' Salt Lake City will lose one of its j intellectual citizens and the Unitarian j church a popular and faithful pastor when Rev. Philip S.

The wish is sincere that our minister-i minister-i ial friend may have more luck with f grapes than any Unitarian can pos- ' fc'ibly have with souls. t s The death of Mr. C. E. Conrad at Kalispel, Mont., removed one of the foremost citizens of that state. He was and had been for many years most II prominently identified with the inter- i osts of the state, with its upbuilding and its welfare. When a boy, at the age of IS, he had the hardihood to I I tome to the town of Fort Benton and J make his start in life, which has proved I to be one of the most brilliant careers ever set up by man for himself in this . western country. The editor of this paper received an invitation to attend the exercises of dedication of the new St. Joseph's church at Ogden on Sunday, Dec: 14. A number of ecclesiastical officials prominent in the Catholic church throughout the west will be present !! and in every way the ceremonies will be in keeping with the splendid and costly structure that has been reared after so many years of patient and i unremitting, work. The first comment on President Roosevelt's message, like all other I messages coming from presidents, is I Its length. Roosevelt, however, cov- I cred as many subjects as ' his prede- cepsor, without a spread of printed language uninviting to the busy read-. read-. er of news. As a literary effort, the message is a creditable one. What he says in his message about trusts and combinations is not exactly what he said in his New England speeches. In speech the . president favored a constitutional amendment as a cure. In his message he yields to the argument that the power of trusts may be curbed and evils prevented i under the laws of congress to regu- . late commerce with foreign nations j j &U amonS lne several states. He uses ' some fine platitudes to conciliate the promoters and the victims of consolidated consol-idated capital, reminding us of Dooley's description of Roosevelt's visit to New England, when he makes the president say: " " " 'Th thrusts', says he to himself, 'are heejous monsthers built up be th' inlightened Intherprise iv th' men that have done so much to advance progress pro-gress in our beloved counthry, he says. 'On wan hand 1 wud stamp thim undher fut; on th' other hand not so fast. What I want more thin th' bustin' iv th' thrusts is to see me fellow counthrymen happy an' con-tinted. con-tinted.
