WELCOME TO THE KNIGHTS.

To THE THOUSANDS Of Knights
/ Templar who are leaving the east
and travelling toward the west, thereby
reversing a time-honored doctrine, The
Herald extends a most cordial welcome.
Il is not often that gentlemen Of their
order go west in search Of light. but
we feel sure they wiz find it, both in
salt Lake City, where many Of them
are sojourning. and in san Francisco.
where their trienniaI concIave is short
y TO be held.
There Is no better town in the Coun-
try than Salt Lake City, gentlemen.
This is on the square. We have more
good people in proportion 20 our popu-
IatIon, more points Of real interest.
more attractions and advantages than
any town you will touch in your trav-
els. You can disport yourselves on the
sands Of our inland sea where no tide
Gibbs or flows, you can visit our taber-
nacle and hear the music of our won-
derfuI organ. you can hear the pin
drop. you can see everything we have
that is worth seeing, and all wen ask
Of you is that you come again some
day.
We would attach to you a cable Of
strong affection. hoping that you may
ind it as binding as a Masonic oDlt-
cation. as strong as the ties that hold
your great brotherhood together.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-08-25


once To the telegraph ofFiee and left pos
tive Instructions that under no eireum-
stances was he to be nluIeted again in
such fashion Hereafter an messages
must be teIephoned. ana If the tele-
phone line is out Of order they are 10
be iield in the Office until IT Is in order
again.
Now 70 some. people it may seem that
Mr. Rockefeller was wrong in letting
himself get all worked up over that
dollar. we must not be too hard on
The young man. Let US strive 10 re-
member that the young man is the
owner, actually and presumptively, Of
only four or FIVE hundred million dol
lars It is true that he could give
dollar 10 every messenger boy in the
entire state Of New York without seri-
ously impairing his income. to say
nothing of his capital. but he isn't go
ing TO do anything of the sort.
AEr. Rockefeller has been taught to
take care Of his dollars. If he didn't,
make a protest at giving mp one of
them people might get the idea that he
is easy TO separate from his money.
There Is no telling where the thing
would end. With a dollar thrown away
here and another dollar there Mr..
Rockefeller might soon be throwing
away as much as three dollars week
II every young man who has no more
money than John Jr. would take the
stand he has taken there would be
wen. there would be a good deal less
happiness in the world.

Associated with him are c. D. Van
Duser for congress. Judge H. F. r.
Bartine for the supreme court, ". J.
Gree and Emmett Boyle for regep-
cfes, and 4. ". Hesson. Zeb Kendall
and L. ". Clarke for the electoral

Ms. RocKEFELLER's ECONOMY.

John .. ROCkEFELLER, JR., has
again demonstrated his ability TO
take care of the paternal millions
whenever. in the course Of nature, they
are placed at his disposal. The latest
evidence Of the young mans thrift IS
found in the fuss he made over the
payment OF a large sum. tO-wit. one
dollar. for the delivery Of a telegram.
Air Rockefeller. was absent from his
country home near Tarrytown. n Y,
when the telegram came the othe- day.
The telegraph Office is three miles from

ToDAY's CONVENTION.

n EMOCRATS can afford TO look with
IL equanimity on the performance
that is scheduled for today in the Salt
Lake theatre. There used to be a say
ing that Republican aght only pro-
6uced more Republicans. The author
of that assertion would have had Oc-
casion to revise it if he had been in
Salt Lake City last fall The Repub-
lieans had a mighty lively tight in
their convention. And It produced a
large assemblage OF Democrats who
everlastingly voted the Republican
nominees into a continuance of private
life
On the face Of the returns either Mr..
Cutler, Mr. Wells or Mr.. Hammond
win be nominated for governor by the
Republicans today. There isn't much
chance for a dark horse. None of the
three candidates seems strong enough

now seems likely that several ballots

reached. From the standpoint of the
unprejudiced onIooker it is anybOdy's
race. Therefore the pulling and haul

For its part The Herald cares very
little who is nominated today. We
propose 10 do all we can to beat either
Mr. Cutler, Mr.. Wells or Mr.. Ham
mond with the Democratic nominee
Tor the governorship. And q beating
for the Republican nominee is not so
far outside the range OF probability as
some of our Republican friends pro
ass to believe. The chances are de
cidedly that the gentlemen who are
beaten today. and at least two Of them
are sure to be beaten, viii be very
thankful that the delegates chose the
other fellow. They viii thus be saved
great expense, anxiety, disappOint-
ment.
They viii be in the position Of the
fellow Who, in the great American
game Of poker. draws to a flush or a
straight and then. when ne is begin
ming to curse his luck rOundly fer not
making it, finds that his opponent has
made a higher flush or straight Bad
fortune sometimes becomes good for,

Whoever wins today, there is going
TO be come soreness, some grievous
heart burnings. some charges and
counter charges Of treachery and bad
faith. From all of which we are able

gentlemen.
