Phrenograph From Personal Examination,

ing else, and if his ideas and views
happen to chime with popular senti-
ment, all right; he likes that, and will
feel encouraged; but if they do not,
then so much the worse for popular
sentiment-he will stand by his colors
just the same.
1t is quite impossible to account for
Mr. Fosters connection with politics
on any other ground than that of ac-
cident. Though he is amply endowed
with. the necessary brain power, yet he
is wanting in two or three of the eS-
sential features that every political as
pirant possesses, and on the strength
of this | will venture the assertion that
Mr. Foster did not find politicS-but
politics found him.
AS a result of that disposition al
ready alluded to, he cannot help taking
an interest in current events, in the
welfare of the masses, and especially
those whom he considers are the vic
time of oppression, and as the field of
modern politics perhaps offers as many
opportunities to redress evils and eX-
pose inconsistencies as any other he
was unwittingly made a participant in
political struggles when he entered the
arena merely as a spectator. At all
events. Mr. Foster is not a man who
can extract any satisfaction from his
connection with a movement involving
the excitement, the strife and bitter
ness that is usually engendered by an
active campaign. He likes friendly de-
bate and good natured, honest opposi-
ton, but he deplores the existence of
deceit and treachedy that is too often
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-04-04

mistaken. To assert that all pol
iticiSns are necessarily inconsist-
ent, would display a lack of the
same commodity in ourselves. To be
sure, the instances may be rare, but
nevertheless they exist. and the pres
ent instance may serve as a case in
point AS already stated, / do not
consider Mr.. Foster in his natural ele
ment on the political stump" | do
not say he lacks the ability to succeed
in that line, because as for that he
could succeed in raising chickens, or as
a dancing master, but he can be far
more successful in other directions. as
/ will name. But regarding Mr.. Fos-
ter as a politician pro tenn. we have d
unique instance of that Jewel above
referred to. Making a fair allowance
for the weaknesses of human nature
and the imperfections of judgment, Mr.
Foster is thoroughly consistent as he
sees things. l do not wish to be I'M
derstood as saying the gentleman is
always right. or that he is ever right
but that from his point of view, and
with the best light he possesses he is
a conscientious and consistent man.
This may not be saying much but it
is saying more than the writer would
be responsible for in many instances.
Some men-perhapS / had better say
some people, so as to make the state
ment as broad as possible-Some peo-
pie bear so much elasticity of con-
science it will expand or contract &C
cording to interest or desire, and they
will sag at the tail after having
swallowed the cat"
Mr.. Foster is a good observer and a
good thinker He wants to know the
why and wherefores of a subject; will
delve beneath the surface and has
considerable originality. His large cas-
f,r1r o,,l 10,
nelly qualify him for the lecture field,
and as a temperance advocate he
would make a decided hit. His forte,
however, is on the stage. With the
polish that comes with experience he
could rival Jefferson in comedy. He has
great initiative powers, and though he
would not follow either Jefferson or Sol
Smith Russell in their roles he would
create one for himself that with equal
opportunities would make him event.
ually equally as renowned. He is a
man who will make friends wherever
he goes He is sociable, witty and good
company Is seldom troubled with the
"blues:" is contented whether it is fine
or raining, working or playing, and
will enjoy himself eating or sleeping,
and will want plenty of both.
He is not given to excitement; looks
at matters calmly; is willing to give
any one the benefit of a doubt until
proved guilty and then-off goes his
head.
He ought to be member of the HUI
name society. He dislikes the i'll treat
ment of dumb animals: will help a
lame dog over stile;" will take the
part of anyone who is weak, and has
great sympathy for old age.
Mr. Foster belongs to the masses
not the classes. He has good moral inn
pulses, and though he is not likely TO
aspire to the upper crust of society,
he will never fall below that line which
entities him to the respect and conf
dence of his fellows.
He is a man who will neither court
favors or fear frowns. but has the
courage of his convictions and would
rather be right than be president.
