"Just babies, babies, healthful, fair, From where the Wasatch lion leaps, From sunless snows, from desert deeps. Just babies, babies, everywhere; Just babies in arms, at mother's breast, And robust boys with girls at play, With pounding fiats, too full to rest, As chubby, fat, as fair as they." Joaquin Miller in the San Francisco "Bulletin". "When President Roosevelt was on his Western trip in 1903 the women of Salt Lake seemed to extend the most unique welcome. In that city they greeted the Chief with thousand of babies in their arms. The pink laced infants cooed a welcome at Mr. Roosevelt that filled his big heart with joy, and doubtless if he were called upon to decide as to the city of which belonged the honor for the most appreciated entertainment, he would have decided in favor of Salt Lake." Joaquin Miller in the San Francisco "Bulletin." |
