Determined to remedy the condition
here that made free marketing hazard
GUS, the killing interests have made
strenuous efforts to increase their
slaughtering capacity 20 that moderate

That Court House Affair.

The patents" talk about the short
age disclosed by Republican investiga-
tion Is Just so much rot, for 1t knows
very well that no shortage" would
have been discovered had It not been
for S. w. Hendricks, but the demands
of the x. o. p. makes distortion of facts
necessary. 1.-THE Only"
In view of the fact that Mr. Hend-
ricks COVERED UP for five years a
shortage of $500, credited against a
predecessor, the absolute correctness
of 1.-THE only's" statement will appear
to all.
Mr.. Hendricks is probably respons-
iblc for his own defeat and the loss of
the contest case for Mr.. Farrell, in
order that Clerk Larsen might ask for
this audit which has resulted so dis
astrously.
There cannot be the slightest doubt
that all this recent wholesale enlight-
mcnt into affairs at the court house Is
the direct result of Mr.. Hendricks
untiring efforts to bring the fraud and
corruption to public notice.
The recent private audit of his own
books, made by Mr.. Hendricks and his
friends just before the official auditing
committee was instructed to 20 back
a little further, is that upon which
the Democratic bunch bases its asscr-
tion that mo shortage would have
been discovered but for Mr. Hendricks. "
or course this was just little Demo-
cratic ruse that was thought to be a
great scoop.
What's the difference who discovered
the shortage anyway? 1t was there
and every man In the whole Demo-
cratic bunch was trying his best to
cover it up. Who doubts for u single
minute that the contest case was any
thing more than the last struggle to
keep these shortages from coming to
public light. With all due respect to
the principals In the affair, 1t must be
said that they were the victims of Cir
cumstances and had to do the best
they could. The best they could do was
less than nothing, and then in hope Of
recovering themselvesI 1T was decided
that one Of the principals should dis
cover the shortage before the official
auditing committee should get to it,
and then make the claim that has been
made.
Just remember please, that all dur
ing the agitation last fall "the only"
said nothing was wrong and vchem-
emily denied every statement made,
yet at the very time was in possession
Of nine-tenths of the information that
has recently come to light. A certain
Dutch Bible was responsible for the
difficulty, IL was said.

Carter II. Harrison Is a Democrat,
but great man even in these times
when it's hard for a Democrat to yet
any consideration. Harrison Is man
OF good common sense, and In an adj
dress, a short time ago, made the fol.
lowing remarks, which young men will
do well to heed. Said he: "In the first
place get the best education within
your power. IL will make you broad
and able to appreciate things. Then
be sure you like your profession or
business. II you enter one that you
do not like, you certainly will not sue
coed. ] need not say that you must
be honest, for your own sake as well as
others. You will find that one OF the
best things to do, If you want to be
happy yourself, Is to make Others so.
IL a man has an education, and a bust
ness he Is satisfied with. Is true to
himself and others, he cannot very well
help being contented, and the chief
thing Is for him to be true to himself.

The city road supervisor should at
once strictly enforce the law regard
ing the cleaning of water bitches, re.
pairing sidewalks and the trimming OF
shade trees. Within the next three
weeks thousands of visitors will come
to Logan and things should be put in
proper order. Brush and debris Of
every kind should be removed from
the streets, and they should be raked
and lcveled of as much as possible.
There are some side walks and bitches
In this city that remain in a bad con.
dition year after year. EVERY man
should be compelled to conform to the
law; there should be no exceptions
and no favorites. Those who repair
their walks deem it unfair to have to
walk over their neighbOrs walks
which are In delapidated condition.
For the good name of our city at this
particular time, when two large
gatherings will be held here, this work
should be attended to now. The
officers having the oversight of this
will have the universal support of the
people in an enforcement of the law.

The head of an Eastern agricultural
college says he once heard small
girl In school tell volubly all about the
river Amazon, but she was unable to
tell the distance from her village to
the nearest town, or to the capital or
the great metropolis of New York.
This story illustrates common weak
ness in our educational systematic
tendency to teach about far Off things
and countries to the neglect of mat
ters at home. 1t Is much more i'm
portant that the child should be
taught how to trace the rivulet flow
ing through her native town, or farm,
and become familiar with the native
flora than to We able to tell about the
river Nile, old Rome and other distant
countries. Every farmer, especially,
owes IL to future generations to inter-
est himself in the district school, and
to take hand in the general movement
to have simple agriculture and nature
studies made part of the school
course. City children as a rule know
more about our common plants than
pupils In the rural schools, from the
fact that the former are thus taught
while the latter are allowed TO grow
up In ignorance of the plants and flow.

have love of naturp inStilled In fheir
hearts and be taught something of her
wonderful methods, so that when they
grow up they will be well informed in
agricultural lines.

Senator Teller of Colorado has intro
duced a bill of Importance to thcWest
authorizing the Secretary of Agricult-
ure to conduct and carry on series of
experiments in conjunction with the
experiment station, in the non.corn-
growing states and territories, in the
breeding, rearing and finishing of live
stock for market; in the introduction
and development of breeds of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, suitable for
such regions and condition, and also
in the introduction and cultivation of
crops and forage plants other than In
dian corn, which may prove of value to
those states. The bill approprates
$4,000 for the coming fiscal year, and
$4,000 each for the four succeeding
fiscal years. The money received by
the department from the sale of stock
raised is to be used over again in con-
tinued experiments

The merchants that advertise will
get the business; those who will not
advertise will get left. This is true
everywhere in this progressive age.
The day Is gone by for people to hunt
meachants. Commercial men 60 to
the merchants with their samples OF
goods: in turn the merchants must 60
to the people IN some way and let
them know what they carry. Compe-
tition is too strong for people to in.
quire around much, our relatives will
not do 1t. So long as merchants fiatter
themselves with the idea that they do
not need to advertise just so long will
they be left. These ideas are not
expressed with selfish motive Alto
gether; the rule Is general, and 1t
works that way in all localities.

The japanese horse, according to
the Eastern correspondents, leaves
much to be desired both in war and
peace. He is measly, shaggy, woolly
little creature, with a temper that
would make a Western broncho look
amiable. II the Japs undertake to
make a cavalry charge with these
bucking brutes they are liable TO have
them baking right in the midst of
their enemies, or upendlng their riders
right in 1.-THE imminent deadly breach. "
The Japs themselves are all right, but
II would seem wise to provide them
selves with better horseheSh If they
expect to make good showing with
the cavalry arm OF their service. The
bravest men In the world could accom-
plish nothing riding into battle on a
lot Of sheep.
