all. Whichever way it is sought to obtain publicity, the
fact must not be lost sight of that buster, brag and ex-
aggeration will not accomplish the desired result, but, in
the end, will do more to discredit a district than to help it.
The people who are to be interested to the extent of fur
nishing the money for the development and operation of
the prospects and mines want the facts and a good run
for their money. Let them have them, but do not try to
deceive them, for it will not pay.

Rides Rough Horse

Tom Waite of Santa Rosa, Calf,
who has been stopping at a Reno
hotel for some time was given treat
ment at a hospital in that city recent
ly after a ride to the police station
in the patrol wagon. He had a
nightmare that resulted in his fight
ing all the furniture in the room.
His nightmare evidently threw him
off as his face was so badly cut
that he was weak from loss of blood.

begun to realize that the trouble was something other than
a dispute between an employer ard insubordinate en-
ployes, but again they acted with precipitation, authoriz-
ing President ~klngSburV to accept the designations al
ready rendered and any that might be rendered. Their
intentions were perfectly sincere, because the regents sin
cerely misunderstood the situation. They did not believe
that the question of free thought. speech and action was
seriously Involved in the dispute. We think that thew
understand their error by this time.
Disputes can arise in Utah which are neither religious
nor political, however eager WrOng-headed and selfish
hearted partsans are to convince the public of this state
and OF the country to the contrary. The trouble at the
university is neither religious nor political. This is dem
onstrated by the fact that mormon and gentle professors
and students have taken the same side.
1t IS most fortunate that the controversy does not rest
upon religious or political foundations. If it did the sitna-
ton would be hopeless. Old bigotries and prei1dices
would prevent any fair or honorable solution. but now =
solution is possible if all concerned will keep their heads
and act in a spirit of justice and charity.

STATE SHOULD SETTLE
SUFFRAGE, SAYS FLOOD
Congressman Tells Congregational Union
DELEGATION He Is Opposed to
Federal Amendment.

APPOMATTOX. VA, August 10
Congressman Hal D. Flood. OF the
Ninth Virginia District. to-day told n
delegation from the Congressional
Union for Womens Suffrage that he
!s opposed to submitting the Susan
Anthony amendment to the Federal
Constitution to the States for ratifica-
tion. He took the position that the
question OF suffrage is a matter for
each State to decide for itself, but did
not indicate his personal views OF the
question OF votes for women.
Mr.. Flood received party of women.
headed by Miss Edith Hansche. OF
Washington, and Mrs. Dexter Otey at
his country homo in a very cordial
manner. A banner bearing the words
We demand the passage OF an amend
ment TO the United States Constitu-
ton" was held aloft as the suffragists
motored from the town in several au-
tomobiles, and the streamer was dis
played prominently on the veranda OF
the Congressmans home.
URGES CONGRESSMAN
TO PLEDGE HIS VOTE
Mrs. Otey spoke for the party, and
urged Mr.. Flood TO vote for the Susan
B. Anthony amendment at the next
session OF Congress. She insisted that
it was right and just. and based upon
the principle that taxation without
representation is unfair. The Con-
gresham was asked to pledge his
vote.
Mr.. Flood replied that he had been
lighting taxation without representa-
tion" all his life, and said:
Il seriously doubt whether the Con-
stitution ever intended to give the
right TO amendment in a matter az
fecting suffrage. If I vote to submit
