At the last meet- J association I made a on what I be the duty of and has kindly Invited my views on the is instantly brought to itS beautiful L Jl 3 reading is f l' taken word by fencing at and so how My subject before me a corn-It 5 at Possibly many of you have read the late Max 0 opinion of when he said that country had rivers without trees without birds without sun without and men without this he could not say of we have rivers- with trees with birds with sun with We have an excellent motto in invented by the late Fisher Europe if you but see America We might with profit make the cry in our C. and commence at Salt Extol Your Own The mission of a newspaper should be to extol their to constantly write up all the features of the and to avoid as much as possible exciting and dangerous news concerning and all Balance Turn- men with honor some and this is' the mission of a We in Utah have God-made mountains and a modern well made with beautiful trees cement walks and streets well and blocks seven tc the that run automobiles We have you down and We have to look all the ways of the compass We have ore we cross a smells from the most unpleasant autos and What Hurt the Tribuna and Editor pertaining to crime is wholesome and a continual harping of polygamy and jealousy should not appear in the for not one word is written on the subject is conducive to the welfare of Salt The accomplishments of a newspaper should be to instruct and to and to be a booster all the There are many features that a newspaper might enter into with a view of doing and I here give my views as to some of the topics that should be taken up by the newspapers of The Lash for The or cat nine for burglars and desperadoes of all The lash is the only thing they Imprisonment is looked upon as forty years had the same trouble to contend and every newspaper advocated the lash for the The result was and within a few months entirely stopped the desperado from a scoundrel's The number of holdups in Salt Lake City the past twelve months is more than Australia and all British had the past twenty the press make this their crime and the gun will remain supreme in Salt It is not safe any respectable person to be in the streets of Salt Lake at and the moment the sun goes down the safe pi is in your own Give the Pioneers Another mission for the newspapers of Utah is to create a more settled feeling with all the Let the arrivals of the fifty years be that they did not discover Salt they did not lay out the did not plant the beautiful and the sooner they recognize that the pioneers- and their should receive all the praise what we are now Take Care of the A few lines should be written in every issue pointing out to parents and their children that more-money is spent on dime shows and theaters than on all the grade the high schools and put have many and should be taken presents and become the common talk of the That is the time for a to show its More Private We want in Salt Lake City more seats for and accommodation for men and At the present the only seats in the city t are at the grounds of the building and the and that is another mission for the newspapers to take Price of Food Too The price of food and the rents of houses is another vital question that the newspapers might take for the price of food is higher than in any of the ten thousand towns I have slept The five-cent loaf in Salt Lake I the smallest in the world for the and the trust formed by the grocers is the greatest graft I ever heard The other day a Salt Lake store was selling butter at 14 ounces to the pound instead of 16 Don't you think this to be the of a The Per Cent Profit Only a few days a farmer boy offered chickens' for sale to the He was offered p a The grocer was selling at profit over 80 per Another reform that I would like to see carried like many other cities I have is to the saloons in the main streets and drive them into the 1 side and back The use of the one-cent pieces so-called should be more should we have to sacrifice two and one-half cents when we purchase half a dozen At a dozen the grocer holdup gives six eggs for and the same with half a pound of Matters have got to such a pitch in Salt Lake that something must be done for the protection of the and who can do or who should do but the The latest piece of grocer's wholesale and is the small tins of two for and the price of one tin is all because we have not the one-cent piece more in Salt Lake is not a mining it is a city of one hundred thousand and should be brought Will you press men war on this As 1 paying for a copy of a I contend that two cents would pay you press men better charging for how many copies do you Not and where you now make a dollar a week in that would it not be better to handle ten dollars by your at two Any you would earn your money more All Good We have all sorts of good things in Utah that the other states do not for we have every known mineral that was ever found in the and the mines have only just been the newspapers were to take up the question of Utah's what a large amount of good it would I see no sense in the newspapers of Utah keeping back any of the resources of its Many crisp and interesting articles twenty to one hundred could be written on the mineral wealth of this about the fire china potter's lithographer's the finest fruit our apples and pears can
