under the law. Then Judge Powers
and the late Frank Dyer chartered
special train, which they called
1.-THE Pilgrim Train" and fife and
drum brigade, and with the candi-
date and some fifteen or twenty ag-
gressive Liberals, visited and made
speeches all up and down the state.
There was never anything like that
before in Utah, perhaps nowhere
else. Looking back, it seems almost
incredible to those who took part in
it, the days-and often the nights were
filled with speeches and marches and
music. 1t was amid the darkness
which precedes the dawn, and the
Transformation of the dawn makes
in thought, the preceding darkness
the more profound. Through 1t all
Judge Powers was the leader and the
inspiration.
Then statehood swiftly followed,
the Liberal and Peoples party melted
away and merged into the national
parties; Utah was redeemed, regen-
Grated and disenthralled," and poll
tics and business took on normal
conditions.
In the practice of his profession
the innate and acquired equipment
of Judge Powers for his work quick
ly shone out and soon established
for him place among the foremost
lawyers of the state. In some branch
es of law he was the ablest advocate
before a court and jury ever seen in
the state. Indeed, his fame Is as
wide as the nations boundaries.
In like manner he was the accept
ed leader of his party, while as an
after-dinner orator it long ago be-
came the rule to look for the very
best that could be said when he arose
to speak.
But, after all, it was in private
life that his greatest charm lay. AS
a devoted husband and father, as a
friend, neighbour as citizen above
reproach, not one criticism was cast

warm human side of his life and that
is what causes the multitude as well
as those who were bound to him by
ties of relationship to grieve so sorely
that he has died. He was not an old
man, but he had fulfilled every duty;
his accounts were all balanced; his

FIJI gut the cause of fires. Mr.. Florin
showed how so per cent of the fires
could be avoided. A new business is
that of fire engineers who show how to
construct buildings and of what ma
terials and how to get the greatest
amount of protection by proper wiring
of electrical machinery, heating plants
and sprinkler appliances. The state
fire Marshal's department issues bull
letins and sends its inspectors through
the state for free advice to the citizens
and has already done much to cut down
the annual fire loss of five million dol
lars. It's main support is from the in
surance companies which are thus en-
abled to write cheaper rates. In
Europe the rates are eight times less
because of better preventing measure
and the loss is about one-ffth. In Ger
many and France there are liability
laws by which fires coming
from negligence of owner or contractor
or renter, places the responsible one
as liable for all damages to others,
puts upon them the cost of the fire
depar tment' s work, and frees the IN
surance company from paying losses.
In closing Mr.. Florian advised the
audience to guard especially in view of
the winter, against defective chimneys
and stoves or furnaces and the use Of
kerosene in making fires. The club
gave rising vote of thanks to those
who had given the addresses.
Messrs. r. B. Griggs, E. J. Battles
and F. w. Schults were appointed a
committee to arrange for the next
meeting which will be open to the la
dies as we'll as the men. On Deem
Der 9Th Messrs J. w. Wright, Will
HaseItine and E. c. Henke were ap-
pointed to arrange for public lecture
to be given during the winter.

TIE Reaction

Woman suffrage defeated in seven
states; Cannon, Penrose, Mckinley and
Barnes endorsed at the polls; prohibi-
ton lost in four states-it's a sad day
for the Cromwellian type of politics
Exit the Roundheads for a time; well
come the Cavaliers under the new
Charles.
The war has taken the popular at
tention from those things which inter-
ested them two years ago. Or maybe
it's not the war. Maybe public atten-
ton is like a child's and it grows weary
under long strain. Maybe the folks
are just tired of Cleon being so ever
lastingly good.
It's hard to tell, but even at that it s
a good old world. The curve of pro-
gress sometimes defects itself from
the straight line, but always it brings
up forward of the place it was yester-
day. The man who grumbles or growls
or loses faith over politics, isn't much
of a man.
Whatever you do, Mr.. Goodman,
dom let politics get your goat. Keep
your faith, hold your courage, and re-
member that the blessed Lord has been
on the job longer than you, and He
knows how to run the world, on the
whole, vastly better than any of US.
Cheer up, pay your debts, go to
church, treat your neighbors fairly
and little more than fairly if they
are weak; attend to your business, love
your wife and children, and with God
be the rest. Emperor Gazette.

FIRE PREVENTION
DISCUSSED BY CLUB

Fire prevention was the subject dis
cussed Monday night by the Mems
Fellowship club at the Presbyterian
church. w. H. Mcintosh told of the
great loss to the country from forest
Tres and the work of the United States
government to stop the waste. E. }.
BATTLES described the dangers to life in
the use Of gasoline and kerosene for
kindIing purposes. Within five years
in this vicinity seven women have lost
their lives. Attention was called to
acetylene gas tanks. F. w. Schultz
showed how the insurance rates could
be reduced by preventive measures
such as lightning rods, especially valu-
able in the country, and the use of non
combustible materials in building W.
J. Power, fire chief of Bara-
boo, spoke of the inspection
of buildings by the department and the
equipment and efficiency of the com
panies.
F. w. Florin, state superintendent of
inspection for the fire m arshall's office,
was present and gave some startling
facts. The annual property loss in the
United States equals double row of
one story buildings on a street stretch
ing from Chicago to New York and at
every Z mile there is wounded or dead
person. The sum of ESQ million dol
lars is paid annually by the insur-
ance companies for fire losses.
IN Wisconsin the loss from FIRE
alone averages $50 per family.
President Me Kinley sounded an alarm
for better fire protection, more firemen,
better equipment and water supply and
the movement then begun has given
the United States the best in the
world. But the fire loss has increased
until it is now one hundred million dol
ars more a year, totallng about six
hundred million dollars. President |
Roosevelt gave new call and that was
This is fire prevention.

FEEL BADLY ALL over?

When you feel badly all over but with
no particular organ of your body notice
ably out of order, you need a tonic for
the blood. You require medicine that
will benefit the whole system. The blood
reaches every part of the body and when
it is, built up the whole system quickly
benefits
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are a non
alcoholic tonic that build up the blood,
making it rich and red and able to supply
to the tissues of the body the nourish-
ment they need to keep them in health.
Most general debility results from thin
blood. Every part of the body suffers
and you "feel badly all over" When
the blood is restored and health-giving
stream is going to every part of the body
you soon see the result in a better appe-
tite, an improved digestion, brighter eyes,
better color in cheeks and lips.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are q most
valuable family tonic and should be taken
by every member of the family except
Infants whenever the general health is
not what it should be. Much downright
sickness has been saved by the use of a
tonic or supporting medicine in times of
physical depression.
A book Building Up the Bloodo will

cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. on request.

War Is Fought By Boys

That war is fought by boys is ia

it overwhelmingly. The department.

was trying to catch on to the way

of the south bound track which cut his
head and rendered him unconscious btt
was not seriously hurt. The accident
occurred in daylight. Some one saw
him and reported it at the station
where the agent picked him up and
cared for his wounds. He was taken
home to LaValle, If the accident had
