representative Hall deserves consid-

Representative Hall deserves consid-
cradle credit for looking after our
road interests as carefully as he has.
After waiting in vain for petition
from Cache county citizens asking
for an appropriation of $500, on We'd
nesday he filed a request for such consid-
Grafton. Wednesday was the last day
for such petition to be made without
q two-thirds majority of the members
of the House, and Hall decided to get
the application in ere it was too late.
We understand that our commission
ers have agreed to duplicate any
amount appropriated for roads in this
county. If we get $500 from the
state this means that $1,000 will be
spent on Cache county roads In the
near future, an amount that should
make an excellent showing If eX-
pended economically in the right
direction. Why the merchants of
Logan can not see it TO their advant-
age to duplicate the entire amount
given by both county and state
is puzzler TO those who have
viewed the situation from all sides.
With roads i'm condition for the citi-
zens Of the settlements to reach Logan
at anytime during the year, the aggre-
gate business of Logan's merchants
would be increased not less than
$4,000 year.

The action of the County Commits
sioners in agreeing to spend certain
amount of money on the roads of the
county is thoroughly commendable
attitude and in strict accord with the
platform on which they were elected.
1t also shows that the people as a
whole are bringing pressure to bear
for the construction OF good roads,
realizing that money wisely expended
for this purpose is sure to return.
Good roads, like good streets, make
habitation along them most desirable.
They economic time and force in
transportation Of products, reduce
wear and tear oh horses, harness and
vehicles and enhance the market
value Of real estate. They raise the
value of farm lands and farm products
and tend to beautify the country
through which they pass. They
facilitate rural mail delivery and are
a potent aid to education, religion and
sociability. Cache Valley is natura
ly one Of the most beautiful spots in
the U. 5. but it can never be all that
it might be until its citizens become
aggressively progressive. Good roads
is one of the first steps in the right
direction.

For Law and Order

The Traces at dance in Hyrum a
few days ago, in which a murder was
attempted and the dance broken up,
and the recent scrap at Mendon in
which the Marshal of our neigpboring
town was badly hurt in trying to keep
order, shows condition of affairs that
should not exist in county of such
civilization as Cache.
From these and other reports it
seems that there is lawless element
in practically every settlement of the
county that insists on running the
dances in utter defiance Of law and
good order. This is an outrage and
disgrace and should not be tolerated.:
and it need not be tolerated If the
proper people will but take the matter
in hand with determination to come
out victors.
The public dance is the one great
source of pleasure in this country, and
the majority Of young people who at
tend these dances pay for their tickets
and are willing to conform to the
rules of law and order. 1t is indeed
reprehensible that the pleasure Of the
majority should be destroyed by one
or two hoodlums whose highest ambi-
tion seems to be to have the reputa-
tion Of being table to run the dances. f"
In law-abiding community this
should not and must not prevail.
We would respectfully suggest that
at the different dance halls i'm the
county, committee of three good,
muscular men be appointed for the
preservation of order. Let these men
be Of sober judgment, kind but firm,
and ready to give the medicine that will
effect cure. With the first attempt
at an outbreak let them nip it in the
bud, and when man becomes drunk
en- and profane let them do the one
and only thing necessary. AT such
times Sunday school sermons are not
in order, and should not be INDUCED
in. A law-breaker is law-breaker and
a worse one at a dance than most any
where else, so give him what he deser.
yes and teach him a lesson. 1t Will
take only a demonstration or two at
different places to make this lawless
element understand its place, and will
go far towards making the dances
places of real pleasure. We are in sup
port of the laws and believe in compul-
sorry adherence to them if necessary, let
the cost be what it may. Arrest and
fine HEAVILY every diSturber OF the
peace, wherever he may create his dis
turbance, and the hoOdlum ploposi-
ton will be solved.

Bad For Beavers.

New York.-Two decisions in the
Ease of George w. Beavers, the in
licted postal official, were handed
down by Judge Holt in the United
States district court. In one of the
applications of Beavers to have United
States District Attorney Young of
Brooklyn and Miss Amy Rem, his
Itenographer, punished for disobeying
subpoena by Commissioner Hitch
cook, is denied. Judge Holt held that
the commissioners authority to issue
subpoena was without force, the
subpoena having not been endorsed
by judge of the district court. The
application for a writ of habeas corpus
and certiorari asked in behalf of
Beavers on the second charge against
him based on the Washington indict
ment is granted and the arrest is va
eated. The JUICE holds that second
arrest made on the Washington indict-
ment when Beavers was already in
court on the Brooklyn Indictment was
illegal.
If this decision is applicable to the
other three Washington indictments it
will result IN his arrest on all four in
aictments by the decision of the fed
oral court of Few York on proceedings
In Brooklyn on the Indictment. This
indictment alleged that Beavers con-
Ipired with congressman briggs and
the officials of the Brandt-Dent Man
afacturing Company to defraud the
postal department through the sale of
automatic cashiers. Beavers had been
arrested in the New York district on
. bench warrant calling for his re-
moval to the Brooklyn district on this
Indictment. He had demanded exami-
nation here and had given bail when
ne was again arrested on q warrant

ment. At first he demanded examina.
hon and gave bail but later his surety

The ground that his simultaneous re-
noval to Brooklyn and Washington
was impossible.

rants for removal" said Judge Holt,

obvious that such orders should not
