@F CANDY delicious the princess made ' The colors she of ev'ry known shade O And pretty she was, ever could doubt
 Who saw her enthroned with her courtiers about. The princess gentle and mild a dove; Toward subjects showed nothing but kindness and loves All people adored her and called her a queen, The like of which Toyland had never yet The night that speak of she felt very sad, For one can't feel dull and the same time be glad Said she: "To ball must hasten today, And there midst the fairies dance sadness away" So long danced the princess at Fairyland's ball She had not reached home the rain gan to fall. The sun rose in glorious splendor at dawn On puddle of candy-the princess gone.

Wednesday evening. Tie fight was one
If III" fastest ever seen in this Vcin-
ity and was witnessed by a large crowd.
After the eighth round COffey had only
a remote chance Of winning. Fitzgerald
jabbed the Br0Oklynite into a state Of
bcWildcrment. but was never able 10
put over the punch that would end the
fight with Knockout
COffey gave the greatest exhibition
of gamencSS that was ever seen here

After the eighth round when FitZ-
gerald had secured what seemed like
safe lead, he contented himself with
JabbinS Coffcy To pieces and keeping

An Ode to Utah

Utah, Utah, sing 1t in story;
Utah. Utah, shout 1T in glory;
Let Freedoms banner forever wave
Ger the land of the free and the homo
OF the brave.
Utah, Utah. is the glad name;
Utah, Utah, sing 1t again.
Let the banner OF freedom ne'cr trail in
the dust.
This is the land of the free and the
just.
The glory OF Utah lives In the name
The hills and wales and desert plain
And the fiowery emblem OF pearly white
Cleans like gold In the MONDAY light
It's golden petals wave In the sun,
From early morn TIL day Is done;
IT'S the Sego Lily OF Utah State,
And from southern boundary TO Great
Salt Lake.
The desert blossoms Ike the rose,
goes.
The mountain Businesses disappear
AS II by magic TO bring good cheer.
To the weary toier from the city's mart.
Who seeks not in vain for Natures
heart:
And. like a tired child longing for rest.
He finds 1t at last on Mother Earth's
breast.
Sing it again, oh, sing 1t again;
Utah. Utah, is the glad name:
Utah. Utah. sing IL in story:

church Republican party understand
full we'll what the sort of canvass re-
ferred to would mean. There would be
no straightforward, unbiased query put
to any member or official of the church.
They know perfectly we'll that 1t would
be put in the form of n request for
bishop so and so or president OF stake
so and so, to say what he thought OF
the propriety Of returning Apostle
Smoot to the Senate, the authorities OF
his quorum and the first presidency be-
ing inclined favorably thereto. That
might not perhaps be the exact word
ing Of the message as transmitted TO the
lower officials and the brethren through
out the State, but the message desiring
the opinion would be couchcd in such
terms as to leave no doubt IN the mind
of the recipient that the twelve and the
first presidency desired Shoots re-elec-
ton. With that as the opinion OF the
higher authorities, 1T would be natural
for the lower ecclesiasts and the
brethren, whose opinion might be asked,
TO coincide with the lead furnished.
Under such circumstances there could
he no doubt whatever of the result OF
the s.scalled canvass; there would be
substantial unanimity of expression In
favor of returning Brother Smoot, al
though the real opinion Of the persons
giving TINT expression might be direct
ly the reverse.
Naturally under these circumstances,
the Gentle church Republicans are rest.
I've and uneasy about what is going on.
They had hoped that this one term
would be the last of Smoot and Smootism
in Utah politics. But the fact is, they are
utterly helpless; there is nothing they
can do or say that will offset the influ-
ence of the powers that be. 1t is not in
the least a question Of what the people
of Utah want, but what arc the wishes
of the church political leaders and what
the high ecclesiasts desire. Everyone
knows that without the least regard of
the views Of the people at large, and
without even thinking for ono moment
about whether the GENTLE Republicans
would like it or not, the matter Is set
tied in secret conclave under the Bee
Hive That is what is worrying the
Gentle Republicans, a good many of
whom think that Smoot and Smootism
should be retired; but as a matter of
fact they have no way to do it; they
will not be consulted but will be e1-
pected to acquiesce and support what
ever is decreed at the source of power,
precisely as they have done heretofore
And when it is known that the eccle
siasts desire to return Smoot there will
be nothing moro for them or for any.
body else to say.
