All other states UNCLE JOE CANNONS MESSAGE TO AMERICANS Members of the presidents cabinet, United States senators, governors of states and many others of note, together with all the regions round about Danville, Illinois, gathered in that city to celebrate the 87th birthday of Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, for nearly four fifty years a member of the house of representatives and for elec-tion to last the terms the speaker thereof. Prior congressional Uncle Joe announced that he would not be a candidate for conHe was first elected to serve in the forty-thir- d gress and has served continuously from that time, with the exception of two terms, up to the 4th of last March. No man on earth has a greater number of friends than he and no one enjoys the confidence and respect of his fellow men to a greater extent. The celebration of his 87th birthday was also a celebration of his home coming and retirement from politics. The following was - his address to the friends gathered about him and his message- to the people of the United States : Friends, this demonstration of your affection is in itself compensation for my half century of public service ; the extent of my gratitude cannot be weighed or measured. To all, my heart goes out in thankfulness. To you, to all the people of America, from my observance ,of half a century, I bring this message have faith. Often you will feel that you detect a great uneasiness, an unrest, a threatening undercurrent in this government. This is neither new or unusual. I have learned that America will rise to meet her problems. I have learned that good will triumph over evil. Have faith in the government of your fathers. Show your faith by works to support that government. re-electi- on. . Have faith that right will prevail. 1 THE TYRANNY OF LEGISLATION This would seem to be the age of legislation. The railroadfs are being legislated to death. Commerce is being stifled by legal restrictions and the business man is so hedged about by laws that he goes forward warily as a man treading upon thin ice. Also he hires a lawyer to make out his income tax report. The law goes farther.. It is now seeking to regulate mans personal habits and tastes. It is well to remember that history repeats itself in cycles through the ages. The following excerpts from Lord Macaulays account of the reaction that took place in England after the restoration from the extreme Puritanism of the Cromwellian ' period, sets one to think. Toward the close. of the protectorate many signs indicated that a time of license was at hand. But the restoration of Charles 'srl the change wonderfully rapid and violent. Profligacy became a test of orthodoxy, and loyalty a qualification for rank and office. A deep and general taint infected the minds of the most influential classes and spread itself through every province of letters. In the fashionable libertine there is a hard, cold ferocity, an impudence and lowness, which can be paralleled only among the heroes and heroines of that filthy literature which encouraged well-defin- ed it. It were ever thus. Human nature will generally go from one extreme to the other. There is constant flux and reflux of public opinion and behavior. Will this be the result in this country when thepresent wave of regulatory legislation subsides? Will we react as pid the people in the time of Charles II ? . We are largely of the same race and imbued with the Anglo-Saxo- n spirit and love of liberty and independence. Americans are no more inclined to submit to tyranny, whether by an individua1 or a majority, than were their ancestors. Unless the present trend to correct every human ill by legislation is checked, there will come a time of violent reaction, for such is the nature of man. TOO MANY OPINIONS Our reportorial habit may perhaps receive a check if some of the ponderings over Conrads arrival among us are taken to heart. The New York World, for instance, moralizes in this wise over his frank avowal that he hasnt a critical mind: The relief afforded by such a statement is some measure of the density of the critical atmosphere in this city. Mr. Conrad will look almost in vain for fellow-spiriamong the writer folk who will bump elbows with him, or avoid bumping them, at dinner, lunch and tea. In so far as New York is literature at all it is critIts critics are its literary and estimate-riddeical; opinion-ma- d heroes, and they maintain themselves in popular favor by comment on a thin stream of creative work, or, when that fails by comment on each others comment. The popular reading-matte- r among educated Americans is nearly always critical analysis of literature or life, seldom contemporary literature itself. This may explain to a certain extent why Joseph Conrad has written more powerful novels since he first put pen to paper than the United States has produced as a whole over the same period. Our talented folk keep up to the minute ; they know the proper thing to think and say concerning each newcomer or latest fad on the literary circuit, and thev wear themselves out following the ts n. styles. Unless a pleasure-love- r to have much pleasure. is also a work-lov- er he isnt likely If every great promiser also was a great performer, most of us would be millionaires. HOW TO BE HAPPY By Alf Osnkmd Feed yerself the kind of rations that will keep you young and strong. Visit all yer poor relations jist to help them get along. Exercise yer mind and body in the fresh and open air, lest you get so sour and soddy that you learn to kick and swear. Dont you be a Sammy Horner with yer piece of Christmas pie, sittin in yer selfish corner waitin for a qjiance to cry. Get yer lazy limbs in motion and expand yer narrow chest with some kind of true devotion for the finest and the best. Let the pinions of yer fancy feel the fibers of the breeze till you get so warm and prancy that yer feet will never freeze. If you have been kind of lazy, out you go and make a strike, showin folks that you air crazy for the job you didnt like. Turn the corners of yer whiskers up towards the silver moon, and be one of merry friskers I that air dyin off too soon.

The lake is 8,500 feet above sea level, is seven miles long and about one and a half miles wide, feet to varying in depth from a few four hundred. It abounds in the following varieties of trout: the mackinaw, which never fails to delight the fisherman, and which weighs from one to forty pounds. The steel head variety, varying from one to six or seven pounds in weight, which causes the fisherman to receive the thrills of an Izaak Walton, when he enough to hook one, for there is no trout within our streams hr lakes that subject the fisherman to so much trouble in landing them, as do these speckled beauties.

There are also our native black spotted lake to trout, weighing from one-ha- lf our and nine and each, pounds eight speckled rainbow variety. On account of the elevation and beautiful scenery, this lake is a veritable paradise, not only for those who enjoy fishing, but foiythose seeking diversion from days f toil. It is surrounded by woods, mountain life pleasheights, and all that make urable. From July 1 to September 30, the days are just hot enough to known quite as well as any spot in Uta-to those who get pleasure in catching the finny tribe. The water flowing from the reservoir con-- J tinues down Strawberry and the Du- chesne River, eventually reaching the Green River. There are hundreds of streams throughout Duchesne and Utah counties, which empty into the Duchesne River, and which contain myriads of our native trout. There are some 600 lakes here in the tops of the Rockies, from which the above streams come, which, though accessible, are not well known and have been but little fished by the white man. Here, where the scenery makes that of the Alps pale into insignificance when compared therewith, one may forget all the troubles of earth, as, under his canvas cover he enjoys the savory smell from his frying pan, which comes from the burning pine.

WEBER RIVER Weber River extends from the heights of Summit county down to Ogden city and contains four varieties of trout. Both Weber and Provo rivers also contain mountain herring, which many of our sportsmen declare compares favorably with our mountain trout. OGDEN RIVER The fish and game department of the state is taking special pride in seeing that Ogden river is well stocked with several varieties of trout. This river extends from about thirty miles east of Ogden city, emptying, near Ogden, into the Weber river. LOGAN RIVER Extending a distance of about five miles from the beautiful city forty-- of Logan, the scenic Logan canyon leads to the headwaters of the Logan river, which also contains an abundance of rainbow, native and easternbrook trout. These varieties are also found in many more canyon streams, which because of lack of space, we cannot mention.
