WHERE IS YOUR BOY? WHERE IS
YOUR GIRL?

Fathers, where are your sons? Moth
ers, where are your daughters? In this
age of sin, and vice and deception, you
cannot be too careful about their asso
ciates. 1t is your duty to know their
every movement. Many girl is ruin
ed by being allowed to run about the
streets, attending theatres, balls, and
parties, without being accompanied by
father or mother, Many bright, prom
ising son, who is permitted to seek his
own pleasure, finds his way to the gild-
ed saloon, the fascinating gaming table,
and is lured into all kinds of vice and
sin. until he becomes a total wreck, and
brings father and mother to an early
grave.
In such cases the parents cannot be
wholly exonerated from blame. An
acorn planted in the ground soon
springs up and becomes tender twig
which can be made to grow straight OF
crooked, just as it is trained, and in the
course of few years it becomes stur.
dy oak, and shows what its training
was in early years. Thus it is with
children. Train them in the paths Of
obedience, and rectitude, instilling into
their minds the dangers that continual
ly beset their paths through life, an(
they will grow up into manhood ant
womanhood, loved and esteemed by all
and a JOY and comfort to father ant
mother in their declining years.
Again we say, where are your chill
dren? Guard their young lives wit
the same Jealous care and zeal you d
! the innocent, pure, prattling babe il
the cradle, and great will be tn
reward. School Gem.

RISE AND FALL OF NATIONS,

In reviewing ancient and modern
history, we wonder why this nation
should fall, or how that nation came
into eXistance. First, let us notice the
tyrannical power of the eastern cOntln-
ent. There we have grand old Rome,
a magnificent empire she was, her
glory filled all the earth, but like
SOdOm and GomOrah, her sins out
weighed her virtues. Sin CAME into
this world by transgreSSiOn of the law,
pie as nation was Obllterated; there
being but eight souls saved to perpet-
uate the human race, and if Ham had
not laughed at his father, there would
not have been any donkeys. His father
was drunk, and we know intoxicating
liquor to be sin to all nations, there
fore. eventually must be the downfall
of that nation. Rome delighted in
tiattering herself, that she was the rul-
inc power of the world. But look at
her slaves and wine. She delighted in
conquering other nations, until the
avenging hand of God could no longer
be stayed, for without the shedding of
| blood there is no remission OF SIM
In 1920 modern Rome was founded,
and in 1861 to 1865 inclusive, she Of
fered up her atonement for the sin of
slavery 1t was great atonement,
but there is greater sin to overcome
to save the downfall of modern Rome,
and that is the atOnement for inebri-
ETY.. There are more splendid men and
magnificent women going over the
abyss of inebriety this moment than
it would take to make six modern
Canadas. But we modern Romantics
fatter ourselves, thinking we are in
the van of the whole civilized world.
All! a model nation indeed! Look
at the thousands starving between the
Atlantic and Pacific, brought on by
inebriety. "Vengeance is mine saith
the Lord, l will repay. My people are
free people, Is modern Rome free
1 answer, no. 1t takes no prophet to
, foretell the downfall at no distant date,
for as other nations have fallen for
their sins, so we will, for we are pur-
suing the same course. A. In.

MORALITY IN POLITICS.
The Man Who Is a Libertine, or Other
wise Immoral, Cannot be Trusted
With Office.

wise Immoral, Cannot be Trusted
With Office.
Honesty, virtue and sObriety are quail
tiles which every public official should
possess. In other words, only men hav-
ing those qualities should be elected to
office 1t matters not how wholesome
the doctrines of any political party
may be; how just the measures it may
advocate; how loud its professions of
loyalty to the best interests of the peO-
pie at large, if the private characters of
those it nominates to represent the peo-
pie are not good, we may rest assured
that their public record will be of the
same quality. A man who is dishonest,
or drunken or diSSOlute as citizen
will not be transformed into saint by
being elevated to public office.
1t is hard to get people to see the i'm
pOrtance Of selecting men of moral char
acter to direct public affairs. Our form
OF government may be all rlght,our
constitution just, but if unjust men are
elected to make, execute or interprets
the laws their characters will be reflect
ed on their public acts. No matter
how good the engine. how smooth and
solid the road bed, or how perfectly
constructed or gorgeously finished the
coaches, if the train is i'll charge OF
drunken or INSCRIPTIONS engineer, the
lives of the passengers are endangered.
In like manner the engineers, conduct
ors and porters-all the officials in
charge of the great government train
should be sober, honest, conscientious
men, otherwise there is danger of
wreck.
A man who takes the side of the pro-
fame and indecent; who apologies for
the saloon, the gambling den, and
houses of assignation, is not worthy of
the sutfrages of the people for any
office. Such person will not regard
office as public trust, but rather as an
opportunity to get in his diabolical
work, which is always opposed to the
| best interests of humanity. 1t makes
no difference how ''Silvery-tongued,' or
how ''available' as a party leader, the
man who is libertine or otherwise
= immoral cannot be trusted with office.

gentleman in a two-fOld relation,
through a perusal OF his
latest production. First: That un-
doubtedly he is writer of unusual
brilliancy and originality, and sue
cessful man in his chosen field. Second:
That as a "Universal Reformer of
the World" he is lamentable failure.
Without entering on the subject Of his
abilities as writer, which are conceded,
there remains only to call the attention
to two statements in his latest book,
which have caused the conclusion
reached in regard to his efforts at re-
form. In part 1, chapter V, entitled
"Who are the Disreputables - in speak
ing of the depredatory rich of Chicago
the following statement is made: 'Mr.
is notable product Of the present
system. OF course, though Mr., at
an early stage in his career, before he
was launched upon Chicago as tinan-
cier and street railway magnate, had
served in Pennsylvania penitentiary,
would not for moment suggest that
in his operations in Chicago he has
brought himself within the clutches OF
the law" While no doubt true that
any transaction of a quasi public actor is
a subject of legitimate criticism, yet a
true reformer would under no circum-
stances call attention to the former
record of the individual when it has no
bearing in the case. In the closing
chapter he puts the query, IF Christ
came to Chicago what would he wish
me to do?" Among the series Of an
swers is this one: every opportunity
when you can manifest love by word
, or look--then and there you can be a
Christ" Placing these two quotations
, in juxtaposition can any other conclu
sion be reached than that of insincer
ity? Mr.. Stead does not practice wha
) he breaches, and most certainly doe'
( not obey the biblical injunction Of char
! ity. Furthermore, there is nothing

LIQUOR, ITS RELATION TO CRIME.


Man an irresponsible Being When Placed
Under Its Accusing Influences.
If there is anything more closely re-
lated to crime than liquor, it is un-
doubtedly liquors. The majority of
robberies, assaults, murders, forgeries,
embellishments, etc. have their origin
in this drug. Crime of every deScrlp-
ton is laid to its influence. and the
greater number of them have cOnclu
sive evidence that this source is the true
one. 1t has created dissensiOn and bit
ter hatred among the irmest of friends,
which has terminated in murder. Its
powerful effect, especially upon weak
or eXcitable natures, easily drives them
into crime. A great many when IN
their sober senses could not be induced
or persuaded under any circumstances
to do an unlawful act, yet when stepped
in liquor will commit deeds that are as
much surprise to themselves as to
their acquaintances. 1t apparently
transforms us from harmless and pas
sive beings into savage and avarlclOus
ones. 1t has caused more misery and
poverty alone, than all other forms of
debasement and vice combined. IT alb
ject poverty is not crime itself 1t is
unuuestiOnably breeder of such and
makes more criminals than anything
else. There are any quantity OF refined
intelligent and cultivated men to-day
serving time in prisons throughout the
country, that would never have beer

HOME INDUSTRY EXCURSION.

The excursion and exhibition arrang-
ed by the ladies of the Home Industry
association promise to be of unusual in
terest. The prizes that are offered for
home made articles ought to act as a
stimulus to bring out individual effort
and cause friendly competition to an
unusual extent.
The purpose of the movement is to
encourage the establishment of indus
tries which will give employment to
persons Of both sexes. 1t is expected
that next winter there will be great
calls for aid upon the benevolent. Now
lis the time to make preparations for
agencies by which the poor may be-
| come self-sustaining. 1t is hoped that
by drawing out the capabilities of peo-
pie to manufacture at home many
things that are now obtained from
abroad this will be promoted.
This is no new movement in Utah
1t is an old movement revived. But it
comes up in such a vigorous and con-
certed shape that we may reasonably
expect success. There never was a
time in the history of the territory
when it was more needed than now.
We want Utah articles manufactured
by Utah people out of UtahAmaterials.
This viii not only set idle hands to
work, but will utilize the elements
around US and thus create wealth and
also keep that wealth here for general
use and benefit.
The excursion on Thursday, the 18th
inst, ought to be well patronized. Salt
air will be graced by a host Of Salt
Lakes leading fair ones, and there will
be a fine exhibition of the skill and in
dustry of our own people, The whole
proceeds will be devoted to the pur
poses of the association and the affair
ought to be made successful. The
ladies are to be commended for the in
terest they take in this manner ana the
enterprise and energy they constantly

They may rave who will of the charms
that fill
The places of foreign fame
Where people run for their seasons fun
At the sedulous summers claim
Manhattan beach, or the towns that
reach,
Down the chilly Atlantic shore
Whose fame was made by a fashion laid
In prime that has long been O'er;-
I sing of place of pristine grace,
Where the salt sea drops it's spray
In d jeWelled Sleet at the pretty feet
OF an infantile inland bay;
And a lowered dome astride the foam
Gives ire to the island peaks,
For the golden glow that their arches
To their spleenfully purple streaks;
You may, know the spot by the picture
wrought
With its tracing of jeweled light
Round the minarets, and the deep arch
fretS
OF its proud facade by night.
And from far away, you may see by day
Its cupolas rising high
Brown peaks of an isle that rose ere
while
In the flash OF a lightning eye
All summer long a happy throng
Cross over the WaVe-Stretched rails
To its plank-paved port; whilst the rip
pies sport
And gaze at the engine sails
And the strange car-fieet that easily beat
The record of every craft
That old Neptune knows in his proudest
shows
OF latter-day lightning raft.
And day by day in the sanded bay
The SineWy supple waves
With juggler Zest-rear on their breast
The acrobat throng that leaves;-
Nor lets the blink of an eyelid sink
In the waters threatening fold,
Keeping limb and lip to an even dip
With the strength of its balanced hold.
And hour by hour in sun or shower
The commodore's gallant boat
Plies forth and back in the isrled track
Where the distant lake-tides float
Or makes its round with plotting sound
To that strip of indigo land
Whose body slim marks near, but dim,
Fair Antelope's island strand.
And oft with grace in the princely space
OF pavilion and promenade,
Sweet couples stray in a tete-a-tete,
In the moonlight's turquoise shade,
And 1.-THE young feet, with joyful beat
In the polished dancing hall
Keep spell-bound time to the tranclng
rhyme
of that tune of the finished bali.
No other scene meath the suns wide
sheen
It's trumpeted fame may vaunt,
To take the claim of peerless fame
From this marvellous summer haunt.
And all shall live, in time to give
Their crowns to the princess fair,
Who rules the tide by our salt sea side
The beautiful isle-Saltair.

lions of men with their families out OF
employment" Exaggerating the stu
alton will not help ii. The times are
improving. The number of the unen-
ployed has been decreasing rapidly for
some months. Many are not at work
because they demand more than en-
ployers are able or willing to give. In
another article this is clearly set forth.
Deploring existing i'll conditions and
magnifying them in the public mind
will never ameliorate them.
We will favor any practical plan by
which the masses may be raised from
restitution and acquire that indepen-
dence which is essential to full liberty.
But the everlasting growl of the chronic
agitator against capital, which would
cease just as soon as he became by any
means a capitalist himself, is of no
service to the cause. It fans the flame
of incendiary turbulence that prevents
the running Of trains, abuses men who
are willing to work at terms which
others refuse, paralyzes business, i'm
poverishes those who engage in it, and
prevents labor from acquiring capital
itself, and thus conduces TO its own de-
pendence and degradation. Labor
should organize for its own advance
ment, it should never do so to break
down and destroy capital. And it will
ruin its own cause when it seeks to
