In fairness, courage and steadfastness is


the hope of the future. We can expect as
free ballot in Utah as in any other state,
II not freer, as we have the pledge of the
bosses here, while in other states the boss
is unhampered by any promise of non
interference. There is a greater reaction
in Utah against personal dictation
in political matters than anywhere
else, and the fruits of this ten
dency, believe, will become so radical that
I Utah will set an example to the rest of the
union in political federation
Neither calumny nor misrepresentation
nor the hacking yituperation of political
marplots will ca1se young Utah to lag in
her course. She has set her face to the
rising sun and will not turn back. Beln g
buffeted by the sneers of the 81 am hoiier
than thou" only accelerates their speed
Even as the abolition of slavery made the
south more patriotic, so the abolition of
polygamy will make Utah freer, fairer,
stronger and more loyal to the cause of the
union, with keener appreciation of har-
monious accord.
Young Utah is at work with an earnest
ness studying the political history of the
country, and it will not surprise me if in a
few years we have here the best-in form ed
citizens of any state, equipped with the
principles of Jefferson, the safe monitor
for political guidance.
Young Utah has her eyes set on the flu

standing face to face and clasping hands,
we shall remain united, citizens of the

judgment:
Those opposed eyes,
Which like the met ors of a troubled heaven,
All OF one nature, of one substance bred
Did lately meet in the INTESTINE shock
Shall now in mutual well beseeming ranks,
March all one way
Having established concord at home and
confidence abroad, let US turn to other

If the people of this city are ambitious to
have here great population, they must
build well. The agricultural area here
| about is limited to small valleys and its
| capacity has already been defined The
land tillers can contribute but definite
percentage to the commerce and population
of this city. The mining districts are all
outSide of the city and the miners, as
rule, will make their homes in the little
towns and villages that spring up in the
mining camps. The mine owners and high
salaried officials naturally choose this city
as their residence place, because it is an
attractive town to live in. The more at
tractive it is made the greater will be it's
power, and should the city be improved on
the plan that is here proposed, it is not I'M
reasonable to predict that all the men of
means with mines in Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho and Nevada, and to the divide in
Colorado, as well as all of Utah, will select
Salt Lake City as the residence place
for themselves and their families. This
means a tremendous influx of capital. as
well as of population. 1t means that as
soon as man strikes money in the noun
tains he will bring it to Salt Lake to spend
or invest But even a greater source of
population and wealth is that rapidly in
creasing army of men who make fortunes
in the malarial regions, and who to escape
the rigorous winters are cons family seek
ing better climatic conditions. The climate
of Salt Lake valley for phthisis and all
pulmonary diseases, according to the high
est medical authorities. is unsurpassed by
any other locality In addition to the ito
nicity" impaired to the atmosphere by the
GreatlSalt Lake, there are the attractions of

nowhere else found in such close proximity
in any mountainous country. The city is
also rich in historical associations of very
peculiar order, and the great temple and
