pented of this later, for, when his
people exercised that function, they
were called upon to pay taxes, from
which they had been previously ex-

continued for years and wiped out
the holdings of the chief. who was the
banker for his people.

enty-six years old, and was born in

Gil of each city, the board of trustee
of each town, and the board of county
commissioners of each county in the
state of Utah have the power to re-
fuse to grant any or all applications
made to them to sell liquor, that their
power is absolute, and that no court

the liquor traffic the voters can do
so under the present laws by electing
a board of county commissioners, a
board of town trustees or a city coun-
Gil, respectively, that will carry out
their wishes.

The Stimulus Of Rebuffs.


Hard conditions, desperate circum-
stances, great poverty and hardships
have ever developed the giants of the
race. The resources, the powerful re-
serves lie too deep in many people to
be aroused, awakened by any ordinary
conditions or circumstances. These
people are like the great Maxim1te
shells that can be thrown about with
impunity, that children may play with,
but which require the terrific impact
caused by being fired through the steel
armor of a warship to explode them.
1t takes a great crisis, tremendous
emergency to explode the giant pow
er in many people.
Some natures never come to them
selves, never discover their real
strength until they meet with opposi-
ton or failure. Their reserve of pow
er lies so deep within them that any
ordinary stimulus does not arouse It.
But when they are ridiculed, sat
down upon" or when they are abused,
insulted, a new force seems to be born
In them, and they do things which be-
fore would have seemed impossible.
