 William Beach was born November 20, 1913, near Trumbul Conn, being a son of Ephriam Wells Beach and Dorothy Curtis. He came south at an early age and went to Madison, Ga. He came to Co., 1umbus in the thirties and spent all the remainder of his life here. with the ex- ception of the past few years He served in the Seminole war in Florida, and dur Ing the civil war was a member of the Home Guard.
 MT. Beach was one of Columbus vet eran merchants, and few men were so thoroughly identified with the city's com mercial life as he had been, although he retired from active business cares num- Der of years ago. His experience as hardware dealer in Columbus covered about half century, and few business men here were so widely known. He had a very extensive acquaintance throughout this section Of the country, in East Ala bama as well as Georgia.
 Some five or six years ago Mr. Beach moved to Etowah near HendersonVilie, IN. C., a charming mountain retreat ana in that delightful country passed the evening of his life quietly and serenely. He visited his old home at regular inter- vals, and enjoyed to the utmost his re- union with old friends. MT. Beach still considered himself a citizen of Columbus. and his absence as only temporary, TOT he registered last year, writing the name William Beach" on the registry book in a firm hand.
 MT. Beach wrote remarkable firm,

 MT. Beach was a great lover of music and in his younger days played a great deal on the violin. When a young man he was especially fond of violin music. and played exceptionally well. Mr. Beach was lover of poetry and committed great deal of it to memory. He was person of literary tastes and had real appreciation of true poetry
 He was so modest and unobtrusve that his real worth was only thoroughly ap- precated by those who knew him most intimately He was a business man of the best type with old-fashoned ideals of business honor and integrity, and was thoroughly respected and esteemed for his probity of character and his high toned business methods.
 The following children survive him: MT. c. Edward Beach of Aragon. Ga.: Mrs. D. P. Dozier of New Orleans, Mrs. A. Chenoweth of Birmingham. Mrs. Charles Mallette of Etowah, N. C.; Mrs. Lyra Mallette of New York and Mrs. Clara Huff and MT W. B. Beach of Co., lumbus.

 and thinking of the many more I might mention, time has not stayed, so l must hasten on.
 In this talk in which I have en- a deavored to set forth to you the need of a high purpose in life, l have only put before you one of the many ave- nues which are open to the earnest Wom- en today--that of philanthropyAE but this is so far reaching, so permeating, so many-sided, that it touches every thing in life that is worth while, for a wave of altruism is sweeping over the world and in it's swirling eddies the very depths are giving up material which has long been hidden below the surface, but which when separated from the dross will prove pure gold for life's treasury.
 It seems to me but fitting that in recounting the deeds of philanthropic women, that we should look around us and see what the good women Of our own city have done along altru- istic lines. Their work has kept neck and neck" with that of the strong and wise men who have built up this won derful municipality. While the men lave made a great and wealthy city the women have organized and put into motion the work of the United Chari- ties, the Mercy Home, the Boys h. duStrial school, the free Kindergarten the Young Women's Christian associa- ton, the Boys club with its chapters, the District Nurses auxiliary, the Wom- ems Christian Temperance union, the Red Cross associatoin and others; the details of the work of any one of which would take an entire evening" And well may we say, All honor to tho women of Birminghami
 Before closing let me call your at tention to the fact that one of the most potent causes of human misery is ignorance and therefore one of your crowning works should be an effort to remove this plague spot from the world. and this brings me to a plea which l wish to make to you this evenings plea for higher education. Wonderful and glorious privileges are offered you along this line, young ladies, so great are they that we are struck wieh amazement that these privileges should be chosen by only the few, while the many turn aside to the fiowery paths of feeting pleasures. The higher educa tion fits women for every vocation of life, for home making, for philan- thropic work, for deeper study, for so- ciety, for business for brilliant lead CTS, or intelligent followers Indeed believe me, the school room and the college hall are the workshops which turn out the perfect woman and tn Q Intelligent young women, with taste for study, who having the opportunity for the higher education fails to grasp it, does herself and her generation a lasting injury.

THE PASSING OF A
 VENERABLE CITIZEN.

The death of MT. William Beach at the age of 95 has removed not only vener- able citizen of the south, but one great ly honored and beloved. In calculating mans allotted time, we can reason that strength to both mind and body cannot endure forever But when the last strug- gle comes to those whom we love and respect it goes to our own soul causing deepest emotions Much has been writ ten of the life of this venerable citizen. The southern press and his personal friends in many sections are paying trib- ute to the departed.
 Mr. Beach passed peacefully away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles Mallet, at Etowah, N. c. The remains were accompanied to Hendersonville by his sons, daughters and grandchildren. The casket was covered with flowers. Be- sides the many floral tributes there was a large and beautiful wreath of mountain laurel tied with a large bow of tulle that had been a part of the wedding veil of one of his daughters. The casket was borne through paths of laurel to Hender-

sURsIDeE's GOOD CHANCE.
People of Ali Parties Would Like to
See Him Sheriff.

Never in the political history of Salt
Lake county has any candidate for a
county office received as enthusiastic a
reception as greeted Captain John B. Bur-
bidge, Democratic candidate for sheriff
during his tour through the county yes
terday. No attempt made to hold
regular meetings as Captain Burbidge
was unable to leave the automobile in
which he made his trip on account of his
recent accident. but everywhere the
friends which he has made by his twenty
years of faithful and honest service as a
peace officer of Salt Lake crowded
around him and assured him of their
support. These friends were not by any
means confined to members of the Demo-
crauc party Men and women wearing
American and Republican badges
crowded about to tell Captain Burbidge
they realized that he was the best man
FOR the position and that they would not
only support him with their votes, but by
their influence with others. The county
is solid for Captain Burbidge. Both the
candidates for sheriff on the American
and Republican tickets have made tours
through the county and have made at
tempts to draw votes away from Bur-
bidge by stating that he had no chance
of being elected and that a vote for him
was vote thrown away. The votes alb
solutely pledged to him in the county yes
terday show that he has the biggest kind
of chance to be elected and if his
friends in the city who know him 10 be
the best fitted man for the office remain
dS SleduIdSL TO MIN as nave MS friends
, in the county he Will be triumphantly
elected.
The Republican machine has made des-
perate efforts to secure pledges for Sharp
from the Mormon Democrats stating
that if they voted for Burbidge they were
throwing their votes away and were aid
ing to elect CharOn. but their efforts
have been in vain. No one who witnessed
the way in which Captain. Burbidge was
greeted by his friends yesterday will be-
lieve that any such political trickery can
be successful in his case.
The work of the Democratic speakers
throughout the county is more apparent
every day. A prominent Republican of
Murray admitted yesterday that the
speech made by Judge w. II. King at
Murray Tuesday night had created more
enthusiasm and more comment and effect
than any speech ever made in Murray.

who preached last Sunday at the Draper
meeting house on the necessity of all

This man, after talking with Captain
Burbidge- asked for a big lot of his cards
and campaign literature and promised not
only that he would vote for him. but that
he would do all in his power to urge 9TH
ers to do so.
A big Democratic rally has been ar
ranged for Saturday night at Sandy. at
which Captain Burbidge will be present
and which will be addressed by several
noted Democratic speakers.

final tour of Willard county. He will
speak at Kanosh, Meadow. Fillmore,
Holden and Scipio and will then return

his energies to other than his own county,
believing that his friends and neighbors
there know him sufficiently well to en-
able him TO depend absolutely on their
support On his way up from Helper yes
terday Mr.. Nixon encountered one of the
Republican precinct chairmen of Murray,
who stated TO him that unless William
Spry could satisfactorily explain the
charge of attempting TO influence the dis
trict court made by The Herald, and alb
solutely prove the falsity of the charge.

Spanish Fork, Oct. 26.-The largest audi
ence since the old days in politics was
held last night at the city pavilion. For
two hours B. H. Roberts held Spellbound
600 of Spanish Forks people.
Taking up the issues in general, the
champion defended them so profoundly
that some Republicans hurriedly and ner-
vously left the building. With the great
est earnestness Mr.. Roberts declared that
the local condition of politics in Utah was
a dangerous one; that the organization
of the clique. or the federal bunch, or
the coterie composed of six men would
stink. no matter by what term called. He
said it was a menace to the public and
q dangerous organization to the peace and
freedom of Utah.
The rally was the success of the season.
the attendance being fully three times
that of the one held by Senator Smoot
here.
Mr.. Roberts is recognized in Spanish
Fork as elsewhere, as the champion of
the Mormon people. the bulwark against
the onslaught of the outside world There
fore the speech had great influence here.
and most people are ready to take him
upon his word when he brands as a lie
the charge that the Democrats are
merged with the Americans" agreeing
with him that the heritage of the Re
publican party is the American" party,
and the way to bring about a dissolution
of that party is to elect the Democratic
