THE HERALD'S SUGGESTION
APPROVED.
THE

We have received the following from
Secretary Rognon of the Utah Semi
Centennial Commission:
Utah Semi-Centennial Commission.
Salt Lake City, April 8.
Editor Herald, City:
Dear Sir-I am requested by the COM
mission to thank you for the sug-
gestions contained in your editorial
yesterday morning, and to say that we
consider them most excellent and that
they will be given careful attention.
Please allow me to correct the i'm
preston YOU seem to have that the
commission has definitely determined
upon any part of the programme. A
skeleton programme was reported by
one of our subcommittee and is now
being discussed at each of our meetings,
but nothing has yet been definitely de-
termined upon.
We shall be glad at any time to re-
ceive suggestions through your valua-
bic paper from yourself or from others
interested in the success of the coming
celebration,
Yours truly,
ERNEST G. ROGNON, Secretary.
The suggestions made by The Herald
were that there should be part of at
least one day of the celebration devoted
to the reading of historical papers by
those who We're the makers of Utah's
early history, and that these papers
should be filed away. They have met
with the approval of the commission
and will doubtless be acted upon. The
members of the commission are exceed
ingly busy and any suggestions in aid
of the celebration will be gladly re-
ceived by them. They are working for
the public and the public should fur
Their their efforts in every direction. If
every one in Utah will take an interest
in the celebrate as every one in
Utah should take an interest in it, it's
success will be assured. In holding up
the hands of the commission the glory
of Utah viii be upheld.

A DISGUISED sUFFRAG1sT.


Miss Phoebe Cousins is disguised
with woman suffrage. that is, Disguised
with the attempt to secure it, for she
has never had it. She says that three
! times she has seen women under fire,
and as many times she has seen them
fall, and that ignominiously. The vast
majority of women prefer the quiet of
| domestic life while man by nature
seeks the conflicts of the outer world
says. Woman in public life never proves
| satisfactory; there are limitations that
prescribe her success. Woman is nat
urally a homekeeper, and Miss Cousins
would advise all young women to
marry and become homekeepers
Twenty years ago /, with other new
converts, believed that suffrage for
women would prove a panacea for ali
of the evils of politics l have come to
the conclusion that women are no bet
ter than men. 1 find they are about
equally balanced; that there are as
many good women as men in the world,
and no more
1t may be that it is never too late
to mend but we fancy that in Miss
Cousins case the rule will not hold
She was foolish to ever think that fe-
male suffrage was a paracea for the
evils of politics when it is remembered
that politics is nothing but the man
agement Of the affairs of state Even
if it were possible to cure all the po-
litical evils that exist today there
would be new ones springing up to-
morrow. Any who expect that the in
fiuence of women in politics will be to
absolutely purify it are dreamers who
fail to pay proper heed to the teach
ings of experience.
1t is very evident that Miss Cousins
is a disappointed woman, and the dis
appointed person, man or woman, is
not the one to pronounce an impartial
judgment on any matter wherein he
has been disappointed. She says:
We talk Of the evils that come with
the introduction of women from the
Sums into politics. There is far more
danger to be found in women of high
social standing, of moneyed influence
and of power Of trickery. Such women
have more wide-reaching and demon
allZlnS influence than have the unfor-
tunate women of the slums
Today the National Suffrage associa-
ton has lost the prestige it enjoyed
when on a strong national basis. It is
now properly known as the Anthony
Shaw ring. Susan B. Anthony and
Anna Shaw, who run about talking of
holding Aunt Susans bonnet Rachel
Foster Avery and Carrie Chapman
Gait, comprise the officers year in and
year out, and run the organization to
the exclusion of everyone else
There is plainly observable in that
the note Of. discord and disappointment.
In every cause there are many who |
become disheartened, who weary of the |
struggle, and wearying of it long for |
the peace of the time before they
began it. But the cause goes on and
there are always new workers to take
the places of those who fall by the
wayside. Miss Cousins has wearied
but the cause of woman suffrage has
the same merit in ii that it always
had; and it goes marching along.

With this issue The Herald resumes
relations with the Associated Press. It
has always been the purpose of The
Herald to supply its patrons with the
ve-w best news service available. and
it is in harmony with this desire that
we again resume publishing the As
ISOLATED Press news report. The fail
IRE of the United Press left The Her
aid without a Geographic news service,
hence it was but natural that the very
best available news report should be
sought Cor orr patrons.
In this connection it may be well to
announce that every effort will be
made to keep The Herald in the van
guard of Journalism in this inter-
mountain country. It shall have no su-
periors and few if any equals.

The San Fra rcisco Chronicle remarks
that the mining boom at Yuma may
attract good many dissatisfied peo-
pie, but any one is foolish to join it
unless he has fair grub stake and
knows something about minerals. The
fellows who rush to Yuma expecting
to get work in developing mines and
incidentally to locate some valuable
properties for themselves will be as
surely disappointed as were those who
followed the first rush to Randsburg
on the Mojave desert. Yuma is not
quite so bad a place for the I'M
employed as Randsburg, because there
is railroad track leading east and
west by which the man who is broke
may tramp to better pastures; but it
is not place which one would recon-
mend to the laboring man out of job.
Nor is the climate one which can be
praised except during midwinter. The
mercury at this season mounts into
the nineties. and it; keeps on mounting
as summer approaches until life be-
comes a burden.

as to how the threatened exhibition of

that the more his undertaking gets

office. The efforts of some of the legis-
lators to suppress this undertaking
have been particularly pleasing to its
managers, and have saved them good
deal of money that might otherwise
have been spent for advertising pur-
poses. The managers are still working

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Denver Republican: The attention
which Mr.. Bryan attracts wherever he
goes shows that he is still very popular
with the masses of the people. He is
recognized as great silver leader. Thus
far circumstances have sustained his pre-
dictions and consequently he must be
gaining in public confidence The gold
standard advocates will have to bring
about q revival of business in some WaY
between this and the next presidential
election. or they will be overwhelmingly
defeated, and Mr.. Bryan may be then, as
he was last year, the leader of the silver
forces.

Yesterday, as Mr.. George Rogers, wife

through a piece Of Woodland, she
came upon gang Of negroes playing
