The Manufacturers association or
ganized for the upbuildlng of the city
recognized that these things exist and
that they are hindrance to the up
building OF the city. We know this to

the cooperation of all good citizens
TO help make conditions such that shey

all over the world here and they know
that conditions are a hindrance to the

"A MODEL MAYOR.

49, N'+~'N 49, NV
In the East Side Baptist church yes
terday morning, Rev X. S. Walker took
as his theme, "A Model Mayor" when
he said:
THE men the city needs today are
those TO whom service Will cost some-
thing. Not the professional politician
In the city service for revenue onlyt
The public demands our best men. Our
men OF largest interests. The shame OF
America is the government Of her cities,
Too often 1t is because that govern
ment is left to the ward politician and
political boss, and the party trickster.
If you ask IL Salt Lake needs such
men as Nehemiah. look at some OF the
conditions. The speaker then depicted
gambling, the women in scarlet and
places Of pleasure which are vile and
demoralizlng.
"rhe city not only asks for her best
men in office, but demands the people
to rise to their highest citizenship and
demand the enforcement OF law, that Is
disregarded and repudlated as though
laws were made to be ignored. II OH.
GERS are lax In their convictions, 1t Is
because the people are lax In their con-
victions. The issue is back 10
US. At our doors lay the brok.
en- homes and the destroyed lives the
debauched morals OF our youths. the
lost virtue OF our girls II we sit idly
Dy content to see the law breaker pro.
tected and the home destroyer safe"
Nehemiah consulted right He took
not counsel of expe1iency, popularity or
self interest. He did not ask about the
votes at the next election. lie did not
receive the fine of a Chamber or prosti-
tute as protection from prosecution. He
asked what is right. The answer to
that question settled the question of
action. He used caution and tact but
not TO the compromise Of right He nos
sessed an Inyincible courage. He feared
not ridicule, conspiracy, SANDER or
treachely. He quailed not before man
or the devil. He trembled only before
God. Right Gods eternal right made
him brave Such men God honors. not
the poor cowardly craven. afvlid Of his
position. afraid of his party, afraid IF
the devil afraid OF his own shadow. at
last to be afraid of his conscience. but
the man of convictions, clear cut and
positive with courage that equips for
unfaltering service. These are the men
God honors. Witness Nehemiah or
Folk, Jerome or Roosevelt.
