numerous schools and colleges.
And today we give due thanks
to our Pioneers for this vast
inheritance of material things,
but our hearts are filed with a
far deeper feeling of gratitude
for the great spiritual heritage
they have given us;--for the
heritage of a religion underlying
which is a code of ethics that
gives anchor and purpose to the
lines of our young men and
women in this day of social up
hev al, restlessness, change and
unbelief; for a fundamental be-
lief in the sanctity. purity and
sacredness of home and family
life, An ideal which will yet
gain for the people of Utah a
place of recognition among all
the nations of the earth. And
lastly, we thank our Pioneers for
having taught US the great lesson
of the dignity. the majesty of
work. That work is worship;
that labor is a duty no less than
prayer; that each man should
find his life's work. do il with
all his soul. and out of it will
come his salvation. For this
great spiritual heritage We, to-
day, give boundless thanks.
And to our Pioneers, beth to
those who are with us. as well
as to those who have gene on

nifty, we accord great measure of
praise.

charity.
Their faith that truth shall make
men free,
That right shall live eternally."
We honor them for the integ-
rity, the depth, the rigOr, the
sincerity of their characters.
We glory in the majesty of their
achievement. We marvel at
their heroism. We revere them
as a people inspired of God.

It seems ages since the last polltl-

in this part of the country. Per

There are scores Of Democrats i

utterly impossible to ''whoop-er-up'
properly without a torcflight pro

A campaign without at least on
