imminent seemed the danger, that all
the guests hurriedly left, and every
thing portable was removed from the
hotel
The flames leaped across Bay street
in half dozen places, and shortly be-
fore midnight it became apparent that
the whole block south of East Yelling
ton street from the Queens hotel and
the old blaming residence, facing on
Wellington street, was doomed. The
Gordon Mackay building, on the north
wet corner of Front and Bay streets,
which, for nearly seventy years, was
ore of the finest establishments in the
city, made a fierce blaze. The Copp
Clark building and Warwick Bros. &
Rutters was destroyed at about the
same time The heat was so great and
the smoke and flying embers so thick
that the firemen were absolutely help

To add to the terrifying effect Of the
ploding giant crackers and other fire
works stored in the Copp Clark build
ing.
The fire next leaped across Front
street to the Mcpherson Bros boot
and shoe warehouse and adjoining
buildings,
In as minutes the flames had leveled
every building between Front street
and the Esplanade, on the west side
of Bay street.
The fremen who had been forced to
retreat slowly on Front street and the
Espanade concentrated their forces
and made another desperate stand.
They failed this time. The flames
leaped across the street below Front
street and destroyed Mclaughlin Co s
-four mills at the southeast corner Of
Bay ard Front. From there the fire
took an easterly course toward Yoage
street and dangerously near the
wharves. On the southwest it burned
itself out for lack of fuel The flames
were also spreading toward the east
along both sides of Front str,et and
the south side OF Wellington street.

The custom house, a four story
stone building, at the cosler Of Yonge

Here and there, perhaps in several
hundred places throughout the coun-
try, school superintendent and teach
ers are awakening to the power of the
schoolhouse as welding force in the
community. and with great success in
some places the school and its inter
ests are made to teach the great lesson
of social unity.
Put these facts down for considera-
tion in your mind First, the great
law that chain is only as strong as
its weakest link; second, that there is
no real upward gain to any human be-
ing arising from the thrusting down of
any other human being.
These wide awake educators know
full well that the standard of the next
working generation in America is be-
ing impressed at this moment upon the
minds of the boys and girls now at
school, that their idea of personal and
political morality will find voice in the
next thirty years, and that, therefore,
no school can be called too good II Is is
busy raising the purposes of the young
people, and no school can be called
success that gives special attention to
the bright student and neglects the
dullard ones, simply TO shine in the
glory of few remarkable scholars.
These alive educators also call more
and more insistently for the sympathy
and knowledge of the parents, asking
the parents to come in touch with the
school and to see that the teachers are
working for the good of the next gem
Grafton. The work of education will
be helped tremendously when the par
ents themselves realize their own share
in the training and in the result.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
(By The Editor.)
ALBERT CLARISGToN.


Each age in life has its own charm,
providing it is healthily lived. do
not think that the attitude of mind of
William Cullen Bryant, writing Than
atopsis when he was mere boy, was
at all healthy. Here was a mere youth
who should have been full of eager
looking forward to life rather than
morbidly thinking of death. For the
child there is eager reaching forward;
for the man there is strong doing; for
the aged there is rest and waiting.
Each age has its own beauty and it's
own duty. The thought of passing
away is distressing to the child and to
the man. The eventide of life is not
distressing to those who are in it; for
as daylight fades, stars of hope, invis-
ible before, shine out along the path
way.

Whatever theories or beliefs we may
have as to the origin of the different
species of creatures, they are all ulti-
mately traced back to force and an
influence greater than them all. We
call that Creator God, and it is a fine
proof of our increasing veneration for
God and His works that even when we
slay the lower creatures we strive to
do it in a humane way, to inflict as lit
tie suffering as possible. We have
even organized societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals. All
these things show the softening inhu
ences of higher thought and truer ven
Grafton. We protest in our minds
against the old sporting character who
would say sit is fine day, let us
go out and kill something" and it
seems to me as though we cannot go
too far in our tenderness and coasid-
Grafton for the lower creatures of the
world when they are doing US no harm
nor interfering with our rights as
human beings. / think it is Cowper
who in one of his poems shows just
when we may kill and remove the low
er creatures.
Perhaps this line of thought has its
value; for sometimes we know human
beings to be more gentle to their
beasts than they are to their neigh
bors. 1t shows the absurdity of cul-
ture's refinement when we pay more
heed to the comfort of pet dogs than
we do to the future of neighbour IS
child. When we can see the marvels
of creative purpose in the myriad forms
of life and are not tender and consid.
crate towards weaker human beings
then knowledge appears to have rur
wild and led us off to that which i.
only half knowledge. If we are con
siderate of our domestic animals and
not considerate of our domestic ser
wants we certainly must be suffering
from some sort of moral squint.
we human beings have cruel natures
it were better to exhaust those natur
es on the dumb and uncomplaining an
imals than to be gentle with the ami
mails and pour out our cruelty upon
human beings. If colt or calf is
fractions, we restrain it in every pos
sible way. We break it, as it were, 81
that it becomes accustomed to service
But if u human being falls short ot
what we wish, do we show to it the
same consideration or the same will
ingness to patiently train it
Perhaps it will be we'll to read this
thought over again and understand il
to mean plea for the negro; for the
writer holds to the old-fashioned be
lief that the negro was created by thu
same God as the white man, and tina
being human, he is entitled to SONS
consideration.
Perhaps some of our readers will re.
member the old poem of The Nightin
gale and the Glowworm. The mora
is summed up in the last few lines

Judge Powers.

Judge Powers was summoned to
Washington to testify in the case
against Senator Reed Smoot, and in a
carefully prepared testimony gave his
opinion of the Mormon people. He
has without equivocation character
lied them as "rcbels" and as a people
who dare not say their souls are their
own, before committee of the high
est law making body in the land.
The willy judge, it will be remem-
bered, was the leader of the Tuscarora
hosts in Salt Lake City, and was 10th
to have the tribes disband. In speak
ing of the first election in Utah after
statehood in his testimony he says:
1.-THE election was held. Roberts
was defeated by S97 votes. John T.
Caine, the candidate for governor, was
defeated by 1900 votes. Had we sue
ceeded in that election / am confident
this investigation would never have
been in progress, for it would have
Dctl lcNOlullOll, DuU d. ~ was, ~ was
rebellion, and those who took part
part were rebels" (See proceedings
page $751;
In speaking further of the Mormons
he says: at is the system that l con-
denim" Mr.. Van Colt then asked
him If very many of the Mormons did
not object to the stand taken by some
of their leaders, TO which he replied:
''They have objected to me, person
ally and privately, many of them, and
yet one of their conferences would
come along and not one of them
seemed to dare say that his soul was
his own, or stand up in defense of that
man or in defense of the political
liberties of the people," (See proceed.
!ngs page 923.J
Now Judge Powers is seeking the
aid of these same rebels to put him in
Office.

DO the democratic ladies who are
making tour of the county talking
about certain republican candidates
smoking cigar and taking an occa-
sional drink, know that Judge Powers
does both? DO they know that other
democratic candidates whom they are
trying to boost into otlce drink and
smoke, and also have private rooms in
this city to which they carry keys?
DO they know that card playing is in
dulgcd in to see who 'scts 'em up?n
Now, dear ladies, it might be well to go
little slow on these slight failings Of
your republican friends, Ifnot, disclos-
urcs that might strike rather close
home could be made. Better cut out
this part of the program and quick,
too. We do not believe that the lead
ers of your campaign approves of this
procedure.

Another Lie Nailed.

J. G. Walters, candidate for County
Attorney, whom "the only" accuses
of not having paid certain fees to ex-
Clerk Farrell, when inquiry was made
stated that if he was owing Mr.. Far
rell any fees that gentleman has never
said word to him about it. He says
he has no knowledge of unpaid fees,
and that it has never been his custom
to neglect the payment of fees over
night. If, perchance, he is owing Mr..
Farrell fee in any instance it is be-
cause the amount was not requested
of him and he has no knowledge of it..
1t is true that Mr.. John Owen came
to Mr.. Walters short time ago and
told him ne owed him $3.50 in fees.
Mr.. Walters said he thought not, and
that he always kept record of money
paid out. Reference to MIR. Waters's
books then and there proved TO Mr..
Ovens satisfaction that his claim was
incorrect. This may be true in this
matter of Mr.. Farrell's claim, If in re-
atty ne has one.
The difficulty at that court house,
according to the various lawyers, is
that there never has been any real
system of collecting fees or doing bust
ness as whole. 1t has been hap
hazard sort Of affair of such a glazing
nature that the truth of adverse
statements cannot be denied. The
evidence given by the principals in Of
flee Is sufficient proof Of this. The
various officials for years back have
failed to regard the absolute necessity
of being perfectly accurate, careful
beyond criticism and the present I'M
fortunate condition is the result.

Judge Hart says that the preclusion
OF third term in Office is not intend
cd for the judiciary, because of the
peculiar fitness that is essential in the
individual TO hold the Office, and Of
course the genial Judge meant that
he possessed to remarkable degree
this exceptional or peculiar" fit
ness. just what peculiar fitness
there is in the man whom the supreme
court reverses twenty-five times out
OF forty-eight is a matter of conjec-
ture If out Of forty-eight cases he is
he reversed twenty-five times isn't it
reasonable to suppose that If the re-
mainder Of his cases had been appeal
ed, about half of them would have
been reversed? According to Judge
Hart's record the attorneys in the
various cases were not as quick to
take advantage OF him as they should
have been. "The only" used very
nearly two columns Of editorial pace

Gcntlemen:-ln THE LOGAN RE
PUBLICAN of November lst, 1904 there
is an article entitled "Holton and
Nebekcr" which contains many false
statements, but in particular contains
the following allegation:
SIN one case through the inatten-
tion and carelessness OF Mr.. Nebeker
the criminal escaped and the county
lost bond in the sum OF $500. ms
Is false and libelous as the letter from
County Attorney Perry which you
have will show, and you are hereby
respectfully requested to make retrac-
tion in the manner provided by law.
Respectfully,
FRANK X. NEBEKER.
The REPUBLICAN IS ever glad to
make a correction of any misstate-
ment made in this paper. There is
no disposition here to deliberately
misrepresent any man, and II per-
chance we are misled into saying that
which the facts will not bear out,
NdIl ItSItu
tion more than we, nor be more
willing and ready to make the
retraction just as wide as the
publication of the Justification. Mr..
Nebeker says that this paper mis-
represented him in stating that
through "inattention and careless
ness" he lost for Box Elder county a
bond Of $500, and permitted criminal
TO escape. While we made that state
ment in good faith and on the repre-
sentation of one in whom we placed
implicit confidence, we have since
learned that this $500 was lost,
and the criminal escaped not through
any inattention and carelessness of
Mr.. Nebeker, but another person.
We take pleasure in placing Mr.,
Nebeker right on this matter, and
trust that our readers will erase from
their minds any false impression in
this regard.

The republican party does not claim,
nor does The LOGAN REPUBLICAN
claim for it that that party is respon-
Sible for the magnificent crops the
farmers have haf, nor do we claim for
the party the credit of the great in
crease in tloCks and herds. Some 9TH
cr power is responsible for this, but we
do claim it is the republican party that
has made these crops and hocks and
herds worth anything. The farmer
might raise ensrmous quantities Of
wheat at % cents a bushel and yet re-
main poor all his life. The farmer
must have market for his produce,
and unless labor is employed he can
not have that market The repubi-
can policy OF protection to American
industries is what employees the laboreI
and what indirectly makes the farmer
prosperous. Democratic sophistry
clnnot successfully contradict this.

In its Tuesdays edition THE RE-
PUBLICAN presented plain, fair and
square statement of the recent tiasco
at the court house. These state
ments were made as mildly as the
facts would warrant and are support
ed by the records and evidence in the
recent trials. The democratic organ
used much space in an effort to dis
credit this paper but offered little or
nothing TO support its cries of mis-
representation, etc. THE REPUBLI-
CAN has presented the matter and is
willing to leave it with the voters
without further comment.

Vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks
and elect a republican Congress
If you want the honor and dignity
OF the country upheld;
If you want present prosperous con-
ditions continues;
If you want the affairs of the gov
eminent administered intelligently
and economically:
If you want the books kept open
and dishonesty punished wherever
found;
If you want grasping monopolies re-
pressed and forced to obey the law;
If you want jnstice administered to
all, rich and poor alike;
If you want hungry horde of demo-
cratic looters kept out of office;
If you want such tricksters as ID. b.
Hill given no place in the cabinet:
If you want manly man retained
in the White House:
II you want democratic nonenity,
a weak tool OF tricky politicians, kept
out of the Presidential chair;
If you want the nation to retain its
lead among the world powers as a
peace promoter;
II you want tirmness displayed when
tirmness will protect American lives
and property interests;
In short, If YOU want everything
that IA good, patriotic citizen should
want, vote for Roosevelt and Fair
banks and elect republican Congress.
