REV. FRANK DE WITT TALMAeE. D. D.

I Os ANGELES. CAL. September O.
The temptations, burdens and re-
- sponsibilities of great wealth form
the theme Of this timely sermon. the text
for which Is taken frorl Ecclesiastes, w.
10, "He that loveth silver shall not be sat
sfed with silver nor he that loveth
, abundance with increase"
I have no sympathy with the dema-
gogues who are trying to antagonize the
masses against the classes. 1 have utter
contempt for the false agitators who
preach the infamous doctrine that every
person who dresses In broadcloth or in
silk is an enemy to his race, and that the
insignia of all human projections can
| only be found in the laborers soiled gar
ments and in the nuftering rags Of a
filthy. unkemp tramp. The outward APP
pearanee of man does not always portray
his true character. Thus we find some Of
the blacklist sheep feeding among the
tiocks browsing in all pacture lands. The
wealth of a man or the poverty of a man
cannot be used as a criterion by which
TO Judge whether the nature of that man
is pure or impure There have been many
rich men with true hearts and noble i'm
pulses, men of simple lives and benefcent
deeds. The world remembers with reyer-
ence such men as Sir Moses Montefiore,
whose life was conseerated to charity;
Baron Hrseh, who Duilt and endowed
homes for the shelter of prosecuted Jews;
Peter Cooper whose splendid institution
is still developing the genius of the poor,
and William e. Dodge whose benefac-
lions extended to the por and struggling
of his day. Who would dream of placing
the portraits of Robert Morris and Jay
Cooke In the rogues' gallery. The patriotic
banker who risked his fortune in the Sup
port of Washington and the millionaire
who stood by the side of Secretary Chase
during the darkest days of the civil war
were true patriots. Robert Morris money
and Jay Cookies money were just as es-
sential to American liberties as were the
soldiers who carried the muslSets ard fired
the cannon.

withered palm of his hand as he said :
"Ah, We beauties how | love to hear

as we see the miser of the inordina tie

THE CLIPPER BLOCK.

The handsome new home of the Davis
county Clipper, just completed, OccU-
pies one of the best business corners on
the main road of Bountiful, just three
blocks from the motor depot. The
building is thoroughly modern in it's
equipment. Its cement floors and metal
ceilings and galvanized iron castings on
windows and doors make it practically
freproof. Its stairways of brick form
a vault in which newspaper and mag
azine clippings will be preserved in sys-
tematic classification for editorial pur-
poses and as a sort Of news-encyclope-
dia. IL addition to these conveniences,
the building is well lighted, well heat
ed and provided with water from the
city water works.
1t is interesting to contrast the con-
ditions surrounding the Clipper today
with those of its earlier years. Fifteen
years ago it was struggling for an ex-
istence in the cellar. of az old store at
the south end of Main street. In those
days its founder, Lamont Call, and his

The recent campaign in Davis county
brought out as nominees for the lower
house of the legislature two of the rep
resentative business men, The success
full Republican candidate was James A.
EIdredge. a man whose life during the
last twenty-five years has been SO
closely wrapped up in the commercial
interests of the county and state that
no story of their progress would be
complete without a sketch of his career.
Mr. Eidredge's first activities were di-
rected toward the Improvement of his
stock ranch in southern Idaho, place
he ACQUIRED in the early eighties. But
the great awakening in Canada drew
his attention to the extensive and rich
lands of Alberta, and in 1900 he located
I'm this new field. Since then he has
been president and general manager of
the EIdredge Brothers Live Stock COM
pany, the successful history of which
is sufficient comment on his business
ability.
While his efforts were spent in man
aging his Canadian holdings, Mr.. Ed
redge also found time to aid in the up
building of new enterprises in his home
county. The Woods Cross Canning &
| Picking company. started fifteen years
ago. was one Of the first to receive the
support of his strong arm. OF this in
stitution he is still vicS president. As
director of the Davis County bank and
as president of the BOuntiful State
baliK. he is in a position to feel the
pulse of the commercial world and use
his Influence in directing its energies.
In addition to the offices already men
Toned, Mr.. Eldredge is a director in
lie Bo'ntiful Coop, the pioneer mer-
camille esta Enlistment of the county,
and in the Utah Packing plant, now in
course of erection.
No mans life is complete without
some attention to the development of
his higher SELF no man can have the
elements of greatness about him, unless
he spends some time in the helping of
his fellows. The representative-elect
from Davis county has always found
opportunity 10 do charitable deeds. and
has thereby won the universal esteem
of his acquaintance. He is at present
first counsellor TO the president of the
stake, and devotes a great deal of his
spare time to the duties belonging to
that office. With such q man to rep
resent them in the coming legislature,
the people of this county feel that they
have one who Will acquit himself in a
manner laudatory to himself and bene-
fetal to his constituents and his state.

this the Clipper is successful. Every

through the county, not alone to secure
news items, but also to study the con-
ditiOns OF the people. to ascertain their
feelings in regard to local questions,
and TO boost new enterprises and pub
lie movements.
This fact has resulted in a close re-
lationship between the Clipper and the
people Of the county. The Clipper has
become the voice of the people; every
community speaks through its columns,
and every hearth is reached by its in
SEPARATIONS This has led to a condition
IN which the residents of adjoining
counties are transacting deals in real
estate, and IN the products of Davis
county generally through the columns
of the Clipper.

Davis county has no young man VIII }
Is grasping the opportunities of daily
life more than is Henry w. Stable,
present county clerk. Mr.. Stable is
young man of a broad business abil-
1ty. which, though he is yet young, is
marked with the maturity of expert
ence. A mission. to the south in 1896
gave him his introduction to the world
of active contact. During that short
period of time he holds the distinction
of having superintendent the construc-
tion of the first three Mormon churches
built in the state of North Carolina.
In 1900 Mr.. Stable received a diploma
from the business department of the L.
ID. s college, and upon leaving school
he secured the position OF boOkkeeper
of the Bountiful Lumber & Building
association. In 1901 he was elected a
director in that company and later vice
president and secretary, which position
be held for FIVE years. In BOunti-
full city he has held the offices OF clerk
and councilman.
Mr.. Stable has been inclined from
youth toward the study of law. While
taking his business course in the l. D.
S. college he took advantage of daily
class in law; during the first year IN
der c. B. Stewart and the second year
under J. NJ. Tanner. His election to
the clerkship of Davis county in 1902
paved the way for the application of
the principles he had mastered. Short
~ following his election as clerk he re-
oeived his diploma for a three-years'
full law course in the Home Cerrespon-
dence school of Springfield, Mass. Mr.
Stable has occupied the clerks Office
continuously since that time, having
been reelected in 1904 and 1906. Dur
ing this time he has engaged in a
broad reading OF the law which, added
10 his technical training. has caused
him TO be regarded as one Of the most
efncisnt clerks in the state.

THE BOUNTIFUL COOP.

The Bountiful Cooperative Mercan-
tile Institution, established in 1869, is
the oldest mercantile house in Davis
county. Its organization followed close
ly that OF the q. C. Nj. /. of Salt lake
City, and was in spirit of enterprise
simply a radiation Of the cooperative
movement that began with that insti-
tuition. The firm was incorporated in
1869 and has grown with the town,
claiming for itself the major portion of
the patronage of the neighborhood. In
spite of consistent competition the
business of the past year will reach
the 100000 mark

has also become a regular part of the

This company holds a large tract of
farming land at Syracuse Junction,

The Bountifui opera house is one of
the largest and most stately buildings
In Davis county. Davis county has no
other well-equipped opera house, and
the store department occupying the
ground floor is the largest individual
mercantile house in the county. Prior
to 1905 this property. worth probably
s14, 900, was owned and controlled by
the Bountiful Opera House company.

effort to get firm footing in the bus
