WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 9.-Sev-
eral applications to organize national
banks in the Northwestern states have
come to the comptroller of the cur
rency within the last four or five weeks.
Nearly all of the proposed banks will
begin business on small capitaliza-
ton, for they are to be located in COM
paratively small cities and towns and
indicate that the rural communities are
growing.
In the month of September one new
national bank began business in Min
nesota, with a capital of $4,000, the
minimum allowed by law. This bank
was organized under the name of the
First National Bank of Rraham. Har-
ry Granger is president, c. ]. johnson
is vice president and Ne. Anderson
cashier of the institution During the
same month applications were receiv-
ed to organize two other banks in the
state, one of these to be known as the
National Citizens Bank of Candy, and
the other the First National Bank of
International Falls. The Candy bank

English Back of Movement

All applications for commissions
have been addressed to English, who,
1t is said, was an officer in the South
Dakota regiment that served in the
Philippines.
In answer to letter from a recently
discharged private of the Twenty sec
ond infantry. Mr.. English gave out the
information that the rank and pay of
officers in the new army would be the
same as that in the United States army
and that officers might select the wing
of the service to their liking, provided
their previous experience fitted them
for commissions in certain depart
ments The officers, according to Mr..
English, are all to be Americans, and
the privates and nom commissioned
officers Chinese.
The discharged soldier from the

The Light Question.

The statement Is made that the Hercules
people are ready to make three.year light con-
tracts at lOc per light per month This may
be true, 1t may not be true. but II 1t were, it
would be rank foolhardiness for the general
public to enter into any such contract with the
Hercules people; 1t would be foolishness to ac-
cept the Hercules lights as u gift. The city's
plant has cost the people of Logan about 800
600, and whether its service Is used, the plant
must be paid for. The city is asking for its
service exactly what it was represented would
be the cost, 35c per single light, zoe for two
lights, and sl.OO for three lights. This is a
reasonable price, fair price, and no one has
any right or reason to expect good electric
light service for less than that. II the Her.
cules people cut their present price to that of
the city's price land the Hercules's old price,
then this is pretty fair proof that they have
been 'holding up the citizens here ever since
the election, and as matter Of general prin-
cipe the people should turn them down.
II they cut their price to ten cents a light 1t
simply means that they do so In order to secure
sufficient patronage to make the successful
operation OF the city plant an mpOssbility,
and that that price will be in force only until
such a time as the city plant should cease
operation. 1t is but business for the Hercules
people to kill the city plant II possible, and the
fact that the Logan service Is but ''side
issue" OF this great company places it In such
position that 1t can almost afford TO pay the
people to use its lights II, per chance, the
move would kill the city's plant

THE REPUBLICAN is just in receipt of the
Linton Indiana, Record, which contains
statement of the condition of that city's light
plant. Lenton is a town the same size as Lo-
gan, owns its own plant and during the month
of February that plant lighted the city and
paid into the city treasury the sum of s27O.S6
above al expenses. This means that if Lin
ton has to pay as much for street lighting as
Logan has been paying the Hercules people,
$4,000 per month, the Linton plant makes
the city more than $4,000 a month. Logan's
plant can be made to pay and the people of
Logan should see to it that it does pay

Good Books q Necessity.

More and more our ideals, ambitions and
inspirations come from books and magazines
1t would be as unwise to try to get long with
out these means of intellectual life, as it would
be to try to get along without the electric
light, the telephone and the steam engine.
Good books placed within the reach Of all are
the best helps in developing higher and bet
ter citizenship These good books, in general
are inaccessible TO most people unless they are
made accessible through public Libraries.
Some people tell us that those who want
good books, and who would read them, will
buy them and have a private library. There
were some people long time ago who said
that those who wanted an education would be
willing to sustain private schools, and pay for
the education OF their children. But the pub
lie schools came In answer to the prayers of
those who could never have had an education
except those who could get along without the
free school had made the public school possible.
Some day we shall come to regard the public
library as necessary as the public school. In
deed, we shall regard 1t as a part Of the educa.
tional system. A move toward a public read
ing room In Logan is move In the right
direction and should be supported. From
public reading room to good library is short
step.

last winter and solicited orders for ornamental

news item says that the New York health
officer has discovered $4,000 bacteria on one
piece of paper money and 10000 on another,
but this discovery will not cause many of us to
hesitate long about accepting piece of paper
money, even if we knew it had ten million
bacteria on it. The bacteria on money cause
no more terror than do the bacteria that are
said by some dry scientist to flourish on the
tempting lips of pretty maiden, and most of
us are willing to take any sort of chance on
both or either the money or the maid.

Who is Parker, What is Parker?

Democracys evident intention to nominate
Judge Parker.
From having candidate who did nothing

who never talks at all. Who is Parker?
Doubtless an upright man, and an honorable
gentleman. But what does he believe? What
are his views on the tariff? Is he "A free trader,
tariff for revenue only advocate, revisionist
or high proteclionisty How does he stand

did he believe in it? If he did he ought not to
be president. If he did il without believing in
il, he ought not be president. Where is he on
expansion? Does anybody know? What is his
opinion on any living question? Can anybody
tell? DO we propose TO elevate man to the
Ioftiest station in the world that has no views
on any of the vital questions he will be called
on at once to deal with? He reminds me of

Strangers visiting our city have nothing but
words OF praise for 1t. Occasionally we hear
some complaints about taxes, etc, but where
can be found more ideal spot in which to
live than Logan, possessing as it does a fine
water system, with but a nominal charge for
the water splendid electric light systems,
paved walks through the main streets, and
generally speaking, healthful climate, and
the finest schools and colleges in the state for
the education Of the youth. The residents of
Logan have much to be thankful for Our
favorable surroundings, as well as those of the
opposite, should be considered, and when all
are weighed carefully 1t will be found that
we have many reasons for contentment.

What n?

What If all the dilapidated fences and USE
less gates in our city should be repaired and
fixed up within the next few weeks?
What If all the back-yards and corrals should
be cleaned up, the contents OF prvy vaults
removed to neighboring fields and plowed I'M
der, the ashes carted away, and all the rub
bish burned?
What II all the front yards should be con.
verted into pretty lawns, the trees along the
streets properly trimmed, the bitches cleaned
out, and the sidewalks put in as good shape as
possible?
What II the old stumps along the streets,
the evidence Of storms In years gone by should
be removed, and trees Of the best kind be made
to take the place OF the long unsighty gaps In
various parts OF the city?
What II the rocks, which lie scattered over
the streets in many places were gathered up
and taken away, and the streets made as good
as 1t Is possible to make them with improved
methods of road-making, without 'bonding
the city?"
Well If these things should be done, the
cost Of which would not be much besides
little mental energy and muscular effort, we
should have the kind of town we OUGHT to
have instead of the kind of town we HAVE.
If these things should be done we should
have the most beautiful city in Utah. We
should have more people LIVING in Logan this
time next year, and not so many moving up to
the "city on the hill" MAPLE.

Others as well as you.

There has been quite falling of in attend.
ance at the Colleges since spring has come,
students being called home to work on farms.
In some cases this is probably unavoidable, but
every effort should be made to permit the
students to remain the full terms. The break
ing away from school before the end OF the
term Is generally accompanied by dscoura ge-
ment on the part Of the students and is great
loss to them. II parents can bequeath TO their
children a good education, 1t will prove Of
greater worth than wealth; 1t cannot be squan-
dercd. or the two, property or education, the
the latter is preferable. For the sake OF few
days work on the farm In the spring, the
students anticipations for an education are
often blighted. Parents having sons and
daughters approaching their majority should
consider we the future before calling them
from colleges and other schools.
