half past 10 or IL O'Clock we would
have the papers ready for the mail,
and either late that same evening or
real early the next morning, long be-
fore breakfast time, we would wend
our way with the papers to the State
street cars and climb on the front part
of the old cable car, headed for the
main post Office, which was then To-
Gated on the lake front.
We frequently returned to our home
from the main postofiee on foot in or
der to save carfare.
But today, after firmly waving all
pleasure aside for twenty-one years
whenever any business has been in
sight, The Broad AK has hundreds and
hundreds of staunch friends and sup
porters in all parts of this broad land
and at the present time it has regular
mailing list more than sixty feet long
and more than one hour is consumed
by the man who operates the mailing
machine and four or five girls who
work real fast for more than an hour
in assisting to get it ready for the.
mail, and now when it is ready an ex-
pressman drives at breakneck speed
with the six sacks to the main post
office from whence it is transported
through the mails to all parts of the
United States.
Many times copies containing its
bright and sparkling editorials and
other articles on the leading topics of
the day have been eagerly read by
many of the most eminent statesmen
and other distinguished personages in
this country and far beyond the broad
deep blue sea.
With the aid of the daily press,
whose editors have frequently COM
mented on its neat appearance from its
inception to the present and with the
further aid of the associated press, its
name has been hurled or flashed clear
around or throughout the civilized
world.
1t may not be out of place to state
right here that for twenty-one years
it has CALAMITY fought long and per-
sistent battle in behalf of justice and
the equality of all men before the law.
1t has never knowingly attempted to
transform grand rascals and scoundrels
into purified white-winged angels.
1t has never hesitated in denouncing
those who have attempted to appro-
pirate unto themselves all of the func-
tons of this government and to ride
rough shod over the rights and the lib
critics of the toiling millions. 1t has
made not the slightest difference to it
whether they have been Democrats, Re-
publicans or what-nots.
1t has accomplished many far-reach-
ing and brilliant achievements in the
past. Its two greatest have been its
terrific and memorable onslaughts on
United States Senator Frank J. Cannon !
of Utah, in 1897, 1898 and in 1899,
causing his ignominious defeat in his
to succeed himself in the
United States Senate and that long to
be remembered fight on Senator Can
non has become a part of the history
of Utah.
Its nation or worldwide fight on
United States Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman in 1906, is still fresh in the
minds of the public, which finally ter
by driving him from the lee
ture platform.
For a more elaborate account of
those two most notable events we most
refer the readers of these
lines to the columns of the nineteenth
edition of The Broad Ak,
dated September 5th, 1914.
1t has assisted to shape the legisla-
ton of this mighty nation-this can be
verified by reading senate document
No. 1s2, 54th Congress second session,
page n, which contains an editorial
from The Broad AK, Feb. 10Th, 1897,
in favor of the present National Bank
ruptcy Law. Later on in this review;
letters and a telegram will be produced
to support our contention in this re-
spect.
One of the finest mineral collections
in this country valued at four hundred
dollars, which was collected from IS of |
the leading gold, silver, copper and

and a typewriter catalogue
giving a complete description of the one
hundred and ninety-six specimens
which compose the notable collection,

Julius F. Taylor in 1897. The letters
