Msrcusen, chairman of the Republican atate committee, members of the Social Welfare league are asking themselves sad each other whether the head of the G. O.

Mr. Marcuasens communication was In reply to a letter sent him by the league an September 10. In Its letter the league suggested that the atate committee luvestlgat the party and the officials it elected last fall with a view to getting nt all the facta and than, if proper, institute criminal proceedings or mess area to have objectionable Republican officials removed from of- under changing: conditions.

Stripped of all Its surplus verbiage, the G. O. P. state chairmans communication said.

The Stale Fair and Education By Mrs. D. W. Mofffett OTTAR OF 8EVENS The function or process or The political wise men of Salt Lake profess to detect perfume strongly suggestive of Ottar of Sevens" emanating from Business Men's committee to "pick a mayor for the the city. The persistent prominence of the name of Dibblee appears to be the "symptom" upon which they hang their diagnosis. It is pointed out that as early as two or three months ago it was common report on the street that 0. R. Dibblee and W. II. Sten-ackwere the chosen candidates for mayor and city commissioner of the Secret Order of Sevens. No denial of this report came from those known to be connected with the organization. Then came the county commissioner booze party expose, following upon the heels of the county treasury and city street department fund shortages. Stenackers name as a commissioner candidate just naturally faded out of the picture. Not long ago there was a meeting of the Sevens in the office of Mr. Dibblee, according to report, at which it was decided that it would be total to Dibblee s chances if he were known to be backed by the Sevens. It was circulated that he would not run. Then, from somewhere put of the mystic nowhere, evolved a business men's committee, labeled but, bearing a strong resemblance to a Republican organization combination. Among the first names prominently mentioned by this committee for mayor was that of 0. R. Dibblee. And, in going over the list of names suggested, we fail to find a single Democrat Strange isn't it that this business men's committee cant find any mayoralty timber anywhere but in the Republican party. Strange, too, isn't it that the name of Dibblee has "just happened" to progress from the bottom to the top of the list. "business mens" potential candidates. Thinking it over, we wonder if the political wise mens diagnosis is right and this "business men's committee movement" is really a Sevens movement to slip their candidate to the people as the business mens choice for mayor. so-call- ed er . Non-Partis- an SIGNIFICANT MEETING One of the most important and significant gatherings of Intermountain Democrats ever held is in progress at Ogden. Democrats from eleven western states are gathered in the Utah city to discuss several subjects of vital import to the Democratic party, to bring about a unification of party organizations in the Into the end termountain states, to develop cohesion and that Democracy may march triumphantly into the political battle of 1928. One of the prime objects of this meeting is to discuss the matter of the most available Democratic candidate for the presidency, and much interest is being manifested throughout the country owing to the fact that the prime movers in bringing about this meeting an known to be ardent supporters of Governor A1 Smith. Just what the meeting will do in the matter of indorsing a candidate for president, we cannot presume to predict, but of this we feel certain, that the men who attend are sufficiently advised as to the sentiment in their states, that their action will, be in keeping with and will represent the prevailing sentiment of Democrats in their states. "Independent newspapers are a vital necessity to every in the United States," says Harold J. Shepxtone, English journalist, who dropped into Salt Lake City the other day.

However, we usually speak of an Institution of education as one where thq process of acquiring knowledge goes forward at a faster pace han of every-dalife. y The Utah state fair Is not generally spoken or as an educational Institution, but when we subject the fair to analy. sis It Is found to possess the great requirement of an educational Institution In a high degree. We find the state's history for the past year recorded In actualities. The exhibits are a true barometer of the states economic strength. As each fair Is an annual history, the comparison of successive fairs will give a compiratlve history. The geographic division of the exhibits offer training In the geography of the state. These are only two examples of the multitude of opportunities offered by the fair for a concentrated acquisition of knowledge. The more obvious opportunities as illustrated Industrial ' method, scientific progress, comparative art, etc, are commonly recognised. Of all the methods of acquiring knowledge. It Is generally conceded that we learn most rapidly and most endurlngly through the sense of sight. You see for yourself. Thus, the fair not only offers opportunity got concentrated learning, but also by the easiest method. In view of these facts, parents and children alike should approach the fair as they would any other educational Institution, and should apply the same maxims while there. They should be thorough In their examination of exhibits and should see beyond the visible, and see their state as the background of the fair. A hurried excursion through the fair win nerhaps give the Impression that It is the same as last year." But this 'a not true and the persons who appreciate the fair and approach It from an educational view point will not agree. They will And a true portrait of the state and find it bigger and better ev en as the state In which they live An Unusual Opportunity to Study Public Questions.
