his work no other man could do as
well as he. Into each epoch no person.
ality but his own could perfectly fit.
Made the Epoch.
The man whose birth we celebrate to-
day was a striking example of this
principle He made an epoch and was
made by it. He largely created his OPP
portunity; and as 1t became greater, it
largely created him. His greatness
consisted in the fact that he grew with
and shaped the events in which he par
ticipated. They were never too big for
him; he was always well suited TO them.
In his case the man and the hour were
commensurate.
1t was perhaps not more by his choice
than by stern necessity that the people
he led came TO this region. The words
of George A. Smith, often repeated,
were probably best expressive of the
reason for their coming here: I'VE
came willingly because we were obliged
to-" But when the stern necessity
arose, and the choice seemed final be-
tween the murderous mob and the bar

ly and firmly to the occasion, and made
the opportunity his. If in way it was
forced upon him, he accepted II and
made the most of It We can not con-
ceive of him without the particular
events that made him famous. At the
same time, we cannot think that those
events would have had so happy an
outcome without him to master and d.
rect them. AS we have heard today,
his peculiar genius was fitted most to
the pioneering craftsmanship required

1 knew Brigham Young as intimate

him every need of credit and praise
for the great work he has accom-

not the work of Brigham Young alone;

which actuated those pioneers half a
century and more ago is present today
and is working for the uplift Of the
state in every way.
Hundreds of little toddlers enjoyed
their outing to the last degree. There
were things to be seen; there w5re
boat rides to be taken; there were to-
boggan slides and a miniature railroad:
there was such an immense quantity
of soda water to be drunk and SO very
very many dishes of ice cream to be
eaten, Oh, 1t was a joyful, enhancing
day for the youngsters.
Hundreds there were who renewed old
acquaintances. Hundreds had nos seen
one another for years and years. They
wanted to know about the family and
what, as the world drifted, OF good or
i'll had come to betide the ramifications
of the trunk of the genealogical tree.

honor of Brigham Young's birth.

hoppers and drouth, instituted irriga-
ton, reclaimed arid lands, built cities,
established newspapers, founded schools
and factories, and made the whole land
hum with their industry. The settle
ments formed by Brigham Young and
his people on the shores of the Great
Salt lake were a nucleus for western
civilization, and greatly facilitated the
colonization of the entire intermountain
region.
If, during the days of territorial de-
tendency, when Utah's character was
forming; and her feelings were tender
and hard to control, there was friction
and bitterness between Mormon" and
''Gentile"-the modern Guelf and Chi
belline-it was but natural. Americans

appojntees, prejudiced against the peo-
pie to whom they were sent, could not
hope to WELD the same influence as
men elected by and in full sympathy

Besides. there were old wounds that
would not suddenly heal. Misunder-
standings were general, and doubtless
there were blunderings on both sides.
Let us draw the mantle of charity over
all, and cherish the hope that the era
of good feeling which came with state
hood, came to stay.
Master Mind and Spirit.
In the midst of all the changes result
ing from the advent of the railroad, the
opening of the mines and the inflow of
outside capital and population, Brig
ham Young remained the master mird
and leading spirit Of his time. He built
railroads, extended telegraph lines, es-
tablished mercantile houses, fostered
home industries, and founded and en-
dowed institutions of learning that
live 20 perpetuate his name. Our mag
nificent church school system, and the
no less splendid public school system of
the state, the latter crowned by the
University OF Utah, founded by the
Mormon" pioneers, are largely the
fruits of Brigham Young's Jealous eff
forts in the cause Of education. Among
his varied talents was a genius for
architecture, some of the evidences of
which are the Theatre, the great taber-
nacle and the greater temple of Salt
Lake City. The Lion, the Beehive and
the Gardo houses were built by him.
and it was in the historic Lion house,
on the 18th Of August 1877, that the
great leader breathe1 his last.
A mere glimpse, this, at the life and
character of Utah's illustrious founder.
You who would pursue him more fully,
during its first half century; you who
would behold his works, look around
you-they are manifest on every hand.
He was the beating heart, the think
ing brain, the directing hand, in all the
wondrous work of Utah's development,
and the development to a large extent
of the surrounding states and terrific
ries. Brigham Young needs no biog-
rapher; his record is imperishably writ
ten upon the minds and hearts of tens
of thousands to whom he was a bene-
factor and friend. He needs no monu-
ment of marble or bronze. His name
and fame are forever enshrined in the
temple of history, in the pantheon of
memory. in the Westminster Abbey of
the soul.
He loved his people; their high destiny

see before me on the wall the words
Absent, but not forgotten" l do not
know why the word absent" should
have been used. How can we say that
Brigham Young is absent when we see
on every side the handiwork of Brig
ham Young, the mind of Brigham
Young, the evidence of civilization in
this land? Certainly be il not forgot
ten.
My first meeting with Brigham
Young was in Nauvoo, when was but
a child, in 1S43. / saw him there when
the people were compelled to take their
departure westward in search of new
homes. 1 stood beside the banks of the
Mississippi in 1916 and saw President
Brigham Young and his associates and
a long train of wagons filed with fam
lilies, the migrating people crossing on
the ice, and l stood as a child on the
banks OF that river wondering if 1
would ever again see the faces of those
of my family that were in the train;
in the train was my only surviving
brother, and 1 wondered If he would
escape the savages of the western wiids,
and l wondered if the family would
ever be reunited q
Flee From Nauvoo.\
In 1916 the remnant that remained in
Nauvoo was forced to flee from their
homes and pursue the trail led by
Brigham YouI--- 1 heard the roar of
cannon and the rattle of musketry that
followed. A few hustled their things
together and got into skiffs and fat
boats and went into Iowa, without
shelter.
But why should we dwell upon these
scenes? They are past now.
Across the prairieS of Iowa Brigham
Young made his way. In 1S47 he start
ed with a company of pioneers to seek
out this valley, and he did.
When Brigham Young returned to
camp is when my personal acquaint-
ance with him began. / want to say to
you, my friends, that he was a father,
a guardian and protector then to the
widows and the fatherless; and 1 want
to say, further, that thousands who re-
manned behind looked upon him not as
the president of the church, but as the
protector of the weak and the defense
less and the adviser and counsellor.
have to say now that no man, or wo-
man, or child in need ever placed a
trust in Brigham Young that was
placed in vain.
On Intimate Terms.
When, in this place, we met in daily
conference, ! found in Brigham Young
all that one could expect of wise
counsellor and a great and inspired
man. 1 was brought into almost daily
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-06-02

of him. And it was largely due to him
that it was required.
1t has always been the fate of great
men to be misunderstood and maligned,
even by some of their associates But
a general principle can be laid down
for all such cases. and that is, that
those who misunderstood them are al
most always inferior; those who malign
them are always inferior to them. 1t
is a principle that does net fail of appli
cation in the case of Brigham Young.
He was most admired by those who
could most nearly measure up to his
standard. His maligners and enemies
were chiefly those who because of i'm
measurable inferiority failed to un-
derstand him. Who mistook his geniCs
for directing men, for tyranny; his re-
ligious fervor for fanaticism, and his
financial ability for avarice.
Creator and Director.
In their eyes, his cCnsummate ability
as a creator and director of a common
wealth and it's destiny was obscured
by lesser traits which they measured
by their own inferiority and colored
with their own eailiEgs. His faults,
which should have been regarded as a
foil for his brilliant genius, they re-
garded as dominating traits, because
weaker will
This is one reason for the fact that
Brigham Young was surrounded and
supported in his work by men of great
ability; and this in spite of the enmity
shown by others of his acquaintance.
We can scarcely think of him without
remembering Heber c. Kimball, Will
lard Richards, the two Pratts, George
A. Smith, Erastus Snow, Lorenzo Snow,
John Taylor, MILFORD Woodruff, and
others of similar ability and adaptable
ity to the work of pioneering. They
were not only able men in the work at
hand; but they understood and appre-
ciated their great compatriot, Brigham
Young, and regarded his work from the
same standpoint as he himself.
AS for the problems Brigham Young
had to solve, they were numerous and
varied, and of supreme Importance. 1t
is not often in the history of the world
that one man has been confronted with
so many. And there are few men who
have had so good grasp of their prob
lens, or have solved them so promptly
and so well. This is as high a tribute
of praise as can be bestowed on any
man.
Perhaps the largest and most impor-
tant single problem that confronted
Brigham Young and his associates was
the problem of self-sustenance. 1t is
the element of their early life here
which interests me most, because it is
the question lying at the root of the
prosperity of the state, not only past,
but future.
Industrial independence.
Industrial independence is one of the
strongest assurances of the stability
and permanence of a state. 1t was al
ways the aim of Brigham Young to
make the people self-sustaining. And
work in this direction was not only
made necessary by their long distance
from outside help, but 1t was prompted
by the worthy purpose of making the
coming state a producer above it's ca
pacity as a consumer. This may be

said to sum up the wish of Brigham
Young in this respect
1t is still the wish of Utahs best cit
liens. If the early settlers founded
manufactures and promoted internal
industry, 1T iss as much the duty of
present and future citizens to build on
the foundation they established. If that
is the policy that has made the nation
great and powerful, it will do the same
for the state. I am sure / voice the
earnest desire of every citizen of Utah,
when / say that it is our worthy aim
to see that our state continues to be in
loyalty to the Union and In internal
prosperity and independence, the peer
of all the other states. This was the
wish of Brigham Young; 1t is still the
desire of Utah's loyal and industrious
people.
Governor Cutters Start.
And in addition to this, my friends, 1
want to say a personal word in respect
to Brigham Young. Brigham Young
made it possible for me to attain the
little financial success that 1 have at
tanned. In the year 1877, the year of
his death, l had little business and lit
tie prospect. One day A. o. Smoot came
to me and asked me IL 1 would take an
agency for the home industry. 1 said
1 most assuredly would. Very well,
come with me to President Young
Office" and We went.
President Young gave me a stock of
goods, a store and unlimited credit.
There is not one man in thousand to-
day-not one in ten thousand-who
would do that I have truth to say that
Brigham Young's trust was not mis-
placed.
