SEE AMERICA FIRST.

The Commercial club of Salt Lake
City has the honor of originating the
See America First" idea, and of put
ting the machinery in motion which
has caused the move to attain very
large proportions within a few months.
1t is a question in which the entire
United States is interested and par
ticularly the middle and Western
states for it is there that the things
are to be seen which are best worth
seeing. 1t is in the west that nature
is seen in her grandest and most
inspiring mood. The writer has seen
the loveliest scenery in the British
Isles, on the Rhine, Der Deuchen
Rhine, the glories of France and other
European countries; seen them not as
the tourist who rushes to the show
places, and covers as much ground as
possible in the least time possible sees
them, but as a resident or lingerer.
He has also seen considerable of
western America, including the CO.
lumbia river, the northwest, and the
northeast, and nothing he has seen in
Europe is so grand, grand is the
word, as this North American con-
tinent contains. It's grandeur and
magnificence needs only to be known
to turn a great many people of the
eastern states west, who now go to
Europe. The actual money which
those people spend in their travels is
enormous, but that, large as it is,
would be the least consideration in
the case of the western states, be-
cause people who can afford to travel
have means. If they came west they
would see the great possibilities of the
country. They would see the oppor-
tunities and would turn their capital
in that direction.
This "See America" proposition, II
carried along, will prove one of the
greatest factors in developing the lat
ent resources Of the west.
The interest taken in it so far au-
gurs well. The convention which has
just ended here was all that could be
desired, for movement only two or
three months old. 1t shows that the
western states are joining hands and
if they all pull together, great things
will be accomplished. The CONNER
cial club of Salt Lake and its enter
prising secretary, Fisher Harris, for
we believed he was the real originator
of the scheme, and certainly he has
done more than any other single in
dividual towards its furtherance, de-
serve great credit for what they have
accomplished and what, from all ap-
pearances, will be accomplished to-
wards the development of the golden
west.

COMMERCIAL CLUBS NEW
PRESIDENT.

The Commercial club showed ex-
cellent judgment in its selection OF
Charles A. Quigley for its president.
Mr.. Quigley is one of the most pro-
gressive business men we have and
is accustomed to make a success OF
anything he identifies himself with.
The club is a real live institution and
the new president may be depended
upon to do his part to keep it SO and
increase it's usefulness.

gressive nation is in every way desir-
able. The Inauguration of this new
train service is step in the right di-
rection and meets the needs of the
hour. 1t is typical of the tireless in
terest shown by the roads concerned
in the upbuilding of the great South
west, and will doubtless receive the
hearty encouragement and support of
the travelling public.
