Good Thought.
Phillips Itrooks: "Do not pray for
easy lles! Pray to bo stronger men!
Do not pray foi tasks equal to your
powers. Piay for powers cipial to
your tasks! Then the doing of jour
work shall be no miracle. Hut you shall
be a miracle Kvcry day you shall
wonder at youisclf, at the richness of
life which lias come In jon by the
grace of God."
Stuyvesant Fish: "The contest Is
no longer between thoso who have and
those who have not, but between
those, on the one hand, who have
moderately and, on the other, those
who through the use of trust funds
and the power incident thereto seek
by questionable practice's to have ex
cessively.'' Dr. James P. Haney: "We have
taught many things and taught them
well, but wo have been so strict and
dogmatic and cold that our teaching
lias been disassociated from the love
for humanity. Social education means
that every child from the elementary
schools shall go out with a conscious
ness of.duty toothers."
Prof. J. Laurence Laughlin, of the
University of Chicago: "The man who
is fit succeeds and the mau wtio is un
fit fails, and when men who fall wish
society to do for them what they con
fess to being Incompetent to do for
themselves, we have the explanation
of the demand for socialism, for social
Ism is the philosophy of failure."
Win. S. Cox, In a letter to the Chi
cago itccoid-Herald of Dec. I), l'JOO:
"What sense Is there in the plan of
shutting the drunkard away fiom the
saloons, when at tho same time we arc
making a new crop of drunkards?
Why is It that men of brains, rcligous
men, moral men and men high In
power and authority never get hold of
tho right end of this damnable liquor
trallle? Why docs not somebody say
sbmelhlng, wrlto something, do some
thing, vote something for the homes
of our country, for ttie voteless women
and unprotected children? Why do
not our statesmen, our piesldent, our
congressmen and members of our legis
latures say something about tills, the
paramount issue and the most gigan
tic problem of anv age, Instead of glv
lug nil their attention to tariff and
trusts, big families, protecting the
birds and letting tlmbojs and gills go
to destruction?"
Miss Anita Moore, of St. Louis, In a
recent address befoio the Missouri Im
migration Association, said:
"Hero then, is the problem for the
phllatilhioplc people tosohe. Instead
of giving all their money to charity in
the cities, cither personally or thtough
organizations, let them help these
people to go bacic to nature. Tho
charity that simply supplies the Im
mediate material needs of a man Is
not worthy of the name. It robs the
Individual of his divine Inheritance
Independence and makes of him a
chronic pauper, without his self-re-pect.
Charity given in a ctiy is a
makeshift. The same money applied
to getting the samo people Indepen
dently established In the country will
make of them splendid cltUcns; it
will enable them not only to exist but
to prosper; will help them to educate
their children In ttie excellent schools
which aro provided In ovcry town and
hamlet, and will add to tho prosperity
and greatness of our nation."
Arthur Hrlsbane, In anedltorlal-ln
tho New York Kvcnlng Journal of last
summer, said;
"Tho history of successful men Is
nearly always ttie history of country
boys. In almost every gieat city tho
father and mother who will can get
out of tho city. Ttie population mfist
spread. Kven the poorest pcoplo will
go from tho tenements to tho subuibs

The Old Folks At Smithfield
Aged People Wined and Dined and Made
to Have a Jolly Good Time.
Dance at Night a Great Feature. Other
Matters of General Interest.
SM1THFII:LD, Feb. 2I,1007.-Old
Folk's day at Smithfield was one of
the greatest das In the history of our
little city. Hundreds of the aged
mingled together tlnougliout the day,
and In piogiam, feasting and dancing
enjoyed themselves to the limit.
Kvcry caic and attention was given
them, the program itself was one of
gieatcst merit, the banquet wasa roal
feast of every good thing obtainable,
and the dance x tho evening proved
more, enjoj able than most.
Tho festivities began In the early
morning when vehicles provided raced
over the town after the aged folks to
bring them to the meeting place. Ity
12 o'clock our spacious tabernacle was
tilled with tho veterans and jouneer
friends and tho most jojous feelings
prevailed. The tabernacle was decor
ated w Ith Hags and bunting and across
the front was stretched a large banner
bearing ttie word "Welcome," and all
present were made more than welcome.
Nothing was too good for the guests
of honor and visitors and In the splen
did hospitality all enjojed themselves
as had scarcely been their portion be
foic. .Along about noon, the throng sat
down to tables laden with every deli
cacy and substantial and the sight
was an Inspiration Indeed. The grey
heads and grey beards, with many
whose locks had scarcely turned, were
seated at eleven long tables, and each
Individual wore a dtircrcnt colored rib
bon to Indicate the age, ttie light blue
representing those above ninety years
These wcie few, however. The oldest
persons present wcro David Heaps,
who could boast of !! jcars, and Lars
O. Sorenson, 00 jears, and for men of
that ago were quite active.
Duilng tho big feast no less than 430
pcoplo sat at the tables and all were
tilled to their heait's (or stomach's)
cntent. After tho tables I ad been
cleared away camo
The Big Program.
The program rendered was one that
more than tho old folks appreciated.
It was a program good for any day of
ttio week and on any occasion, but to
go Into detail Is hardly pcrmissablo at
tills time. The numbers as rendered
were as follows:
Singing, by the tabernacle choir.
Prayer, John Alirens.
Speech of welcome, Janus J. MelUle,
chairman of the Old Folks' committee.
Solo, U. J. Hammer, with violin
obllgato, by Prof. Smith.
Recitation, Mrs. Alma Llttlcdyke.
Quartette, B. II. Lundqulst Sc Co.
Solo, Mrs. William Sparks.
Comic song, by Mrs. Itertha Mather
"Pioneer Dajs," Sylvester Low Jr.,
who made a good talk. Mr. Low
showed ono of tho tlrst copies of the
Desert News.
Solo, Mrs. Jean Lundqulst, with
violin obllgato by I'rof. Smith.
Speech, Dr. Secrlst.
Solo, Win, Pllklngton.
Speech by Seth Langton, tho llrst
whlto boy born In Smlthlleld.
Paper, Mrs. Mary Peterson.
Musl6, Guitar and Mandolin club.
Farewell speech, by Dr. R, J. Smith-
Singing, "nard Times Como Again
No Moro," by Allco Done &Co.
Henedlctlon, Newton Woodruff.
Tho program occupied the greater
part of tho afternoon. Tho various
numbers were applauded heartily and
most of those on tho program had to
respond with a second cllort,
"After tho piograui lunch was served,
and later a host of youug and old went
to Hlllyard's hall and engaged In
A Big Dance.
The danco given the old folks turned
out to bo a splendid social and tlnan
clal success. Tho old folks were not
cliargcd admls'slon, of course, but even
then 120 tlckots were sord,.arid a host
of spectators wcro present, as well.
Many of the old-tlmo dances wcro In
dulged In, some of the veterans cut
ting capers that nono could havo he
lloed possible. The. music was fur
nished by the SruUhtlcld Corne't band,
I
-r- ryy, ' m" ' ni'"rajt ' ' ' '
which also furnished good music
tlnougliout the day. In some of tho
Jfgs the older people were experts
firand Success.
The whole affair from beginning to
end could hardly have been a greater
success, and the Old Folks' committee
Isdescivingof greatest pulse. Mem
bers of the commlttc had woikcd hard
and long, were Instant In and out of
season, and the result was most grati
fying. It might be mentioned that sevcial
members of ttie hand cart company
were with us on this occasion, these
being James Mclkle, James Sheen,
James Shorten. John McDonald,
Phena Rain, Annie Thornley, KlUa
beth Smith and Mrs. Hiram Covey.
Pass Resolution.
The Old Folks, not unmindful of the
affairs of "the day, noted the vote In
tho Snioot case, so at ttie banquet as
sembled decided that an expression
from them was due. They according
ly concurred unanimously in tho fol
lowinir resolution:
"Resolved, That we recognle and
appreciate the good judgment of ttie
United States Senate in confirming
the right of Senator Smoot to retain
his seat In tticsenato."
Personal Mention.
Sylvester Lowe and a II ve-y ear-old
son had a very narrow escape from
serious Injury and death, perhaps, on
Tuesday. Mr. Lowe was chopping
down a large tree, and when about
finished sent a son after a rope to pull
it over. While Mr. Lowe stood
waiting for the boy's return the tree
toppled over, a largo limb knocking
him to tho ground. A tivo-jear-old
son standing near ran squarely under
the butt of tho tiee, and but for tho
fact that roots held the tree high from
tho ground tho little fellow must have
been crushed. As It was neither ho
nor Ids father was Injured
Dr and Mrs. R.J Smith leave to
morrow for California on account of
the continued 111 health of M rs. Smith.
A Dr, Secrlst, of Kentucky, has pur
chased Dr. Smith's practice and Is
now with us. Smlthlleld regrets the
enforced departure of ttie Smiths, but
gives the new man warm welcome,
hoping that his stay hero may bo
pleasant.
Funeral services over the remains
of Mrs. Peter Anderson wero held to
day. She had suffered untold pain
from cancer of the face, and her death
came as a great relief to tier. At Hie
funeral Rlshop Mlles.Ole Olsen and
Christian Plowman spoke words of
praise and comfort. Many friends
and acquaintances followed tho re
mains to the cometcry.
Water lias been conducted Into tho
tabernaolo.from the city water mains.

A Poem.
Written for and road at ttie old
folks party February 14, 1007, by Hor
ace W. Hancey.
Wrlto something for the old folks?
Why, what can I say,
To give clieer and comfoit,
To these old folks todaj ?
When I try to sing their praises
For the deeds that they havo done,
I find my thoughts Inadequate,
And my tongue appeals dumb
For of all those who arc worthy
Of our honor, and our praise;
It Is the nob'e plonceis
Or these, the latter das;
They who have so valiantly
Fought tho battles of life,
And have 'ere piovcd truoand faithful,
When the powers of sin wcro life.
When the gospel light tlrst found them
In lands far, far away,
They knew at once the master's call
And hastened to obey.
Though cast out by friends and kin
dred, And those they deatly loved;
They left all for tho glorious Kospel
Restored again from above
They left their dear old native soil,
Sailed o'er ttio raging sea,
And came unto tills goodly land,
Ttie land of liberty
Came where as mighty a prophet,
As ever graced earth's sod,
Was striving with all his energies
To lead mankind to God.
In Missouri, and Illinois,
In Klrtland, and Nauvoo,
Through bitter trials and sorrow,
To God they still proved true.
No faltering, nor wavering,
They sought their God eacli day
For knowledge, strength and wisdom,
To walk tho narrow way.
In those dark das of Illinois,
After Joseph Smith was slain,
Under the Prophet Ilrlgham Young
They marched forth oneo again
Into ttie dreary wilderness,
Llk'o Isiaelofold;
To the mountain vales of ICphralm,
ity prophets long foretold.
They camo unto fair Utah's vales,
'T-.vas then a dreary place.
Rut now, through their noble elfoits,
lleauty beams o'er all Its face.
The prints of their toll and labors
Arc seen on eveiy hand;
And thero's peace, and Joy abounding,
All o'er our happy land,
Tho deserts blossom as the rose;
Sweet birds sing In the trees.
The hum of toll and Industry,
Is wafted o'er tho breeze.
There's Joy and peace on every hand.
The wolf driven front ttie door;
And God's klndom is established
To remain forever more.
Fathcisand motheis, God bless joul
Long on earth may you llvo
To enjoy the fruits of jour labors,
And to us otir councils give.
You have nobly fought life's battles,
A righteous crown you've won
And today wo say, all honor,
To jou, for what jou'yc done.
-We will build on jour foundation,
Tiead the paths that you have trod;
Ro hue to our Oou and country,
And hold to H16 Iron rod.
When we've crossed tho mighty river,
And reached tho golden shore,
May wo meet again tho old folks,
And part with them no more.
