A certain old book which still cir
culates more extensively in the homes
of the people than any other, and
which is noted for the wisdom and
truth of its statements, declares that
che who would have friends must
show himself friendly" The truth of
this declaration has been proven by
the experiences Of men and women
through the passing centuries.
There is another truth in the same
connection. He who would never be
without friends must not forget to add
to their number with the passing
years. He must keep young heart
within his breast, must be interested
in men and their movements and
must show that interest by his deport-
ment toward Others. In this world
men are mortal. We are admonished
by the events of life that our best and
dearest friends must pass on, leaving
us behind for little while, and apt
to be little lonely unless we can ex-
cite the interest and win the friend
ship of those who have more recently
come in contact with our lives.
Itis frequently said that there are
no friends like the old friends. There
is much truth in the saying. Those
who began life with us, or, perhaps,
are little older, and with whom our
associations have been of the most in
innate and confidential character, can
never be replaced. After the long ST.
lence comes to them we feel lonely.
We lack the assistance, the counsel
and advice, the sympathetic associa-
ton which began in young manhood,
Or even in boyhood, and continued for
many years. The old friends can
never be forgotten. Their memories
will ever remain bright and radiant
in the inner chamber, where our most
sacred emotions and feelings are treas
1red.
Yet the new friends must also be
made if we would not come to an old
age of loneliness and neglect. And
hey are worth cultivating. Among
he rare pleasures of life is the oppor-
unity of meeting new people who
prove both interesting and helpful,
The world contains many of that sort.
Be it our ambition and our fortune to
inter into friendly relations with some
# these choice spirits with each pass
ng year.

Despite the fact that Salt Lake is
known far and wide by her local show
places, not all her beautiful homes are
accessible TO the casual observer. A
drive of about. seventeen miles is need
ed to bring one TO the choicest spots for
homes around Zion, although a few of
the handsomeSt homes are on the road
between Salt Lake and the Cotton
moods.

keNtent. lies in the magnificent natural
surroundings. which are unimagined by

A Daring Hold-up.

A daring hold-up ina passenger car
took place at Emporia, Va, at late
hour Wednesday night at the Atlantic
Coast Line depot. A number of excur-
sionists from Rocky Mount, N. O., aud
vicinity, who had been attending the
Emporia Fair, we're waiting Tor belat-
cd train to which their special cars we're
to be attached. Many of the excursion
lists we're colored, and the waiting room
provided for their race was crowded.
Suddenly a man entered their apartment
with a railroad lantern and shouted,
"All aboard p There was Immediately
a scramble for the four passenger coaches
standing on q siding. When one of the
cars was well filled the lights were quick
ly extinguished and several men started
through the car firing revolvers and de-
msnding that every excursionist give up
his or her valusbles. A dozen or more
persons surrendered their watches, small
handbags, etc.
The robbers, who are supposed to have
been whites, with their faces blscked,
then jumped from the car and disappear
ed across the Meherrin river. The night
was dark and a heavy rain was falling,
making pursuit difficult.
Soon after midnight an attempt was
made to break into the Virginia Hotel,
opposite the railroad station, and pistol

From Washington.

Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, Oct. 10.
The specific reasons for opposition of
the American Federation of Labor to
the reelection of Speaker Cannon are
given in public statement issued today
on the authority of President Gompers
by Thomas Tracy, the political campaign
manager OF the federation. 1t is in the
form of reply 10 a recently published
interview with Frank 2. Sargent, Com
missioner General of immigration 10
which Mr. Sargent endeayored to show
that Mr.. Cannon was friend of labor.
The statement says: "Prior to Mr.. Sar-
gents appointment BY President Roose-
yelt to the position he DOW holds, be
was an officer of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen. This organization with
one or two other organizations OF rail-
road men has never had any utilization
with the American Federation of Labor
since its inception, and when MIR. Sar-
gent speaks it is not in the name of the
American Federation of Labor" The
remainder of the statement is recapitu-
lation of charges recently made against
Mr.. Cannon concerning his attitude to-
ward organized labor and the eight-hour
law.
Every member of President Roose-
velts cabinet, except Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, were at the Cabinet
meeting today. Cuban matters were
gone over thoroughly, Secretary TAFT go
ing over in a general way the situation
as he had already reviewed it for the
President. Successors for Gov. Magoon
as minister to Panama and as governor
of the canal zone, as well as lieutenant
governor of the Philippines, we're dis
cussed. The President also brought up
the subject of his trip to Panama.
The Aetna Banking and Trust Com
pany (branch) was today closed by
direction of the Acting Comptroller Of
the Currency. Robert Lyons has been
appointed receiver. This company is a
b,anch of the Aetns Banking and
Trust Company, of Butte, Mont, in
cOrporated under the laws OF west VIZ
GINA. An examination of the bank
inst completed by the national bank ex-
aminer shows the bank to be insolvent.
The resources and liabilities as shown
by the last report September 4, were
1923, 1926 each.
The first information of the conviction Of
the Standard Oil Company at Findlay, D.,
reached the Department of Justice this morn
ing through the Publishers Press. Although
the high officials and special agents of the
department who have been identified with
trust investigation could not conceal the
qualification they felt over the result, they
declined TO express anv opinion for publica-
ton. Attorney General Moody explained
that although the prosecution was for con
spirscy 10 restrain Of trade, it was conducted
by the Stats Of Ohio under its own laws and
that the Department of Justice could express
no opinion upon the merits of the case until
it had carefully reviewed the testimony.

the cat yacht Bird while the father was
sailing the craft across the Great Egg
Harb0r bay, N. j., and the mother WAS
