to the Christian churches to right the

There are multltudes in the coun-

who never have missed delicacy, yet
they become angry when another
class of the population makes an eff
fort to ameliorate its condition.
Let them cease reviling and con-

poor workers live. II they do so, they
will realize their responsibility and
remove the causes for unrest lest

The following takdn from the Des.

CITY council Of Logan:
Chief Glore is considering the pro.

the establishment OF huge whistle
or bell to give general alarm in the
event Of big fire, which would notify
the citizens to shut off sprinkling or
other use of water until the fire is out.
There should be an ordinance provid.
ing for this" said Chief Glore, and |
am going to look into the matter. The
ordinance should be so drawn that in
the event Of a big fire any person
caught sprinkling or using a great
quantity of water after the alarm has
been sounded would be fined | think
suitable arrangements could be made
with some of the power plants for a
huge whistle for this purpose"
II seems to us that Logan Is situa-
ted somewhat similar but probably a
little farther behind the times in so
far as a general fire alarm is con.
cerned. 1t may be said, and that with
truth, that very few people can hear
the alarm bell which is at present in |

SIGNS ANNUAL
 THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

Chicago, October 30.-President Taft to- day issued his annual Thanksgiving proc lamation, calling upon citizens of the UniteI States to celebrate Thursday, the s0th of November next, as day of thanksgiving and prayer. The proclama- tion reads as follows
 "The people of this land having by .ong sanction and practice set apart toward the close of each passing year day on which to cease from their labors and as se.nble for the purpose of giving praise to Him who Is the author of the blessings they have enjoyed, it is my duty as chief executive to designate at this time the day for the fulfilment of this devout pur- pose.
 "Our country has been signally favored in many ways. The round of the seasons has brought rich harvest. Our industries have thriven far beyond our domestic needs, the production of our labor are daily finding enlarged market abroad. We have been free from the curses of pesti- lence, of famine and of war. Our na- tional councils have furthered the cause of peace in other lands and the spirit of benevolence has brought us into closer touch with other peoples to the strength enfng of the bonds of fellowship and good

Chicago, October 30-President Taft surprised large audience at the dinner of the Hamilton club today by what most of his hearers construed as an admission of the possibility of republican defeat In the coming national election. He was speaking to an unusually enthusiastic audience of republicans.
 Those present hastened to ascribe the Presidents utterances to weariness after long tour of speech making, and es- pecially after the three days hard cam paigning in this city. It was his last public utterance in Chicago before leav- ing for Pittsburg tonight.
 Now we are, as some people think, at the crisis In the republican party with reference to it's continuance in the guid- anee of the snation," the President said, but I am hopeful the good people of the country, who know a good thing when they see 1t, have only chastened us in an off year, in order that we may do bet ter hereafter but with no intention of shifting from shoulders that are fitted to bear the burdens of the present problems and carry them to successful culmina- tion, to those which. are untried and which have new theories of action that we do not believe in, and that we do not believe the people believe in.'

MEMORY OF CARRIE: NATION IGNORED To Perpetuate Work of Miss
 Willard NO HAREM, NO HOBBLE Sixteen Memorial Subscriptions Are Added-Want Statue of Peace at the Mouth of the Panama
 Canal-$5O,OOO Saved
NO HAREM, NO HOBBLE

Milwaukee October 30-Every woman attending the National Woman's Chris tian Temperance union convention today bowed her head when the name of Carrie Nation was read at the memorial serv ice.
 Sixteen memorial subscriptions of $25 each were added to the organization fund to perpetuate the work of Miss Frances E. Willard.
 Papers on medical, temperance and kin dred subjects followed in rapid success sion in a symposum on How My De- partment Promotes Prohibition. No harem, no hobbe, nor high heels" announced Dr. Louise c. Burlington of Boston, superintendent of health and heredity department, in laying down laws for women. By insisting upon a good oirthright and environment, clean homes and clean bodies exercise in the open, by hygenic dress, by self control, by our lit- erature, and all our sane and healthy en- deavor, we are trying to do our part in the temperance work" she said.
 We insist that as much care be given to the breeding and welfare of children as is given to improving stock in horses and hens.''
 Mrs Martha w. Allen of New York; world superintendent of the department of medical temperance, said that her de- partment was trying to kill the root of the intemperance evil
 ITO us has been assigned the herculean task to destroy the main root, which Is the popular belief in alcoholic liquors as nursing, strengthening and stimulating in times of illness"
 In support of her contention that this is fallacy she quoted Dr. Harvey w.. Wiley, chief of the government bureau of chemistry.
 "To win such man as pr. Wiley to our cause is equal to winning a state for prohibition" she said.
 Miss Clara Wheeler of Michigan, in speaking for the kindergarten department,
 made a plea for the training of mothers for motherhood.
 Through the labor of the superinten- dents of the department of relation of school savings banks to prohibition, Mrs. S. l.. Oberholtser of Pennsylvania said
 by boys and girls in the public schools of Il states which took up the system.
 The convention memoriaized Congress
 to erect a statue of peace at the en- trance of the Panama canal. Tonights programme consisted of a
 number of addresses. Among them was Mrs. Ellen E. Peterson of Texarkana, national superintendent of work among negroes, who reported that through her department more than 10000 persons had been pledged to support prohibition during the past year.
 Mrs Minnie Y. Rutherford of Arkansas reported improved conditions in connec- ton with the work embracing juvenile
 courts, industrial education and anti child labor.

will that link us to the comrades in the universal brotherhood of nations.
 Strong in the sense of our own right and inspired by as strong sense of the rights of others, we live in peace and har- mony with the world Rich in the price less possession and abundant resources, wherewith the unstinted bounty of God nas endowed us, we are unselfishly glad when other peoples pass onward to pros perity and peace. That the great privi- lege we enjoy may continue and that each coming year may see our country more firmly established in the regard and es- teem of our fellow nations, 1t is the prayer that should arise in every thankful heart.
 "Wherefore, l, William Howard Taft, President of the United States of Ameri- ca, designate Thursday, the S0th day of November next, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, and I earnestly call upon my oountrymen and upon all that devil under the flag of our beloved country to meet in their accustomed places of worship to join in offering praise to Almighty God and render devout thanks for the loving mereies he has given to us.

Taft Admits Possibility
 That He May Be Defeated

"If so be it that they desire to make a change, however" he continued, I've shall Loyalty support the new government under any conditions with the hope 1t will inure to the benefit of the country, but with the consolation that if after one trial the people think they ought to go back to the old party, that has served them so well in the progressive times of the nation, they will do so- We can bear that, my friends That is all"
 After his address the President re- tired to his hotel for rest. Though he professed no ennui the three days speech making strain has told on him and it was a tired man swho led the presidential party out of the city at 5:30 o'clock over the Pennsylvania for Pittsburg.
 The address before the Hamilton club in which the possibility of defeat found expression followed the laying of the cor nerstone of the new home of the Hamil- ton club, one of the leading republican clubs of the middle west.
 A surging crowd in the street strove so energetically for a glimpse of the Presi- dent that he was unable to speak for a few minutes preceding the actual laying of the stone. The cornerstone ceremony followed a trip through the stock yards and a visit to the national dairy show. The remainder of the Presidents time was spent at his hotel in receiving poll ticians and friends.
