When Rev. p. Goshen arose 20
respond TO the toast The Duties OF
Ciuzenship' the hour was very late,
and the reverend gentleman remarked
mat he would not detsnn the gathering
very long lie thereupun discarded
his notes and spoke for some minutes
extemporausously on the theme sug-
gested by thoughts on Good Ciulen-
ship he said 90 part: 'lt would De

privileges and imposes like responsi-
Dilities NO truly moral man desires

Rev. Goshen referred 90 the' esTeri-
ence Of the city OF Chicago, and what
had been accomplished boy two men,
Peter Bortzen and "Fisn' Murray. Tn,
former was appointed head Of tn'

when complaints were made 10 MN
that the great mercantile house ga
Marshall Field a. Co. compelled its
lady clerks 20 stand out To the storm
until the doors opened, he notified "a,
management that the practise would
have to stop. No attention waE paid

been accustomed TO running things ~

possession Of the place and closed the
institution until the order was com
piled with.

TRIBUNE MENDACITY.
The speaker attempted 70 stop sew
eral times on account OF the lateness
OF the hour but he was met with cries
OF GO on go on" He then took up
theme which he said would prob
ably offend some present but he said
he did not care for that. as long as 10
was the truth. and the necessity for
saying Il was very great. The Trib-
une. i'm its report Of the speech, gives
this part Of the reverend gentleman
speech in the following manner, which
is branded by Rev. Goshen as a wilful
peryersion Of his remarks, Intention

In the man ~ the United States.
said Mr. Goshen, "all OF the states are
colored with their proper colors except
the state Of Utah. That state remains
a black spot. II the state Of Utah Is
to become what e should be, IL IL nee
essary that the black spot should be
removed. In order that we should found
an empire here. we must be sure that
10 "A 10 he there
is Of citizenship. Let us build here a
city Of which no man shall be ashmed. %
WHAT HE DID SAY.
This is what Rev. Goshen did say on
the subject:
"A good citizen ought to believe i'm
the city OF his choice: he ought TO
have faith IN its integrity IN its pro-
gress. in its citizenship. II / thought
salt Lake City we're as bad place as
/ some pretend that Il Is. then I am
sure / would move out OF IL and md
some other place over which ] could
enthuse.
1T is dlilcult to see how This city
can be kept from growing and achlov-
Ing prosperity And yet there are
forces here constantly at work that do
keep our city and our state from the
supremest growth-forces that I'm my
opinion are tOllAihAN " NAflA .AAHAAa -
In vain Will we attempt TO attract
capital to our state; in vain will We
attempt TO locate Industries and
great factories here. unless we first
establish an atmosphere conducive 20
growth. What Salt Lake supremeiy
needs-what Utah supremacy needs Is
that harmony shall dwell within its
borders and actuate It's citizenship. Tn
this connection ] shall speak plainly
/ ctr that d Hha
facts as they are. ] do NOT seek to
please you: and 1 care not II / offend
you.
