The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-07-14
THE EDITORS.

It is an influential company of gen.
tlemen who will arrive this morning
They are newspaper "fellers." They
hail from the great State of Iowa, and
in the party are represen .atiVes OF many
of the newspapers of that progressive
commonwealth. These gentlemen are
not only the moulders of the public
opinion of their own State, but they are
influential politically, socially, and in q
literary sense beyond the borders Of
Iowa. They represent and control q
press that is mighty in the land, be-
cause it is directed by brains and man
aged with ability and skill.
We are always glad to see members of
the fraternity, and in this instance are
especially pleased; and with US the
people of Salt Lake and Utah generally
will be pleased. The visitors come at a
time when everybody will welcoms
them. They come when all are desir
ous that they shall see and learn every
thing possible in and of our
fair Territory and its people;
and when we want them to
fell the multitude TO whom they
communicate through the medium
of the types, of what they see and learn
We think we have a goodly land, fair
to look upon and pleasant to dwell in,
and so thinking our desire is that 9TH
ers shall come and see and enjoy it.
We believe this is an honest, indus
trious, progressive community, and so
believing we wish other honest, in
dustrious, progressive people to join
with US in the good work CT develop
ment in which We are engaged. We know
the Territory possesses vast natural
resources, and tempting opportunities
for the investment of capital and the
display of enterprise, and knowing this
we solicit the capitalist and the enter
prising man to come here and give his
money and him self chance.
Much as has been written about the
Utah community, very little that is
true concerning the people, and less
that is correct concerning the Territory
has been told. The average writer
editor or correspondent-who has come
among US for a day or two, has been
blind ard deaf to all things save the one,
that this community presented prob
lem" which it was his first duty to
solve with his pen. We can inform
Our Iowa friends at the outset that
they will find here, search as diligently
as they may, no grave social OR polit-
icaI puzzle demanding a solution.
Whatever others may have discovered,
or thought they found in the way OF
serious problems other than those of a
material character, nothing of the kind |
can be seen to-day, for in all It's essen
tial features and practices, this COM
munity is not radically unlike that
from which our visitors come. We are
here to live, to find happiness, to make
money, to do good; in fact, for the |
same reason that other people are IN
w
to come and see u.s. and by participa-
ton, help US enjoy and make the most
of the good things We possess and the
advantages which our country offers.
THE HERALD hopes the excursionists
will enjoy their brief soiourn with US.
Their welcome is hearty end sincere,
they may feel assured, and their enter
tainment will be such as our homely
but honest hospitality can make
it. And when they go we hope
they will carry with them
pleasant memories of Salt Lake,
aud different ideas than the popular
ones have been, concerning Utah aud
her abused people.
