for Good Roads.

The last Legislature appropriated
81 800 to be used on the roads in this
county between Wellsville in the
south and Richmond in the north, pro-
vided that the Cache county commits
sioners appropriate an equal amount
for the same purpose, making $1,000 in
all. The question may be asked, or
the proposition considered, as to the
best way of spending this money. Con-
sidering the extensive amount of road
building that must be done in this
county sooner or later, would it not
be wise right now, to lay foundation
for road building that would be of some
permanency, having in view other
roads than the one from Wellsville to
Richmond. There is county road
rom Logan to Benson, Newton and
Charleston in the west, twenty miles;
from the boundary line in the north
by Franklin, to Welsvile i'm the south
Is about twenty-seven miles, making a
total of forty-Seven miles OF road that
needs gravel hauled upon it., with the
possible exception of six or seven miles
on which some work has been done. On
these two thoroughfareS, one running
north and south and the other east
and west through the valley there is
at least forty miles of road to build,
not mentioning other roads that need
attention. How long will it take to
build up these roads by hauling gravel
in wagons? This question of road
building assumes a phase at the pres
ent time that needs serious consider
alton. The county is wealthy and
populouS and is spreading out in COM
mercial enterprises which will be re-
| tarded to some extent If our roads are
not placed in a better condition. We
| find no fault as to what has been done
but feel that right now this question
should be handled in way that will
be in keeping with the magnitude of
the work before us. AS before stated
in these columns we believe the county
should procure, either by renting or
buying, narrow guage engine, cars and
rails,and lay temporary tracks through
this county from the different gravel
beds that can be secured If, however,
it should be considered by the comfy
court that time is too short to adopt
the above methods this year, in order
to repair the roads between Wellsville
and Richmond, negotiate with the
railroad COMPANY to haul gravel by the
train load from a gravel bed the coun-
ty owns by the side of the railroad
track south of Merrills' creamery. Let
a temporary track be laid up one of
the field roads near David Carson's
farm between Richmond and Smith
field, then have poll tax teams haul
the gravel where it is needed. In the
south, towards Wellsville have a tenn
porary track laid from the sugar fact
DRY south, for mile or two and then
do the same as in the north. We be-
lieye either of these methods would be
approved by the people If this mon
ey is consumed by the gravel being
hauled by teams it will not go very
far and in the course of two or three
years, it will hardly be seen where the
work has been done. These lines are
offered as kind suggestions, having in
view the best interests of the people.

An eiTusion from the fertile brain Of
DR.. Phillips Of Wellsville, in which
this institution is knocked down,
dragged out and spat upon in a
''shockingly rude and insolent man
ner," has at last come to very small
portion of the public through the
columns of the Nation. Hidden as it
is in the obscurity and oblivion which
has recently fallen upon this One-time
mighty Nation, the article is really de-
serving Of but very little attention
and in referring to the matter at all
we are but serving the DR.. in his vain
attempt to get the matter before the
bulk of the Republican voters of the
county. Even now we have but a
single statement and suggestion to
make-tirst chat the chairman of the
central committee, although bellev-
ing that Republican road supervisor
should have been appointed in Wells
vile, did not and does not, sanction
the effort that is being made to force
matters. Second, the DR.. has engaged
in personalities that do not usually
come from a gentleman, and inaSmuch
as our genial friend is hardly out Of
the woods, it might be more consist
ent for him to calm himself. If the
DR.. or any Of the committee has a
fight with this institution, and will
come over to Logan we will have il
out In an upstairs room.

The citizens of this country as
whole will heartily agree with the ex.
preston of a prominent man who said
"The American navy today in It's ma,
terial and personnel, man for man, ton
for ton and gun for gun, has no equal
on the face of the globe. II is true
that there are larger and heavier ma
yies i'm tons and personnel, but If the
navy of the future will continue to
grow as the navy of the past has
grown the United States navy will
never have to change its standing of
efficiency, which had its beginning in
the first few purchased vessels antedat-
ing the war of the Revolution. 1t is
simply a matter of dollars and cents.
AS we have the largest population
of any nation in the world, cosmopol-
itan in character; from which to draw
officers and men and the greatest
wealth with which to pay bills, our
internal wealth gives us not only pow
er to build vessels, but the ability to
them on the seas longer than
any other nation on the globe"

81 pounds, a little over SO per cent
while tea dropped from 1.39 pounds to
"a pound, decrease of nearly 48 per
cent. The record for 1902 represents
per capita expenditure for stimu-
lants Of sl7.33 for the 79,OO3, 900 inhab-
itants of the United States, or Al cents
per day. The users of alcoholic stimu-
lants are estimated to form one-fourth
of the total population. on which
basis the per capita cost Of alcoholic
beverages is s69.32, or 10 cents per
day.
The American Grocer concludes
from its computations that "the
American people are temperate in the
use of stimulants and that they are
not increasing their use of such as
tend to debase manhood, increase our
taxes, promote pauperism or stimu-
late crime" However, it will prob
ably not be gain-said that we would
be better Off in 'mind, body and
estate" if we spent annually somewhat
less than s1,173,5 ,235 for alcoholic
beverages.

Many persons are saying that the
United States could, with profit, cut
down the immigration from eastern
and southern Europe. 1t is noticed,
however, that the demand for labor
ers in the great activities of the West
keep ahead of the supply. Farm
hands inncarly all the states west Of the
Mississippi are far short of the quota
needed, and crops have suffered in the
past two or three years as a conse-
quencc. Some Objectionable persons
get into the country these days, not
withstanding the barriers supposed to
have been erected against them by
law, but there is room enough for all
the Industrious and worthy persons
who come. While Uncle Sam may no
longer be rich enough to give us all a
farm, he is prosperous in these days OF
Republican activity to give employ.

A Board of Trade.

Why is it that the business men of
Logan cannot see the advantage in Or
ganizing a board of trade, chamber of
commerce, social club or some other
organization whereby they could get
together and discuss matters pertain
ing to the building up of the city? AS
the matter stands at present there is
no unity, there has never been deter
mined effort made along any line for
the advancement of the city, and as a
result its growth has been SLOW The
improvement during the past three to
five years has been very great and
should be and is the source of great
deal Of satisfaction, but through well
organized board of trade, the same
could have been accomplished years
ago, and more could be accomplished
in another year than has been accom-
pliShed In the past ten.
a board Of trade could force a good
roads system, a thing that is rapidly be-
coming necessary if Logan is to keep
the trade of the outlying towns The
condition Of the roads at certain times
OF the year, make it necessary for the
smaller towns away Off in the valley to
put in mercantile houses of sufficient
capacity to supply their every want,
and as the citizens of these towns
come to the knowledge that it is a
waste of time and money to drive TO
Logan for everything they want, they
will cease to come here and Logan
merchants will lose thousands of dol
lars. This can be ayerted, and the
trade increased by a systematic and
determined effort, This paper does

A beautiful tribute was paid to the
American people by Admiral Dewey,
when he said: every man in the
United States navy is man of intel
ligence. lie knows just what to do
and the time to do it," lie might
have added that he would do it,.
While primarily the boquet is thrown
at the navy, the whole people can take
it to themselves. The men in the navy
come from the ranks of the American
people, and as a stream cannot rise
above its source, SO the seamen are nc
better than their progenitors. Amer
lea is truely the home of the free and
the brave. Its mothers and wives and
daughters are the truest and sweetest
in the world and its fathers and
husbands and sons are the bravest and
most chivalrous. The American is a
people who love justice, truth and
liberty; who have confidence in them
selves and in their country and who
are living a monument to the trueism
that men are capable of governing
themselves. a people with these
attributes is i'm no immediate danger
of either race suicide or politica
decay.

Admiral Dewey says he meant no re-
Election on Germany when he said that
our navy could whip the German navy.
lie merely took German as an illustra-

other navy Just as easily. Germany

Punishment for Wife Beaters.

The merits of the whipping post
for wife heaters are once more under
discussion in New York state. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, while in the legisla-
ture several ears ago, made a strenu-
Gus effort to provide this method of
dealing with cruel husbands. After
he had collected authenticated rec
ords showing the astonishing preva-
lence Of this cowardly practice, he
proposed a bill providing for the re-
vival of the whipping post for wife
heaters only" The measure was de.
feated, the argument being that Of
the revival of such punishment would
be return to barbarous methods.

TREASON, ANARCHY, SOCIALISM
A Republican Postmaster's Ideas of Which

In one of Upham Adams articles de-
scribing the three citizens OF Lincoln
willie occurs the following from the
republican postmaster:

onel Monroe, pulling his chair UP to
the FIRE and passing his cigar case to
Judge Sawyer. HAS the sale OF
stamps fallen off or a money order
gone astray?"
TITS Flanagan, declared the post
master.
"Flannagan? What's Flanagan
done now?"
"Flannagan's the head brakeman on
No. 81" explained Jenkins, noting
the puzzled look on Judge Sawyer's
face. He was in here just before you
came. Flannagan's an ungrateful dog
If there is one. He showed me his
pay envelope. His wages have been
Increased 10 per cent. Last month he
got $50, this month he gets $66. Ev-
eryone but the conductors have been
raised-engineers, firemen, brakemen,
switchmen, and yardmen. Now what
do you suppose Flanagan said?'
Never could guess in the world, ,
returned Colonel Monroe. What did
he say?"
"He said he oughter been raised ten
years ago." declared Postmaster Jenk-
ins, dropping the red hot poker on the
zinc. I'D raise him if he was work
ing for me! There's gratitude for
you! l told him right to his face that
he'd been long time in Ireland be-
fore he got $50 month, say nothing
of $66. On top of it all Flanagan
says the company didn't raise their
pay because they loved them, but be-
cause it knew they were ready tC
strike. He brags that their union
brought the railroad to time. I'd like
to be railroad president, and see any
union bring me to time! / tell you
unions are running this country. Yes
sir, running it! Things have come tt
a pretty pass when men like Flanna
