Show 0 0 I 1 f I r Trans-Mississippi Trans Comm Commercial cial Congress I L Gathers at Center of the Solid West WestE E want the delegates to the T Trans Mississippi m I Commercial Congress Congress Con Con- WE to like Salt Lake and Utah to enjoy their visit here and gress to return home determined to make this commonwealth at least second to t their home states in their affections It would bo be asking asking askins ask ask- ing ins too much to e expect all of them to telegraph orders home to sell tho the farm or the business and ship the furniture immediately labelled Salt lC Salt Lake Loke because they are aie leading men in their home communities and und they have e interests which they could not sunder or sever much uch as they must realize by this time timo their mistake in in taking root anywhere any before they had investigated what Utah has hag to offer But now that they know all about it we may hope that they will tell their friends an and neighbors when they return that Utah is the place and that if they made a change it is i this commonwealth to which they would come They may feel that here in Utah we underrate Salt Lakes Lake's excellences excellences excellences ex ex- when we label it H the the center of the solid west instead of It the hub of the universe and that our modesty is not becoming But they should consider it an all e example ample of Utah tolerance and intelligence enthusiasm of those who not t only have havea that heated as we are arc with rith the tho n a n. slogan but have ha the goo goods 3 also we recognize the at least moderate advantages of some other parts of this glorious country Knowing Knowing Know Know- lC and confident that anybody who comes ing ng that this is the place here will ill recognize it also we wo merely put Utah's capital forward as the chief city of the west and have ha no argument with ith those who do donot donot donot not wish to come westYe west 1 We Ye e may consider these latter persons as singularly benighted and lacking in the intelligence necessary to the successful westerner but we discuss them more in sorrow than in anger auger The first citizens of this great grent inland empire the noble red men fixed the western attitude to towards towards towards to- to wards the mentally deficient by holding them from harm even on during the most sanguinary warfare feeling that the Creator had touched them and set them apart Titus Thus it has become the western fashion only to pity those who do not lC hear hear the west a Time The problems which the congress is meeting to discuss are of prime pIme importance to Utah and necessarily to its metropolis which can advance advance advance ad ad- vance no more rapidly than do the surrounding communities and the contributing territory The people of Salt Lake have the opportunity to hear discussion of the problems in which they are most absorbed Attendance the sessions ses- ses sessions sessions ses ses- by those who unde understand tand them thoroughly upon of the congress should prove a liberal education in matters pertaining pertaining pertaining per per- to western prosperity and development and those who fail to take advantage of this opportunity will miss much that would be of benefit to them Perhaps the best evidence of welcome we can give as citizens o of the city which entertains these distinguished and earnest visitors is to show by our presence at these sessions that our welcome is from the heart and that wo are glad to have 8 them here because weare we weare weare are in sympathy with them Such attitude on our part will offer more assuring testimony of the sincerity of our greeting than the wealth of well chosen words and phrases which fall from the lips of those officially selected to voice our sentiments From tho the material standpoint the tho sort o of men who participate in inthis inthis this his gathering are substantial and representative Americans and the report which they make of Salt Lake to those who sent them here will fix lx largely the estimation of this city in the minds and hearts of those who remained remain cd behind As a II commonwealth that has suffered vastly from misrepresentation and ancl from the tho sowing of seeds of viciousness in n soil made fertile by preliminary untruths and misapprehension of real conditions it is to our interest that none of these visitors shall return home without a thorough knowledge of what we wo have ha and what we Re are Once they become informed we need not fear the result eo 4 I HE campaign to t promote promo e the use

be pursued and we trust there will be some reorganization of the work along that line The wind where it listeth seems to be bo the text from which home products have been preached to judge by the total disproportion disproportion disproportion dis dis- proportion of 01 action to argument Jealousy between Utah producers of the same sort of material often has stood in the way of a selection of the local product the disheveled buyer usually emerging from the time melee with a determination to go outside time the state for what he ho wants so that each ench of the Utah competitors will have equal reason for being indignant indignant indignant-an an application of the policy of impartiality that may save trouble but doesn't keep the money in Utah where it ought to be Utah rivals will have
