Show H IT HELPED UTAH. H Salt Lako oduoalOrs aro beginning to receive H luttors from prominent people who attended the H rocont convention of educators, and the dom- H mant tone is ono of ohoer for Utah. In spite of H warnings, the tcaohors onjoyed themsolvos in this H state. In spite of spito, thoy wore bettered be- 9 cause of thoir visit. Thoy go back homo, start H into acoustomed routine, think back over their H woek in the city of Saints and frankly confess H that they not only like our peoplor but- they-ap- Hj prove of thorn. " H That helps Uth. To some of them it was H i their first visit in the stale. Some came for H l ho outing. Some possibly found curiosity an H incentive. Some, habitual N. E. A. attondors, H considered location and environment as regular H factors. They would meet at Baalbeck with H similar unconcern. But with all classes of vis- H itors so far heard from, the verdict is the same. H Thoy had a good time, and they will carry to the WM end of their lives a bettor impression of Salt H Lako, of Utah, and of all our people than they H over had before. H Without question there was a more har- SS monious spirit in (ho mootings. There was just jn as much politics, but it bad more kindliness in H it, and more of the big, broad, western way, Hj moro good fellowship and a quicker healing of H wounds. That is tho offoct or the atmosphere H surrounding them; tho environment or vigor H tomporod with goo.d humor; strength sweetened H with love; might pieced out with charity; capa- H . bility with horse sense. It wasn't possible for the H narrow, the arl)itrary, the fanatical, to gain foot- H hold. It was impossible to foment bitterness in H tho prosonco of so much that was sweet and H wholesome and sane. H Good pnoughl Tho oKl rebel general who H said at tho recent Gettysburg reunion Hint if tho H Yanks and tho Johnnies had known onoh other B as well in 1803 as thoy did in J 9 lil Lhoro wouldn't B havo boon any war was right. If tho pooplo of H tho oast knew Utah as well as they might, there H wouldn't bo a vacant lot in Salt Lnko City, nor H an idle aero between Cache county and Kannb. |
