We wish you mighty well, each of you. The Press aid Standard faces the year 1911 with a great deal of confidence and courage. We desire to thank the many, many generous friends who have stuck to us and made our work possible. While we have made some enemies they have '~Beca made i& the discharge of a duty as we saw It, and we have no apologies to make. We have sot failed to show up crookedness whenever we have been able to do so. and we believe the great ma jority ©T our people .will stand by us la what w« have done. We pur- poee In the future to do as we have dona' la the past. Let the light shlae od the Just and on the un- just.

The man- who doubts his ability to cope with the conditions In which he la placed has about concluded to give up al ready. He is " alf whipped before the fight begins. Keep courageous and grimly determined that you will succeed. Do not allow your self to believe that there are hard Mmee heVe or coming, and do not tell others there are.

If these people must come here they should be charged a license in keep ing wltb the amount of money they cany eff It Is stated that the ccruival company which spent a week 'ic.e recemly i.«rr.t,. aw*,* in> Ire :n fifteen •t.ti.•••«.} or two thousr-nd dollars. Atd yet the license paid by them was a mere pittance. Hundreds of dollars of hard-earned money Is carried awe,/ by these frequent fhows and the public Is not beaefltted In the least. A circus or a good carnival company, such as was tho first to visit St. George several years ago, Is perhaps all fight, but too many small affairs do hurt. We are told by some of the merchants of St. George that the week following the recent ce-rnlval was ver)< dull in business. Some may say that the people are not forced to patronise these shows. This Is true as far as It goes, but when the temptr- ,tlon is here there are too many people who cannot, or will not, re sist. We have seen them spend the last dollar to eater a show. Who suffersf We doert believe the revenue is sufficient to offset the damage done to the community either financially or mornlly.—Dor* chestpr Eagle. Drainage Oowpaay Organised.
