State are aware of the great opportunity open before them in having realize-threequal suffrage.. Dp they sponsibility for good or ill that this precious boon has given them" ? They are. undoubtedly half the voting population of the entire State; were they to unite on any proposition they could carry it, there is not a doubt'. As soon as anything goes wrong it is noticable how quick people are ready to say 'the women did it." Therefore it would seem "the women" must study carefully the questions of the day, and particularly the needs of their own locality, and the new conditions that, have come through statehood,, and its relations to the general government under which they live and of which the people profess to be so proud. There are many problems confronting the people today "and they .must be taken seriously. Women have the ballot in. these intermountain states and the wonieu in other parts of the Republic, not so highly favored, expect something of this privi-leg- e granted to a few; something tbat - will help them; a brilliant example of superior wisdom in! dealing with important matters; we in Utah are being watched in the. course we pursue with this great gift bestowed upon us; we are like a light set on a hill, to give light to those around, therefore the women of Utah must take heed to their ways, and should make a record now in this coining campaign that they will be proud of, and that will help womankind every where'tlie world over. There is always counsel to be obtained for those who are at sea upon subjects that seem doubtful, and the scripture tells us, "Where there is no counsel the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors thee is Those who have labored for safety." years to secure the ballot and equal rights for women are not likely to rest satisfied, when their claims to recognition are not conceded, and will by such methods as seem proper ' and available declare their equality 111 matters that pertain to their welfare as citizens.

Some tales of the wounded the suffering and hungry are very pathetic. On the 23rd of August when the wife oj Oen.

One of the most important considerations in the coming campaign is and should be the fostering of and protecting home industries upon which the future of the jKropIe t and the State itself depends. Women afford to ignore this question, it lies Homes and happiness, near their hearts. all that makes life sweet rests upon the development of that which is within our own borders. The Lord has given tlrs wonderful land to the people within to make fertile and bring forth from its soil an abundance for themselves and their children, and they should not trille with such benefits. J5y dint of laborAconomy and thrift some industries have been cstah lished that still heed the fostering care ol the State, others need to be founded to promote still greater prosperity and give more One opportunities for labor and profit. which appeals most direct to the women of Utah is the. silk industry, and too much cannot be said on the subject nor the encouragement of it too strongly urged. Agitate it everywhere until the pcopL awaken to its importance sufficiently to comprehend the bearing it would have upon the pros-- , " perity of the country. Here and there and at different times women have made persistent efforts, and worked against obstacles that seemed insurmountable, and have proven what a united effort could accom-phswith some protection and necessary aid, but now with the ballot in their own hands, and the coast clear, to elect men and women to places of trust who will consider home industries, the paramount issue for Utah, what can be said if they fail?
