compelled to earn his own living, As a
mere youth he went to Colorado and
there clerked In a store. In 1882 he
went to San Antonio, Socorro county,

Mrs. Coulter, the one lady member
of the House, Is going after what she
believes to be Irregularities in election
methods and among other bills offere d
presents one in which Section 2 reads
as follows: "That no political party,
committee, organization or associa-
tion shall, for the purpose of promot-
ing the election or any candidate or
candidates, or in support of or in
opposition to any measure submitted
to popular vote, hire, furnish, pay for
or agree to pay for or provide carriages
or other means of transportation for
the purpose of bringing voters to the
polls or to any place ofregistration for
the purpose of registration, except In
cases where such voters from age,
sickness or other physical disability
are unable to go to the p oils or place
of registration, as the case may be,
without such transportation being
furnished" Should this bill become
a law and an enforced one, there would
hardly be enough votes cast to make
1T worth while to hold an election.

THE NEWSPAPER,

Speaking of what a newspaper does
for community, United States Sena-
tor Davis of Illinois, made an address
that remains ever green in the men,
cries OF newspaper men. He said:
every year every local paper gives
from 800 to 5000 free lines for the
benefit of the community in which it
Is located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor in proper
tion to his means does more for his
town than any other man, and in all
fairness, man with man, he ought to
be supported-not because you hap
hen to like him or admire his writing
but because local paper is the best
investment community can make.
1t may not be crowded with great
thoughts, but financially, it is of more
benefit than both preacher and
teacher. Today editors do more for
less pay than any other men on earth.
Patronize your home paper, not as
but as an investment"

biting, jealousy and disparagement
among doctors than among any other

The Crib" is against the bill max
ing insanity cause for divorce, and in
its discussion of the matter mentions
sentiment" The Tribune man may
be of such a makeup as to see the
sentiment in living with a demented
woman, or awaiting her return from
Provo as cured, but we cannot. From
what we have seen, we judge that
there are many women not accredited
as being demented with whom it is
almost impossible to live, and we
hardly believe that when our dearly
beloved becomes mon compes mcntis"
that our sentiment will be much over
the boiling point. We do believe that
the husband should be willing to make
the proper provision for her, but can
see no reason why he should not be
granted a divorce If he wants one.

The present lessees of THE REPUB-
LICAN' contend that with even half
united support, this paper can and
will become such paper as is desired

In such a half hearted way that the
editor must do the work now done on
the Journal by Marshall, Gordon,
Fullmer, the foreman i'm the mechani-
cal department, besides taking care
of a job business, then there is little
opportunity for the paper to advance.

can merchants is far short of what it
should be, and while we have done

refute the ISLANDERS offered by papers
of opposite faith. If THE REPUBLI-
CAN Is not the medium through which
these things will be done, will you
please tell us the paper in this county,
under the present status, that will
do so?
We do not desire to be boastful. but
let us have your undivided support
and we will give you paper that has
never been surpassed in this county;
but dear friends we can't do it as long
as the men at the head of the concern
must run the job press and set type in

TO REPUBLICANS.

Since the first issue Of this paper in
September up to the present time,
there has been series of complica-
tions and unfavorable circumstances
surrounding its continued publication
that have not only tried the patience
of men who have been interested in it,
but it has tried their staying qualities
as well. 1t is not our disposition to
relate our troubles to the public in
general, but to the Republicans Of
this county we have somewhat to
say.
In the first place, it seems that
many of the G.. 0. p. do not appear to
understand what the maintenance Of
this paper means to the Republican
party. They have been showed under,
spat upon and had 1t rubbed in so
long and so often that in their first
flush of victory the party as whole
seems to be bewildered. There seems
to be feeling of apathy, failure to
grasp the reins properly, lack of
knowledge as to how the reins may be
manipulated to the best advantage
and to the eternal glorification and
success Of the party. THE REPUPLI-
CAN has had this apathetic spirit mani
tested toward it, and we cannot but
feel that this Indifference towards us
is not as it should be. The value to
any party of a tirst-class, live up-to-date
paper Is hard to estimate, but we
know that successful politicians out
side of Utah recognize the local paper
as the most potent factor in the polit-
ical situation. Although the Logan
Journal has never been all that a
newspaper in this county could
and should be, yet there is not a
Democrat in the county who Calls to
recognize its worth to the party in
days gone bye, and there are few
Republicans who have not felt its
sting. There is no reason why the
Republican party of Cache county
should not have better paper by far,
a paper with an influence that reaches
into every corner of this county, and a
paper that could do great things for
the party In its times of need.
