THE MOFFAT ROAD


The announcement from Denver
last week of the passing OF the Moffat
road into the hands of receiver
comes at first in the nature of q
mild shock. Upon second informa-
ton, however, it would appear as
though the new arrangement holds
promise of greater things. 1t is pos
sible and highly probable that the
holdings of the road may now pass
into the hands of some of the great
eastern roads seeking an outlet to
the west, in which case the one thing
so sorely needed for its early COM
pletion-capital- be forthcoming.
With the passing of the Moffat In
TO other hands the life-work OF its
founder, David II. Moffat, is again
brought prominently before the pub
lie. Here was man. Such man
as truly emphasizes the ideal west
erner. OF indomitable courage and
inflexible purpose he bent his life:
effort and his fortune TO the &C
complishment OF his self-appointeC
task-that of connecting Salt LAX,
City and Denver by a new trunk line
passing through one of the best agri
cultural sections of Colorado ant
through scarcely developed portion
of Utah.
Just what the building OF the roa,
meant; what vast sums of none
were required, and what seemingl
insurmountable obstacles confronte
this master-man from the very be
ginning, is almost bewildering I
the ordinary layman. And yet SLOWLY

respectability attached to his i'm
mortal name which will live forever
The life and the influence Of this
young man shows the potency OF be-
nevolent life in shaping the concep-
tons Of men. There is divinity in
mans heart, which, when developed,
carries with 1t force. a conviction
and power.
In this mans life, there was an ir.
resistable power, an unalterable con.
viction that to him was right. 1t won
for him a respect that should be ev.
erlasting and firm. The worth Of the
man was generally known and appre.
ciated by the masses of the people,
and they honored him for the stand
he had taken. Those who felt the
reverence and respect Of the people
slipping away from them, leaving the
reverence based upon appearance and
position and transferring itself 20
him whose life was an inspiration
adopted means to destroy both him
and his mission. They destroyed his
body. He still lives. They are dead
and forgotten.
The kind Of responsibility that lives
is that which gives, and establishes
reputation and character, and charac.
ter only comes to individuals who
seek through honest effort the respect
and confidence of their fellows.
The savage of the long ago was a
respectable being. only in so far as he
was able to kill wild animals. II he
was brave and fearless, he was the
hero Of the race. His responsibility
was firmly established in the hearts
Of his people. The suggestion of the
life of this brave man was accepted
and acted upon by other young
braves. They had ambition to sur.
pass this respected hero, and as they
advanced along this special line OF
action they gained in respectability
and confidence. mention this to
show that the conception at different
periods Of our world is different in
relation to this principle OF respecta.
bility. The thing that would appeal
to one as the ideal, and worthy of
commentator, would not appeal to
the other in just the same way.
Even now in our civilization we
have not gone very far ahead of the
savage. This because Of the selfish.
ness which characterizes our efforts.
Our motto today is, as 1t was long
ago, ITO the victors belongs the
spoils." We are yet savage in the
nature Of our endeavor to excel in
reputation. Avariciousness and sci.
fishness are the bases upon which
many Of us operate. There are many
of us who live on the reputation of
others, and unfortunately respectable.
ity comes to us through their efforts.
We have tone of kindness minus
the kindness. a thoughtful look with.
out the thought. This kind of respec-
liability is not even as good or as
high as the. responsibility which
comes to the savage. His respecta-
bility is based upon individual effort,
and is in a degree honorable. The
other is dishonorable and degrading.
Our modern society is full of just
