State and Executive Commit
tees and County and Pre-
cinct Chairmen Included
in the Call.
MATTERS OF POLICY
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Fusion With Progressives,
Convention Date and Pur-
chase of a Newspaper
Among Them.

An official call was issued yesterday
by the state executive committee Of the
Democratic organization for confer
ence of the state Democracy to be held
at the hall of the Modern Woodmen of
America, Isl Main street, Salt Lake,
on the afternoon of April 4. The call
states that the meeting is to determine
"party policies,
The call summons all members of the
state committee, the executive commit
tee, the chairmen of the Democratic or
ganlZations in each county of the state,
and the Democratic chairman of each
precinct organization, to attend the con-
ference. The meeting is called for a
time when the conference railroad rates
will he in effect, which will make it ad-
vantageous for the committeeman to
attend the meeting.
The call makes no explanation of
what ''party policies the conference
will pass upon, but intimates that they
are of Importance. Specializing on the
"policies which will be under consid
GRAFTON at the conference leads promi-
nent Democrats TO the conclusion that
there are two questions of policy which
might properly come before the confer
ence. One is as to whether or not there
shall be fusion or combination with
the Progressives, and if SO on what
basis, and the other is as to the date of
the Democratic state convention.

Strong Fusion Sentiment.

The leading Democrats of Salt LAX
are undoubtedly strongly in favor O
a combination with the Progressives
Several Of the Democrats from othe
parts Of the state have also expressed
themselves as favorable to the fusiol
plan. If there is any opposition at al
TO the plan for fusion it Will probabl,
come from the country Democrats. Tn
only question there will be as to tn
consideration of fusion policy will b.
as to whether or not the Democrat
should make any declaration as earl
as this. Some Of the Democrats thinl
that they should not tie themselves VI
at present in a way that would rende
them helpless in the event OF circum
stances arising later that might rende
fusion undesirable.
At their conference held last montl
the Progressives limited strongly at fu
sion and one of the speakers openly ad
vocated it. They went so far as 10 con

sives Of all parties unite in opposition
to the reactionaries of all parties.

THE ONE GUIDE POST.

When the fathers reared the fabric
of their little republic here In the
new world wilderness, with the equal
ity Of men as it's foundation. there
was not a state anywhere which
rested on that principle. On the con-
trary, it was denied by every other
nation.
And 1t was not put in practise even
here until years after it had been
proclaimed as the ideal toward which
the infant republic was striving. There
was no political equality in any one
OF the 13 original states, and negro
slavery continued for 80 years to
mock the first principle Of the Declare
hon of independence. But it stood,
and 1t eve stands, as the guidepost
on our only path toward progress. We
have denied It and turned back; de.
cried it and stumbled. At every step
forward we have had to follow 1t, even
though 1t led US through four years OF

object to Suicide Theory.

Rapid City.-County Officials have
been investigating the death of Homer
Shank of Keystone, whose body was
found beside the road. According to
first reports the bullet, which caused
his death, was fired from behind, but
later evidence would seem to prove
that the bullet entered the left breast
and passed through the body. coming
out at the back. No motive for the
crime a be imagined, and no far no
clew has been found which might lead
to a solution of the mystery. Owing TO
the finding of a 80 caliber revolver
near the body the theory Of suicide
has been advanced, but the friends of
young Shank refuse to credit it, as it
Is known he was not the owner of such
a weaken, and besides they point to
the fact that he was to have been mar
ried on the day his body was found
and left his sweetheart's home al 10

A Tide of Misfortune,

GarretsOn.-Martin Munson, a well
known Garretson man, is convinced
that he Is the Jonah of South Dakota.
His wife was taken to a Sioux Falls
hospital, where she was operated on
for appendicitis and a bad tumor. 4
small tornado struck his farm near
town and caused a great deal of dam
age to the buildings. One of his chill
dren, who is being looked after by
friends while the wife and mother is
in the hospital, has developed a severe
case of diphtheria. He telegraphed for
a supply of anti-toXin and between $65
and $40 worth vas given to the child
and others who had been exposed.
Munson now is hoping he is through
with sickness and disaster for a time

The world looks upon the United
States as a p]recocious stripping, and
we ourselves feel that Young Ameica
Is but a boy, though a big one, in
the family Of nations. AS a national
lty it is true ours is in its salad days
beside the aged nationalities of Eu-
rope.
In another sense, however, we are
the elder brother Of them all. The
edifice of our government, young as 1t
Is, really has stood longer than any
other. 1t is in fact the oldest land
mark among the political institutions
Of the modern world. The frame

has been changed since ours was set
up in the last quarter Of the eigh-

Many changes are taking place In
house building. Not so many years ago
clothes closets were unusual, perhaps
only n bedroom in a house being

pile it up on the floor. People used
to say hat closets are not nice, that
they smell bad, which was true enough
in some houses and is today, but
housekeepers who know the value of
fresh air and cleanliness have no diff
ficulty in keeping a well-built house
clean in the out-of-the-way as
well as in the parlor. A lady asked
her new maid If she never swept un-

Sometimes a long, narrow house Is
preferred, and sometimes a house of
this shape is necessary because 1t
must fit a narrow lot.
This plan is 20 feet wide and 81
feet long. II contains six rooms and

is, the moun of material is small
when compared with the amount OF

long Railways, the stair is placed about
the center Of one side, which works
well on the first floor and is very con-

A splendid feature of this house Is
the big dining room, which will natu-
rally be used as a living room. Later,
perhaps, a summer kitchen will be
added and the kitchen used for a din
ing room. Even a more marked
change may be made by substituting
the new electrical cooking apparatus
which some people think is destined
to combine the kitchen and the din
ing room. In fact, at the present time
a good many families are making the
coffee on the dining table by means
of an electric heater.
