THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF WEBER COUNTY. WHY .THEAPER STOPS of the State Jorunai who have been re-- 1 ceivlng their papers through the mail may be disappointed this evening. If the paper falls to reach them aa usual they must not consider it ns an April Fool Joke, r n desire on th part of the publisher to dispense with their business, it la simply n compliance with a new PATRONS postal law. In order to cut off millions of cheap advertising publications that were flooding the inatle and entallng a heavy burden on the poatoffice department the government ruled that after April 1 all papers going through the mall must be paid for In advance. If not they are not entitled to the regular publisher's rate of one cent per pound. Papers not paid for In advance may still go through tho malls by the payment of one cent postage on each paper, but no publisher can afford to send papers out at this ratte. If, therefore, any mall subscriber of the State Journal should mins his paper In the future he will know the reason for IL All that le required to have It continued aa before Is to have the subecriptlon price Pnld In advance. This may be done In any way to suit the convenience of tht subscriber. This payment In advance should not be regarded as a burden. As a matter of fact H places ths , business on a better basis all around. The latchstring of the Btate Journal la out at all times to every reader of the paper. It has no desire to cut one of them out of the circle, but the laws of the country must be observed. rooms. Even Garfield, who seemed to be acclaimed by the 1888 cheering thousands of the Chicago convention of owed wild a in probably nominated stampede, and to be hie honors to orders which came over the wire from Blaines house In Augusta. The list of presidents who have been proposed to the ocuntry by conventions, rather than by the voice of public opinion, bears the names of Folk, Pierce, Lincoln, Hayes. 3arflld and Harrison. The discovery and nomination of Lincoln entitles the convention system to n large credit mark. Until the delegatee got together at Chicago In 1888 he was distanced In tho race by Seward and could not possibly have won the honor except In convention. The methods which were employed to nominate him. however, tllustratte the evils of convention practices. If he himself had been on the scene and conducting his own campaign. It Is unlikely that he would have been chosen. Apparently he owed hie success to the trades made by friends who played the game untrammeled by the scruples which governed him even in his most active and earnest nentests. On the day before he was nominated, he took pains to send a special messenger to his representatives at Chicago with this written admonition, Malu no contracts that will bind ms." The contracts were made, notwithstanding, and Lincoln, in much distress of spirit, kept the pledges of his agents, two of which were for seats in the cabinet for Cameron, of Pennsylvania, and Smith, of Indiana. LISTEN TO PERRY HEATH It That name sounds familiar. PERRY a common name In Utah not many yean ago. In recent years It has not been so familiar. As a matter of fact It might be considered aa blotted off the record & HEATH! and forgotten. But now Perry bobs up again. Willis J. AbboL who writes political special for a number of western papers discovered the man who came to Utah to revolutionise politics and who left before the revolution wee complete. Abbot found Heath reported la a Savannah, Georgia paper and quotes Mm approvingly. Here la what Mr. Heath said In Georgia: 1 have never known a split In the Demoratle party equal In extent, bitterness or determination to that of tha present one In the Republican party. This split la due not to partisan principles, or public 'policies the usual character, but to the departure from Impersonal party policies It la dua to the usurpation of all that belongs to the whole people a condition so well known as to make description or comment unnecessary. I would not be surprised to see a candidate nominated at Denver get more Republican votes than the nominee at Chicago." The weakneaa of this statemenL so for as Utah ta concerned et least la that In his meteoric career through this state Mr. Heath did not establish his reputation as ft PULL! FOR YOUR CITY part of the meeting of the City BY far the best League last evening was the public spirit of IL the community spirit. When ministers of the gospel, merchants, professional men, educators, bankers, manufacturers. public ojfflcials, capitalists and above all others, the women art Induced to assemble and discuss measures for the betterment of a city It. augurs great things for the future of that city. This was the feature of last evenings gathering, this community - spirit, that gives greatest promise for the future of Ogden. Borne of those present may be dreamera aa was suggested by Dr. Carver, they may have Impractical visions, but let it be remembered that It is the dreamer the visionary, who la lifting the world from tha dead level of materialism to tha higher levels of clean, wholesome, useful life.

There is no city In America of equal else with Ogden which presents such opportunities for an organisation such as the City Improvement League. It la a most worthy organisation and deserves the support of every ctllsen. a true prophet GOOD NEWS FROM THE NORTH T HERE Is encouragement In the Information that comes from Boise that the CaplUl Bute Bank Is to resume In the Immediate future. This Institution went to the wall some time ago as a result of the panic and bad management combined. Now It in to be reopened on a better basis, with better management assured end bright prospects ahead. It Is a matter for congratulation that the Intermountain west came through the panic in such splendid style. The fact that tha number of banks and other b usings Institutions forced to close was so small speaks well for the conditions of the country, and more especially for the conservative methods employed by the men at the head of Institutions. Boise is to be congratulated on the of the Capital Bute bank under such favorable auspices. ' With new capital, with all the stockholders pulling together for the success of the bank and with proper guidance and management there is nothing tn sight to hold It bark from scoring n success.

Cheer up. ten. ed THE Inter-mounu- 1, M9 City Improvement Leagues Work For a Better Ogden Earnestness was tbs keynote of tbs City Improvement League at the Weber club last evening. The attendance intluded a number of the most progressive and Influential cltlsena, both mea and women. .The talks were was enthusito then the right point; asm for the work mapped out; then was appreciation expressed for the valuable services already rendered by such men aa J. S. Lewis, J. C. Kye and others. The spirit expressed makes it certain that the league wilt be a greater factor In the future than it has been even in the past in' making Ogden a better and more beautiful city. J. C. Nye, the president of ths league, called the meeting to order and briefly outlined the object of the gathering. He spoke of tho good work done. Prof. F. M. Driggs spoke of the work done by tho league In the securing of the pannage through the legislature of the park board commission law; tbe Improvements of the ground around the Union depot; the settlement of the waterworks question whereby the city wgs saved 888.M; the Improvement of the streets and parks; the purchase of a new patrol wagon by tho council on the suggestion of tho league; the protest against the filings on the water of Ogden river; prises for the best kept lawns; the fencing of the dangerous places in Ogden canyon; the restoration of the waterfall In Ogden canyon. Aa to ths work the league hae mapped out for the immediate future Prof. Driggs said: Work Mapped Out For League "We are ready to uphold our Mayor and city council in any movement that will make Ogden a cleaner and mors desirable city in which to reside. "We are heartily in favor of all civic improvements and desire to aee all poles taken from the streets, all hideous bill boards removed, our business streets lighted In a more modern way with cluster lights and Iron pillars upon the sidewalks, signs placed at ths Intersection of all streets and asphalt pavement substituted for the flagging at the intersection on Washington avenue. "We believe that most public utilities should be owned, and control ed by the municipality. We want a better boulevard from Ogden City to tha mouth of Ogden canyon and a High school big enough and good enough for Ogden II years hence. We should like to aw organised among our boys and girls "A Clean City Club" to create In the children a desire for dean homes, dean schools, dean streets, dean streets, dean parka, and clean youths "One of our fondest hopes is to have erected by this league a handsome electric drinking fountain on tho east side of Washington Ave at the foot of . street." John E.. Carver spoke of the Twenty-fourt- h Rev. three etmgee In progrees represented by the words mighL should and will. It Is along these lines the league Is working, leading the dtisena from ons point to the other till the object la accomplished. To Illustrate his point Dr. Carver spoke of Henry of Navarre and the work ha did for France In Inducing the people to plant mulberry trees and in this way lay the foundation for the greet silk Industry of that nation. He spoke of the natural beauty of Ogden and of the possibilities presented. He admitted that It waa a function of the league to aee visions and dream dreams, but waa convinced that these visions and dreams would result In a fairer and richer city. Ornamental Street Lighting City Engineer A. F. Parker spoke of ornamental street lighting for tho city. He told of the experiences of other cities In the matter of ornamental poles on the sides of the streets. Los Angeles has gone into 'this extensively and gets good results without added cost The poles are on tha aides of tho streets and support the trolley wine so that the poles are removed entirely from the center of the street John B. Lewis of the board of park commissioners, was warmly greeted. He spoke of the difficulties overcome in securing the law; of the work necessary to get the work started under the new law. In this respect Ogden led the state tha way for other cities. He gave a report of what the board had done In the way. of removing dead trees, planting new trees, parking tho streets and Improving the parka.
