lauS infantium,

In praise of little children I will say
God first made man. then found bet
ter way
For woman, but His third way was the
best.
OF all created things, the loveliest
And most divine are children. Nothing
here
Can be to us more gracious or more
dear.
And though, when God saw all his works
were good,
There was no rosy flower of babyhood,
Twas said of children in a latter day
That none could enter heaven but such
as they.
The earth, which feels the Towering Of
a thorn,
Was glad, 8 little child, when you were
born;
The earth, which thrills when skylarks
scale the blue,
Scared up itself to Gods own heaven
And heaven. which loves to lean down
and to glass
Its beauty in each dewdrop on the grass
Heaven laughed to find your face SO pure
and fair
And left, o. little child, it's reflex there
William Canton.

GETTING READY
FOR THE STRUGGLE.
Republicans and Democrats Lin
ing Up for the Battle of
November Third.
QUIET CANVASS IS GOING ON.
Republicans win Rally at the rhcatcr
The Night Of October 3l-Dem'
ocrats Hopeful.

While politically there Is very little
doing at the present time the different
parties are sizing things up with a
keen eye and are making ample prepar-
atoms to make the weak places strong
and the strong places stronger ere the
day dawns on which TO deposit ballots.
The Republicans are now ready for
business IN the annex of the knutslord
hotel on Third South street, while the
Democrats have established them elves
at Al East First South tieet ana both
have begun a quiet canvass with the
object In view of ascertaining just ex-
actly how they stand. At the outset
the Democrats concluded to simply
place a ticket in the field and let It go
at that, but recent developments have
led to the belief that there is fighting
chance, 10 say the least and the old
war horses, who for two or three years
past have RETAINED from active partc-
ipatlon In politics, have made It known
that should their services be required
they VIII be only too willing to render
aid. On the other hand the RepuDli-
cans are just as willing to advance
their own interests so that all in All
II looks as though there win be some
thing doing before 4 great while.
AT Republican headquarters this
morning It was learned tnat q grand
rally had been arranged for Saturday
night, Oct 81 In the Salt Lake theater,
at which time some Of the best speak
ers In the party would be heard. This
will be on the eve Of the election and
a royal effort will be made to make Il
count What the Democrats intend do
ing In this direction IS not known, al
though IN all probability counter eff
fort Will be made at a time and place
to be hereafter announced. The plan Is
To have short sharp campaign, as the
feeling is that this is no time for
speeches. but for hard woVk. Meanwhile
political wiseacres are doing their level
best to fathom the situation. but as yet
few Of them are able to give very deh-
mite information as to the grand result
As far az the Socialists are concerned
they are simply pursuing the even ten
or Of their way, hoping al no very dis
tant date to gain strength sufficient to
become 4 factor IN shaping govern
mental affairs.
