r 4e Q jI f I OW TO PROMOT THE JW t tLfAR Of IU STAT BISHOP L SCANLAN Good Will Toward Fellow Men Will r Promote States Welfare WhIch is the best way to promote I Utahs welfare in 1900 Persons Will t differ in their answers to this qufStion J jUst as thy disagree about the mea1 ing they attach to the word welfr e i While I db not dery tha matcrial pros peTitthe Joulnr Idea of welfare and the one implied in U1C question if properly appreciated and administered administer-ed i productive of a certaln kind of welfare yet I hold that the true Idea of welfare and of Its source not only fur the people Of Utah but for all ptop1s always and everywhere is to be found jn the few words uttered by the angels over the stabl of Bethlehem on II night Of the Saviors blrthGlory ba to God in Ute highest and peace on earth to men gocod wm y 3 there It Is the anmver to the nbn j question and also tile divine soutlOn of the problem of human life and thC oniy source of all real welfure cIvill zatloii and

will according toOods I w111the standard and measure Or all goodIt follows that we should have J for our fellow men the same mil and Ti broad love whIch God has for them and which he manifested so clearly In the earthly life Of his onIy son Jesus Chrt ChEa Ea h human being thercfore pOEe = IreS the memssimple and easytf promoting the real welfare of his fellow beings He has only to contrIbute rtJ mite of his good will And why npt make this little contribution In nIne cases out of ten it costs hIm nothing but a kind encouraging or sympathetJc wod And when the exchange of goodwill good-will is mutual and universal he gets Ia nlurn a hundred yea a thousand foldthe good will and love of hIs fellow fel-low men Besides who ever got from a Dad will towards his fellow beings anything except torture of mInd and veatton of spirit Iorelover do we not ill gratitude If not in justice Oe this gncd will to our fellow mortals Our Individualism our selfishness and for getfulnct13 of our dependence on our fellow beings Is one of the most fruitful fruit-ful sources of disorder and unhappinc of our age and country A moments reflection will sbow us that we are indebted in-debted to them

clesmone that ought to be kept at home Good evIdence f what can be done in this field is furnished by the sugar factorIes The millions of dollars that heretofore were sent out of our state In payment for sugar are now is tamed here If other industries were fostered by the raIlroad it se4ms tome to-me that many articles QuId be manufactured man-ufactured at homearticles that Ire now shipped In It the pay rolls of factories that indicate in-dicate real prosperity in a community and every dollar that ctn be kept at home adds just that much to the wealth and prosperity of the state I am a firm bellever in home Indusry and therefore beleve It should be fostered I in even proper way It wilt be a I great lSOurce of income and profit to our state when the iron that abounds in endless quantities is utilizdd It seems to me that the time is not far distant hen capital must certainly be attracted by such great open1nzs where coal and iron are near neIghbor > Similar conditions lalf the foundation for Penrt3yvanIas great wealth The I amount of iron used now In Utah and a1jacent states runs into millions annually t an-nually The amount used In our mines alone Is immense Steel rails could be made here much cheaper than they are shipped In from foreIgn olnls If they were made here It vould greatly stimulate the building of railroads Unless all signs fall 1900 will be a prosperous

foundation upon which to build the states progresG and prosperity That secured we thud with only a p3fslng nctlce leave disappointed political slanderers and revengful religious defamers like tha

lat promote Utahs welfare in 1DOO Or any other year even though the golden ale now appears to be the god of the world Extension of the Utah Pacific railway rail-way to San Diego Ca and to the cx tpnsive coal and Iron fields of southern Utah would undoubtedly prove a wonderful won-derful promoter of the states welfare During 1900 the marvelous mineral deposits or Deep Creek and vicinity should

wider recognition recogni-tion away rom home this year than ever before But there still remains much to be accomplished and the boot way tO promote Utahs welfare in IS00 Is a timely topic Its mines are and must continue to be Utahs paramount industry It is scarcely necessary to eooourage acth lty in this directient because the search = ea in I efter the precious mutals has inherent Inducements > sufficient to attract most people But it will bo well besides doing do-ing our work in hunting for and opening open-Ing up properties ro continue to do such legitimate advertising as may serve to make our resource known tn the world and InvIte higher capItal which otherwise would be used elsa where I might suggest here that tIre I third sessiOn of the international mint lag congress Is to be held at Milwaukee t in June and perhaps it would prove profitable for Utah to send a large and representative delegation besIdes fUrniShing fUr-niShing a mineral exhibit from this state In these das

find a large markEt at good prices In Gnllforna where ccal i51 scarce and high Then there are the Iron deos its the development or which would entail the building and operating of large steel and Iron

beat or the many ways whereby Utahs Ii welfare can be promoted In1900 The suggestion is humbly made that more unity would be a good thing It would be both novel and inspiring to t see exhibited throughout the state a little of the spirit of the old lady at the barn raisin who cries out at I the supreme moment Push and it you cant push pull The runaway waters of the range have been harreased and their energy is I pro d1relng the lower and light we use How would It do to ultilize some of the enSrg we devote to fighting over the Mormon Iluestton and the Gentile question rnd all or the other Questions whIch keep us in turmoil and trouble I toward the promoton of local harmony harm-ony and the advertisement of our advantages ad-vantages to homesee1ers and capital I IsIs In other states This we could accomplish if we would that is if veritas and pro bono publico and taxpayer and von POP 111 ull and the rest of the boys who whenever a movement Is started for thd good of aU rush out and bat the proposition prop-osition over the head with cards in tha prints will only let us Here In Salt Lake W6 need many things that popu hr pressing demand can secure for us We need a unIon depot a public lIbrary building and lawS to eradicate weeds from our streets and to compel the clearIng of snow from sidewalks in residence districts and more pavements t and padng andone less preacher of I the kind who talks so glibly Qf hell and damnation and call women old heifers with the alleged object of saying routs Let us unite and strive for these and other blCESings in 1900 1 I P W MAJSEK Politicians Should Cease Stirring Up Religious Strife If our newspapers and chehp politi clans would cease stirring up religious prejudIces in our state ea tern people would come in more freely and settle down and there would be more sale for our real estate than at present Ve have more resources than any other I western state and our rich iron mInes would not He idle but would be developed de-veloped and furnish work for hundreds of people But this agitation kept up In Utah and In the whole country concerning con-cerning Utah keeps capital and good citizens outpeoDle who think conditions condi-tions are ten times worse than theY I are and who but for this would settle I among us and thus make a better market mar-ket for I roducts and ral estate c i LOUIS COHN I Believes In Building UpUtahs Home Industries I should say from the amount of business done the pact year in Salt Lake a very prosperous year for all merchants that there is here a good field for Industries that are kindred tOithe mercantile business If there are any manufactorlea here non that are nut on a paying basIs the fault Is surely sure-ly due tO the management and not for lack of a suitable market The wonderful t won-derful progress made by our sugar plants Is a good illustration or wh1t I have in mind They keep money In the state and Ih cannot other ndnstrles be run in the same way Our firm has paid large sums of money to Portland for woolen textiles especially blankets and to San Fran cLeo too This money we would have been only too glad to keep here In patronizing pat-ronizing home Industries btft could not do It We have our own wool In Utah why cannot itbe utilized at home i 7 Ii I Ii
