Board Of Trade Resolutions, In
Mourning. Capt ] n Foster.

The relentless hand OF the dread Reaper
bas been laiG upon one OF our members,
aud we are again adnonished OF the iruil
tenure Of this transitory existence.
Though full Of years and honors, having
nearly reached the allotted three score and
ten, our associate and friend, Capt James
NJ Foster, seemed still like one in the prime
Of vigorous manhood, and his death was
an unexpected shock to many Of his
friends and fellow citizens, who were not
aware Of the msladay Of which few short
mvnths had attacked the citadel Of his
robust constitution and apparently inYu!-
nerable health
For many years he had been prominent
surs In the political and the oom
mercial world, AMI his large pertoual
following sttests the esteem In which
be was held. He was conspicuously mao
OF affairs, having q clear perception Of
sound judgment, tenaclty of purpose
khd an indomitable energy which acknowl
edged no defeat and knew no iAltering
until sccess crowned his efforts, atd so be
has lett behind him many successful enter
prises and many completed undertakings
~ perpetual monuments oI his determine
tion which vas one OF the most striking
features Of his strong, self-reliant charAe-
ter.
In the dark days OF reconstruction his
Iellow citizens turned TO hin ss a natural
leader, aud such be has continued unto the
end. He was ricn in expedleDt, and mis-
fertile brain devised many plans OF cam.
paign which, his courage and tireless
energy enabled him 10 carry TO = successful
issue,
No man ever lived in this cowmuuity
who welded a greater in1na1ce or whose
loss will be more keeBly ielt and more
generally deplored. He has been faithful
servant to the public and a tried and un.
failing friend to those who relied upon his
aid or sought his wise counsel or sym
psthy.,
In his own quiet Wsy he generously die
pensed favors TO the worthy or espOused
the cause OF the weak, and many CRATE
ful heart will remember him most ten
derry.
In bis home life he was surrounded Dy
all that 10 most comforting TO the heart OF
3 mau--a devoted wife ana accomplished
daughters aud manly so2s to whom be b as
left that proudest heritsge-Sn honorable
name.
10 them our hearts go out In sympathy
IN their hour Of great bereavement yet
full of hope fer the completion and iruitton
OF all the life work which he had begin
and carried on through his own eventful
and distinguished life.

the kindergarten shows superior ability in reading has

it? Because the child learns read the pictures and

TEST OF woRTHINEss.

As the campaign draws to close,
it is fact that the hope which the
managers of Major Mckinley rest
upon is the hope that comes through
an unlimited use of money and
through the coercion of employees.
That makes the result Of this election
more important than any which has
ever been held. In past elections
both the old parties used a good deal
of money; used it where in their
Judgment it would do the most good,
and in money centers there has been
wholesale corruption. But in this
election it is manifest to all the peo-
pie that there has not been and can
not be any attempt on the part of the
Bryan managers to either coerce or
purchase voters. It has been just as
plain on the other side that unlimit-
ed money is being used without stint,
and in multitudes of cases is has been
made apparent that it is the purpose
of employers, under a covert threat,
60 make their employees support the
Mckinley ticket. As this is a blow
aimed at the very integrity of our
Republic, if it can be beaten back in
this election it will be triumph for
free government which will be OF use
for years TO come. This is really
great battle between the masses and
the classes, and the result Will demon
strate whether the masses are suf-
ficiently great to be worthy to be free
or not.-Salt Lake Tribune, October
