I FOURTH OF JULY OF 1919.
Ocrden is to observe the Fourth of July. Opden never should neg
lect to celebrate that day. These fixed celebrations around which
axe woven the inspirations of our national life, should be as dear to
I us as are the feast days to those devoted to religious ceremonies.
The Fourth of July marks the beginning of our existence as a
nation. More than that it stands today as the date on which the
world turned from lords and masters to self-governme.nl
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, the foundation
I was laid for tremendous events on this continent to be followed by a
toppling of nearlv all the royal houses in Europe.
The guide of the uorld today is America. We searccly realize how
great has been the influence of this republic. First, monarchies dis
appeared from the western continent. Now they are being driven
out of the old world.
In celebrating the Fourth of July we have a right to review the
j course of events from 1776 to this time.and trace that radical, ldealis
; tie act of our forefathers, which has so impressed humanity as to
turn ca en imperialistic Germany into a republic.
On the Fourth of July, in rhe years gone by, our orators have
dwelt on the unconquerable spirit of America. Those words of praise
I have developed a pride in country and in personal performance that
is today one of our greatest assets in war. Tt is related that in the
I war zone in France our troops were looked upon as reckless in their
disregard of danger. The boys went into the struggle filled with
the thought that Americans could not be defeated and their courage
was a might factor in sustaining the morale of the allies.
We must keep up this confidence in our youth, and the way to do
so is to continue to proclaim our irtues on our natal day.
I We must, stop long enough from daily toil to gi- emphasis to our
I national spirit and to teach our young people to continue to believe
in America as the most blessed of all lands
The country towns of Weber county are making preparations to
celebrate this Fourth and now 0?den is to round nut the patriotic
demonstration by givm? three days to the memorable event
A NEAR VIEW OF WAR.
War is brutalizing, which goes without saying But how deep are
the passion of hatred and revenge aroused no one who has not been
under the terrible Strain seems capable of reahang.
Here is a first-handed account of wha sometimes occurs, ami it
illustrates the point :
An Ogden soldier Mas with the Canadians when his platoon com
mander received word that his brother, further up the line near Kem
mel Hill, had been killed. The brothers had been closely held by
the ties of affection and admiration and the shocking news sunk
deep into the heart of the Canadian officer. He became irreconcil
able and moody Then he made this resolve:
"Boys, when we go over the top apam, I hae sworn to have ven
geance !"
Next day came the opportunity The Canadians rapidly gained
ground and the platoon moved upon a dugout. Shouting down, the
officer of the platoon commanded :
"Come out, you devils' Come out'"
Then turning to his men, he said
"Stand back! This is my du of appealing wrath' This is my
hour of supreme revenge! This is my butchery!"
With hands up. appeared Hun No. I. He appealed as "Kamerad"
once. Then, before he could repeat, he fell, his face plowing into the
dust. Not a quiver, not a move. Death reigned!
Then followed Hun No. 2.
.When the slaughter ended, nineteen men had been shot by this
frantic man.
Does war brutalize" Is there a need for an instrument to put a
stop to such scenes?
I GET THE LEADERS OF FRIGHTFULNESS.
Nothing so stings the Prussian military man as the provision in the
peace treaty requiring the German government to yield up the kaiser
and those in authority guilty of violating the rules of war and moral
rights of humanity.
Even now that the national assembly at Weimar has voted to sign
which is an act obligating Germany to carry out the terms of peace,
the military leaders are saing:
"You shall not have our kaiser. We shall protect Hindenburg and
Ludendorff. "
To inake good, those unrelenting dogs of war have resolved to
organize secretly and, we presume fight, as would a guerrilla band,
to save its chief.
A special dispatch from Weimar, describing the excitement at
headquarters when the decision to sign was reached, says:
A manifesto spread broadcast today by the military leaders
declares the" will go to Holland to protect the ex-monarch.
"When we arrive at the frontier, we will find a way across,'
says the document. "We cannot protect the kaiser with our
bodies, but rely on the generosity of the Dutch."
Rapidly the old monarchical spirit, coupled with pity for the
former emperor, is spreading through sections of the population
which had laconically accepted the republican order but had
been waiting only for a spark of inspiration to revivify their in
born love and loyalty to the self-exiled former monarch.
The Kreuzzeitung proposes a heroic sacrifice: All those who
were officers in the army in 1914, says the paper, should notify
President Ebert that they are ready to accept whatever penalty
the allies may impose upon the ex-kaiser.
Meanwhile, the officers' association has sent a request to the
government of Holland not to deliver William Hohenzollem.
The allies should be prepared to handle the defiant militarists of
Germany with vigor. Of all the offenders against civilization, the
worst were Ludendorff and Hindenburg. who sanctioned the horrors
of Belgium and northern France. They should be placed against
a stone wall, facing a firing squad. Instead of inflicting extreme dis
tress on the homes of Germany, those guilty of outrages should be
dealt with. One reason heavy penalties are being inflicted on the
masses is to guard against, a repetition of the awful disaster of the
past five years, It the militarists were disposed of, Germany would
take its place immediately with the peace-loving people of alf nations
I AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD.
There was a time when England was the steel and iron master of
the world. But that enviable position is now occupied by the United
States. It is over twenty years since the great steel mills of this
country went out to bid for the trade of the world and succeeded
in placing American rails in India, one of Great Britain's colonial
possessions, in Japan and elsewhere. At the time there were men
going about the country preaching the gospel of isolation and sarin g
it could not be done, that America could not compete with the pauper
labor of Europe, but those preachers, who pictured a shrivelcd-up
America, had too narrow a point of view. They did not know that
American genius and skill and system, combined with inexhaustible
natural resources, not only could meet the competition of foreign
lands but could invade those markets and undersell the foreigner.
This is being repeated today, although conditions are abnormal
and a little later on America may not enjoy the great advantage now
possessed by us.
For years the manufacturers of the United States, in lines in which
they have specialized and have shown deep interest, have undersold
the world, except where they have met with unfair competition such
as Germany, by secret governmental bounty and private conapiracv,
employed prior to the war.
The Liverpool Journal expresses alarm over the sweeping manner
in which American manufacturers arc capturing trade and confesses
that the prices offered are below the cost cf production in England
Wc quote from the Journal as follows:
The placing of an order for steel rails in the United States by
the Birmingham corporation is only one, and perhaps the least
striking, instance of the kind. France also requires rails, and
recently offered contracts to English and American manufactur
ers for 750,000 tons of them When the English manufacturers
got down to absolute bare, net cost, with no profit at all, they
were still 30s per ton outside the price quoted by the American
manufacturers. Orders for the first 500,000 tons have already
gone to the United States. The remaining 250. 000 tons were held 1
over for English manufacturers, but. the latter could make no
certain promise of delivery owing to threats of strikes, and if
they have not already gone, they arc likely to follow the first
'500000 tons to the United States. An order for about 375,000
for loeomotives was offered to the North British Locomotive com
pany. This is also believed lost to the United States. It is com
mon knowledge in the iron and steel and engineering industries
that reconstruction orders for France and Belgium are going to
the United States far more than are coming to this country,
though British manufacturers want the work badly.
This is all a wonderful story of American triumphs in industry and
proves that well fed, well paid workmen, operating under the most
favorable working conditions, enn produce more and better goods,
j at less cost, than where labor is on a lower plane.
FEDERAL RESERVE IS
SAFETY VALVE.
How great is the influence of the
Federal reserve system on the busi
ness and banking of the country is
brought out by Henry Clews in a let
ter to The Standard, in which he
' says:
'The stock market has not fully un
derstood the peculiar new conditions
to which it is subject under the Fed
eral reserve system. There was a
deficit of reserves at the close of last
week and this deficit could most eas-j
lly be made up by larger discounting
at Federal reserve banks for the pur
pose of establishing greater reserve
credits on the books of the banks In
spite of this call money promptlv
bounded upward as in the old days
when a deficit of reserves meant a
necessary curtailment of loans. The
fact is that the Federal reserve sys
item could supply very much larger
reserves through the rediscount pro
cess, if it chose to do so. and the
funds thus provided If once obtained
by the member banks could be used
in any way that (he banks might see
fit whether for speculation or for
' some other purpose. The member
I banks have rcdiseounted heavily on
j the strength of liberty bonds and cer
tificates of indebtedness as collateral,
and it is in this way that a good deal
of the recent upward movement in the
stock market has been financed. But
the warnings sent out by the Federal
reserve board and its call for infornn
tion as to the use of rediscount pro
ceeds necessarily have caused some
anxiety to bankers who were already
carrying large lines and who would
naturally hesitate to put themselves
into any position that might Invoke
legitimate criticism. The reserve sys
tem has not functioned as It was ex
pected to in this particular It has
i reasons to show for its peculiar posi
! tion regarding speculation in that It
had been called upon to finance the
treasury so largely and at low and
stable rates. Still the fact remains
that it is the gTeat source of supply
of funds, and that the policies that it
may determine upon will in no small
measure regulate those of the actual
lending banks In short the money
situation has as never before become
the key tOitbe stock market
