NEEDS A DELICATE TOUCH.
The Diamond setter and His Method a
Fixing Precious Stones.

Few people outside the jewelry trade
have anv idea how the brllllants they
buv and wear are fastened into their
settings, and a great many retail jew
elers who have sold jewelry for years
are equally as ignorant, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. The art OF setting
iewelry is comparatively simple, the
skill of a setter depending on his knowl-
edge of the strength of material and
the delicate touch required. which can
only be gained by years of practice
There are only four distinct methods
of setting a diamond, though mount
ings are made which involve two or
mere of these methods The most COM
mon is the clamp, or claw, setting.
This comes to the setter with every
clamp as straight and square as fence
picket. He imbeds this mounting,
whatever it may be, III warm shellac
on the end of stick six inches OF
broom handle is generally used leaT-
ing the setting exposed. This coois
and holds the delicate pieces OF jew
elrv firm in all parts. He then, with a
thin file, sharpens all the clamps,
bringing them up 20 sharp points.
Then with a scraper or graver shaped
like chisel (all Of his cutting tools are
miniature chisels Of different shapes,
he digs out bearing or shoulder for
the edge of the stone on the inside OK
each clamp; he now, with pair OK
sharp-pointed pliers, bends the clamps
inward or outward as they happen to
- L. in 81
into the circle of clamps
Then the stone is pressed firmly down
| until the edge rests squarely on the
bearing of each clamp. This leaves the
edge of the clamps sticking up past the
! edge of the stone. The next step Is to
push all these ends over the edge and
| FURNISH them tight. A pushing tool Is
used for this, piece of soft steel about
| three inches long, filed to small square
end and fitted in a round handle.
| When the clamps are all firm in their
places they are bright-cut, as the term
| is. The clamps are trimmed to point
with three cuts, two on the sides and
one on the top. The setter cuts away
| from the stone, and must be careful
not to dig too deep into the gold, OF
he will push the whole clamp away
from the stone; then, TO make good
Job, the stone must come out and the
clamp be bent inward again. Some
| who manufacture the finest goods dc
not believe in bright-cutting clamps on
rings, as the sharp edges left are very
severe on gloves worn over them A
setter employed by these firms merely
files the clamp to point, and the pol
isher Bluffs it round on top when the
work gets its last finish.

A SACRED DUTY.

Every citizen of the United States has
election day comes This time the voters
of Utah have an unusually important
duty 70 discharge. The election of dele
gates to the constitutional convention
overshadows all other present issues.
On the composition of that convention
depends the kind of constitution which
the people of Utah will have for their
fundamental law. by which all other
laws in the state viii be regulated.
If ever there was a time when honest
men and wise men should be selected
and upheld, 1t is now and for this pur-
pose. 1t is q sacred task which is i'm
posed upon the voting citizens of Utah
They should enter upon it soberly and
solemniy. We draw their attention to
1t, this Sabbath day.
The tickets presented by the respec-
tive parties ought to be scanned If
there is name on either of a man who
has been placed there on any ground
but that Of fitness for the onerous
duties of a member of the convention
in which the state constitution will be
framed, his name ought to be scratched
and the name of fit man be substi-
tuted.
Do not vote for candidate who has
in view his own selfish interests or those
OF any clique, society, corporation or
company. Beware of the representa-
tives of any special class with selfish
ends to serve. Take care to support
men of tried integrity and known abil-
ity. with adaptability for the work to be
done. The interests of the entire peo-
pie have TO be guarded, the welfare oe
the whole body politic ought to be the

general election. Perform your task

THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES

Next Tuesday the people of Utah will
by their ballots, decide whether or not
they want Mr.. Rawlins, the present
Delegate and Democratic nominee for
reelection, to represent them in Con
gress. or Mr.. Cannon, the Republican
candidate for Delegate, to represent
them. The people elected Mr.. Rawlins
to do certain work ana because they
had faith in his ability to accomplish
it. He has accomplished the work and
justified their faith. Mr.. Rawlins has
been tried and proven. Against his
record nothing can be said. AS Dele
gate his whole study has been to repre-
sent the entire territory and to work
for the interests of all her people
irrespective of politics. No one will
deny this. Mr.. Rawlins is entitled to
the support of the people for the office
to which he has been nominated To
withdraw that support would be base
ingratitude.
Mr.. Cannon has done nothing upon
which to base a claim to the SURFACES
of the people. Two years ago he went
before the people asking for the same
olLlce nc HOW seeks. Inc Judgment OF
the people was against his candidacy
Since that time has Mr.. Cannon done
anything to demonstrate that he is
more fitted now than he was then to be
their Delegate in Congress? Does any
one, when calmly considering the situa-
ton, believe that he would look after
Utah's interest in Washington as we'll
as Mr.. Rawlins?
The voters should weigh these matters
well and then cast their ballots for the
man whom they honestly believe is
best fitted to further their welfare.

unemployed have had their hosts null
lip-ied at tremendously greater
ratio. If there were $500 millionaires
under Republican protection there
were 100000 tramps, while there were
none before Republicanism ruled, and
their numbers have increased much
faster than the number of millionaires.
The logical deduction, then, is that
instead of every man, woman and child
IN America becoming a millionaire, the
vast majority of men, women and
children in America, under the same
system of protection, would be-
come starving tramps, or at any rate
the serfs of the millionaires who gather
ed to themselves the riches of the land
while the masses of the people became
more and more impoverished.
And this is the kind of stuff that
''the little giant" pours forth. is it?
No wonder that when he is reported it
is in generalities that do not even have
the merit of being "glittering.' A fine
statesman such a Hgiant" in childish
gable would make. would he not?
And what grade of intellect is it that
greets such baby talk with deafening
applause?
Compare that sort of prattle from
the very, very little giant, with the
sound and economic arguments of the
peoples Delegate Joseph l.. RaWlins.
A rushlight to the sun. Christmas
candle to the effulgence of midday in
summer A nursery tale to the sayings
of sage! If the people would only
think, after hearing both sides and
both candidates, the majority OF the
present Delegates return would be SO
overwhelming that his opponents, VINO
is seeking the office with such hungry
pertinacity, would never be mentioned
again in contest with the man whom
the office seeks and who proved hlrn-
self the peer of his associates In the
Congress of the United States.

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

The Democratic party Of Utah stands
on its record and is willing to Be
judged by it. Two years ago when
the people elected a Democratic Dele
gate to Congress they did so on the
strength of the promises made them
and the expectation of their fulfilment.
Every promise then made has been full
filed in letter and in spirit.
The old issues in Utah having been
settled and the spirit of reconciliation
prevailing on all sides, what was the
chief desire of the people? It was that
they might have statehood conferred
upon them and assume that place
among the states of the Union to
which their numbers and intelligence
and the material wealth of the terri
tory entitled them. The enabling act
that will confer this upon Utah has
been passed and next Tuesday the peo-
pie will elect delegates to form the
state constitution.
The people wanted the Uintah and
Uncompahgre Indian reservations
thrown open to settlement. The law
providing Tor TINS mas oeen passed., ana
they will soon be opened.
The people did not want the Colo
RADIO Utes placed in Utah. And thanks
to the energy and watchfulness of the
Democratic Delegate they will not be
foisted upon Utah.
With the advent of changed con-
ditions in Utah the general SEN
timent of the community was
in favor of the return of the escheated
property to the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints and the Demo-
Gratis have returned it.
The Democratic party in Utah has
redeemed every pledge 1t has made to
the people and proven itself their
staunch friend. The people will show
that they appreciate this friendship.
