leaders.
Think before you shout, THAT'S
ALL! The fight on polygamy ended
in 1890. There's never been anything
else to fight about.
The man who does not accord to his
fellowman the rights he claims for
himself is not an American in prin-
ciple.
Salt Lake is lacking in principle in
true Americanism
Gambling.
Gambling is a curse, but to gamble
in some way or another seems to be
a natural trait in a big majority OF
the human family. The first move to-
ward stopping gambling is for the
man who writes strong articles about
1t to stop his own poker game The
second move should be for every man
who Is the head of family to refrain
from card playing in the home where
life's habits are formed. The father
is the ideal of the child, the father fol-
lows the sports, the boy follows the
father.
The third move should be for the
teachers and the preachers to get to
the ears of the people who gamble and
show them the error of their way.
Thousands of people have never been
taught how to live and they don't
know how. Everybody seeks happi-
ness from his own strata of life. Lift

ly, by example, the doing as well as
the saying.
The man who runs the faro game
or the saloon is not the only blameable
one.
Turn some of your attention upon
the frequenters; they, too, are to
blame, and were it not for these, there
would be neither dens nor keepers.
1t is easier to take men away from
the vices by example and moral per-
suasion than to take the vices from
men by law. Laws to some extent
regulate, and they are necessary, but
if law is too far ahead of the moral
or intelligent status of the people, it
will be broken. When the question
involves the appetites men naturally
resent interference either by law or
by individuals, as to when and what
they shall eat and drink. The moral
side of the scale must be poised in
harmony with the law.
In New York and other larger cities
I have visited the laws are made by
the few and seemingly broken by the
many.
We need a revival in true manhood,
in principle, in virtue, in integrity.
The world has been money-mad for
sometime. During the past year
many of our ideals have fallen into
the dust. We must create new ones.

Let us see. to it that they are of
higher and better kind.
Lies problems must be- solved by
intellectual soul growth of higher self
and moral development.
The criminality of Salt Lake doesn't
all exist in the neglect of the police
department, nor with the city council.
The actual citizenship of our city is
as good if not better than anywhere
else.
In men whom men condemn as i'll,
| find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine,
find so much of sin and blot
hesitate to draw the line between
the two,
Where God has not"
We don't want angels, but we do
need men.
The greater part of our depredations
are committed by vicious characters
who flock in here from the larger
cities of the east
Speak out for Salt Lake City. Sing
the songs of home, sweet home, wher.
ever your may roam.
The east and the west will know
each other better when the mists have
rolled away.
When we consider the healthy eli
mate, the charming location and the
very many natural advantages sur
rounding us on every hand, songs of
gladness should well up from every
heart which dwells in these beautiful
valleys.
Tell the truth about our city, state
and people, and the population of Salt
Lake will be doubled in a very few
years.
AS Christmas joy bells are ringing
in the birthday of love, let the people
of Utah join with Him who said, "Love
thy neighbor as thy SELF" and in one
glad acclaim sing:
Peace on earth; good will to men,"
Let us all unite for a greater Salt
Lake and nobler manhood
Mildly judge, then, of thy neighbor,
Be to condemnation slow;
The very best have got their failings,
Something good the worst can
show"
Hoping for a merry Christmas and
happy New Year for everybody.
Yours for Utah,
JOHN P. MEAKIN.

to the passing stranger as they them

done to them.
Some of my most pleasing remin-
iscences are of hours spent at ..Saet-
ers," far from town or hamlet, where
a strange face was a guest to be well
coined. The word "saeter" is very
nearly the equivalent of our word
farm, or ranch; for though sometimes
applied merely to a meadow, it gener-
ally means ground which produces
crops and has a dwelling upon it.
1t was an unusually enjoyable day
on which 1 had lost myself and wan

route, along the banks of ripping
streams and placid, lakes, through tan
giles of willow and beech and stretches
of pine, over high and barren fields

told of another saeter 1 might hope to

lane was reached, and the soft soil
showed tracks of cow and a pair of
bare feet. Night. was gathering over
head when a wreath of smoke curling
skyward betokened a possible resting
place. The saeter was reached, and
a nights shelter requested. The wo-
man said she would gladly provide it,
but that other "fremmede" (stran-
gers), woman and little boy, had
arrived some time previous and would
occupy the only spare bed. The wo-
man had come leading a COW, and the
little boy had ridden on it's back. How
ever, permission was obtained to

Call for Quarterly Reports.

The attention of post commanders

commissioner of pensions, and they
are strongly urged to comply with the
request of the Commissioner:
''In view of the rapid increase in the
number of deaths among soldiers of
the civil war nearly, if not quite, for
ty thousand this year, and the desira-
bility that the record of the names of
survivors and their postoffice ad-
dresses should be kept as accurately
as possible, I have the honor to re-
quest your assistance.
IF you will kindly issue an order to
the adjutants of the Grand Army

quarterly report to this bureau of the
deaths of comrades, designating the
companies and regiments, batteries of
artillery or war vessels in or on which
they served. the work will be greatly

some broad wooden benches. The
household consisted of little weaz-

smoked his pipe by the light of the
blazing fire, while the daughter

little boy was already slumb ering in
one of the big beds, and his mother
was attending to the COW, while the
hostess hustled about her household
duties.
Presently the latest conner asked
permission to retire, but he was bid

be given something better than the

Deeds That Won Honor Medals.


Gen. Nelson A. Miles is a Medal of
Honor man, and so are Gems William
r. Shafter, Arthur Macarthur, Henry
c. Merriam and Lloyd Wheaton. On
May 8, 1863, Miles was in command of
skirmishers as colonel of the Sixty
first New York volunteers. They were
holding line of abattis against a
strong force of Confederates. Miles is
a tall man, and makes a fair mark,
yet, to inspire his men, he kept jump
ing on an eminence and exposing him.
self, encouraging his followers by his
voice He fell, finally, badly wounded,
but lived to receive the Medal of Hon.
or for his conduct on that day. Gen.
Shafter won his medal by climbing
tree. He was wounded at the battle
of Fair Oaks, and to avoid being seen
by passing surgeon, he hid in tree.
When the surgeon was out of sight he
came down, and with hardly leg to
stand on, fought all day. This is why
he wears the Medal of Honor.
Gen. Macarthur won his medal when
as subaltern in a Wisconsin regi-
ment he charged with it up the deadly
slope of Missionary Ridge. The color
bearers were picked off one after an
other, and at a critical moment the
flag. fell from the hands of wounded
sergeant. Macarthur grasped the staff
and a little later planted it on the
crest of the ridge. Gen. Merriam, at
Fort Blakely, Ala, was colonel of a
regiment of colored troops. With his
men he was awaiting impatiently an
order to charge. Finally he asked per-
mission to charge ahead of orders and
was told to go eff he wanted to bad
enough He led his negroes in one
of the most heroic charges ever made
and won promotion and a medal of
honor. Gen. Wheaton earned his
medal at the same time and place. He
was leading the right wing of his regi-
ment across the open toward the fort
in the face of terrific fire of artiI-
lery and musketry. Reaching the
place, he sprang through an embra-
sure from which bullets were raining
and was the first man to enter the
fort.
