Just after William Mckinley, whose
birthdate this is. had got through his
second campaign for governor of ohio'
I had the pleasure of meeting him In
the privacy Of the directors room or
ono of the New York banks, n place
where he felt perfectly free to relax
himself, He had been through a most
trying speech making ordeal. yet was
astonished to note that his voice re-
tained all OF that wonderful mclodic
and clear onunciating quality which al
WAYS distinguished II, asked him how
he had managed 1t.

cschcw tobacco II he wants to pre-
serve his voice. Yet I have always
found that tobacco acted like Il seda-
tive with my voice; it Soothes my
vocal cords. But, speaking seriously.
I'll tell you about my voice.
You must know that throughout the
west one of the chief qualifications for
anyone who seeks to come forward as
a candidate for public Office Is the abll-
ity to make a good speech, and cs-
pecially a good speech IN the open air.
/ bellcve that In these days open air
political addresses are much less COM

But In the west they are vital to any

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

Dr. Edward NJ. Frank. rector of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Advent in Philadelphia. believes in one
of the great principles OF Mormon
ism" Or. at least, he practices IL,
when he tries to make religion prac-
tical and apply to everyday life.
According to Hampton's Magazine,
the Rector soon found out that the
Immediate need OF the people near his
church was temporal Just as much as
spiritual, and SO he opened a cooper
alive store. In which groceries. coal.
and articles of clothing were sold at
practically cost prices. Membership In
the cooperative venture means fee of
only twenty-five cents. and today mora
than two hundred dollars worth OF
groceries Is delivered each week 10
members. This was In 1905.
In 1909. DR.. Frank announced from
the pulpit his intention Of opening In
the basement OF the church, a lunch
room. where the girls working in near
by factories could buy n comfortable
MONDAY meal for Ave cents Tho first
noon three girls. wearing rather scared
expressions. knocked at the basement
door. The food offered them was good.

A PIONEER LAID TO REST.

Bishop Jos. 8. Tanner, whose Garth

settlers OF Utah. He was one OF the

people during the early days OF pcrse-
cution
Those who now enjoy all the lux

by the Pioneers. can hardly comprc-
hend the hardships and privations OF
the first standard bearers OF civilization
to this region. Bishop Tanner. at tho
age Of fifteen. without shoes on his
feet, walked all the way from the Mis-
souri, river to Salt Lake. and drove n
team of six yoke OF COWS. He helped

march until they reached the valleys OF

We owe much to the Pioneers who

DAMAGE By FLOODS.

1t Is not easy. from this distance. to
Judge about the extent Of the calamity
that has befallen the beautiful city by
the Seine. but the dispatches indicate
a devastation worse than that which
overlook 1t in 1871. when in the hands
of a victorious enemy. Many OF the
places familiar to tourists are under
water Fancy the square in front OF
Comedie franchise flooded. and horses,
carts and men swallowed up IN chasms
in Champs Elysees Fancy communi-
cation cut of between the different
parts of the city. because Of the un-
safety of the bridges. and alarm felt for
the Eiffel tower.
And this is not because OF any neg
lect on the part OF the Parisinns to
prevent damage by flood. The entire
banks OF the river are protected by en-
bankments. or auays. Ordinarily one
has to descend many steps In order to
reach the water level. but at present
the river channel, though over five
hundred feet wide at some places. Is
too small for the volume Of water
cours.ng through 1t, Ever since the
DAYS of Napoleon the Great. the French
have been engaged in the work Of for
tifying their capital against encroach-
ments by the river. and hero they are
at the mercy OF the raging torrents.
We doubt not that many OF the
French people will see in this vista
ton the hand OF God falling heavily
upon the seat OF the government for
its war upon the church. To many OF
them It will be a Sign of divine dis.
pleasure and en- admonition to oppose
the anti-church policy, To all the world
1t is a reminder of the infinite weak
ness of man IN the warfare against
forces Of nature. 1t is reminder that
the proudcst cities that were over
built by man, with all their works of
art, are frail as ant hills that a child
can destroy in n moment.
The peculiarities OF the present win
ter are such as to give reasonable fear
for floods in other cities situated along
river courses II we should get an early
spring with warm weather, our own
Jordan and tributaries would almost
certainly overflow and cause damage
to farms along the banks and to proper
ty in the lower parts OF the City. We
hope the counoilmon will not haggle too
long over ways and means. but go to
work and do something to insure. as
far as possible. the safety OF the prop
crty of the people who are expected to
pay the taxes. There is no time to
lose. In the old days all necessary
work was done by the people prompt
ly and effectively.

ASKING FOR STREETS.

The managers of Saltair are asking
the city for franchise to run their
trains up to the corner OF Main ana
South Temple streets. II the council
has the interests Of thc taxpayers at
heart. at NIL. 1t will refuse to grant
the request, no matter what may be
urged in favor of 1t and no matter
what inducements may be offered.
The transfer OF the Saltair depot TO
Main street would mean congestion
OF the traffic there. which would ma
terially interfere with business oil over
Cars are now running there every three
minutes, in both directions. and the
addition of the Saltair trains would
mean a derangement OF the street car
schedules that would be felt In every
part OF the City. The running OF trains
along the main streets of the CITY
would also mean, practically. the con-
flscation OF property along the lines
People would have to sell their homes
for whatever they could get. and move
out. For these. and many other SUI
ficient reasons the request VIII not DC
granted, II tho council has even the
remotest regard for the people whose
servants and representatives they arc
supposed to be.
There is no good reason why the
present depot should be moved. But
II that were desirable. 1t should Ger
teLnly not be moved to Main street. The
City cannot afford to give away IS
main thoroughfares.
