A few days ago, while in conversation with one oi tho prominent business men of Ogden, the gentleman gave his. reasons for opposing law enforcement-These reasons are quoted herewith lie said: "This summer tho natural gas peo into pie will construct their gas lines durlak Sait and the valley; Ogden caring the same time work will be it is ried on at the Echo reservoir; men expected thut a large number of rail' will be employed in building a road from Las Vegas to the Boulder dam site, and a large number of men will be employed in the preliminary work for the lioulder dam.

The Fost recognizes the logic of this argument so lar as the patronage of this class of men is concerned, but Ihe llist does not acknowledge that a majority of laboring men, or a large part, are interested in spendd money for the ing their class of entertainment suggested by tile business man in question.

It is no accident that we, the young est of the worlds great nations by hundreds and thousands of years, lead the world in almost every phase of human activity. From time immemorial, the old world has been torn between conflicting factions, each offering the peopanaceas for all ills, done ple sure-fir- e up in attractive packages of rhetoric.

The differential between victory and defeat is not one of ability hut of action. What is this magic gift which we imagine explains the triumph of those who succeed? Upon analysis it proves to be nothing more mysterious thin the homely gift of doing what you dont want to do, when you don't want to do it! When you say of a successful man that: He, while others slept, was toiling upward in the night, you have uncovered his secret and disclosed his formula. It is plain dynamic character that puts men on top, not some strange and inimitable superiority. Since this is so since success is essentially simple men and women can be taught to succeed, just as they can be trained to plow, sucsew, compile statistics, or drive a car. There will bo courses in in courses have as English, we now science, arithmetic, same the cess, and public speaking. Success involves four elements: physical. mental, spiritual, and economic. Skillfully coach a person to qualify in those four fundamentals and success will follow, like the right answer when you press the proper keys of an adding machine. Those who are inclined to smile at this idea mny well look back and recall their skepticism toward aviation, their doubts of radio, and their pessimism over world peace efforts. The Russian idea of equality seems to be that all shall equally lose. The American idea of equality is that all shall equally win. Here in America there was established a democracy, deeper in degree and broader in scale than anything which the world has ever Our known. This democracy has been continually strengthening. At the last election there were record-breakiinterest, registration and vote. Our people have learned to learn, lcr capita attendance at schools and colleges is at new levels. Our people have learned to enjoy themselves. Wholesome were never so abounddiversions, recreations that really ing. This progress must continue. Democracy must reach its final flower and fruit not only tho present equality of opportunity, but equality' of achievement. Our nations next step is to teach success.

THAT ARIZONA STRIF According to press reports bids will be opened to construct that stretch of rond through Arizona on the Arrowhead Trail or the Zion lark highway, commonly called the Arizona strip. The length of this road is about miles and it will take the twenty-fiv- o better part of a year to build the ney highway. This stretch of road has been an "eyesore for years to the thousands of travelers who have to cross it to get to Los Angeles. However, In all fairness to Arizona wo must admit there was a similar stretch in Utah, just as bad, which was not completed Now both Utah until tho past year. and Nevada have their part of the through route completed to their respective state lines and the traveling public will anxiously await Arizona's completion on its section. When heavy touring travel hits this section again this summer, we may again expect the usual howl from the tourists against this road. We may also expect the usual howl from disgruntled citizens in St. George if the tour bureaus of Salt take City and tas Angeles give out tho correct information on this strip. But there is great satisfaction in knowing the end is near and that within a year the through rpute from tas Angeles to Suit take City should be above criticism. Scenic Motorist.

CANT BEND LAW HERE California, it seems, has decided to start something new in this law business, as it is conducted in the United States. From appearances it looks as though tho officials are really going to enforce the law! Who ever heard of such a strange happening? And in the United States at that! This week every newspaper reader in tho civilized world read of the conviction of Asa Keyes; and they read of the conviction of Northcott. After this public officials must be extremely careful in accepting bribes, especially here in California. A good pastor said the other day, "I believe thut Brother Fitts means business.
