But the only one who dwelt In a state of illusion was Its owner. Everybody else knew It was a folding bed. but the etiquette of the times ferhade discus- - Bothwell r Yuletide with it Mirit- of pnnd cheer is here and has always serve! to turn mans thoughts toward those ' who have been less- fortunate. Not what we give, therefore, but the spirit in which we minister during the season of good will, and during all the year, are the things that really count and that give us real happiness. The entire significance in the giving of gifts, is that the gift means something in the way of friendship or love. Its value is in the sentiment expressed and not in the cost This is the meaning which Jesus 6aw in gifts when he said "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Mrs. A. A. Nichols and daughter, Gertrude were in Ogden shopping Tuesday.

It is true that Washingcontained ton's family both stars and stripes, but these had been used in other flags before 1776 The Grand Union flag, the first to float over the navy, consisted of 13 stripes, alternately red and white, with a union bearing the crosses of St. George and, St Andrew, signifying the mother country. Some historians believe that the stripes were taken from the flag and the stars from the colonial banner of Khode Island. Others maintain that, the Idea of the flag came from the Netherlands, as Franklin and Adams, who were sent to that country to borrow money for aid, told the Dutch that America had borrowed much from them, including the ideas represented In the flag. Another claim Is thatJthe stars were taken from the constellation Lyra and signified "harmony."! coat-of-ar- - .

The famous academic dispute concerning tlie site, which began about A.

The Womans Journal of Boston, edited by Lucy Stone, denounced in scathing terms ,the bold attempt to disfranchise citizens, who, exercised the right to vote, for years. One reads with pride in her sex, of the unwavering loyalty with which these pioneer women marched on to reach the goal desired by all intelligent and progressive people, that of equal rights and privileges under a free and independent government The history from the time of the passing of the Edmonds bill, until the state constitutional convention of 1895 is too lengthy to record here, suffice to say , that these ' patriotic women were encouraged and sustained at all times by prominent and r influential men. Quoting from an article written by , Susa . Young , Gates, ."Brigham Young, the founder of bur state, encouraged women to enter any, and all forms o public, life, where their circumstance and condition was favorable. He often said women were better suited for merchandising, for coun ty clerks, for school teaching and. for other offices, than were men, and maintained that every public institution should contain on it's board of officers, at least two women." : He placed women upon the boards of the schools which bore his name. fhe constitutional convention of 1895 in session 66 days and woman's suffrage was royally triumphant. There were many women delegates in the county and also the state convention of both political parties in 1896, and a number of women were nominat ed. Dr. Martha Huges Cannon was elected to the senate. Eurtha Le Bar-th- i, and Sarah A. Andersen were elect ed to the house of representatives. Margaret A. Cain was elected auditor of Salt Lake County, Utah county elected a woman treasurer. Millard county elected a woman recorder, The women of Box Elder county at that time were forging ahead with the lead ing progressive women of the state. At that time Fannie Graehl of Brig-haCity, was elected recorder. - Thirty-fou- r years have passed since then and the women of Box Elder county are just where they were then, the only difference is, that in order to get the one elective office, conceded to women at the present time, one must be a widow. ; V; .!; ';(!", Is jt possible that the women of this generation, in Box Elder county, are content to make no effort, or do nothing more than remain ' just ' where these pioneers left us?, ... . Some of our sister states who received woman suffrage during President Wilson's administration, have gone so far ahead in governmental activities, there is no comparison. Some of these states todayrnave women in congress. It is nd compliment" to' any man's wife or mother, to have him, staunchly object to women in public office, because of her sex. It is evident he r ; m - is publicly airing the opinion he has of the women closely associated with him, and judging all women to be on the same level,' mentally. Do these men know that at one time there were only a' certain class of men, who were allowed to vote? And, that the suffrage privilege came by accident of birth, by property qualifications, or by mental aquire-ment- s ? It might be possible that, the very men, who are opposed to women in public office, would be of the class who were denied the suffrage, had they lived upon the earth at an earlier date. But then, as now, fine, broadminded, progressive men saw the injustice, the lack of human progress in such a law. When the people as a whole, became more intellectual and broad minded, such laws were changs ' ed, Many unkind things have been said " ' of these leaders of our human progress, and as uncomplimentary, as unkind are the things that have been said of the people they were tryinjg to help. Women everywhere must have read, with indignation, such statements as this: "Why give to women the- - suf- frage, they are only a lot of spineless jelly fish, who, unscrupulous politicians will flatter into doing their bidding, or they will blindly and unthinkingly cast their vote as some man di-- 1 rects. As the years of election come and go, by indignation is waning and I have decided that he might have been some where near right, had he made some expectations, and said, most women will do this, and so, just as men do and always have done. Not all women are fit for public office, but, neither are all men, fit for public services. Is there any thought narrower or more disgusting than the idea that any man is better qualified for public office, than a woman, regardless or her ability? Such opinions belong to the cave man, and it is gratifying that so few men or women make such remarks. It sounds much more intelligent to hear them 'say, "We are in favor of women in public office, but, this is not the right office she is seeking, or, she is not the right woman for the position, as she is not residing in the right locality." These phrases are not any more logical perhaps, but, better sounding, and if they are allowed to grow the cave man idea will eventually give way. And if we still have a few , women courageous enough to dare become a candidate for public office, the day may yet come, when women of Utah will be on an equal basis with the women of other states, providing, the women themselves have any pride in i their ability and intelligence. No man or woman, but adhors the catty slandering tongue of one woman against another. Every woman desires admiration and respect, and the respect one woman bestows upon . the deserving . woman her community, or country or state,' will reflect admiration and respect . upon herself. , As citizens of the fair state of Utah are we women going to let the history of the woman suffrage of the next 84 " .;.

Jenkins) Let us suppose that our ! man-ho- ur production were doubled over night by the adoption of better machines and methods and that there were no resultant increase in the average use commodities and services by individuals. Then in order to keep production within our power to use, it would be the necessary to reduce by number of hours worked per 'week. And that without reducing the number of persons who work and without re ducing the annual income of anyone. But we may assume that any gen eral increase of " productive tower should automatically cause increased hourly wages and more liesure for ev eryone; That when any industry reduces the minute cost of its products, be they ton, miles per hour or other services and commodities such redaction in time cost should be offset 60 per cent by increases in use of products created by cheapening their cost to consumers and 60 per cent by reduction in the average number of hours the workers ave used each year. . More than 90 per cent of all things that are made in America are consumed at home, so american wages combined with the liesure enjoyed by our workers maintain the demand for all our products and traffic facilities. In order to avoid periods of time in which many persons are unable to hold any connection with honest efforts to create' livings for themselves in our present ."day life our, government should regulate and nquire that jail forms of business observe this economic principle or axiom. , 4 Any business that cannot keep step is obsolete and should be revised at once so that prosperity can Te maintained for all the people. , ... , , one-ha- lf , - .
