The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1904-05-04

Questions have been asked by Salt Lake
parties as TO which of the two men would
draw the heaviest vote in Cache county for
governor, James II. Hammond or Aquilla Neb-
eker While both are excellent men, the for
mer, without doubt, woud be the most fav
ored James II. Hammond was raised in this
county and the people know him well. During
his career rs Secretary of State he has proved
to the whole State that his capacity for State
Office is more than equal to the demand. The
latter gentleman has not been in this county
long as resident, consequently neither he nor
his friends could expect the support that would
naturally be accorded TO James II. Hammond

III you have temptation to gossip, just Of
fer up a prayer instead" Isn't that a sub
lime thought? A lady expressed it at the Re-
lief Society conference the other day. The ex-
preston was meant for women, but it is none
the less applicable to men, for men gossip as
much as women and with more serious results.
Cut out the gossip and pray, and when the
prayer is offered, let it be for yourself Your
intended victim won't need it for he will have
escaped through your prayer.

shows penetration In them. AS a cat watching
for mice does not look up though an elephant
goes by, so with people busy housing for de-
fects, they let great excellences pass them
unnoticedI will not say that 1t is not Christ
ian-like to make beads of others faults and
tell them over every day, say 1t Is Internal. IL
you want to know how the devil feels, you do
know If you are such a one.s
Never employ yourself to ferret out the
faults OF othcrs--look to yourself 1t Is more
profitable to find out one Of your own faults
and improve on it than to discover ten in your
neighbor. When In the spirit Of fault-fnding,
make 1t rule to say In the same breath some
thing that Is approving. 1t Is said that this Is
a cure for fault-fnding. The most ignorant
find the most to scorn and ridicule In others.
True worth does not exult in the faults and
deficiencies Of others, for true refinement will
turn from gross things. The tongue that feeds
on mischief, the babblng, the tattling, the
sly underground whisperings, impertinent
med1ling, all of these are nuisance to COM
munity. What world OF gossip would be pre-
vented II it was only remembered that per-
son who tells you the faults of Others intends
to tell Others of your faults. BY others faults
wise people silently correct their own. He
that condemns small fault commits greater
one. The greatest of all faults is to believe we
have none ourselves Little minds ignore their
own shortcomings and carp on the defects of
the great, but great minds are sensible of their
own faults and are generally compassionate
toward Others.

In spite of the fact that several OF the nations

that even the most enlightened governments
are in constant state of preparedness for war;
1t is undoubtedly true that a sentiment In OPP

that the subject of obligatory international ar
filtration is being considered by a special COM

There is no longer any general doubt that
most people read newspaper advertisements.
The question has been determined by many

tells what the people want to know never lacks
readers.

May Cost Him His Life.

Helena, Ark.-C. M. Massey,
white man, has been placed in jail
here and will have to answer to three
charges in the circuit court criminal
assault, murder and horse-stealing. In
August last, it is alleged, the double
crime of criminal assault and murder
was committed. Massey lived in the
Coffee Greek neighborhood with his
wife, and his wife going away from
home for time, he had young girl
Dora Williams, said to be only four
teen years old, to come and care for
the house. The girl was one morning
found dead, and at the last session Of
the Phillips circuit court the grand
jury took up the matter and indicted
Massey on charges of assault and muir
der, it being claimed that the girls
death resulted from the morphine
given by Massey. Since then Sheriff
Kitchens has been endeavoring to 10
cate the man, and he was finally
tracked into the Sunk Lands in Craig
head county by D. w. King of Gobel,
who had been sent after the man, and
there arrested. Massey admits steal
ing the horse, but refused to talk
about the other and more serious
charges against him.

A rumor has been current for some
time that the Frisco system has been
contemplating the building of rail
road from Memphis, Tenn, to Gulf
port, and the indications are that
there is fair prospect Of this predic-
ton coming true. A well-known citi-
zen, who is largely interested in the
Mississippi Delta, stated that the Fris-
co people have representative in the
Delta endeavoring to secure deeds for
right of way through the country from
The owners Of property along the pro-
posed line. The Frisco people have
long been DESTROYS Of securing an out
let to the gulf, and it is being asserted
that the proposed line will extend

the Clarksdale branch at Matson, just
above Tutwiler, thence continuing
south and crossing the Southern Rail

through the western portion Of Yazoo
county, crossing the Yazoo river about

BRITISH VIEWS
ON ELECTION
LONDON WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS
COMMENT FREELY.
FRIENDLY ATTITUDE
Almost Without Exception, Editorials
Praise Character of President. Be-
lief is Expressed that the Foreign
Policy Will Make for Peace.

London. The weekly newspapers
devote considerable space to the pres
idential election in the United States
and all dwell lengthily upon the per-
sonality Of President Roosevelt as the
prime factor in the Republican victo-
ny.
The most notable article appears in
the Spectator, which precludes
splendid tribute o the president with
the admission:
For ourselves, we do not profess
any special liking for the Republican
party" while in the same paragraph
it says the result of the election is a
subject for congratulation throughout
the English-speaking world.
The Spectator then asks: "What
will he do with it," and proceeds to
credit Mr.. Roosevelt with an ideal
programme for the next four years,
the standard of which will be "rea-
son, justice, moderation and common
sense
Discussing the prospective policy Of
the American government in relation
to foreign affairs, the Spectator says
President Roosevelt will not be afraid
to insist that the United States shall
hold her own among the great powers
of the world, but he will not seek for
eign entanglements.
After predicting that the Panama
canal will be completed by President
Roosevelt, the Spectator says:
"In the Far East, and in all that
concerns the future of China, we may
expect the president, acting under the
advice of Secretary Of State Hay, who
is now unquestionally one of the ablest
if not the ablest of living diplomat
lists, to maintain the attitude already
adopted"
The Speaker, and Saturday Review,
take less enthusiastic review Of Pres
ident Roosevelt's foreign policy. The
Speaker says it is represented by a
determination as "get there just the
same" which, involving as it does a
disregard of treaties and the employ
ment of armed force upon the slight
est provocation or pretext, represents
grave danger.
The Saturday Review says:
"We have often expressed the con-
viction that this country has little to
gain in the end from a translation in
to action of President Roosevelt's
views of foreign affairs. 1t has been
the fashion among us Of late to APP
plaud Republican victories and en-
courage the idea among Americans
that we look upon the Democratic par
ty as less friendly to us than the Re-
publican. This we believe is a delu-
sion only one degree more mischievous
than the notion that an enterprising
foreign policy upon the part Of the
newly elected president will necessari-
y insure to our benefit"

The labor problem in most cases, and

cotton out of the fields, although short
handed. There are many, however,
who are still short Of the necessary
