If we are to have effectual prohibition, we must deal with the liquor traffic radically, and leave no loopholes whereby the wily adversary of men's souls can get access to our communities. Let us march shoulder to shoulder to the fight for the cause of righteousness, for the cause of humanity, for the cause of God. Salt Lake City The Right Way Open your eyes wide, boys; See all that is good to see; Let the vision fill your souls, boys, 'Tis the way of the brave and free; — But look only to the right, boys, Look to the right always. Quickly cover the miles, boys, Of progress' toilsome way; Let ambition have no rim, boys, Your jKmrney be bright and gay. — But turn only to the right, boys, Turn to the right always. Open your souls wide, boys, Sow all that is good to sow; Let what's within come out, boys, 'Tis the only way to grow. — But speak only for the right, boys, Speak for the right always. Grapple with the world's work, boys, Do all that is good to do; Let your hands be active, boys, 'Tis the way the useful do. But — do only what is right, boys, Do what is right, always. The right is the only way, boys. The only way to see; The only way to speak, boys, The only way to be. Fillmore, Utah J. F. Day
