THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The Chamber of Commerce in this
city is an important organization. 1t
has already accomplished a great deal
OF good. 1t is now an established in
stitution. 1t is an integral part of the
business body 1t should be kept in
vigorous and active life and command
the energies and spirited support of all
it's members.
The meeting on Thursday night was
an event in its history. The reports of
the President and Secretary will
be found in fun in another part of this
issue of The Herald. They should be
read and reflected upon by the entire
business community. They furnish
much valuable information on the re-
sources, capabilities and prospects Of
Utah, and offer practical suggestions
for future use, as we'll as an epitome
of what the Chamber has accomplished
in the past
There never was a time since its COM
n1encement when the Chamber was so
necessary as now to the progress of
this city and territory. While we would
hesitate to say Salt Lake is Utah, we
do say that whatever affects this city
affects the whole territory, and there
can be no welfare of Utah without the
welfare of Salt Lake.
The entrance of Utah into the Union
as a State will add very greatly to
her importance and should largely in
crease her commerce. Capital will be
induced to flow into the new State
and will seek judicious investment.
The opening of the reservations to set
element will increase our population
as we'll as our material resources. The
utilization of water powers of which
there are an abundance, will add TO
the means of establishing manufac-
tories and supplying light and heat for
public and private purposes. The open
| ing of new railroads will aid in de-
veloping our mining interests and IA
cilitating intercourse and traffic. All
these and other pending improvements
will give opportunity for the Chamber
Of Commerce to WELD an influence for
greater good than ever.
! More attention than heretofore ought
to be paid to this valuable institution,
and means ought to be at its COM
mand not only 10 prepare and circu-
late literature, giving the facts Of our
resources and social and business con-
ditions, but to draw into the new State
that class of people who will contrib
ute to its enrichment and progress,
rather than form an additional burden
for the commonwealth to bear.
By supporting the Chamber in its
work and giving it that encourage
ment and financial help which is neces-
sary to its full usefulness, the bust
ness men of this city will be further
ing their own interests. and will reap
good returns from the small investment
which the time and money devoted to
this purpose demands of them Let the
Salt Lake Chamber Of Commerce be put
and kept on a solid basis. and endowed
with such forces that it may take its
place among the leading commercial es-
Establishments of the United States!

The Tribune editor is in one of his
periodical rampages. Over about half
a-aozen lines of note in The Herald,
he fumes and frets. and pours out in
dignation and fury, but in the midst of
it all he virtually admits the very
ching he tries to combat. Starting out
to defend the Republican party he ack-
nowledges, after all, that the party
IS Sin disgrace" that it does not meet
the expectation OF the country "and
that as neither the Democrats nor the
populists are any better, tens of thou
sands are looking for new light "
The Tribune is both funny and feeble.
1t begins with a snarl and ends with
a dirge. 1t is in bad way.

That devout citizen, Rev. Charles
Crane, introduced Frank Cannon to a
Republican crowd in the late unpleas-
antness as the "most fittest" man for
the delegateship. A prominent Repub-
sican politician spoke of it yesterday
as a sample of what Gov. Crane could
10 when really tried in the way of
anutiIating the rules of language. A
Democrat rendered meek, lowly and
charitable by recent adversely sug-
gested that Shakespeare used such
language, to which the prominent poll
4ician ungenerously replied that he
never said such things about Frank
Cannon. This was truly the most un-
kindest cut Of all.

Poor fellow, he's married now;
And life is a serious thing ito him,
For he lives by the sweat of his brow.
And the cares of a family weigh min

And he slaves to run the house;
Why, Jim was the gayest boy in town,
And III bet hes poor as mouse!
And because he looked so worn and sad
I tried whenever we met
To talk of the good old times we'd had,
In hopes that he might forget
Till 1 said I was living at the club;
Then felt a deep chagrin;
Lest he Should think l was trying to rut
His misery further in.
But he exclaimed: 'oThat's a horrible
life!

No quiet home and the loving Wife
