Conference Rates.

In writing of the proposal to reduce
conference rates from $3.50 to 81. 80 q
round trip, the "only''organ of opposi
tion in the county says that "from q
purely pecuniary and business stand
point, it would benefit most places II
the rate was doubled" And this is
equivalent TO saying that 1.-THE only
would prefer to see them doubled rath
cr than cut to 81. 30. The REPUBLI
CAN has no argument on this score at
all, THE POINT AT ISSUE Is why
should this people be Disseminated
against? Why should the thousands
who 20 to conference to hear their
great leaders be accorded less cOnsid-
Grafton than a single train of people
from Salt Lake who desire to 20 to
Ogden to attend Il bull-fght? DO
bull-fightS hold so much good for the
people, that il must be made easy for
them TO get there? Is there something
about funeral that is so helpful that
the people must be transported at as
little cost as possible in order TO get
them to attend?Possibly the railroads,
belonging as they do to the opposition,
feel that the conferences are detri-
mental to the people anyway, and
maintain the high rate in order to
keep away Is many as possible? Is
this the reason the $3.50 conference
rate remains when any old rate ask
cd for can be secured at other times?
Or Is it possible that the church has
some understanding with the railroad
whereby this rate, which even 1.-THE
only" admits is eyorbitant, is return.

quarters
THE REPUBLICAN does not believe
this is true. 1t does not believe that
the church finds it necessary to
work the people in this way. The
idea Of the church entering into an
agreement with a railroad to charge
an inconsistent price for Transports
ton on the strength of a portion of that
excess being returned to the church
in the way of concessions, is perfectly
The church authorities,
church agents, and other high officials
are justly entitled to every consdera-
ton the railroads can grant in the
matter of passes, and such like court
estes but the impression given us is
that these favors are few and many of
the officials are forced to bow and

In commenting on changes an eX-
change truly remarks: Things have
changed in the past quarter of cent
ury. Three score years ago the aver
age boy would 60 out on Sunday climb
tree and partake of few quarts of
mulberries and top off with a pocket
full of green apples and salt. The
next morning the mother diagnosed
his trouble as worms" and he was
made to swallow half bottle of Frey S
vermifuge, a quarter of pound of Ep-
som salts. and was turned loose in the
COW pasture until supper time when
he would come in for square meal

a "stich" in the side, he has the zap
pcndicitis" and is hustled off to the
hospital, starved within an inch of his
life, half dozen surgeons each take a
whack at him with pearl handled
knife and ne is turned over to his re.

palings surround empty spaces or
open upon cafes in which trees grow
or upon one-story houses or upon a
little wooden theater. Money-changers,
with their glass cases or gold and
silver coins and coin earrings and

Recent developments in the police

pie city and educational center should
not tolerate this sort of procedure
longer. Many young men may attend
our colleges through sacrifices made
at home, and while here every safe.
guard should be placed around them
TO shield them from evil. 1t is stated
that there are rooms in this city to
which select few carry keys for the
entrance of themselves and any prey
that they may capture upon the
streets. Logan city has been COM
paratively free from this vice for
years, until within the last year or
two. 1t seems that there is now
certain element pcrsisting in these
violations of the law. The city police
should prove themselves equal TO the
emergency by checking this damna-
BILE thing.

NOTES OF THE RAILWAYS:

IN order TO get at the grain raised IN
Lee county. III. the Chicago & North
western railroad has contributed 81 500
TO help the farmers Of that section build
a good turnpike.
Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for the purpose By the French
government show that the resistance Of
the atmosphere to the motion Of high
speed train often amounts to half he
total resistance which the locomotive
must overcome.

Turkish government to nationalIze, as
Tar Is possible, ell railways in the Otto

needed to initiate operations, but uld-

a passes Of the road on the basis Of serY-
Ice. Those who have been i've years in
the service are to be given ANNALS, good

ployed; those having ten years to their
credit are to receive ANNALS good over
