my opinion, Utah was never more
ably represented in the Congress of the
United States than she is right today
said Joseph Kimball this morning. Mr..
kimbali has Just returned from a six
weeks trip to Washington and New
York, where he went on business and
pleasure combined. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Kimball, and together
they visited all the points of interest
in the east, from Washington to Mia
CARA Falls. They remained for a week
or more at the national capital, and
Mr.. kimbal was escorted through thu
departments and met President Taft.
Speaker Cannon and Secretary Ballin-
ger and Assistant Secretary Frank
Pierce of the interior department, and
many others
Mr. Pierce Is the right man in the
right place., said Mr.. Kimbal. He
is recognized among the best men at
the capital as a capable official and
has the respect and confidence Of all,
In fact, L never met y finer set of men,
from the president down. They do
not seem to act as though they owned
the government, but that they are the
servants Of the people and are there 10
carry on the government for the peo-
pie. 5
President Taft Is a big man In every
way, Hesis greatly Interested In vest
.ern affairs, and IL possible will attend
the Grand Army encarnpment at Salt
Lake this summer.
Speaker. Cannon is the best car
TONED man In the United states. He
looks just like his pictures, but when
you come to know the man, You recog-5

SENATOR lsNIooT ADMIRED,
II wish to say that Senator Smoot is
admired by every man Of any breadth
and depth in the senate of the United
States, He has become one of the lead
ers In the senate by his ability and de-
votion to his duty, and he is q really
capable man. who Is not afraid to stand
up for his convictions In the face of OPP
position. Senator Sutherland Is also a.
power in the senate, as is Representa-
tive Howell in the house. l am proud
OF tTtahss delegation in the national
Congress, even though their political
affiliations are different from my own,
Partisanship should not be SO narrow
but that merit should be recognized
wherever met.
:.iOna, OF the most delightful expert
ences of our trip was the visit we paid
to the birthplaco of my mother, Presen-
dia Lslthrop Huntington, at the old
town of Watertown, New York. The.
old homestead still remains the sa,ue.i
while many Of the Huntington family
are living at and near the old place.
The old place is situated within
10 miles of Sackett's harbor, and by
grandfather was stationed at tho har-.
Dor at the time of the attack By the
British. My mother often told me Of
her remembrance of the bombard-
ment. MY grandfather was one Of
those who assisted in laying the great
cable across the Hudson river, to keep
the British ships out of New York
harbor during the revolution. A piece
Z of that cable is nowl8on exhibition in
New York City.
During my stay in New York I
met most of the Mormon colony5t there,
and they are all well and prospecting.
L also met some, Of the finest business
men In the country and i was deeply
impressed by the methods of doing
business adopted in the financial CEN
ter of the continent. There was !.
marked difference in the atmosphere
& of Washington, where a man is Judged
by his political influence, and in that
sof New York. where he Is Judged by
his financial standing. We enjoyed the 4
trip very much" concluded Mr.. KIM A
ball, hut we are very glad to be at
homo again.
