Protest Against Decision
to Adjust Peace on
the Quiet
GREAT BRITAIN ALSO
AGAINST THE IDEA
American Newspaper Correspondents
Send President Wilson Memoran-
dunn in Protest Against Course which
France, Italy and Japan Favor.

PARIS Jan. Is Associated Press.
The question of whether the peace
conference is to be secret or wholly
open to the eyes and ears of the world
was, brought to a focus yesterday by
the announcement of an agreement to
eonfine the information to daily Off
cial communique and that gentle
man 5 agreement prevailed among the
delegates not to discuss, or in any way
give information of the meetings in the
foreign office.
No written official announcement of
this purpose was issued, but word was
passed out to this effect, and it was
| followed by an explosion which quite
| drowned ont the doings of the peace
| commissioners.
The understanding is that the Amer
lean and British delegates opposed this
derision, but that the French. Italians
and Japanese, voting together pre-

h terms against the decision. and remind

The memorial was before the Presi-
dent last night, and there is every rea-
son TO believe that such storm has
been raised as will force the question
before the actual sessions of the peace
conference begin Saturday morning.
The question of whether the meet

is serious, not only in tie United States,

AFTER THE EDITOR

1t is nothing new to find some fellow
after the editor" in fact the editor, like
the cat, is the fellow whom everybody
kicks at. One of the latest is the follow
ing letter from Charles E. Barnett, Of
Fort Wayne, to Colonel George Harvey,
of the North American Review:
Sir: If you are as mean social
ly as your are politically, God pity
your family and your associates.
Should you have cancer of the liv-
er or an luetic brain, you natural
ly should be excused"
Some talk that to man who is one of
the foremost, if not the foremost, editor
in the United States. If big fellows like
Colonel Harvey has such brick bats
thrown at him, the little fellows should
not complain if occasionally some fellow
citizen calls him rames. But listen to
Editor Harvey's come hack, there is al
ways come back, don't you know:

pete with the exquisite breeding Of
our correspondents amiable OBJ
servations by attempting fitting
response to them. We are not

WAVE OF INFLUENZA

An increase in the number of Spanish
influenza cases is noted in many parts
of the United States, and Utah is no eX-
ception to the general rule. The state
board of health and other leading medi-
cal authorities agree that the epidemic
will last during the rvesent winter and
may return at intervals for several years
to come. This being the case, they insist
that the country should be prepared for
a long campaign, and that there should
be no relaxation of vigilance upon the
part of the health authorities and the
public generally. Cities and towns cannot
be closed indefinitely or account of the
epidemic, for men must work in order to
provide for their families, and business
go on as usual or financial ruin will fol-
low. There is only one way to combat the
disease, and that is the prompt isolation
of those who are afflicted. This canEct
be accomplished unless there is coopera-
ton upon the part of the public. no man.

MANN FOR SPEAKER

Representative Marn of Illinois, who
seems to have recovered his health, is
now the leading Republican candidate
for the speakership of the house, which
will be vacated by Champ Clark on the
4th of next March Mr.. Mann has been
floor leader for the Republicans during
Democratic control of the house and is
entitled to the office of speaker, now that
his party will soon be in power. He has
been sick much of the time during the
last two years and other men were con-
sidered for the speakersnip on that ac-
count. But as he is again in harness he
will probably be the choice of the Repub-
lican caucus, which is equivalent to cleo
ton this time. Besides being an able and
experienced legislator. MI. Mann is in
tensely patriotic, and has supported the
war with all his strength. He is also en-
dowed with practical common sense, and
when Seantor Sherman and Representa-
tive Rodenbery, both Of Illinois, sought
to hamper and disgredit the president
upon the, eve Of his neparture for Europe
he gave notice that whatever course in
divldual Republicans saw fit to pursue,
the party would not be held responsible.
Mr.. Mann made the announcement after
conference with some of the leading Re-
publicans in congress, and the vicious as
saults upon the presi dent ceased at once.
Sherman then made bitter attack on
Mr.. Mann from the floor of the senate
and brought himself into disrepute
throughout the country, while the house
leader is now more fully appreciated than
ever before in his career.-Salt Lake Tri-
bune.

"Grass Widows"

The term ssGrass Widow very Ike
ly originated from the wording of a
Canon law of the eleventh century,
which ordained that widow should
remain under Gods protection and
grace for a full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry if she
pleased. Such women were widows
of grace" and in later parish regis
tiers they are described as "Grasse
Widowes." In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow was ap-
piled to unmarried mothers, and in
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another explana-
ton of its origin is found here in the
United States During the days of
gold rushes it was common for men
to board out their wives until they
had made enough to start a home i'm
the West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"
