A few days ago, clerk in the Gov
eminent census department at Wash
ington threw an inkstand at what he
supposed was an ordinary "pussy cat"
Instead, the animal proved to be of
the pole-cat variety, and sorry to re-
late the inkstand struck the cat. AS
a result, the employees Of the depart
ment had two days vacation while
the room was fumigated. This calls
to mind that in harping on certain
financial conditions, the local expon-
ent OF Democracy is throwing ink in
such a way that pole-cat may be
struck, and should that happen, there
Is going to be more than a two days
lay-off on the part Of lions Demo-
crazy.

Good Roads.

Striking proof of the benefits to be
derived by the farmers through the
betterment Of rural highways was Of
fered the other day at a good roads
meeting composed of the residents of
several townships in Bucks county, in
Pennsylvania. The townships records
were produced to show that at the
present time the amount of money
raised by taxation and available for
local improvements is more than one
third larger than IL was few years

The report that the damage to corn
is smaller than was feared is some
thing that will give pleasure to the
country. Corn is Americas imperial
crop. 1t counts for more than cotton,
wheat, hay or any of the country's
other big products. A reduction of
the yield, of course, might not mean
reduction in the amount which the
farmer would receive for it. 1t would
mean an advance in price which
would bring the cost up to a higher
point for the consumer. The present
outlook is that the crop will 60 the
1000, 900, 0OO-bushel mark at least, and
that line has not been passed many
times. A good corn crop would be a
vast benefit TO the country, and the
chances still are that the yield will
be up TO the average Of the past few
years.

HE REPUBLICAN does not depre-
cate Socialism. Instead, it believes
In phases of Socialism and believes
that the present active movement will
result In great good. 1t will cause
the old parties, both Republican and
Democratic, to inspect their founda-
lions and see that they are built on
solid ground, Political parties, like
individuals sometimes get careless
and sloyenly if not stirred up OCCASION
ally, and in this instance the Social
list party will serve as the spur. The
many good things the Socialistic
doctrine possesses which can be put
into successful operation will be
adopted by the other parties and the
Socialist organization will go the way
Of the Greenbackers, the Farmers
Alliance, the Populists, and Belya
Lockwood. The Social problem is the
great problem before the American
people today and while IL is being con-
sidered by capable men the country
over, 1t is being agitated by fanatics
and extremists. This is true of any
great reform movement, and II il were
possible for the Socialists 10 come in.

ElFrom the best information at our
command, the prospects for the beet
growers this year are exceedingly
bright, likewise the Sugar Factory.
1t is thought that the $500 acres of
beets planted this year will equal the
yield of that of last year, when 5000
acres were planted. A further eSti-
mate is made as to the average tom
mage per acre in the different local.
tiles. and the average yield will be
about as follows: Hyde Park IA tons,
Hyrum II tons, Lewiston IL tons,
Wellsville 10 tons, College 10 tons,
Logan is up to the average while
Richmond, Milvile, Preston, Fair
view and Whitney are considerably
under the average, the last three
places being somewhat short of water.
Considering the beet product as a
whole, the farmers are to be congrat-
ulated upon the prospective returns
for their summers work. If
the general average amounted
to ten tons per acre this would mean
as gross receipts $40 per acre. We
again emphasize the fact that the
beet culture is the business for Cache
valley farmers to follow on irrigated
land, for the beets do not impoverish.
Instead the tops and refuse left
serve as fertilizer for the
coming year. We again urge the
farmers to subsoil their land, get
down deep in this falls blowing and
let the frost act upon the soil. Land
in the spring will be pulverizcd and
in fine shape. Farmers with large
families especially should stay by this

GlIbert's Sophlstry.

The assumption Of Mr.. Gilbert tina,
the failure of members of his audience
to argue Socialism with him is PROOF
of consent to that doctrine, Is so false
us to be ridiculous, nor will intelligent
men believe that his arguments are
unanswerable simply because when
challenged that audience remained
mute. There are many reasons why
men in that audience sat silent when
asked to interrogate the speaker, not
the least of which is the knowledge
that Mr.. Gilbert could make them
appear foolish. Every question
propounded by either Mr.. Thatcher
or Mr.. Langton, or any other question
they or anyone else in that audience
could have presented had been sub
mitted to the speaker many times in
his career and he was thoroughly
prepared. lie is public speaker,
skilled in debate, and his readiness to
answer proves his familiarity with
questions usually raised rather than
the soundness of the entire structure.
1t would have been manifestly unfair
for the questioner to enter into argu-
ment with the speaker. Others sat
silent with questions on their lips
only because they realized that to ask
them must involve themselves and
the speaker in discussion Of inter-
minable length, and which In few
minutes time could not be brought to
a satisfactory conclusion to either the
speaker, the questioner, or the audi
ence.
Those who are wavcring between
Socialism and some other ism should
not be led astray because of an APP
pearance that the Socialistic doctrine
Is unanswerable. 1t Is answerable,
and there are various phases of the
doctrine as presented by Mr.. Gilbert
that is wholly false and can be pointed
out by ordinarily intelligent men.
There are thousands of men on a foot
ing with Mr.. Gilbert who can reply
to him successfully-andt there are a
hundred men in Logan today who
will engage in debate with any avowed
member of the Socialist party in
Logan. Mr.. Gilbert was perfectly
safe in challenging that audience and
knew he was safe. He challenged it
for the effect it would have upon
those who would not think further
then his assertion that "silence gives
assent, and proves the perfection of
the scheme" He well knew that
men in that audience would accept
MS assertion without thought, and he
played the game.
However, as we stated above, we do
lot doubt that there are a hundred
men in Logan who will debate the
Socialism question with any avowed
member Of the Socialist party in
logan providing they can be made
o see that it is worth their while.
The movement Is hardly strong
nough in Logan to warrant the prom
ncnce that would be given it by
