Day in Ogden Canyon
and Lagoon.

which convened in annual session at the

Judge Thomas d. Lewis of the third
district court for the course he took In
connection with the Herald. Republican
in the contempt proceedings before him,
and from which decision an appeal
has been taken in the state supreme
court. The question came up on Il
resolution introduced by V. :. Peet at
the morning session of the association,
and after considerable discussion was
laid upon the table At the afternoon
session the question again came up on
the motion of d. p. Felt to take the
resolution from The table, which was
agreed to. An amendment was offered
| by Mr.. Felt, and after a discussion 1T
was defeated and the original resolu-
tion was again laid upon the Table, the
vote being l6 10 II. The resolution
was rs follows:
| Whereas. the constitution of the United
States. the constitution of the state OF
| Utah and the laws of the state, as well
as those OF custom and usage, for years.
| have guaranteed the freedom or the press
| and speech and
Whereas. a strike at the liberties Of
the people is an attempt at retroGres-
| sion from which even benlShted Russia
is now emerging. and an attempt to in
troducc star chamber methods into the
courts of Utah: therefore, be II
| Resolved, That it is the sense of news
papers OF Utah that Judge Thomas ID.
| Lewis be censured for his attempt to
abridge the freedom of the press. and
the Utah, Press association pledges Itself
| to use all proper means in its power to
! oppose such an infringement upon their
| liberties,
The amendment offered by Mr. Felt
struck out the third preamble and sub
stituted the following:
Whereas, IL appears that an attempt
has been launched to deprive the news
| paper OF its inalienable rights and to
coerce the press OF Utah; therefore. etc.
AS said above. there was spirited
discussion over the resolution, and it
was finally killed by laying it upon the
table.

Advertising Topic Discussed.
The principal topic discussed was the
question of advertising and the mat
ter of more uniform rates was debated
at length There was a unanlmity OF
sentiment that not only should the
rates be more uniform but that they
should he higher in most instances than
they now are, There was some viGor-
Gus talks upon the question.
John D. Giles of the GilesMcAl'ister
advertising agency Of Salt Lake was
present and when he was called upon
to speak upon advertising rates he
struck right out from the shoulder.
There was no mincing of words in his
talk, and this was literally true Of the
other speakers. The entire matter of ad.
vertising rates and the bettermcnt Of
. the country press was threshed out and
| finally the question was referred to a
, committee Of five who were empowered
to formulate rate sheet and submit the
same to the members of the association
