The proposed public meeting to dis
cuss the telephone and electric light
questions will in all all probability be a
decided failure, unless the people
decide to make it an indignation meet
ing with the light question as basis.
1t is hardly probable that those men
who signed the petition asking that
the franchise be granted will go to
that meeting to express themselves
again, and inasmuch as they represent
the greater part Of those interested it
Is not understood Just where the
crowd is to come from. There was
nothing said at the meeting Wednes-
day night to indicate that the coun-
Gil would act on the sentiment express
sed at that meeting-so why the
meeting? So far as the light question
is concerned, there is no doubt that
the citizens want the streets lighted,
even though the charge seems pretty
high at present, and until the charge
becomes outrageously exorbitant and
there Is no hope of our own plant be-
ing installed, the citizens will hardly
assemble in mass meeting for the
purpose of expressing their sentiment
to the council. We understand the
motive in calling public meeting
and are willing to concede that it is
commendable-but meeting of this
kind should have been called some
time ago, and not after public senti-
ment has been expressed.

DIR. ENGLE and BOOKS.

DR.. John f. Engle holds the chair
of History, Civics and Sociology at the
A. @. He Is strlkingly original man,
a careful student of affairs and condi-
tions, and recognized i'm educational
circles as man of capability. He is
a valued member of the Sociological
club of the city, and has also taken
out his degree from the Chicago Cor
respondence School Of law. DIR. Engle
is also teacher of bible class in this
city and in the course of his instruc-
ton has given that class list of
of twenty-one books which he feels
should be read by every man and
woman who has arrived at an age
calculated to make it possible for
them to read intelligently the books
he suggests.
DR.. Engle does not mean that there
are no other books as good and help
full but does believe that there is too
much promiscuous reading and that it
would be better If reading was done
with more certain purpose in view,
and with the idea of broadening the
mind along general lines. Whether
or not this list is such one as
would be given by other men of eqnal
or greater capacity we are not prepar-
ed to state, but we believe that
DR.. Angles ability is assurance
that the list is good one and we
here present it for your consideration.
1t may also be stated that DR.. Engle
gave special reason why he selected
each book, and that he selected each
with great care and after careful
consideration.
First on the list, though it is not
meant that it is the most important,
is an almanac, any old almanac, pre-
ferablyO. Phelps Browns Shakespear-
can Almanac, If it is still published;
volumes of United States History
there are twenty standard writer's to
select from; Scarlet letter." "Flato's
Republic;" "Weylin's Moral Philoso-
phy;" Rousseau's "Emile;" Gertrude
and her children;" Lies Miserables;"
George Elliott's "Daniel Deronda;"
Ruskin's "Seven Lamps of Architec-
ture;" "The Federalist;" The City of

Their Ways" The Crisis" "The Con-
querer;" 1.-THE Mississippi Valley in

TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.

Shall the Utah Home Telephone
Company be granted franchise to
install and operate telephone system
in Logan City? Personally, we dc
not believe the granting or not grant
ing of such a franchise to said COM
pany is Of sufficient consequence to
the city for us to devote much space
to a fight for or against it. However,
we do believe that the Council should
and will eventually see its way clear
to granting a franchise, and further
that it will be such a franchise as was
read at the council meeting last Wed.
nesday evening, with the exception
that Article 10 as read will be erased
and the substitute of Mr.. Burris
inserted.
We can name at least a dozen rea.
sons why we believe as we Go. First
there is no active opposition to the
granting of said franchise, except
from the Bell TELEPHONE people;
secondly, there has been presented to
the council petition signed by more

We have heard the statement mad

We have heard the statement made
several times that "the mayor made
an ass of himself" Wednesday night
in speaking before the council in re-
gard to the proposed telephone
franchise. On that occasion Major
Hansen, in answer to a request for his
views in the matter, stated that,
personally, as business man using
telephone service, he could not see
the advantage to be gained by having
another company in here, and stated
his reasons for so believing. These
remarks failed to meet with the
approval of the friends of the new
company and Of course this is where
such remarks as quoted above come
from. We had the doubtful pleasure
of sitting through that entire meet
ing Wednesday night and heard the
Mayo talk, and while we think his
remarks may have been ill-timed we
also think there are extenuating cir.
cumstances. The Mayor was asked
for an expression and said that he
would speak in the capacity of bust
ness man and citizen, and so he did
for short time, but finally inadver-
tently referred to what he might do
in his official capacity. This was a
mistake without a doubt, but the
Mayors statement was so frank and
honest and in such accord with the

Farmers, remember now is an excel.
lent time to look after your spring
tools, and get them repaired If needed.
do not wait until the day you need
them when your land is ready to pillow.
Now is the time when little or nothing
is being done by the blacksmiths to
have all repairs attended to. Flows,
harrows, drill tools of various kinds
may need extras; look after them in
season so that valuable time will not
be wasted in waiting for them in the
spring time, whenyou should be at work
on your land.

According to Custom.

Donald Mcpherson of 1lO2 New York ave-
nue. recently wrote the District authorities,
requesting that the sidewalks on both sides
of Kenesaw avenue be extended to the en-
trance to the Geological Park, and also that
earth excavated from public streets be used
for widening and filing Kenesaw avenue
to the entrance to the Geological Park in
stead of being deposited on private prop
erty. Mr.. Mcpherson states that the road
way along the street mentioned is IN good
condition, but that access TO the park by
pedestrians is almost unavailable.
The writer mentions several instances
where the earth taken from various streets
during the process of grading and extend
ing was deposited on private property.
The recommendation of Morris Hacker,
superintendent o. roads, which is approved
by Commissioner Biddle, is follows:
II recommend that the writer be informed
that it is the policy of the office TO fill pub
lie space wherever practicable, and that
this was done in all the instances he men,
tons. Where it was not done it was on
count of economy, or to expedite work In
bad weather. The low ground adjoining
Kenesaw avenue, running down into the
park, to which he refers. is not available
for filling. except in a small measure. on
account of existing conditions of drainage
along this street"

Recommendation Approved.

The Commissioners have approved the
recommendation of Inspector Thomas
Fisher of the highway department to the
effect that three incandescent naphtha
lamps be erected on I'd street northwest be-
tween I and X streets and two lamps be-
tween X and L streets. and that the lamps
now in the west end of the alley between
North Capitol and LIST and II streets north
east be moved from that location to the
southeast corner of I'd and L streets north
east The cost Of this work, in the opinion
of Inspector Fisher should not be charged
to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad deposit,
and he recommends that the Union Light
ing Company, contractor for the incandes-
cent naphtha, lighting, be requested to do
this work without cost under the terms of
l,s contract.
Mr.. Fisher also states that I'd street
northeast, from to L street will be MAIN
tanned for long period public thor
oughfare, since the railroad company has
changed it's plans in reference to work upon
this street.
