Between the prohibition that breeds

law on one side and criminally con.
Quoted LIQUOR traffic on the other.
David s. Rose. mayor of Milwaukee,
Wis. took his stand for temperance
last night In the ogden tabernacle be-
fore an audience that fllled the build
ing and cheered many of Ids most I'M
portant statements. Mayor Rose spoke
for two hours and in the course of his
speech covered all important phases
OF the question. Right at the begin
ming he said he was not interested In
the LIQUOR traffic and does not use
liquor in any form He opposes prohi'
bition because he favors temperance.
This was the keyno1e TO his address
Mayor Rose was introduced TO the
audience by Mayor 4. l. Brewer OF
Ogden, after H c. Jacobs had deliv'
cred a brief prayer. On the platform
with the speaker, In addition to Mayor
Brewer and Mr.. Jacobs. were Fred j.
Kiesel. G. l.. Becker and |. c. Glosz
OF Salt Lake City The speaker for
the past seventeen years has been the
Democratic mayor of Republican Mil
waukee. He is q lawyer by profession
and is now on an extensive lecturing
tour. He reached the city at 80 this
afternoon. Here he was met By a
committee headed by Fred ]. Kelsel,
taken to the Four State fair and from
there to Ogden canyon. Dinner was
served at the Oaks This morning he
will go to Salt Lake City and speak
there tonight
Compliment for Ogden.
In his opening remarks Mayor Rose
compllmented Ogden as splendid
young city of the west with beautiful
lawns. we'll paved streets. good pub
lie buildings. substantial. up-to-date,
thrifty business district and people
fully abreast OF the times He was i'm
pressed with what he saw at the fair
and in the canyon.
Mayor Rose said 1t WAS the duty OF
every voter TO inform himself on this
question OF temperance, as he must dc.
termine the question for himself He
carries his destiny in his own hand in
his ballot Something is due To the
government from every voter. He must
inform himself in order that he may
vote intelligently. fairly and fearlessly.
The average voter is lazy and the av.
erace business man Is coward They
leave uulltc W plItlc-
Gions are aroused. prejudice rules, and
then men dodge; they refuse to com
NIT themselves.
At this point the speaker told IN apt
story, the point OF which was that
men should swallow sand, as they
need 1t In their systems.
The doctrine and covenants of the
church OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day
Saints furnished the text for tho
speaker. where the use OF barley for
the making of mild drinks is com
mended From this point the speaker
entered into a discussion of the Bible
theory OF drink. He quoted Horatlo
Seymour, governor of New York, as
saying that there was just one demand
for water mentioned In the Bible
This was In the case of Dives. who was
In hades. calling upon Lazarus.
County Not Unit.
Governor William Spry was com.
mended for his veto of the county op-
tion law enacted by the last legisla.
ture He seid the veto was right from
a legal standpoint. The county is not
unit In government. but confedera
tion OF units. The unit is the small
est political division and in Utah that
is the township. the village or the
city Ogden is a political subdivision
and under home rule regulates heI
own affairs. II would be wrong for the
townships in the county outside OF Og
den TO tell the city how she should
regulate her own AFFAIRS. Home rule
must be upheld.

Only one of them kept the faith. Tha
