Show Hail the B. P. NO CITY in this country will present the splendor which will be all ours next week, during the days the Elks are with us. At no time in its history did Salt Lake entertain so many people from abroad as the vast number who will be here in attendance upon the national na-tional convocation. During the past decade celebrations in honor of statehood state-hood and celebrations to commemorate other events in Utah's history have resembled re-sembled the famed Mardi Gras of St. Louis and New Orleans. These are as nothing to the pomp and pageantry which will be visible next week, from dawn to the going down of the sun. Night will be turned into day by an electrical display covering thirty-five miles of wire. Ours will be truly the second Rainbow City. The grandest thing to contemplate is this that while a city normally contains con-tains good and bad persons, and many who are of no account: that while all of these hr.ve different temperaments, some jovial, some sober and many who are vicious, next week will present a strange feature in human nature. It will show up some thousands of men who are all united in the belief that this old world of ours is a pleasant world; that people are happier as they make others happier, and It is our duty to be cheerful and laugh, not only with your mouth, but your eyes. This is the reason why the Brotherhood of Elks are called "the best people on earth." So they are. |
