been struggling to irregularly gain con-

the payment of school taxes, should now
subside, and let educational matters

The opinion of the Attorney-General

merely suggestive to the Utah Commits
sion, but it will guide the latter in its
action upon the question involved and
prove quite as binding as a Judicial de-
cision. Judge zane's dismissal of the
bill of the protesting taxpayers of the
Seventh district praying for perpetual
injunction against the collection of the
tax levied by the vote of property
owners, (polygamists and monogo-
mists) puts legal quietus upon the
protest so far as this court is concerned,
and probably rs to all others, as it is
doubtful if the case will be appealed.

Democrats had a plurality in the State
of 1924, but the combined vote of all
the opposition candidates made ma
iority against the Democrats of 1886,

ture. This body, through the gerryman
dering to- which the State has been
subjected, is Republican, and it chose
officials of its own party, the will of.the

BELVA YIELDS.


Belya A. Lockwood, late candidate
for the Presidency, in her organ,
National Equal Rights, gracefully and
generously comedies the election of
Grover Cleveland, tenders her thanks
to the press and public, asserts that the
campaign has demonstrated that a
woman may constitutionally be voted
for and elected to the Presidency or
either house of Congress, and declares
her intention to "settle down to bust
ness" for four years more. Her future
aim will be to educate and agitate, and
whenever an election offers "we shall
have the nominee OF our party in the
field, and at the next Presidential cleo
ton we shall again have our own Presi-
dental nominee, selecting, like the other
parties, the most available nominee
She further declares that I'VE believe
that the Constitution as it is, interpreted
with the same logic and with the same
fairness that other legal documents are
interpreted, gives the ballot to woman. F"
This generous and unequlvocal ac-
quiescence in the result of the November
battle on the part of the fair Belva, Will
have tendency to quiet the fears of the
masses who didn't understand what
her long silence portended. If she had
refused to accept the count, complica-
tions might have arisen that would have
brought disorder to the country that
could only have been overcome and
adjusted by bloody revolution. The
nation is under obligations to Belva.

OF THE PEN.


Isl Louis Giobc-D Democrat.
In the days OF parchment and a
rus, pens were unknown 5ecause there
was no need for them. The ink was as
thick then as printing ink now is, and a
brush was the thing with which to ap-
ply the ink to the parchment. To the
present day the Chinese still use a brush
for this purpose, as also do most OF the
Oriental nations. But the invention Of
paper necessitated more delicate touches
than could have been made with a
brush, and tho first effort to meet the
need was a split reed. For a long time
this answered the purpose, but when
greater nicely vas demanded, the
goose quill was pressed into service.
and for ages supplied the demand.
During the last century, many efforts
were made to improve on the quill, the
necessity Of constantly mending it be-
ing found a drawback to its use, but
all were unavailing. The attempts were
principally directed to fitting the points
with some substance harder than the
quill, so that mending would not be
needed, points OF steel, copper, agate,
and even diamond and ruby being tried,
but all to no purpose. In the first
years of the present century pens began
to be made entirely Of metal, and the
survival Of an old habit was plainly
prominent in the first steel or metal
pens made. they being shaped in the
form of a quill as nearly as possible.
They we're fearfully hard, stiff things;
went scratching w the paper with a
most abominable noise, and spluttered
at a great rate, and as they sold for 90
cents each, were not very popular.
In 1920 elliott, the pen manufac-
turer, made a wonderful improvement
in their manufacture, giving tho pen
three Sits instead of ono, which gave
more lexibility. improvements in ma
chinery reduced the selling price so that
he was able to sell these three-slit pens
for about $40 a gross. 1t is worthy of
note that a better article of pen Is now
made and sold for 25 cents n gross
than could then be made for $40, the
difference being in the perfection Of the
machinery, calling for less atten-
ton from the men employed.
The cheaper pens are made entirely by
machinery, but the better grades are
partly by hand, and it is computed
that the various manufacturers turn
out every year about 400, 900, 900 pens,
to be used once or twice and then
thrown away.
The process Of manufacture is exceed
ingly interesting, and the persons en-
ployed in Sitting the pens by hand
acquire wonderful skill, so that a quick
cutter will shape 10, 600 pens in a day,
and a good Sitter will cut the Sits in
%. 600.
