WIFI bacon at % Genus anu 20 cents
and corn meal at $1.70 and 81, we
have no shadow of great rock in a
weary land to hide behind. We are
at the mercy of the dealers.
This should not be. Prices ought
to be lowered. If not then the farmer
should be permitted to come in and
hawk his produce wherever he wants
to. We are trying to build up city
here and the cost of living is so high
that no one can be attracted to Salt
Lake as a place to live. How any man
getting $3.50 and $1.75 as days
wages can live and support a fanny,
after paying rent and coal bills Is q
mystery.
Nor are prices of necessaries alone
in their loftiness. Rents are far and
away beyond what they should be.
Worldngmen cannot live and pay the
rents charged. Business houses can
not do well on the eXorbitant prices
charged. No 4-roomed house ought to
rent for more than $l2 per month; no
5-roomed house for more than SIS. I'm
| til we become more conservative in
our demands Salt Lake will never be
| the great city it ought to be.
Owing to the high prices for wool
clothing is high, but that is a natural
result and cannot be helped. Clothing
is going to be higher still. The alb
normal price asked for wool is bound
to send the manufactured produc.
still higher. In the line of dry goods
prices are as cheap here as anywhere.
The big houses sell at very reasonable
| rates.
We may be criticised for calling at
tention to this condition. But it Ia
advertised in every issue of the morn
ing papers. The Wholesale and retail
quotations are advertised each day
and are regarded as correct, being fur
nished by wholesalers and retailers
of authority. People who want to
come here investigate these condi-
tions and when they see what prices
are charged they hesitate. In no
place in America are we hammered
and logged with the knout of high
prices as we are here. Some may say
look at Butte, but Butte has an Offset
in this that wages are high enough to
counterbalance the cost of living. II
is not the wholesaler nor the retailer
who make the community great. 1t is
not the banker or the broker; 1t Is
the chap who earns his money from
day to day and spends it in support
|
action that makes community
great; it is the scattering of money
by the wage Garner The sublime
sentiment embodied in Goldsmith's
stance:
"Ill fares the land, to Fastening ills a
prey
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay.
Princes and lords may flourish and
may fade;
A breath can unmake them, as
breath has made.
But q bold peasantry, their country's
pride,
Once stricken down, can never be
supplied"
applies to the situation as well as any.
Deprive the toiler, the common man,
and his family of the right to liv-
ing and you have disaster to the COM
munity It is the interest of the ordi-
nary fellow that needs looking after;
when he is cared for the others have
no trouble.
Up to this time we have not been
advocates of large department stores

NO MORE BEAUTIFUL
FLOWER THAN GRATITUDE

At the First Christian church yes
terday morning Rev. A. C. Smither
preached on the subject, Mary
Amounting Jesus" He said in part:
THE gospel is a picture gallery of
the life of Jesus. Among it's most
beautiful paintings is that of Mary
amounting Jesus. 1t occurs at a feast
made in honor of Jesus revealing him
as a Christ sharing in all the proper
experiences of human life. He was no
ascetic, but was a man laboring among
men for their uplifting and ennobie-
his head AN feet precious ointment
and wiped hisfset with the hair of her
head.
ION Mary's part this was an act of
gratitude to Jesus for having loosed
her brother from the hands of death.
No more beautiful flower grows in the
garden of the human heart than graft
tude, There is no baser passion of the
human soul than ingratitude. This Of
fering came from heart of love, for
Mary profoundly loved him who had
brought such a great blessing to her
heart and life and family. Jesus drew
about him a number of women who
We're most devoted to him and lavished
their wealth of love upon him. 1t is
no marvel when the loveliness of Jesus
is remembered.
Mary brought her offering to Jesus
while he was living. She bestowed
her gifts upon him during his earthly
life She was a believer in 'taffy'
rather than 'eptaphy How many a
life hungers for flower in daily ex-
periences whose tombs shall wear the
garlands they needed while making the
journey of life. Bestow the gift, the
love during life. Death will bring its
own rewards and will be oblivious to
floral offerings"

MR.. FINLAYSON ADDRESSES
BIG MURPHY MEETING
Well Known Attorney Paints Beautiful
Pictures of Life of Jesus
Christ

Il believe that the time will come
when men and women will cease to
thirst for Intoxicating liquors, but in
stead will thirst for the righteousness
of God" declared Frank G. Finlayson,
who was the principal speaker at the
Murphy meeting last night in Blanch-
ard hall.
when men cease to thirst for liquor
continued the we'll known attorney, the
rum shops and breweries and all things
of that nature be blotted from the
earth"
This declaration brought forth a
round of applause from the large repre-
sentative audience.
The speaker said Jesus Christ came
to earth an humble man, mingled with
the people of all classes as he found
them and did not show an egotistical
preference for one class. The son of
God recognized the spark of divinity in
every human soul.
Beautiful word pictures were painted
by the speaker, in which he described
the actions of Jesus when he lived
among men. and these were applied
forcefully to the questions under dis
cussion. The fact that men in every
walk of life have some good points was
emphasized, and a request made that
when an estimate of a man is being
made that it be remembered he has q
spark of divinity in him just as the best
men in the land have, be his business
what 1t may.
Next Monday evening the members
of the association will celebrate in
honor of the sixty-ninth birthday of
Francis Murphy. the great temperance

Anglers Make Fine Catches at Port
Los Angeles


Special to The Herald
SANTA MONICA, April 16.-An end
less string of anglers, which included
men, women and children, lined both
sides of the long wharf at Port Los
Angeles today, nearly all of whom were
successful to greater or less degree.
The varieties of the fish caught made
up an assortment that probably coll
tained every species frequenting these
waters while the sizes were as var
iegated as the anglers themselves
Perch. tomcod, bass, founders, SOLE
surf fish, sun fish and others varieties
too numerous to mention and too
scarce to classify were proudly carried
off by the anglers many of whom had
baskets full and overflowing as a re-
suit of their days sport.
At the Ocean Park, Playa del Rey
and Santa Monica short piers some
fishing was INDUCED in, but no catches
of any consequence rewarded the fish
ermen, a few herring and an occa-
sional bass being all that was in evil
dence.
Seals have become numerous in the
vicinity of Playa del Rey and they
have apparently scared all the fish
away FROM the waters thereabouts

hate to see the man who looks as
though he were praying and trying
to look good. 1 hate pretense. 1 want
to be just a natural man"
This was the simple declaration of
the Rev. DR.. Myer last evening at
the closing service of the series of
meetings held the past week in temple
auditorium.
Jesus Christ is Lord! Jesus Christ
is my lord Jesus Christ is lord of
my life henceforth!'
These words were uttered by the
vast congregation of hundreds of peo-
pie who packed Temple auditorium
from floor to ceiling, many standing
during the entire service. Dr. Meyer,
in his closing address, made a direct
appeal to the people to confess Christ
as their lord and master.
"I want you all to glorify Christ"
said the speaker, II want you bias
rhemer and you libertine; you woman
of fashion and you young girl with
your lover. 1 want this whole vast
congregation to confess Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Some of you perhaps, can not say it.
That word my makes a great deal of
difference. Any one can say the Lord
is master. A devil may say it, and
you may be a devil Even devils
can't help 1t. II is a fact. You may
live apart from it, but 1t is so whether
you like 1t or not. Let every knee in
heaven, above earth, and of the earth,
and of hell, which is below the earth,
bow and confess Christ is Lord and
Master.
II believe heaven interiaces this
earth, and that the great white throne
is in sight, if these eyes could but see
it. I believe God is as much here to-
night, as on any jasper throne.
This is Palm Sunday and the holy
Easter season is drawing near Christ
took the form of man and even obey
ed the law of death. He could have
obeyed that law by peacefully dying
in that house of Nazareth, in the low
ing arms of Mary, but he saw the
cross of Calvary and said that many
of his martyrs would die a hard death
for him, and that he would die the
hardest death that he might bear the
sin of the world and make this a re-
deemed race"
The service last evening, was the
most successful of all the services of
the noted English divine held in Los
Angeles.
DR.. Meyer will conduct final meet
ing Thursday evening in the First
Methodist church, after which he will
go to Portland, Oregon, where he will
conduct a series of meetings.

offered their assistance in raising suf-
ficient funds to improve a half block of
land owned by the city and offered by
the park commissioners as a park and
playground for the kindergarten and
younger children of the city schools.

suitable place for young children to
play and spend their spare moments
when out of the school room.
