hoover con-;
tlnued, will supply to Europe during
tho yeat ending next August food-,
stuffs alued at $2,500,000,000. Enemy
countries and neutrals will pay cash'
for what they receive while the allied
countries aro being aided by funds ap
propriated by congress.
The food relief authorities are do
ing their be; to control the effect of
the large demands on the American
market. In connection with this Mr
Hoover mentioned tha' a sta'.ement
by him on the possible price of wheat
hud been misinterpreted in some qunr-j
ters.
The relief administration proposes!
that the last of tho food ships under!
its control shall sail from tho United
States before July 1st The harvest
in Europe will then enable Europe to
go on for some months wthout assistance.
NEW YORK, April 27. Herbert
Hoover, director general of the Ameri
can relief administration, has called
on the governments of Rumania. Po-
land, Serbia and Czecbo-Slovakia, to
establish commissions for the ration
ing and rehabilitation of their coun
tries after the relief organization di-j
continues its work nt tho completion
Of the next European harvest, the ad
ministration's offices announced to
night. American relief work cannot be car
ried on indefinitely, Mr Hoover de
elared. citing the press of world fiance;
and urging the necessity that Euro-;
pean populations return to productive
labor as soon as obsiacles in the way
of such operation are removed.
