the fight. The city should cut of the
site lights, cause the Hercules peo-
pie to comply with stipulations IN
franchise and conform to ordinances,
and then the city should go ahead
about its business as though the Her
cules people do not exist. The city
can, must and will win out in this
electric light tight--it cannot afford
to be swamped, nor need II suffer
itself to be spat upon. Let each move
of the city council be characterized
by careful investigation and business
like transaction and when the time
comes for fight with the Hercules
people the citizens will stand bv the
city. They could not afford to do less,
and there will be no disposition to
do less. There need be no serious con-
Germ felt at the present status OF az
fairs. Clouds may boon the horizon and
others may gather, but the light OF
the city plant itself will touch with
golden lining these harbingers OF
storm and disaster, and before sue
cess fears will melt away into praises
and rejoicing.

Amen! Amen!

Every young lady who can possibly
do so should take the course In domes-
tic science and art at the Agricultural
college of Utah. Contrary to an i'm
preston that is too prevalent, the
course does not consist in washing
dishes and pairing potatoes. All Of
culture that may be obtained in any
scientific course in other colleges is in
cluded in the domestic science course
at the Agricultural college. The girls
study English literature, chemistry,
botany, Horticulture, history and
languages, and in addition they learn
the science of food stutfs, and the art
of preparing them. They also learn
the art of dressmaking and of home
adornment. In fact, the course Is
one that gives true culture to the fu-
ture homemakers of Utah, and Is the
best instruction girl can possibly re-
ceive-Intermountain Farmer.

Economy.

Economy may be an old subject, but
the loose change which many people,
especially young men, throw away
would often form basis for business
and perhaps fortune, and leads to
our touching upon the subject. When
money is recklessly spent it is not
merely the pecuniary loss that is to be
considered but the extravagant and
expensive habits that have been ac.
quired, as well. Perhaps, too there is
ruined character to be considered.
A young man who observes economy,
coupled with industry and sobriety,
has better capital to start business
than the young man who is a profit
gate OF rich heritage. One is max
ing the best OF the elements that sur
round him, making something out Of
nothing, and perhaps laying founda-
ton to leave a legacy to some that
may follow him, while the other, the
spendthrift. squanders that which may
have been left him through the frugal
ity of his ancestry.
Stinginess, when 1t comes down to
rags and starvation. Is to be despised.
1T is not the duty OF man to become
As cold as an iceberg toward his fellow
creatures, even denying himself every
pleasure and enjoyment through life
for the sole purpose Of becoming rich,
but there Is a certain kind OF economy
that is commendable. People should
live within their earnings, and let
their expenditures be in keeping with
their incomes. If persons live beyond
this limit, 1t Is self-evident that they
are not living upon their own money,
but that of Others. 1t Is duty in
cumbent upon all men, II they wish to
be good citizens and respected by the
community in which they live, to not
only live up to, but within their
means. People are often ruined by
what they think they need, not by
those things they actually want. The
old maxium: IF man buys what he
does not want he will soon want what
he can not buy" is good one and
still holds.
Simple industry and economy with
the most common people will make
them comparatively independent.
Save every nicHie: it looks small but
nickels makes dimes, and dimes make
dollars, and so on. II man will allow
his pennies to slip through his fingers
for needless things he will find that
his life Is but an animal drudgery, On

A gentleman whose truth and verac-
ity is seldom, If ever, questioned, states
that he knows minors frequent GER
tain saloons in this city, and has rea-
son to believe that they secure liquor.
He is in position to know what he
is talking about, but is not In a posi-
ton to know more about IL than the
police officials. Another gentleman
prominently identified with the busl-
ness interests of this city states that
he knows gambling is carried on in
this city, for he has seen 1t, and has
reason to believe that it continues.
The editor OF this paper knows that
gambling is carried on in this city,
and yet has not gone out Of his daily
walks. The inference In these as
sertions Is, that the officials also
ought to know of these things, and
knowing Of these things should apply
the law. THE REPUBLICAN has no
desire to critic the city police Off
Gals; they have always treated us
with every consideration, but as an
advocate of morality we cannot fail to
urge matters upon the attention of
the officials and the people.

The Journals assertion that boys
are making swimming pool of the
reservoir at the head Of the city water
works system Is a serious matter and
should be properly investigated. Ac-
cording to a communication which is
published in another column, Water
master Holt says he has visited that
place twice a day for some time and has
seen no evidence of boys having been
there, and states further that such a
state of affairs as charged by The
Journal has never been reported to
him. The communication also alleges
that the matter has never been
brought to the attention OF Marshal
Crockett, and that he knows nothing
of It. Mr.. Holt further states that
he does not believe the Journals as
sertion. Until that paper gives more
definite information, it is but fair and
reasonable that cenSure OF anyone
should be withheld. The Journal
should be given an opportunity TO
prove what it says. III ii does so,then
let the censure come justly upon the
ones who are guilty of permitting such
a state OF affairs. II il can not do 50,
let the censure fall upon the paper
which has villiticd officials who have
done their duty.

Irrigation Congress.

The Eleventh National Irrigation
Congress, which meets in Ogden, Utah,
September 18th to 18th, 1908, will wit
ness struggle unknown outside the
United States Senate and Congress.
The United States Government has In
the treasury over ten million dollars,
which has been appropriated and set
aside for the purpose of retaining
the arid lands of the West. This
great sum of money, as well as all
future receipts from the sales Of the
public lands Of the sixteen arid states
and territories, can be used only for
the storage Of water by the erection
of reservoirs and dams and the de-
yeloping OF water supplies by artesian
wells and drain tunnels, and the con-
serving in other ways OF water for the
reclamation of lands In the arid West,
which is defined by the irrigation law
as including the following states:
Arizona, California, Oregon, Wash

Behind various business houses in
this city there are accumulations of
paper and rubbish that are dangerous,
and should be removed. Some boy or
drunken man might inadvertently
set fire to some portion of this debris
and the result is a matter of question.
We understand that the Marshal has
spoken to the business men several
times about this matter, but promises
to remedy conditions have not been
fulfilled. IL now seems time for an
example to be made of some OF those
who refuse to do what public safety
and protection of property demands.
There need be no consideration in the
matter-take up the violators and tine
them, and If The REPUBLICAN is
found to be an offender we stand ready
to take our medicine with the rest.

The States Opportunity.

The National Irrigation Congress
to be held at Ogden, September 18th
to 18th, inclusive, an official call for
which is published in another column,
is destined to be one OF the most not
able gatherings held liz the West
during recent years. Utah as the
hostage and one of the states most
vitally interested in the subject TO be
discussed should leave nothing un-
done that will tend to make the &C.
casion of the greatest benefit and
most enjoyable to everyone concerned.
Representative men from all parts
of the United states will be in at
tendance and State pride should
prove an incentive to uutiring effort.
Let these men understand that Utah
is hit to be counted with great states.
This is the one great opportunity Of
fered TO the state to leave good I'M
preston on men OF influence and
power throughout the Union and the
opportunity should not be neglected.
Let Salt Lake and Ogden bury the
animosity that so frequently creeps
out, and NAV the two cities work in
harmony and for the best results.
Let the State from st. George on the
south TO Franklin in the north be
up and doing, and Cache county can
not afford to do less than her share.
This county is entitled to from Is to
30 delegates and these should be
selected at an early date. Those
chosen should be from the most en-.
lightened' men of the county, and
especially from among those most
sincerely interested in the irrigation.
Let Cache county be represented
strongly and in such way as to force
itself upon the attention Of the Con-
gress. Some Of the visitors, il not the
entire body, will come to Logan to in
spect the Agricultural College, and
such an event should be looked for
ward to with much interest and con-
siderable preparation.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
The Journal in its issue of the 3Oth
inst. makes political capital Of
the action OF the Hercules power
company, and spreads its frogwings
about what prudent" man would
do. AS matter Of fact prudent man
never crosses a bridge until he gets to
1t. How does the little 2x4 quill
pusher know what the Republican
business-like administration has up
its sleeve. Many prudent man has
had trouble because ofenvy and greed,
yet because he was established upon a
solid foundation he has come out of it
o. X. We would advise our friend to
retain his spleen until the proper time
comes, and not be so premature. Be
little more consistent, show by your
example that you have some concep-
tion of the word prudent"

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,


AS the city election Is drawing near,
our selfrighteous Democratic bag pipe
is tuning up bit. In its last issue 1t
holds up to the public the horrible
indeccncy of befowling the water by
Logan youths bathing In the reservoir
at the head Of the Logan waterworks.
II any citizen Of Logan has ever seen
anyone battle In said reservoir, why
did they not inform the proper author
tiles? The watcrmaster states en-
phatically that he does not believe
anything Of the kind has been going
on. He says that he visits the place
twice day, and never saw any sign
whatever of bathing there, and moth
ing about the place has been disturb
ed by boys. He stays sometimes two
or three hours up there in the after
noon and he has never observed any
thing Of the kind. No complaint has
ever been entered to the watermaster
or city marshall about II, so we must
conclude H. Is great big political
bugaboo.

If reports are to be relied upon, the
recent school election in Newton pre-
cinct was not conducted as strictly In
accordance with law as it might have
been. Certain irregularities were in
dulged in that. would cause trouble If
anyone felt inclined to push the matter.
However there is no such disposition
manifest, and IL Is merely suggested
that officials should conform to law in
the future, even though the election
be considered Of little consequence.

Even a working man possessed OF
saving disposition can do much good
to Others by the example he sets. Econ
omy, If strictly observed, will teach
us to place everything to the best ad

We believe there are many laboring
men, who with their wives observe
this principle and enjoy themselves far
more than those who live In palatial
residences and practice prodigality
and high life.

The spirit of the present aye Is to live

are carried away with pride to such an
extent that it reaches beyond all rea-

incomes are greater than your own. As
far as this point is concerned, you and
your family must be world to your
selves. In your outlay, do not try to
initiate those who are far above you,
but rather remain in your own class;

The liQht Middle.

The latest move of the Hercules
company. that of raising their canyon
dam to such IA hight that the water
will food the cite OF the city plant,
has aroused the citizens pretty thor
oughly and there Is general ex-
preston to the effect that the cOun-
Gil should cut out all street lights, Or
der the Hercules company to place its
wires to the height designated In its
franchise, and to conform to the Or
dinance requiring the use Of insulated
wires. 1t is argued that the Her.
cules people have acted In a generally
high handed manner in all their deal
ings with the city, and their evident
disposition now is put the city to as
much trouble and expense as is pos
sble. The citizens naturally feel in
dignant and are willing to suffer the
Inconvenience of unlighted streets
rather than pay the Hercules Co. s240
a month to be used in fight against
the city.
The REPUBLICAN believes that such
move is the proper thing and a
rather extended canvass Of business
men and citizens generally leads to
the belief that the city council will
have the support of large majority
Of Loganites should that body decide
to do as suggested In the above para
graph. s24O Il month means $3.50 a
year, more than enough to pay the
interest on the $4,000 borrowed
money-and any move to save this
sum Is well worthy of consideration.
A dark town isn't very pleasant
thing to contemplate, and the dark
ness may offer some protection to the
criminal class, but as one prominent
citizen expressed 1t: II would rather
that the $240 spent for street lights be
spent for additional police protec-
tion than given to corporation
that has shown the city 50 little con-
sideraiion so far, and which intends
in the future to fight the city to a
finish. We have done without lights
before and while our tastes have been
cultivated little, still we can again
get along without lights" This Is a
view entertained by many.
AS to making the Hercules company
comply with provisions in regard to
height and insulation Of wires, this
might seem to come In the way OF re-
taliation, but II need not be so con.
sidered. In the franchise granted the
company is clause STIMULATING the
hight Of wires and that they shall be
insulated, and If the city chooses to
enforce this part OF the contract, as
ordinances demand, it simply comes
as plain business proposition. The
contract is such and the law reads So
and-so-and both should be carried
out
No one will doubt for o single in
slant that the Hercules people ex-
pect to put up the strongest fight pos
sible from this time on. They can
not hope to do more than incon-
venience the city and cause litigation
and unnecessary delay, and make the
city plant as expensive as possible, yet
they will in all probability do this,
and they should be met halfway in

II Mr.. Walters cared to make reply
to Citizen" in reference to being City
Attorney and Attorney for the Her
culcs Power Co., he could truthfully
Say that he has not written a paper or
given an opinion for the Hercules peo-
pie since his election as City Attor-
ncy, and that while nominally the at
torney for both he has served but one,
and that one the city. Mr.. Bacon,
recognizing Mr.. Walters position, has
had all the Hercules law business
done by Salt Lake attorneys since the
lattcr's election. We get this from
both Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Walters, and
anyone acquainted with these gentle
men will readily accept the word OF
either. II Mr.. Walters cared to make
further statement nc could also truth
fully say that neither the mayor nor
council has consulted him in regard to
the validity Of canyon claims, etc,
and that only with in the last week has
he been requested to look into the mat
ter. Mr.. Walters could also state that he
has done twice the work of any other
city attorney and probably been less
appreciated, We know positively that
Mr.. Walters would object to any de-
Tense being made in his behalf and that
he himself would probably make no de.
Tense II the matter were brought to
an issue before the council -- but we
believe an injustice has been done a
Straightforward, honest man and that
the people should know II.

The construction OF the pavilion on
the tabernacle square by the Thacther
Orchestra, appears TO meet the APP
proval Of the people in general, II the
patronage accorded the new depart
ure is criterion. In the summer
season outdoor dancing Is far more
enjoyable than in a building, and
since dancing furnishes greater por-
tion OF the pleasure in this vicinity, it
is well that the same be done under
the most favorable conditions and 1t
seems that this pavilion furnishes all
the conditions necessary to the highest
sense Of morality and insures the safe
ty from insult and temptation that
may may be portion Of dancing pa
valionS located less publicly. Parents
recognize this and many have express
ed themselves as preferring their sons
and daughters to patronize the new
pavilion. This Is as 1t should be, and
the idea Is to be heartily commended.
The REPUBLICAN has no personal in
terest in booming any individual en-,
terprise, and in referring in this way
to the advantages of the new pavilion
it is only because the matter concerns
the whole people. We all want the
boys and girls surrounded with every
protection possible, and since this en-.
terprise furnishes it, give it your sup
port,
