SMILE AND BOOST. '
In one of the popular publications
of the country Is published a picture
of a doughnut, , on the body of the
doughnut Is printed, "Crops and Re
sources." On the small round space
in the center of the doughnut are the
words. , "Financial Depression," and
the legend under the picture Is, "Keep
V your eye on the doughnut"
That strike us aa being a good pol
icy, says Truth, the western weekly,
of Salt Lake, It Is a human attribute
to always enlarge on our own Indi
vidual troubles when people have dif
ficulties or troubles they are inclined
to lei their minds dwell on their own
depressing affairs tp such- an extant
that they begin to think their lot Is
harder than anyone else'. But after
all any kind of trouble or difficulty
is good; it develops and make us
better and stronger If we overcome
I Aftd iurmount the difficulty. But
; the danger is that wt allow our minds
,to be convinced that our injury I ir
, totrlevable, when we reach that con
! Cjynlpn then our first real trouble be
gins.
"We met some people the other day
'who were passing through a certain
, difficulty and unpleasant experience,
, and they, expressing the idea that the
fates seemed to be against them and
their lot was harder thany anyone
else's. It was suggested by someone
that they get assistance from certain
quarters, and these people said, "Why,
my goodness, we though of doing
that, but we discovered that these peo
ple were In a much more serious con
dition than we." Bo you, see It is no
trick when you think your lot Is the
hardest to find someone else who Is
much worse off than you.
It is a good idea when we get dis
couraged and think our portion la a
bard one to look around among our
friends and neighbors and It Is almost
a certainty that when we then think
back on our own conditions that we
twill have ample room for rejoicing
. j that we are not In someone else's
. 'i place. ,
f. The trouble wtih many of us is that
we keep our eyes on the hole In the
gjdoughnut and forget the real dough
nut To smile Is a wonderful thing,
jther is nothing so Inspiring when you
feel discouraged as to meet somebody
who smiles, really smiles.
O Let us boost and smile.

BEST BOOSTING.
To the Editor:
First impressions, like smallpox, are
hard to get rid of. If they are good
they enter, and mightily Influence all
subsequent impressions. If bad, they,
like some deadly contagion, spread
odium and disfavor through all later
convictions. The Svestem traveler,
looking from the eminence south of
Union upon the Grande Ronde valley,
behold a sight that thrills him
through and through. Our beautiful
valley spreads like an Eden before
him. And after the desert wastes
over which he has passed so unen-
chanting, have left their depressing in
fluences, he says: "Truly, here Is the
place where, till called to celestial
lands, I shall strike my tent and make
my home.."
Descending, he passes Union and
Hot Lake and sweeps Into La Grande,
the metropolis of this far-famed val
ley, where a divine Providence has
bestowed his most precious gifts with
a lavish hand.
At our depot the stranger steps off
the' train wondering what this valley,
so richly endowed, has produced In
her best city. He casts his eye to the
right, and take In Chinatown; then
the scarlet light district, the brewery,
the saloon and dives.
But on the corner of- Depot street
and Jefferson avenue he stops and la
ment. What a delusion; what a
snare! The well watered plain are,
after all, only a modern Sodom. .Have
I struck hell' dumping ground? Oh,
why should the fairest of earth be
thus despoiled!
Ha not the time come when we
shoutd clean up this fair city? And
give to the moral and more desirable
class of emigrants a new and better
first Impression? Such a sentiment Is
now well night national. Let It sweep
on from the White House to the less,
but no more sacred precincts of our
own "fair" city. Would It not be well
to hear the visiting gentleman In the
rink tonight, as he shall discuss this
matter?
