a plain citizen with a liking for
cleanliness. He requested the jani-

was done, but the results we're still

gentleman order the window washed
the third time?
Not on your spring zits!
Ben and the secretary talked it
over, and each suggested to the 9TH
er that the jaHitors were from Mis-
souri,.
Then Ben told the janitors that
the secretary would meet them at
that certain window at a stated time,
and he told the secretary to go down
and show them how to clean a win
dow.
That is why the esthetic visitors
from the far East, if there had hap
pened to be any, and have seen the
Hon. Secretary of State of the great
commonwealth of Oregon, with his
official coat off, applying the state
soap to thee states windows with an
Official rag and vigorously trying,
Ike a Democrat to rub it in" with
all the muscular force of the most
powerful nan in the state in state af-
fairs, barring "Os." He washed the
window, and he washed it well.
When he got through that window
shone like a good deed properly ad-
vertised or a Carnegie library gift, or
a Democratic promise kept, or what
you please If you are an adept at

Ben didn't chew the rag, he used
it, and used 1t we'll. That is why
the horse editor suggests the use of
his picture in this connection, as that

San Francisco Lesson.

was in San Francisco the other
day I was there also two DAYS be-
fore the unfortunate earthquake.
when the hand of Providence de
stroyed one uf the most beautiful
cities in the world. In the short
space OF five wears a new and great
er city grew mp from the ruins. And
as stood on the steps of the Fair
mont hotel and gazed over Mob Hill
and The ruins Of the beautiful city.
IL occurred TO me that thirty years
ago when ! was but a boy on my
first visit to the coast, you could
stand on that same spot and gaze
on the mansions and homes and
wealth Of thirty milllonalres. whose
entire fortunes have now gone back
10 the people, with one or two eN-
ccptions There was Fair, with his
forty millions; Flood, with his many
millions; O'Brien, with his millions;
Hopkins. Stanford, Sharon. Stewart.
Jones, Donohuc, Ralston. Hunting
ton and many others. With one or
two exceptions, VIC don't find those
great fortunes now intact.
Every good citizen should realize
that we Americans are not born 10
ANYTHING but VIC get there Just the
same we are not burdcued with the
law of entail like some of the Euro
pean countries. by which fortunes are
kept intact through Inheritance by
the oldest surviving heir. In this
great country of ours il Is only three
generations from shirt sleeves to
shirt sleeves. II is the law OF SELF
interest that will govern and control.
Tho children and the chlldren,s chill
drcn of the working man Of tho pres
ent generation Will be the capitalists
and statesmen Of the next genera
ton.
So, we should be conservative, get
down to business regardless of party
politics. and utilize AS far as we can
our great resources. Help the weak.
extend equal Justice 10 all and special
favors TO none. Try 10 place II with
in thc power OF every citizen 10

more manual training In our educa-
tionaI institutions,
Labor and capital and good citizen
shin should go hand in hand. with

Beauty of Statistics.

Statistics constitute the very soul
OF true oratory. There is something
captivating in the observance of a
long line OF figures bearing aIoft
well-roundcd sentence. and II
chose so 10 do. I could use more fig
ures in talk about Utah than an
"insurgont' cnn sprinkle through
\ speech upon the tariff. Figures are
a fine thing In a speech. They cling
TO the Intellect of the person COM
PEELED 10 listen like costly velvet 10
the limbs OF beauty. Then again,
there is something so ponderous. dry
and unlntcrestinC in speech stiY
with figures. hat the speaker gains
great reputation for learning, and
there are more able bodied statistics
going about here declaring the great
ness OF Utah than can be found in
any other section of the union
These statistics tell all who will
listen that Utah Ia forging ahead by
leaps and bounds, They express
tersely the prosperity with which we
have been uniformly blessed. They
wave "A wand OF welcome to men and
women who are willing 10 work and
making their homes among US, help
TO develop our marvellous resources
and thus feap the reward that hon
est industry uniformly receives.
