DOING NICELY. THANK YOU.

The Logan Journal is of the opinion
that all Democrats should support The
Herald. not only because it is las good
a newspaper as the Tribune, but it re-
hects party views and principles
While assuring our esteemed Logan
contemporary that it's interest is appre-
ciated and its friendly feeling recipro-
Gated. we beg to assure it that there
are a great many, and the number is
growing at the rate of about fifty per
day, who consider The Herald a better
newspaper than the morning contem-
porary mentioned, broader in its views
and more deserving of the patronage
and support of all parties and people
who believe in the upbuilding rather
than the tearing down of the state.
The increase in subscribers to the
daily alone is averaging fifty per day
at present, and the growth of the
semi-weekly list is quite as satisfac-
tory. The Herald does not depend al
together upon Democratic support, for
hundreds of its readers are ReDubli-
cans who have grown tired of seeing
their state and neighbors libeled every
day of the year, and believe in patron
izing those who, apart from religion or.
partisan consideration, stand UP for the
state and speak fairly for its people.
We think, therefore, that our Logan
contemporary is a little bit radical
when it saws:
There may have been some excuse for
supporting the Tribune when il was max
ing its fight for silver but since the well
known editor of the Salt Lake Tribune,
Pat Lannan. has seen d new light and
Joined the ranks of the administration
Republicans, there can be none. Every
professed Democrat who patronizes the
organs deserves to be sidetracked in the
race for office and we hope that this
view will be well and openly defined and
strictly adhered to.
The class of so-called Democrats re-
ferred to by the Journal are very few.
They are called Lannancrats down
here The Tribune quotes them as
party authorities. works them for al
legged party secrets, uses them to injure
the Democratic party, dominates them
for high offices and sounds their
praises until their position is pretty
well understood in all parties. They
need no further sidetracking. In cham
pioning their cause the organ of the
boss opens the switch for them.

WHY DID He DUCK?

The Provo Enquirer reads lecture
to the editor of the Deseret News on
its policy in answering the attacks
made upon the church, and says: las
a church organ. humility, rather than
belligerency, would better represent the
good people of the church; and it would
have better effect than the present
policy of the Deseret News"
1t also blames the editor of the News
for provoking a general Investigation
which the Enquirer very naturally
thinks should have been confined to
Mr.. Roberts.
The Ephraim Enterprise discusses
the Enquirer's position all through the
anti-Roberts fight as follows: Man

was such an outing to Shakespeare
himself, after the completion of the Sc
rIes of English historical plays-not
counting his part of Henry WILL,
which was not written until some ten
years later. The poet was weary with
long tarrying in camps and courts,
glad to escape from the company OF
kings and queens. and to take to the
woods for a thoroughly unconventional

Two Stories By Sergeant King.

Sergeant John l.. King, late of the
twentieth Kansas. is writing some clever
stories for the Minneapolis MESSENGER in
which he presents some odds and ends of
campaign life. Here are a couple of his
anecdotes: faa
John Quick secured some beefsteak one
day while the regiment lay at Caloocan
and was serenely cooking the same. when
stray Marser hit the pan fair and
square and knocked 1t about a rod COW
ering Quick with hot grease and scatter
ing the meat broadcast. Quick. smarting
with pain and angera Immediately loaded
his Springfield and all day long watched
Tor an opportunity to wreak vengeance
The writer stroiied around during the
day and was informed: Il went into this
war at the call of my country but since
that damned fool spoiled my meat il has
become a personal matter
Most volunteer officers imagine that the
first step toward military success is to
learn to swear. forcibly. easily and grace
fully. Some attempts to learn were ludi-
crous. During the battle of Guigufnia M
company's first lieutenant ordered the
boys to stay UNDER cover whereupon
some overly brave said they felt better in
a position where they could see the prog
ress of the fight. The lieutenant became
enraged and Numbered: That don't make
a damn The roar-that went up from
the boys completely bewildered the Of
ficer.. who doesn't know yet but that he
equaled Sheridan's best in that effort.

The Meter of the Play.
The meter of AS You Like 1t" in
that of Shakespeares best period in
that respect- In his earliest plays the
verse, though often eNquisitely modu-
lated. is sometimes labored and formal
He had not then mastered the art of
concealing the art" In his last plays,
on the other hand. he seems to feel a
certain contempt for the rules of versi-
fication and refuses to be restrained
by them There are long passages in
The Tempest" and THE Winters
Tale. for example, which. if we heard
them read without knowing their
source. We might take to be plain
prose- At the same time 1t must be
admitted that some of the poets finest
versification is to be found here
and there in these last plays
But in AS You Like IT. as in other
plays of the same period-about the
middle of the poets career as a writer
we have the utmost perfection OF
blank verse; at once finished and flow
ing. artisticasly musical. yet seeming
to sing itself''-the art of the accom-
plished minstrel. while it imp-esseS US
as the artlessness of the lark or the
nightingale.
This play also contains what. to my
thinking. is the best example of mu-
steal variation in repeating the same
thought or sentiment to be found any
where in Shakespeare. 1t is in Ill. Z.
where Orlando in his address to the
duke says:
II ever you have lood on better days,
IL ever been where bells have knolld to
church.
II ever sat at any good mans feast.
III ever from your eyelids wip'd tear.
And know what tbs to pity and be
pitied. etc.
1t would seem that this could hardly
be altered without marring il; but.
iaGltless as it is, Shakespeare shows
that he can repeat it with a differ
ei1ce," yet with no diminution of its
beauty or its music. The duke re-
-iies:
True it is that we have seen better days,
And have with holy bell been knolld to
church,
And sat at good mems feasts and wip'd
our eyes
OF drops that sacred pity hath engenderd.
Every statement is varied. while the
loading words are retained. and the
variation is like that of some exquisite
theme in music. repeated yet not the
same, but as sweet as before.

PERlLs TO ENCOUNTER IN CUBA

Cubans are becoming restless. They
are impatient for their promised indie
pendence Governor General Brooke
has not shown much tact in his rela-
lions with them. Then there are news
paperssin the United States openly ad-
vocating Cuban annexation. Circulars
are printed and distributed all over this
country eXpatiating upon the wealth
and resources of Cuba and urging for
chile retention, If peaceful acquisition
is impossible.
The president recognizes and repeats
in his message the obligation this gov
eminent is under to give the Cubans in
dependence. But there are administra-
ton newspapers which claim that Sc
cret plans TO retain control of Cnba are
being matured ct Washington.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat claims
that the real powers behind the presi-
dent are determined to annex the island
and that the work of the press bureau
established for the purpose of mould
ing sentiment for sforcible expansion
indicates what viii be the outcome of
the present relations existing between
the United States and Cuba. In this
case, in spite of his previous record. We
hope to see Mr.. Mckinley rise above the
syndicate which is bringing his admin
istration into disrepute"
But the arguments used for Cuban
conquest are the same as were put
forth in discussing the future of the
Philippines, and il is quite apparent
now that there would have been a revo-
luton, instruction, or whatever it may
be called, in Cuba when the outbreak
at Manila occurred. If it hadn't been for
the assurances of independence the
president gave the Cubans-an assur-
ance he denied the Filipinos.
Discussing this question of annexa-
ton at another time, the ST. Louis or
gan of Imperialism said: I'VE are
pledged to give Cuba a stable govern
ment. BY no possibility can this be
construed TO mean that our forces will
withdraw entirely from the island as
