A wedding at any time is mat

through the years that follow truly

OF such wedding I tell you this

and Mary Love Steele.
Colonel Grisham was a mill owner
and merchant at West Union, S. c.,
nine miles north of Pickcns Court
house, and his wife was the daughter
of William and Esther Steele.
The groom was Joseph E.. Brown,
young lawyer who had moved
from South Carolina to Georgia,
taught school and was admitted to
the bar at Canton, Ga, and after
attending Yale school he visited his
sister, near West Union, about
Christmas, 1916, and met his wife,
while spending the night at her faith
er's house. The next July he re-
turned to claim her. do not SUP

BEAUTIFUL LOGAN.

On another page Of today's Herald
is published an article from staff
correspondent concerning Logan, the
temple city of the north. This is one
of the prettiest Of all the lovely towns
for which the intermountain valleys
are celebrated.
Located at the mouth of one of the
finest canyons n all Utah. on the east
ern rim of an emerald basin, it over
looks a landscape whose beauty is at
once an inspiration and a defiance to
the artist.
Logan has an ideal location. The
towering hills protect her from winter
winds and store the cold to temper
summers heat. The never-failing
rivers from the everlasting SHOWS
course past the city and thread their
ways across the verdant floor of the
valley, fringed with trees and rich
with golden harvests coined in the
mint of irrigation.
Prosperous, beautiful and happy, the
municipal queen of this agricultural

THE rHIRrlETH ANNIVERSARY

Thirty years ago. on the first Sun
day in June. 1870, The Herald began
its career as a newspaper. A splendid
reproduction Of the first page of the
initial number is printed on the first
page Of this issue. as an Illustration
of the progress made and the growth
OF the publication in three decades.
The Herald was a live, progressive
paper then, abreast of the times and
a credit to the state. That it has kept
pace with progress, with the growth
and development Of Titan. is amply
attested by the character and size of
its list of patrons.
When The Herald was Launched on
the sea Of journalism" as they say
at press club banduets. the common
wealth was in its youth, the transcon-
tinental road had just been completed,
agriculture was the only industry
worth mentioning, mining was in its
infancy, the population was sparse
and scattered, news was scarce and
advertisers were coy. The Herald has
witnessed a great change in Utah, has
recorded every incident and comment
ed FROM time to time upon every fea-
ture Of that change.
Utah has grown TO be one of the
favored spots of the Union. a member
of which it has become. 1t has de-
veloped some of the greatest mines OF
the world It ranks among the lead
ing metal producers of the United
States. excels them all in the variety
and number of mineral deposits, is
famed for its summer resorts and re-
spected for the industry and honesty
of its people.
In placing these evidences Of Utah's
growth and grandeur before the world
in calling attention to the resources Of
the region and the advantages of liv-
ing among these mountains and in
these valleys, The Herald is entitled
to some credit and the people of the
state are not slow to accord it.
The Herald proposes to continue tC
advertise the beauties and resources
OF this commonwealth, TO call attention
TO the possibilities nature holds out tc
labor and to capital. to convince the
world that Utah has been misrepre-
sented by her maligners and that
this section is something besides q
storm center.
Utah has made rapid progress in
thirty years and The Herald has grown
with it Utah viii continue TO grow
and to encourage and help it is tht
aim and policy Of The Herald.

and hide the facts which justice would
uncover.
That is the judge of the peoples
mind and heart. There are some such
judges on the bench in Utah now, in
this district and in others. When the
people find judicial officers OF this char
acter they should hesitate about max
ing a change. They should not COM
pei q good judge to get into politics to
claim their Endorsement. They should
not make it necessary for an aspirant
to the bench to surrender his indie
pendence. that prime essential Of an
able Judiciary, to the heelers and trick
sters of a party organization, to OBJ
tain recognition.
In selecting judicial candidates ii is
the duty of every Democrat to select
men for whom any voter, regardless
of party affiliations. may conscientious
ly cast a ballot.
In judicial campaigns the public will
forget ties of partisanship.
In voting for judges only fool is
a partisan.

NEWSPAPER ILLUSTRATION

One of the features Of The Herald
today, and something which distin-
cuisines it from any other newspaper
printed in the intermountain region, is
its pictures. The successful use of
half-tone engravings. exact reproduc-
tons Of photographs, made in The
Herald building and by Herald en-
ployees. indicates the progress of jour
naHsm in this country and shows the
rapid pace this paper has set for west
ern contemporaries. Others print half
tones made by eastern engravers, and
still others make no effort whatever to
keep up with the procession. But The
Herald is making and printing half
tone pictuTes-an achievement of which
few newspapers in the country can
boast.
Newspaper illustrations represent ev-
olution, progress. enterprise. They
have already created new field of
education. They have extended the
use of the daily press as 1t never could
have been extended otherwise. fThere
is a constant struggle between the
magazines ard the newspapers-the
educator Of he old and of the new
schools. The monthly, the weekly or
the daily which tenaciously clings to
the methods and prices of twenty
years ago is doomed It cannot sur
vive the art of the camera. People
want pictures, printed pictures, illus
trated articles, and when they get good
pictures and find them cheap they
would rather have them than the ordi-
nary reading matter. They are right
about it. Life is short and it is often
possible to get better idea of the
subject treated by looking at pictures
while reading an article than by ask
ing a hundred questions Of those who
have visited the scenes. Then the
absolute fidelity Of the camera and the
half-tone print is a confederation of
an article none may dispute.
Another argument in favor of up-to-
date journalism is that the normal
mind never outgrows the love for pic
lures, which is a characteristic of
childhood. Children are always eager
for pictures, even before they are able
TO comprehend their meaning. With
out illustrations our schoolbooks would
be dry indeed and twice as hard to
master. And it makes no difference
what the age. nor how great the men,
tai capacity, an idea represented in a
picture is better presented than in any
/ other way, and interest in a descrip-
tive article is almost invariably dou-
/ bled by accompanying illustrations.
Newspaper pictures are already a
great power and they are destined to
! play a more important part in the ed
ucation of the reading public. The
science which brought them out will
/ do more for them And as usual, The
/ Herald will lead the van with all that
public interest demands and popular
/ taste approves.
