Joseph Brigham Keeler It is not a difficult task in America to find practical men. Experiences incident to the development of a continent have given them ability to understand the new and the strange, and to solve the problems of every-day existence. It is more difficult to find men of such unwavering religious convictions as to rout the forces of doubt and skepticism and safeguard spirituality. The practical seems too have usurped the field of the spiritual. The passing of Joseph Brigham Keeler, however, calls attention to a great type of character, of which he was a noble example, the peculiar development of a peculiar people of the pioneer intermountain region.

Though gathered from the various walks of practical life, these pioneers were nevertheless imbued with deep religious fervor. It was for this reason that they cast their lot with the despised refugees who migrated to the valleys of the Wasatch. As one of this group, the subject of this article, in boyhood learned from his mason father the craft of building adobe houses. When not wielding the trowel, he followed the plow or irrigated fields ot wheat and corn. In the winter time he was afforded the opportunity of attending the humble schools of the day.

But that is only a part of the story. The Sabbath school, the Mutual Improvement association, and the ward meeting supplemented the teachings of a devout, religious home. As a result of these influences he became a Mormon missionary and preached the Gospel of Christ according to the tenets of his faith to the people of America's Southland. When the Brigham Young Academy was founded he became one of the orginal twenty-nine students, and so came under the tuition of that inspired teacher, Karl G. Maeser, and eventually became a teacher in the school.

With great inheritance from a noble parentage and such experiences and training, Joseph Brigham Keeler developed into the dual personality of a practical man, of affairs and an earnest advocate of the religious life. As the man of affairs he supervised the construction of buildings, participated in irrigation and land reclamation enterprises, and engaged in various business enterprises. In the realm of the spiritual, he was for many years active as teacher and supervisor of religious instruction at Brigham Young university and held many important ecclesiastical positions in ward and stake. But "he was never simply a perfunctory teacher or routine director of religious organizations. He was a student and thinker of life mean ability, and brought his profoundest thought to bear in expounding the doctrines of his church, both in oral discourse and printed word.

His deep religious and earnest expression thereof has strengthened i nd preserved the faith of many who have heard his words.

When, in 1928 and early 1929, the charts were showing continued rises in stock prices, a great many people had cold feet about the future. If there had been some way to record foot-temperature on charts, the warning signs would have been plainer than they were. No chart can show what people and corporations intend to spend in it's a safe bet they intend to spend more than they did in 1935. What is in the minds of people today will show up on the charts six months from now. We don't know if this suggests anything to you but to us it suggests that one way to make money is to figure out what millions of people are going to do some weeks hence.

It's our guess that most people, today, are convinced the depression is over; that better times lie directly ahead. But we won't be able to prove it until the graphs appear next July.

The administration has been quietly tipped gff by friends on Capitol Hill that an investigation of Harry Hopkins and his $4,000,000,000 relief fund is due at the coming s'ession.

The warning was no surprise. The relief program has been under heavy fire for months and New Dealers have taken it for granted that when congress reconvened the political opposition would demand a public airing of the way the money has been spent. In fact, the administration hasn't waited for the launching of the attack, but already has started a counter-offensive. That is the inside explanation for the current barrage of speeches by Harry Hopkins and his lieutenants explaining and justifying the Works Progress Administration. In formulating defense, WPA chiefs have divided the criticism into four general classes.

The general criticism plus the official answers follow: First large sums of money have been wasted on "boondoggling." To this WPA replies with the following accounting of how the $1,100,000,000 allocated for work- relief activities is being spent: 10 per cent public buildings, schools; hospitals, courthouses. 30 per cent city streets. 10 per cent country roads. 9 per cent water arid sewer systems. 10 per cent parks and playgrounds.

6 per cent flood control. 6 per cent sanitation and drainage. 3 per cent airports. 15 per cent for white collar jobs, artists, writers, musicians, actors, women, youths, arid the blind. Second charge that partisan politics has been prevalent in the distribution of relief jobs.

The WPAers answer by citing numerous orders issued from Washington demanding strict impartiality -on the part of state and local officials. There is no doubt, however, that the 'WPA boys are treading on weak ground on this point. Third charge certain states were favored with more and larger" allocations of relief projects. To this the administrationites counter with the argument the distribution of funds was made oh the basis of need. That is, those states' with the heaviest uriem- ploy.ed folia were given a larger proportion oj the available money.

Fonrth costs of administering the work program have been excessive. It is admitted that "in -some spots" this has been true. But it is hotly denied that this charge holds water for the program as a whole. WPA bosses say. exact statistics are still unavailable, but contend that present figures indicate the average administrative cost will be less than ,10 per cent.

This amount they say is moderate" and compares favorably with the operating charges of private institutions. (Copyright 19S5, by United Feature Inc.)

"Sandy! I ought to get back downtown. Where we going?" "Oh, Just out to a little place I know by the river, where we can hire a canoe and go paddling up among the water lilies and suchlike, and then eat some supper when' we get hungry." "Sandy, please take me back downtown?" He looked at her; perhaps he saw, in her eyes, that she would not be so very angry if he refused. At any rate he shook his head with a mocking, smile and said, "Not a chance." So they kept on' driving, and half ah hour later they were out of the city, following a highway that led to a little suburban town which lay in the valley of the misnamed Grand river. The river was small and not in the least grand, but it was picturesque, winding a lazy way between green fields, with great drooping willows on its low banks; and Sandy stopped the car beside a little casino, where there was' a modest restaurant and a afternoon; 1 why don't you go They got out, and in a few moments Jean was reclining luxuriously in a canoe, which Sandy, seated in the stern facing her, was sending upstream with practiced, seemingly effortless strokes. thought.
