WESTERN EDITORIAL FEDERATION

Through the efforts of a few gentle
men connected with the Utah Press
association, to whom much praise is
due for their untiring labors, the con-
vention of western editors has been a
marked success. Most of the trans
Mississippi states sent delegations. A
federation with official machinery has
been launched and Denver selected as
the next place of meeting. The states
of the west and southwest are bound
together by a community of interest.
Those considerations that make
Mississippi and irrigation con-
crosses important render important in
a greater degree that transit Mississippi
editors should federate in order to as
sist with the invincible power of the
press in the accomplishment of COM
mon purposes. The free coinage of
silver, irrigation, the construction of
the Nicaragua canal, the improve
ment of the gulf harbors, the inter
state regulation Of the railroads, min
ing, land and timber laws, on all these
and other subjects the west and south,
west will speak with a voice more
practically unanimous.
The organization just perfected will
lead to a better mutual understanding
and from this will proceed a united de-
mand for the recognition of rights and
the redress of wrongs. For these rea-
sons the west may congratulate itself
upon the Federation
For other reasons, the organization
will prove valuable to the western
press itself. Conventions will be held
from year to year in which papers of
value will be read and discussed touch
ing questions of interest to newspaper
men, and from which the wide awake
delegate will return to his tripod and
to his community with many new
ideas that will not only be advanta-
geous to his paper but useful to his
readers. It is the purpose of the lead
ing members of the Federation to make
it an organization strictly for business
and to be careful under all circum-
stances to subordinate the junketing
features of it's conventions to the
educational objects to be accomplished.
By this means alone will the success
and perpetuation of the association be
accomplished. Without this, its con-
ventions will be without advantage to
its members and will fail to command
that respect which any we'll directed
effort of the press must command in
government Of the people.

THE LAST DAY.

Today will close the present registra-
ton. Every voter should be sure that
his name is enrolled on the list. Those
citizens who are entitled to register
and who have not yet performed that
duty, should make up for lost time
by attending to it today. There will
be one week in September in which
corrections can be made and omissions
be rectified, and that will be the last
chance to secure the right to vote at
the November election, the most i'm
portant in Utahs history up to that
date. 1t is strange how many people
who would make a great cutlery if de-
prived of the elective franchise, yet re-
main Indifferent as to the exercise Of
that inestimable privilege. A citizen
who will not attend to the simple mat
ter of registration is unfit for the
voters power and ought by rights to
be debarred from the suffrage after re-
peated neglect or refusal to perform
his duty. Remember. this is the last
day Of the present registration. Let
all Iaggards rush to the registrars Of
flee on State street and do their duty
before night!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-31
ToDAY,s CONVENTION.

The convention to be held today will
be of great Importance to the Demo-
cratic party of Utah. This is the
largest, wealthiest and strongest
county in the territory and contains
more Democrats than any other.
Upon the action st shall take today will
largely depend the constitution and
proceedings of the state convention to
be held on the 5th prox. The same
may be said as to the judicial district
convention which is to be held in this
city September II.
Only good and sensible men Should
be chosen as delegates to those con-
Ventions. There are many. no doubt,
in all parts Of the county. But the
mere claims OF locality should be made
subordinate to the welfare of the party
and Of the territory. Men of brains,
experience and wisdom should be
selected to represent Salt Lake County
at the state and judicial conventions.
The proceedings today should be
conducted with calmness and delibera-
ton. Whatever is done should receive
due consideration. Boisterous enthusi-
asm may be all very we'll when a popu-
lar choice is made or question decided.
But nothing should be rushed through
on the wild waves of sudden excite
ment, by whatever means produced.
In the presence of the grave considera-
tions that confront the party, no pet
project or personal scheme ought to
find favor so as to carry the convention
off its feet, which should be firmly
planted on solid ground.
The most available men should be
nominated for the state legislature and
for city and county superintendent of
schools. In this work the public well
fare and the probability of success
should be held far above all personal
and sectional considerations.
We look for harmony and promptness
in the work of the convention. Dis
patch does not mean unseemly haste,
order does not imply suppression of in
dividuaI freedom of opinion. The
work to be done should be performed
without dilatory delay, and every dele
gate should do his best to make it
complete and such as the masses of the
people will approve. Delegates, the
Democratic party will expect of you
splendid list of delegates, judicious
choice of strong candidates, and wise
action on every question you will be
called upon to decide.

B1orcL1srs' RIGHTS ON THE ROAD

In New York the other day lady BIZ
her wheel. Then she brought suit
against the teamster for damages to
person and wheel. She had rung her
bicycle bell to notify him that she was
coming, that he might get out Of the
way; but he did not get out Of the
way and collision was the conse-
quence.
There is no law giving the right Of
way to bicycles any more than to any
other vehicle. The right of way that
a train or a street car has is not an
analogous case; neither is the right Of
way that fire engines and trucks going
to a fire have, or police patrol wagon
when hurrying to the scene of disturb
ance; nor of coach or stage convey
ing the United States mails. The
rights of a bicycle, it having been de-
cided in number of cases in different
states that a bicycle is a vehicle, are
those of any other vehicle. It's
character being taken into considera-
ton; no greater, no less. The driver
of rapidly moving vehicle cannot ex-
pect a sloW-moving, heavily laden
wagon or dray to move to the right
when meeting, with the same celebrity
as he can. But the heavily laden team
has no right to keep all the road caus-
ing annoyance and perhaps danger to
the lighter rig. Too often the boor and
the bully crops out in the teamster
who knows that his wagon can crush
the light buggy or spring wagon.
1t will be found that the law of the
road accords we'll with common sense
and a willingness on the part of either
party to give as much of the road as
the circumstances of the case and the
character of the vehicles and their
loads will permit. And this will apply
to the bicycle.
No bicyclist with a proper apprecia-
ton of his own rights will assume that
they are greater than Others Those
who assume that they are greater than
Others, are very apt to be young and
Inexperienced; and if not of this class,
they are those who are disagreeable
and assuming in all walks of life
The New York young lady bfcyclist
who ran into wagon and then sued
for damages would be very likely to
bring a suit for breach of promise
against a young man for not proposing
marriage.

GENERAL GRANTS TOMB.

1t is ten years since General Grant
was buried with imposing ceremonies.
His remains We're placed in a series of
collins that would seem to guarantee
them against the work of any vandals,
should any desire to disturb them.
But precautions in addition to these
were taken that the Generals tomb
should not be molested. Two guards
watch it by night and day. The sup
posed necessity for such precaution
has passed long ago. The tomb of no
other public man in all the country is
SO watched. Those of Washington
Jefferson. Jackson, Lincoln, and others
whose names will readily suggest
themselves, are not SO guarded. All
these names are dear and sacred to the
American people the same as General
Grants is, yet their tomlbs are un-
guarded and are free from danger
Grant was a man Of simple habits and
without any ostentation, and the
guarding of his tomb a decade after
his death is in strange contrast with
his character.
