The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1902-10-09

The Democrats are making mis-
take in their plan for the state candi-
dates to trail up the Republican state
candidates on their speech-making
tour. It's pettyfogging and childish
play on the part Of the Democrats. 1t
would be a good deal more manly for
them to strike out boldly and indie
pendently on their own account in
stead Of dogging the footsteps Of their
opponents. That's, however, the policy
the Democrats have been playing for
years. Instead of coming out boldly
and plainly with policy of their own
and pushing it, they have been trot-
ting away behind, bowling about what
somebody else has done or not done.
Theirs is plan that nobody admires
and will never win with the voters

The Richtield Reaper admires forth
tude in defeated candidates. 1t says
on this timely subject: "We like to
see the defeated go down as men should
go. The aspirant who squirms and
swears and becomes soreheaded be-
cause he thinks the other man gave
him what he tried to give the other
man will sooner or later reach his
political grave. To take defeat calm
ly is the greatest sign of really true
men," The Republicans of this county
should take this to heart, and in the
coming convention vote and act like
men. After the convention is over
and you haven't secured the nominal
ton you were after, it is hardly ex-
pected that you will feel the personal
interest you would have otherwise,
but it can be reasonably expected that
you will go to the poles and vote the
ticket and do whatever is possible i'm
a general way to secure the election
of the ticket.

1t may be fact that the trusts are
detriment to the country and that
the workingman could be favored
more than he is, but the fact remains
that there never was time in the
history of the country when labor was
so universally employed. Neither was
there ever time when the working
man received such excellent wages for
his work The cost of living is also
probably higher, but when the work
ingman can easily get the money to
pay the increase, he has no kick COM
ing-and the workingman is not kick
ing. Under free trade legislation, the
cost of living was reduced to mini
mum, but it was impossible for the
workingman to secure enough work or
enough money to enable him to keep
soul and body together. Which is the
best, voters? win you send to Con-
gresS man who will vote for a return
of the kind of prosperity that came to
us under free trade legislation?

According to accurate statistics,
there were 100000 men out of en-
ployment during the free trade period
from 1893 to 1897, and it is also "a well
known fact that the wages of those
employed had been constantly forced
down. These facts are vital and
should not be forgotten. The Repub-
lican party may be party Of "thigs

but the Republican party has no such
record as that behind it.

From the way Judge King scored
Republicans who were formerly Demo

not appreciate vote cast for him by

FARMER FINDS A FRIEND.

Nadeau, Mich, Feb. 3rd.-Mr. Nelson
De Roster of this place, a prosperous
farmer sixty-one years of age, has suf-
fered for years with Kidney Trouble.
He has tried many medicines, but
found nothing to relieve him until he
began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
he has found this remedy to be a friend
indeed. He says:

Trouble to use Dodd's Kidney Pills.

BUYING OR RENTING.
Many Excellent Reasons for Think
ing the Former the Better
Policy for Our Farmers.

1t doesn't make any difference,
whether a man has small means or
can pay cash, the best policy is to
buy. Every farmer is ambitious. He
wants to own a farm-to have some
place to call home, even if it is only
40 acres. The expenses are about
equal, buying or renting. The rent
amounts to as much, and often more,
than the taxes, interest and repairs.
The renter has more money to put
into stock, but his possessions must
accommodate themselves to the farm
he rents, and this is often incon-
venient. Or he must build extra
fence, which is expensive, as the fence
is useless when he moves elsewhere.
Usually the renter exchanges crops and
stock for money every time he moves,
which is every year or two. OF course,
he puts the money in the bank, and is
going to save it until he can pay cash
for a farm. During the year he sees
something that he is very anxious to
own, and as the money is easy to get,
it goes. Of course he is going to have
a better crop this year, and will! make
more on his hops, and can easily re-
place the money, and, more, too. 1t is
just as easy to use it all rs it is to
use a little, and before the end OF
the year it is all gone.
The buyer cannot do this. When he
sells a crop, or a bunch of hogs, and
pays the money OF a farm, it is
there to stay. He must deny himself
many things, but he who satisfies
every want will not have his labors
crowned with success. Unceasing toll
is the parent of success. 1t only takes
about half of the year to raise the
crop. During the other half the rent
er does not do enough to pay his ex-
penses. He makes as much as any
farmer while he works, but the buyer
works while the renter is idle. The
weeds need cutting, the fences need
fixing, the fertilizers need scattering,
the bitches need repairing, and many
other things need to be done, so that
the buyer is busy the entire year. Per-
haps he haSless amusement, Dut amuse-
ment is expensive.
A farm should have a good orchard
and a garden of ~shrubbery. Neither
trees nor shrubs are costly, but the
renter does not put out new ones, nor
take care of those already on the farm.
The renter leads an aimless, unsettled
life. He has no definite end in view,
and works in a haphazard, hit or miss
fashion. and it usually turns out miss.
The buyer knows just what he must
do, and makes each day bring him
nearer the goal of his ambition. Half
of the secret of success lies in having
a definite aim and the other in unceas-
ing toil.-G I. tombstone, in N. Y. Trib-
uue.

of the forest were getting a.ongi it was
discovered that one of them was loose.
The door of the car was hastily closed,
and the express people were then con.
fronted with the ticklish proposition
of how to get his majesty back into
his cage. AT last a German who had
been in the employ of the company a
long time volunteered to enter the
car. Armed with a large club he sue
ceeded in chasing the lion to a corner,
and the animal was finally imprisoned
again. This, remarkable to state, was

Method of Forwarding and Deliver

EST in this line, states the Detroit Free
Press. Nine-tenths of the packages
SEM out by express, he says, are gath
cred by the drivers, who are required
to issue a receipt for each package, ex-
cept in the case of large firms, for
which a list of the packages is entered
upon a large book. After the pack
ages are collected they are taken to
the depot Office of the company, and
there each package is put over the
scales and weighed. An employe
known as the caller calls off the pack

then loaded on trucks and put into the

is that of sorting the way bills in the

back by the driver. Then a postal card
is mailed to the consignee, and if it is
a G. o. D. package, the shipper as well
as the consignee is notified.
The tracing of lost packages is an
interesting phase of the business.
When packages are lost it is usually
due to carelessness in marking. All
