The Great West.

But this literature! The press of
the country everywhere today seeks
articles upon the west: and IL Is not
considered the thing for any magazine
not to have something concerning the
west Appeals are made to certain
class of men who love nature to furnish
these articles all the time. IT. is end
less You people would be perfectly
surprised II you could know how nu-
merous are the magazines today ask
ing for these things.
The old literature was very re-
markable. / have seen, and examined
more or less, seven hundred volumes
upon the history Of the northwest, an
tedating this century and the last half
OF the last century. That is the old
literature. But the new literature
that is presented today is remarkable.
And even theatres consider them
selves today pledged TO present scenes
of western life. They misrepresent
them some, but at the same time they
realize the necessity.

Salt Lake Exposition.

And / bid you now to look forward
somewhat, TO about 1908, when we will
come to Salt Lake city to visit an ex-
position that will be held here. Now,
as we see these conditions, study the
new literature and realize the changed
conditions: as we look at the success
Of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, let
us ask ourselves this question: Isn't
this the absolutely critical moment
for parties interested in this move
ment to seize upon these features and
use them?' You are not here TO
create forces. The forces are at your
command, and it remains for the
prominent men whom we have elected
to seize upon these forces and direct
them in such manner that the east
shall no longer be ignorant concerning
tho West in any respect whatsoever.

BrieandS in Utah.

The West changes mans opinion
nightly. 1t is perfectly wonderful
to follow men that have lived only in
the east and come west with them.
1t is delightful. ] tell you that men
who visit the Western world often re-
fuse to leave it. 1t makes the things
that have so concerned them in the
east and all they have accumulated
on Wall Street seem so insignificant
and petty. And before they came out
here it had been announced to them
that the people of the vest, the peo-
pie Of Utah here, were all brigands;
that If they should come out here
they must come with their pistols
loaded prepared to defend themselves.
And they come out TO this country
here prepared TO find brigands, and
they soon learn that the place where
pistols were needed was in Wall
Street, New York. and not on the trails
of the west. A mans purse is safer
on the trails of the wilderness out
here than IL is in that little trail back
there-yaStlv so.

History Of The West,

THESE are things all grouped about
us and / can assume to speak Of them
only in hints. But they will tell you
when you speak about and explicit
American scenery that it is all so new,
so childish and has no history. We
Americans have largely neglected the
fact that American scenery does have
history. We have forgotten, for in
stance, the old Indian history and
Dutch history, early French history
OF those times that date back one,
two, three and four centuries. And
then the people say that we have no
history. The Oldest house on the con-
tinent is west Of us yet. And II you
care TO do so you will be able to find
that the rivers of our continent will
stand as fair test OF historical study
as will the Rhine. Should any man
bring you 200 pictures that shall
refer to the history OF the Rhine, /
will pledge you to give you as many
on old Columbia. We have histories
clustered about those old rivers on
this western continent. They are
splendid, every one of them

VeSuviuS a Little THING.

Il was once with gentleman at
Naples. We were commenting upon
the sublimity of Mount Vesuvius.
My friend turned upon me and said,
'Ah, but you people in America have
no Mount Nesuvius.' No. said, we
haven't Mount Vesuvius, and ad-
nit that it is splendid peak, but, sir,
| can find you on the Western half OF
the American continent an extinct
volcano whose crater is big enough TO
hold Mount Vesuyus. was up there

At the recent session Of the "See
America First" conference in Salt
Lake City, DR.. Roland G. Grant, a
lecturer of international reputation,
delivered an address thst was appre,i-
ated to the limit. In this issue THE
REPUBLICAN, presents about one-half
OF that address, and in the following
issue will present the remainder. DR..
Grants personality and way OF pre-
senting his remarks is such part of
the pleasure in listening to him that
the cold type scarce reflects the rea
beauty OF his address, yet there Is
much in this article Of exceeding in
tercsL,
Following an introduction by Secre-
tary Fisher Harris, Dr. Grant launched
out in the usual greetings, which is
cut out and then got down to business
as follows:
"And so let me say here that new
literature has grown out concerning
the west, for have in my mind pur-
pose Europe to see America and
the Americans to see America Those
are two great and are desirable things
but haven't time now to speak OF
Europe seeing America, but In the
past ! have spoken much OF 1t. And

do this almost every morning after the
evening lecture, because | feel that to
inaugurate that idea with the child
rem is a splendid purpose.
The new literature is woderful
when you think Of II. The railroads
hemselvcs-tho heartless, soulless
corporations-hav become literary in
situations, and are issuing high grade
magazines. Who would have dreamed
Of this ten years ago? 1t seems impos-
sible; but now we see that they have
a soul And they have an eye TO the
beautiful, for those magazines today
represent, not simply the locality, but
| have been charmed to find that they
ask of us that we shall give them art
icles representing absolutely their OPP
positeS, the things Of interest TO other
great railroad corporations They ask
that we shall give them articles upon
some locality which they do not serve.
And / have been delighted to notice
this broadening spirit Of this new lit.
erature.
II would like 10 speak TO you for
hours about the old literature Of this
northwest. Nobody has told me how
long ! am to speak and am perfectly
delighted at that, for feel about like
the Irishman when he went TO buy
clock. He was told that it would run
eight days without winding and he
answered and said, how long will 1t
run II YOU wind it?'

A New Civilization.

II want to say again that there is a
new civilization to be developed west
OF the Rocky mountains. 1t will be
unlike anything elsa new civili-
zation. There are conditions, forces
that shall make the civilization Of
this western half of the continent as
unlike the eastern as you will find
when you cross the English channel
into France. That new civilization
demands at our hands the most care
full consideration. | have so many
things to say about it that you
couldn't endure hearing it all. 1t is
something to think about, however
And the governors Of these new west.
ern states, as i have said to them,
compared with the governors of the
New England and eastern states in
the days when they planted that
region, have very much the same con-
dition that We wonder at as we look
back today on our governors Of the old
New England states and see clearly
what they have done. In hundred
years the people will look back upon
the governors Of these western states
and realize that they too planted an
entirely new region, built an entirely
new empire and developed an entirely
new civilization. 1t is moral Ger.
tainty, a scientific fact.

Museums Needed.

II want TO urge at this moment, be-
fore it slips from my mind, that this
question of history is exceedingly need
full in this exploitation. want to urge
upon these cities of the west to begin
Immediately to make museums.
Don't laugh, have right TO talk
about this. carry 1000 specimens
all the time. OF course they are not
mastodons. want you to begin a
museum that shall be q convenience
anyway. Why you can have a
museum here today just as big as the
British museum was when the British
museum was no larger than the one
you will start here today. / want
you to do il. | would be perfectly de-
lighted to add any possible help in
that direction TO any one of these be-
cause OF my love OF that thing. j
want you to begin the accumulation
OF these historical facts. Begin now
while you can.
And tourists love those things.
You don't think they do; you tell me
That you don't care about them, but
they do. Where does your tourist
stop? Did you ever see an old tourist
that didn't run immediately to the
first little museum of skins and hides
and curios that were made on the spot
out OF material that came from
Europe? Who does not see that thing
done? | have seen enough stun sold
out OF a certain kind of material at
Niagara Falls to destroy the whole OF
