Weaving as Occupation for Women.

From American homes Shu AiHRofhS.
OF late years there has been general
demand for homemade rag rugs not only
for the bedrooms but for piazzas and bath
rooms. These are most serviceable, as they
can be washed many times, and are strong
enough TO stand good deal of hard wear,
The difference between the rugs Of today
and long ago IS that new material is now
used. instead OF old. and care Is taken in
using materials OF the same weight in the
same rug An old-fashioned rag carpet
was usually made OF soft muslin, or harsh
nrInts or dingy Innings, sewn together in
q "haphazard way. so that the carpet
presented an uneven homemade appear
ance which is thought to be somewhat
slovenly today.
There Is no end to the number OF mate
rails which can be used in making the rugs.
Lawns, percales. prints, cretonnes ducks,
denirus sateens. cotton haunels and rowing
yarn give a range OF material and color
ings large enough 10 suit any colored room.

Mrs. W. L. Wilson, one of the most gifted
and talented of the local singers of Wash
lngton. who has lived the past two years
in Atlanta. Ga, where her husbands JIsi-
ness interests led him, has made quite
sensation in the mana cement of New York
Metropolitan opera circles. BY the merest
accident teacher in the Metropolitan OPP
era School heard her sing during a visit
last month to a pupil, with the result that
instead OF eKtravagant words of praise,
the teacher handed her a little card with
a few words written upon it. and asked her
to step across the hall and hand 1t to Mr.
Conreid. She did so and at his request
went into the great opera house TO sing
for him. 1t was most interesting occa-
sion when she stepped on the great stage
before the audience of one. hidden away
in the darkness of the vast auditorium.
Mrs. Wilson had with her an aria with
which she made several brilliant hits in con-
rert in this city, ocean. Thou Mighty
Monster" from Won Webers "Oberon. :"
This she sang with piano accompaniment
played by one of the opera accompanies
At the end OF the aria Mr.. Conreid made
her the offer then and there of free
scholarship. with the advantages of voice
culture. dramatic art, repertoire and Ian
guages, with free tickets and rehearsal
cards for the opera, and at the end of the
course of study she is to have a Finish"
In Europe, IL she elects to go into the opera.
Mrs Wilson has only just decided to accept
this wonderful good luck. and has returned
to Atlanta to make her arrangements
for leaving there. Mrs. Wilson was for

known here both unsteady and socially

flcial character as the investigation
would be that is now proposed by the
Salt Lake County Horticultural Society.
Certainly 1t is time that a real practi-
cal, scientific, and Official investigation
of this matter were made. The subject
is of the highest Importance The
smelter men are being mulcted In dam

the farmers OF the destruction OF their
crops by smelter smoke and fumes.
The farmers claim total destruction Of
their crops. In many cases. the smelter
men reply. the farmers first market
their crops, get good prices for them,
and then compel a second marketing
from the smelter men on the pretense
that these same crops We're totally de-
stroyed. The problem should not be
left in this unsettled condition. Let
us have the investigation-oflicial and
thorough-by the Department of Agri-
culture, as proposed.
Since. however. Congress is about TO
adjourn. and since the matter might

delegation, we suggest 10 the society
that II communicate direct with the
Department OF Agriculture, asking FOR
this investigation. We believe that the
Department will comply at once, and
that the Investigation could be made

THE NEW STATE.

Utah is no longer the youngest State
IN the Union. That is to say, this Will
be so when the usual routine Is com.
pleted. The bill admitting Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as a combined
State was signed by the President on
Saturday. This bill as to these two
Territories does not contain the pro-
vision which is carried with respect to
Arizona and New Mexico, that the peo-
pie Of each present Territory must vote
atflrmatively for the Statehood pro-
posed or else the Joint Statehood fails:
but as to oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory the admission is absolute with
out submission to the people except
as the Constitution to be adopted and
the State officers to be chosen Will be
submitted to the people as was done
In the case Of Utah
1T Is not likely that these routine
forms can be completed before next
year The probability is that about
next January the President will be
able 70 issue his proclamation declar-
MS '''' 'l ohldnOIDd as "a
new State In the Union, and on the
Fourth Of July thereafter a new star
Will be added in the field of the flag
for that new State, and the constella-
ton will then number forty-slx
The new State will start with a pop
ulation larger than any other State
ever had on Its admission into the
Union The inhabit5nts will number
fully a million. and viii be entitled to
at least five Representatives in Con-
gress. Oklahoma Will be a large, rich,
populous, energetic and thriving State
1t will be 4 credit to the Union. and
will rank we'll UP In the list Of States
I'm whatever test may be applied. save
only one-that of mining. In all the
ordinary resources and business enter
prlscs, Oklahoma will be the peer OF
any average State. and will soon be
counted among the greatest Of the
States west of the Mississippi river
The new star In the field of the stan
dard will shine as brightly rs that OF
any of the older States, and presently
Will eclipse many which have been
shining much longer.

FOR SEE AMERICA FIRST =

We find, In n New York contempo-
way service and charges which are
important In the See America First
movement, (By the way, what has be-
come of that movement Very little
has been heard of it for some months.
and 1t Is time It were once moro
pressed upon the public attention. This
Is the season for outings, for vaca-
tions, and for tourist trips Of all kinds.
The "See America" movement ought to
be strictly in the swim at this time,
and ought to be held up to the public
gaze with such prominence that 1t can
not be overlooked.)
But returning to the matter first
spoken of, the comparison of railroad
service and rates Is very favorable to
the United States. The quality of SER
vice OF course is better in this country
than in Europe. And in Europe the
rates Of fare are In every case higher
than in the United States. The COM
parison is made Of the trip. for in
stance. from New York TO Denver.
1871 miles, with the trip from Paris to
Constantinople, 1915 miles. The first
class fare, Including sleeping car, Is in
the United States, s59.75; and Europe,
S75.O3 on the trip from Chicago TO
Fort Worth, 1109 miles, the fare with
sleeping-car service is $32 40: while the
trip from Paris to Budapest. 1924 miles,
is S47,47. Shorter trips are also taken
up and compared, with the result fav-
orable IN every instance to this coun-
try.
Now 1t seems to us that that is
favorable argument In support OF the
See America First" movement. II 1t
is true. as It seems to be. that Amerl-
cans can travel cheaper In their own
country than they can In Europe. there
would appear 10 be no reason why
America should not become the FASH
ionable touring ground for the Eastern
States. To be sure, the Atlantic trip is
very much cheaper mile for mile than
any trip In the interior. but once the

the leading points in the case, con-
cludes against Mr., Smoot in these
| words;
| 1t Ia In the argument that because
| Mormons prior to the act Of 1890 had
| polygamous families and must con-
| tinue to support them. that therefore
| IL Is conceded In Utah by Mormons and
| non-Mormons that the continuance OF
| polygamous relations in such cases Is
| justihable and necessary, that the NIL
| nority report takes its most remark
able shape. In the first place, It. might
| occur to unbiased minds that children
| born prior to 1880 might by this time
| be pretty we'll able TO support them
selves Next, while the support Of for
| mer families born under the old rela-
tions may justify living in tho same
house, the continuance OF the relations
which produce more polygamous chill
dren requires remarkable stretch of
laxlty TO be described as either justlfi-
able or necessary.
The popular demand for the cXclu-
sion of Smoot arises from the general
belief that he represents an organiza-
ton which quietly ignores It's pledge to
abolish polygamY Certainly the pro-
duction I'm the Senate or an argument
that, because men violated tho law
when they denied its validity, there
fore they are entitled to GO on riolat-
irg II dltsf theN nave acknowledged
its validity and promised to obeV It, is
not calculated to dlspel that belief.
II is remarkable fact that the
editorial comments which really show
any intelligent grasp of the subject
are uniformly against Mr.. Smoot and
his case. On the other hand, those
which support him do so on general
grounds which will not for one moment
bear investigation from the standpoint
OF one who fully understands all the
facts involved. These favorable COM
mcnts are superficial, generally ignor-
ing the real basis OF tho charge against
Mr. Smoot, and planting the Judgment
in his favor merely on the generalities
that he was legally elected and that
10 man ought to be prosecuted for his
religion. Needless TO say, that view
Of 1t Is not worthy of any considera-
ton whatever because the very things
pronounced against are the things
which have nothing to do with the
case. The intelligent judgment OF the
country Is unquestionably and almost
unanimously against Mr.. Smoot And
the urging OF supcrficialities and the
contention in favor OF common and
irrelevant platitudes cannot possibly
help him.
