This country has and this country
needs better paid, better educated,
better fed and better clothed working
men, of higher type than are to be
found in any foreign country. 1t has
and it needs higher, more vigorous
and more prosperous type Of tillers of
the soil than is possessed by any other
country. The business men, the mer-
chants and manufacturers and the
managers of the transportation inter
ests show the same superiority when
compared with men of their type
abroad.-President Roosevelt said in
his speech at Minneapolis, April t.
1903.

Society.

Mrs. ID. G. Bulge and Mrs. j. +.
Shepard were hostesses at five
O'Clock tea Wednesday, given at the
cozy home of the former on East First
North street. The occasion is said to
have been the most delightful of the
kind ever given in the city, the ap-
pointments being exceptionally exquis-
lite, the course lunch beyond compare
and the pleasures truly ENJOYABLE.
Each guest was presented with a
dainty package of Japan tea" tied
with that country's national colors,
and attached were a dainty cup and
saucer. Another feature was a
word contest in which the idea
was to make as many words as posi-
BILE from the letters in Japan tea.
Quite large number of the city,s
upper ten were present, list of which
The REPUBLICAN would be glad to
present had we but the space. The
success of the affair proclaims Mes
danes Bulge and Shepard hostesses
whose functions will Away be awaited
with pleasant anticipations.

of the men at Linton, Indi-

western Maryland, near the scene of
Mr.. Daviss operations. We can vouch
for Mr. Heenan, and in measure for
his statements. The letter reads
WestcrnpOrt, Md, Aug. %, 1904. --

Vermont.

Three weeks ago Democratic news
papers were jubilant over prospects in
Vermont and made much of the
assertion that republican plu-
rality Of less than $4,000 in that state
meant a Democratic victory in the
presidential election. In order to re-
duce the Vermont plurality the Dem
ocratic national committee put the
best speakers into the state, even our
own Frank J. Cannon making this
long trip to be Of service. Tons of
literature were sent into Vermont
and great gobs Of campaign money
were sent into that state in an effort
to turn the tide.
AS election day approached, Demo-
cratic newspapers, slightly fearful Of
the result, raised the limit to 30, OOO
They claimed that Republican plu-
rality Of less than 10000 in Vermont
meant Republican defeat national
ly, the inference being that a plu-
rality that large or larger meant Re-
publican success nationally.
Both sides hustled and the result
OF the hustling was indicated last
Tuesday by Republican plurality of
$1,000. Taking Democratic claims
and assertions as a basis, that party
Is doomed to defeat nationally, but
without Vermont's remarkable show
ing that was foregone conclusion
anyway.
This computation and prognostica-
tion in which Vermont figures as the
barometer is due to the fact that in
1884 the Republican plurality in Yer
mont was but $4,000 and Cleveland
was elected. In 1892 the Republican
plurality in that state was but $4,000
and Cleveland went in on land slide.
These are the only times in which
Vermont gave plurality of less than
$4,000. It's now up to the Democrats
to admit that they absolutely have no
show in the coming election, or else
are false prophets as well as false doc
trinarans.

The Tribune Bolt Again.

Senator Kearns evidently thinks
he knows what he is about
Possibly he does, but THE
REPUBLICAN believes he is
making a mistake. In boiling the
Republican state ticket, The Tribune,
Mr., Kearn's paper, can have but one
object in view,-to force, If possible,
his return TO the Senate. The senior
Senator evidently believes there is an
undue combination against him, and by
his fight on Smoot, against the church
and the state ticket, he hopes to force
that influence into more favorable
attitude. Mr.. Kearns has plenty Of
money, a certain following and in his
disappointment and determination
may be able to kick up such row as
TO accomplish his point, if indeed
there is combination against him.
1t is said that Mr.. Kearns is deter
mined TO rip Utah wide open, that
Goodwin is to 20 back to The Trib-
une's editorial staff, that the Smoot
case is 10 be reopened with a vigOr
that has not characterized 1t hereto
fore, that this state is TO be subjected
TO such an upheavel as will set all
Others in the shade,-unless MI.
Kearns is given the assurance that he
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-09-10

will have square deal in the selec-
tion of legislative candidates.
Whether Mr. kearns and The Tribune
can accomplish all this is a matter Of
conjecture, of course, but if It's true
that the main stipulation of Mr.
Kearns'S election four years ago was
that he should buy The Tribune and
stop its fight against the Mormon peo-
pie, then it is not unreasonable to
suppose that The Tribune could at
least become very obnoxious at this
time if It's owners deemed 1t desirable.
Granting for the sake of argument
that Mr.. Kearns's paper can do all 1t
is now intimated will be done, could
this not be done to better advantage
after election than before? BY max
ing the fight before election The Trib-
une endaDgers the State ticket, en-
dangers the election of Republican
congressman, and Injuries the national
ticket to which it claims to be loyal.
And what does The Tribune and Mr..
Kearns gain by this? Absolutely
nothing but the contempt of the loyal
Republicans of this state. No one
loves or appreciates bolter and by
letting his personal grievance leopard
ize in even small way the success Of
the Republican state and national
ticket, Mr.. Kearns drives from him
those who would be his friends.
The legislature will select Mr..
Kearns's successor. Why does not
Mr.. Kearns and The Tribune join i'm
the fight to elect Republicans to that
Legislature, and then If he is still sat
isfied that there is an undue combina-
tion against him let him turn his bat
teries loose. If there is an influence
which can give Mr.. Kearns today
what he asks, then there is an infiu-
ence that can give him what he asks
after election. Why ask it now. and
being refused, promulgate fight that
makes him despicatle boiler and
makes possible, If not probable, the
fruitlessness Of the endeavors of
thousands of honest Republicans in
the state OF Utah.
Senator Kearnss persistency in this
fight at the present time is the mis-
take Of his life.

Are We AppreCiatiye?

IF the two colleges Logan now pos
sesses were removed from the valley,
two'thirdS OF the business houses in
this city would close their doors with
in year" is a statement from one of
our most conservative and successful
business men. This gentleman has
been for years and is still in close
touch with the situation, so that the
statement, while rather astonishing, Is
worthy of considerable credit. 1t
takes but a few minutes and little
mathematics TO figure that the big
schools are instrumental in the ex-
penditure of not less than $500, 900 in
this city each year. What proportion
Of the entire business done durin a
year this amount is the only thing nee
essary TO decide the correctness of the
statement.
The REPUBLICAN is not in posses
sion of the statistics necessary for an
authoritative computation, but that
the schools are of supreme Importance
in financial way is not to be denied.
While most are willing TO acknow-
ledge this, do we as citizens really
and truly appreciate their worth,
or are we in our quiet compla-
cency content in the belief that the
schools can not get away, so need feel
no concern as TO their welfare? Do
we feel that their presence here is
simply our rightful portion of the
good things and that it is not neces-
sary for us TO concern ourselves fur
there Or are We Us thc populace OF
st, Louis is today? But one out Of
twenty-five citizens OF st. Louis win
tell you that the great fair is of any
value to the city. They say their
business has not increased, that in
the fair they have nothing that Is
worth their while, They have the
fair now with its attendant expendi-
lures of millions Of dollars, but wait
until it is over and gone. Then will
st. Louis realize that they really had
something, Likewise with Logan, 1t
might possibly take the removal of
the schools to convince US Of their real
value.
Loganites will probably deny the al
legation that they are unappreciative,
but if they are appreciatiye how have
they shown it? For years both schools
have been asking for more room for
their students, and today it is diff
cult TO secure boarding and rooming
places, Many families have come

here and located, and many others
have gone elsewhere for the reason
that 1t has been impossible to secure
houses for rent, and when perchance a
suitable place is found the rent is ex-
orbtant. If the citizens have not
actually gone out of their way to re-
tard the growth OF the schools, there
certainly has been no active effort
made in their behalf. Every encour-
agement should be offered in this d.
rection and every other that presents
itself by which the progress and the
growth of the schools may be assured.
To double the attendance at the big
schools means $l,0OO,OOO expended
rather than 100000. This is worth

Logan, Utah, Sept. 8, 1904.

TO the Logan City Republican Com
mittee.
Conformation account of the
fact that am a candidate for renom-
nation, as State representative on the
Republican ticket and in view of the
fact that one or more Of my co-labor-
ers and fellow Republicans are candi-
dates for the same position and it has
been intimated to me that my posi-
tion as chairman of your honorable
body will give me unusual prestige or
advantage over my competitors, who
are my party comrades, and having
given the matter due thought and
consideration and in Difference to the
above suggestion l hereby tender you
my resignation as chairman believing
that in so doing am serving the best
party interest and removing all chance
for any charge of unfairness in our
friendly race for the same position.
Yours Respectfully,
City Chairman.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-09-10

When campaign orators have no
party issues of merit to discuss IL is
very plainly shown in the way they
evade that proposition and fall into
personal abuse of the opposing candi-
dates. This year the main part Of
the orators talk consists of personal
abuse of Theodore Roosevelt. Well,
good men get plenty of cursing any
way. Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and
Mckinley were great marks for abuse
but the bombasts only made them
votes by abusing them. The same
will be true of Theodore Roosevelt.

passed away Sunday afternoon, Sept.
4th, from heart trouble. He was af-
tiicted with smallpox last January
from which he did not recover, but de-
veloped into dropsy and later into
heart trouble. The deceased was a
quiet, patient and charming child,
with great desires to live, but that he
was not permitted to do, not even to
bud into youth, but was taken where
he can bloom in a holier sphere where
pain and death are no more.
Box "B" has been very liberal in
Preston the prst week. Several of

Paving district No. s was created.
This embraces the walks on the south
side Of First South between First and
Second West, and those other walks
on First West and First North which

For some unaccountable reason,
BRO" Hatch took it into his head to
adjourn, although little business had
as yet been transacted. The most
important work of the first meeting
of the month, the matter of appropri-
ating money for sundry expenses, such
as labor, etc, had not been passed up
on and the same was mentioned,
whercupon Mr.. Hatch's motion TO ad-
journ was turned down. During the
meeting, Mr.. Lindquist had been call
ed away. Mr.. Hatch, defeated in his
attempt to adjourn, perceived that
his absence would leave the council
without a quorum, so picked up his
cranial covering and even without
saying goodbye departed for parts and
for reasons unknown, This stumped
the council, but it was aScertained
that the minority could adjourn to
meet at some designated time, and on
motion of Carlisle it was decided to
hold an adjourned meeting Thursday
evening.
At the adjourned session Thursday
evening all but two members of the
council were present.

1t was decided that the committee
on Laws and Ordinances draft an or
dinance regulating the laying of side

mittee was so instructed.
