THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION IN EARLY DAY UTAH

~ ECAUSE the early settlers of
~ Utah have holiday in July to
J commemorate the date when
their pioneer train emerged
from Emigration canyon into the val
lew, which was to become the home
and resting place much bitter COM
ment has been written,
Mostly It has charged neglect of the
earlier July date when tho nation has
a birthday to celebrate and with the
charge of this neglect has been
coupled charges of essential dis
loyalty.
That the people of earliest times in
Utah celebrated July 4, however, even
before the United States Constitution
was extended over this territory, is a
well known matter of record. July
4, 1850, the people made festival
day at the mouth Of Parleys cam
yon then known as Golden Pass this
being the day when teams first could
make their way into the valley
through that route a year later,
Black rock began It's career in fame
through the holding there of the first
outing, a big Fourth OF July celebra-
tion.
That the reverence for the Constl-
tuition did not begin with the power
of the government In this territory,
forcing thus such action through
policy, but preceded even the flag
among the people, Is well known to
those who know what nm important
part the Mormons assign TO the Con-
stitutlon In the economy both OF man
and Of his Creator
The early view Of this subject IS
presented in this article in the form
OF an Grafton delivered by Farley =

The IDEAL Holiday Is Discussed
According to Old and New School

"And, for that matter, does not a
woman need a change from her life
of routine nc less than a man from
his daily labors? 1t is quite true
that there are many women who In
their gentle way, full of generosity,
capable of any se~lf-sacriice, do not
protest against a husbands taking
his holiday by himself; they even
give encouragement to this plan,
which is rather the fashion of the
times. 1t is a very bad fashion. 1t
leads in the end to a great deal of
unhappiness. For what cause lies
behind the multitude Of unhappy
marriages that characterize the
present age? Is>it not that women
have been granted freedom without
being granted companionship? In
the fashionable world 1t almost
seems that those who IRE married
see the least Of each other.
ATf married people were as wise as
they should be they would permit
separation to enter into their lives ms
little as possible. Love grows by cul-
tivation, just ms surely as 1t dies
by neglect. And those who share
the burdens OF life should also
share its delights. As for the ideal
holiday, nothing il so Important as
this--that 1t should he passed I'm
the company of those we love-"

with him his camp, and partake of
the gypsy enjoyment of a journey
into some wild, uncivilized region?
Consider how small a part of a
mans life a woman enters into dur
ing the days devoted to labor. A
glimpse of him while he hurriedly
prepares to leave for his work and
then nothing more until he returns
at night. often fatigued, often pre-
occupied, often worried and fire.
quently with engagements hat take
him away again from his home. IL
a wife is not with her husband dur
ing his holidays then she does not
see him at his best; is deprived of
sharing with him the happiest mo-
ments of his life. Nor can one re-
member how little from day to day
husbands and wives see of each
other without wondering they do not
make greater efforts to lunch to-
gether in the middle of the day.
AS for the holidays, they should
be all sunshine. Consider the pleas
ure of planning them together be-
forehand, the merry hustle of
preparation, the excitement of the
start. The ideal holiday should be
spent out of doors. Let u happy
comrades rise by 6 o'clock and
breakfast and lunch and dine in
the open air. AS night falls we
will take leave of them as they walk
hand in hand-for they are lovers
still-in the dark shadows and
across the bright spaces of h
moonlight"
New School-"And your happy
overs would return home unutter-
ably bored. But how different il
they had been separated during the
vacation! They would meet with q
sense of refreshment and novelty
and delight. They would exchange
glances of admiration. They
would express their pleasure at
being again united in charming
speeches and compliments. And
having SO much to relate, so many
Inquiries to make of each other,
they would both talk together as
happy as children. They would
gain new experience and new ideas.
They would have made the most of
their brief holiday"
Old School-"But so far from be-
Ing bored, as you suggest, my cou-
pie would return from their holiday
together more in love with each
other than ever. Each annual holi-
day Is a new honeymoon. 1t should
be a time of simple delight, dis
tracted by no cares or worries or
responsibilities. Then If ever both
husband and wife should appear to
each other in the best light, full of
health, full of spirits. full of the
pleasures of life. If they are poor.
IL they have had to plan and to
save and to deny themselves, can
you imagine then that when the
holiday comes the husband should
goLhis way and the wife that a
- eat the husband should so and
tn vile remain behind3

TN a world devoted to work the
annual vacation is an important
institution. 1t is important re-
garded merely as a period of rest
and regeneration. But ii is impor-
TAM in another sense.
For hundreds and thousands of
persons the summe holiday is a
moment of freedom in a life of sub
lection to the demands of neces-
sity. 1t is the only time when they
are really their own masters.
The essential idea of a perfect
holiday is change. From this OBJ
vious statement there arose the fol-
lowing dialogue in which the no
lions of the old school and those of
III new school are represented; 1t
Is the holidays of those who are
married that will form the subject
under discussion.
New School-"A holiday should
provide changes not only from the
atmosphere of the office, but also
from the atmosphere of the home.
1t follows that the husband and the
wife should not go away together.
Old School-"Such an idea when
the circumstances are not eXcep-
tional would appear to be unthink-.
able. By all means in our power
let us counteract the tendency to
loosen the marriage ties; and, on
the contrary, do what we may to
encourage greater reverence for
them. Shall the husband go in one
direction and the wife in another?
Do you suppose that he should find
pleasure in meeting other women
and enjoying their society with a
freedom that would not be possible
under the very eyes of his wife;
that he should indulge, perhaps, in
the pleasant excitement of q harm
less flirtation?' AT the same time
is his wife to have similar liberty?
Such ideas are acceptable enough
in modern society; but among hon
est and self-respecting people they
are i~ntolerable."
New School-"But it is nonsense
that a man should be tied to his
wife's apron strings. A man cannot
keep pace with a woman's step
week after week. month after
month, year after year. Permit him,
at all events. to have his holidays
to himself. Let him go away If he
will with his man friends-to play
golf, to go or a walking tour, to
camp by the side of a lake, to rough
it in the wilds. His wife would be
only too glad to have him off her
hands"

otherwise If she loved him. Why
