THE LLNFORD SIGNATYON

The resignation of President James II. Linford
OF the Brigham Young College will not come as
a surprise to many, from the fact that it has been
heretofore announced, and was expected. Its ac
ceptance perhaps will cause more of surprise
from the fact that 1t was known that some Of the
members Of the board OF trustees were very much
averse to Mr. Linford leaving the institution. AS
we informed member put 1t you will
search long while before you will find man that
will be as faithful as President Linford has BEEN"
to which desire to add You will search long
time before you will find man that will accom-
plish more under the same conditions and circum
stances"
James II. Linford has been at the Brigham
Young College nearly a quarter Of century. dur
ing which time he has served In the capacity OF
instructor, professor and president. He has seen
the College under It's varying phases Of growth and
prosperity. and throughout 1t all has maintained
a strictly honest, careful. conservative course. He
has seen the school down In the dumps, he has
likewise 1t on the high pinnacle Of It's fame
where the proud crimson banner floats free in the
air. and when there was 10y in each soul that
there" In victory or in defeat, in poverty or
in prosperity he has given the school the best
there was in him. he has given it his life and what
ever OF good has accomplished during the past
fifteen years is due more less to his untring
energy and fathfuness.
or course, like the rest OF us. he did not suit
some of us, and that account some of us have
been working over time in order that he might be
removed and put in his place who would
suit some of us. And right here is the trouble OF
the whole matter. We have said before, and We
reerate il now, that things were not as they
should be at the Brigham Coung College and we
recall saying that If ladies' and gentlemen could
conform to the order OF things 1t high time
some designations were forthcoming. To speak
right out in meetin it is alleged that too many
people have worked with President James II. Lin
ford and have rendered him very little support.
Had they have put onehalf the time to supporting
him and working to build up the school under his
leadership that it is alleged they put to working
against him, it would doubt have been better
for all concerned.
But this is perhaps beside the question now.
The thing is done, and the future Is before u.s. But
right here and now want to drop word in
favor of this good man. We have known him dur
ing the greater part of his life, and never have
We known him to do consent to the doing OF
a single thing that not right and just. He Is
a worker, just, capable, honorable true man. de-
sirous of doing good to his fellows. He was and
is, one OF the best men 1t has ever been our plea
sure to know and we wish him success In all his
future undertakings The verdict has been rendered
the future is before us, and await the announce
ment of his successor

THE GREAT u. A. &.

Recent events have been very fortunate for
the L. \. c. Developments during the past few
years have been greatly in its favor. The recent
Farmers Roundup and Housekeepers Conference,
bringing to the school representative men and wo-
men from Canada to Mexico have been very for
tunate occurrences for the great school. These
organizations have made friends for the institution
by the score. Developments in education along the
industrial route have been in its favor and through
out 1t all the men at the helm have been equal
to the occasion. DR.. Widtsoe the president, and
DR.. L. G. Peterson, the capable moving spirit of
the Roundup have made the most of conditions

COUNTRY WORK IN
THE MISSION FIELD
BY Elder Grin w. Allen, Logan, Utah

Gee whiz Id give a million bones
To be back home asleepiDg,
My shoes are so full Of burs and
stones,
1t makes me feel like weeping.
Last night / sought stack of hay,
Where slumbers letters bound me
And at the cold break of day.
A husky farmer found me.
I tried to pacify his nibe
While he stood there and blessed me
Alas! his pitchfork smote my ribs
And stogy shoes caressed me.
The dogs throughout this country,
too,
All seem to think they need me;
They're gathering samples of my
clothes,
And many times have freed me.
Now when l see vicious dog,
Where trees are scarce to climb,
pass them up, you bet that's me,
No fight with dogs in mine.
One day | sat me down to rest
Quite faint and somewhat dizzy.
Upon large bold hornets nest,
And all the bees got busy.
! jumped up quick and how | rubbed
Those painful stings to soothe,
Till warming inspiration told me,
John you'd better move.
And when | roamed the woodland
path,
To see the wild flowers tinting,
A bull persued me in its wrath.
Till broke all records sprinting.
But when | cleared the pasture
fence,
Some farmer heard me shout,
I'd rather stand here looking in,
Than on the inside looking out
This mission life is very good,
When all is nice and sweet,
And when you have no trouble,
Getting what you want to eat.
But when you're all in, down and out
And find no place to rest,
1t makes you think no place like

Come take me back out West.

TRY 1T YOURSELF FOR AWHILE

Ny friend if the world isn't rolling along
As smoothly, perhaps, 1t might;
II money is scarce and business goes wrong
Though you rest not by day or by night,
Don't envy the who have nothing to do
And live In any old style
Perhaps they would gladly change places with
you
Just try 1t yourself for a while!
when you go home from the Office at night
To a house that is calm and serene
To welcoming eyes and a glory Of light, 's
And a wife who is proud a queen.
II you think that the children are quiet all day.
That the baby does nothing but smile,
And that keeping house is a kind Of a play,
Just try It yourself for a while!
II you think that the lawyer who at his ease
And gives expensive advice
Has only the task of collecting his fees,
And that every pays him his price;
II you think he can work when he pleases, and
BE daily increasing his pile,
With never a to worry fret
Just try it yourself for a while!
II you think that the doctor who comes now and
To give you a pill when you're sick;
Two dollars a visit" and See you again!"
Is doing pretty smooth trick
II you think that his gloves and his automobile
Are only for putting style,
That he not at all how you look or feel
Just try 1t yourself for a while!
II you think that the butcher who sells you his
meat,
And charges you all you pay,
Has never a rival with whom to compete,
And is storing his profits away;
II you think that his apron hears never throb
OF heart that is empty Of guile;
That the signs OF the poor the joys of his job
Just try yourself for awhile!
Believe my friend. you just we'll off,
As the that you think has cinch.
For every mans work, however you may scott,
Is work, when it to the pinch,
The journey of life is hard one, at best
But mile slips away into mile.
And journeys must end and their endings bring
rest
You shall try it yourself after a while!

Polite but Empty.

The age when we boosted OF hold

II we possess any view at all, It is not
usual to express them. This is a
polite, a non-controversial age, one In
which one fears to confess to strong
feelings. To hold ones own opinion
Is to risk being called opinionated, and
the world today would avoid that az
all costs. Our conversation has de-
generated into a state of non commit

amiability is the right note to strike.
Amiable we must be, the world de-

NO TOP ROUND TO THE LADDER

out before him, End the work OF hand and brain

There is much contentment in the life of today
and the sooner We learn the lesson the better it
Will be for all of us. The sooner learn that
wealth and position not happiness but on the
contrary sources Of happiness, there will be
pleasure in the world The sooner the spirit that
dominated the pilgrims the Maynower, that the
individual man is everything and that through his
honesty and integrity Of purpose is he measured,
be he rich poor there will be more good in the
world. Then amtion will be satisfied along nat
ural channels. men and communities will grow
rich, and at the same time possess that fellow feel
ing that makes them "wondrous kind"
One OF the speakers at the memorial services
OF the late Senator Rayner of Maryland voiced
some choice thoughts some Of which follow:
revere the memory of Isdor Rayner not be-
he got to the top. but revere his memory
because wherever he served he served with fidelity
and honesty. Men deserve honor only as they
faithful and honest, albeit they may have fame
and notorety as they successful. But for va
gary Of fortune the unknown sailor at the mast
might have been the famed admiral the bridge
and the obscure soldier in the ranks might have
been the heralded general at the 'front.' the sweat
humble voter the exalted magistrate. Fortune IA
vors, and We are famous; fortune frowns, and
obscure
Whether fortune enables us to become famous
keeps obscure have it within us to say
whether We shall be honest dishonest, faithful
or unfaithful; and accordingly choose do we
deserve the approval the disapproval of our fell
low men. And after ALL what difference does 1t
make whether remembered with the
worlds great men or forgotten with its men
known? 1t may well be that all in playing
little parts are but deceiving ourselves with
our seriousness; that we. with heavy trifing
are the sport of some genius to inconceiv-
able as 1t is unknown.
But, taking ourselves find ourselves,
there Is man with ambition to attain any.
thing who does not soon as he attains 1t find
himself possessed of an ambition to attain some.
thing else above and beyond IT, and the which IL
he does not attain leaves him as much unsatisaed
as II his first ambition had not been realized.
Such is the nature Of human effort and ambition;
perhaps it is well that it is So
This fact of human history teaches us all a
lesson. no matter what may be station in life
our lot, or our fortune il we do duty honestly
and faithfully need envy no man, no matter
what his wealth or what his position. There is no
top to the ladder. Position wealth. and parts
are not in themselves happiness, but on the con.
trary, they often times sources of unhappi-
ness The wise tempers his ambition with

revenge. He recently attempted to
sell the painting and through such
action it was recovered. The picture,
which all the world has heard about,
was originally possessed and treasured
by Italy, its painter being the great
Leonardo da Vinci. When Napoleon,
century ago ravaged Italy with his
armies, he despoiled the churches and
art galleries of their choicest treas

of the things carried away as part
of the spoil, so that this young

SCORCHING THE sPEEDERs.

New York's crusade against auto.
mobile speeders will surely meet with
endorsement. and let US hope, with
emulation-.all over the country.
Five hundred arrests are made in a
day in New York and still many
violators of the law escape.
Owners of cars who respect the
right of others and do not believe that
the mere possession of a machine ex-
ats one citizen above another will be
found arrayed on side of sanity and
security.
London, with a population larger
than Greater New York, registers
fewer than two deaths a month; New
York averages one day, and there is
no more excuse for accidents in one
part of the world than in another. 1t
may be found that even heavy fines
are not sufficient safeguards and that
imprisonment for a period Of time
chat will not make such expiration a
joke is the only method by which re-
form can be effected.
In this connection it is we'll to
say that so far as the records prove
anything they prove that sensible
automobile owners rarely offend.
There are exceptions, to be sure, but
they are not numerous. The joy rider
IN the majority of cases is riding in
a borrowed or hired car, or he is an
employed driver out for a lark or a
