There is Il bill pending before Con-
gress at the present time which pro.
vides for the expenditure of S2i, 100000
for the bettermcnt of roads in the u.
s. This money is to be spent in com
munities where the people are willing
TO put up one-half or onc-third as
much as the National government.
The bill is not particularly intricate
and its whole substance is contained
in the statement above This bill can
be passed if sufficient pressure is
brought to bear on the Congressional
and Senatorial bodies, and every per-
son can add tothis pressure very mat
crially by addressing their representa-
tives at Washington City. Cache
county is contemplating the construc-
tion Of good roads, and it would GER
tainly prove great thing if one-thrd
or onc-half the expense were borne by
the National government. Write Con-
gresham Howell at Washington City
asking him to use his influence for the
passage Of the bill

lation, and want that violation stop
ped, you ought to be willing to testify
in the matter, and give the officers
every other assistance possible. You
are not a good citizen If you shirk the
responsibility that rests on you in such
matters.
The average citizen naturally sees
more violation of the law than does
the police authorities, for the violator
is not so guarded as against the police,
and the citizen should be willing to
give the officer, his servant, the ad.
vantage of that knowledge. Instead
Of making the officers work harder
give him what assistance you can, ano
credit for what he does. The result
will be satisfactory all around.

The new councils attention Is called
to the fact that a billiard hall is being
operated in this city i'm direct violation
of an ordinance now on the books. Has
this council the nerve to permit such
a state of affairs to continue or have
they that greater nerve and stamina
required to say that such things shall
not be? If this council chooses to per-
nit that billiard hall to remain where
il is, will it not at least repeal the or
dinance making IL illegal TO conduct
this hall where 1t is? AS matters now
stand, law is farce. The city police
authority is bound by oath to do It's
duty, and that duty requires the ar
rest of violatOrs of ordinances on the
books, yet i'm this instance city coun-
ell has given citizen right TO vio-
late an ordinance, and the police force Is
nil. This is shame and disgrace and
it is but justice to the citizens that
the new council should get on the
right side of itself by doing something
sensible i'm this matter-either legal
ize that hall or compel it to stop opera

Men from Missouri are accused OF
always wanting to see things before
they will believe them. Some of the
farmers in Macon county. Mo-, accord
ing to the Kansas City Journal, have
had practical lesson In scientific ag-
ricutural which has opened their eyes.
In settling an estate a st. Louis law
yer came into possession OF some al
most worthless city property. This he
traded for some land in Macon county
which was regarded as equally value
less. The larger part of 1t was wet
most of the time, and good crop had
never been raised upon it and never
could be, the farmers told him. The
lawyer called in an engineer and had
him make plans for a drainage system.
Then he engaged practical farmer
who understood the science of agricul-
ture and put him to work. The land
was drained perfectly, IA bog became
Il fine meadow, and where swamp
had been from time immcmorial a
bumper corn crop was raised. The
trade" which was valued at less than
81 an acre, would now bring $50. Ten
thousand dollars worth Of corn was
raised on it last year. The farmers and
landowners of Cache county are not less
foolish than those who had never seen
tit to reclaim that bog which has
yielded a st. Louis lawyer great sums
of money. With good roads in this
county, land values would increase
twenty per cent, yet the farmers OF
Cache are the ones who have retarded
the construction of good roads.

Cooperation Necessary.

When interviewed as to whether the
officers are in accord with Mayor Rob
sons suggestion that the ordinances
be more strictly enforced, Marshal
Crockett said: 1--WE are ready to do it.,
and will gladly do so, if we can get
the assistance necessary TO enforce the
laws. But we cannot make much of a
change single handed. While it is our
duty as officers of the law to hunt up
evidence and make arrests, the fact
that we are officers makes ii almost
impossible for us to get evidence suf-
ticient to convict. If we suspect that
there are certain violations and make
an investigation, every mouth Is clos
ed against us. When citizens make
complaint to us and say they know of
certain violations, we ask them If they
are willing to swear out an affidavit,
or If we make the arrest, will they be
willing to testify in court. The an
Swer is always no, we don't want to
be mixed up in such things We
promise to make Investigations, and
do do that, but with the result stated
above. As soon as one of us puts in
an appearance everything is hushcd
up, and it is seldom that we can get
the evidence necessary. We can cite
you to the fact that we did close up
certain gambling den here Just as soon
as we got the evidence necessary, and
we have arrested minors in the billiard
halls. There is one saloon man in this
town, in particular, who we believe
violates the law frequently. We be-
lieye this, but have been unable to
catch him, and those who claim to
know Of these things refuse to give
evidence on oath. We will catch this
fellow, yet, and others as well, but If
we could have the cooperation of
honest citizens our work would be
quicker and more effective"
Only those who are or have been Of
hcers of the law can fully appreciate
the force and truth of Marshal
Crockett's remarks. While the OIL
GERS singlehanded can do much to keep
order, and the city in healthy
moral state, their work can be made
surer, and better results obtained If
the square" "honest" citizen who
makes howl will only join forces
with the officers and assist in that
moral elevation. If you know Of vio-

One year ago, the papers of this city
urged the necessity of commercial
organization, Board of Trade, any
thing in the way of organization that
would work for the upbuilding and
progress OF this city and county. A
REPUBLICAN representative inter-
viewed most of the business men OF
the city, and all heartily agreed that
such an organization is exactly the
proper thing, that our growth must
necessarily be slow without united
effort, etc Not only did all agree as
to the necessity of such an organiza-
tion. but with the exception of two or
three, all signticd a willingness to be-
come members of an organization for
the pushing Of Logan city and the
county-and there the matter drop
ped. A year has elapsed and nothing
has been accomplished. AS one of our
most prominent business men express
ed IL the other day-"the business
men here are at cross purposes, and II
is practically an impossibility to unite
them, although it seems on the face
of things, that it would be an easy
matter" This Is unfortunate If true,
and we can only hope that this gentle
man, astute as he is, has made IA mis-
take in his conclusion. Logan and
Cache county need commercial or
ganization, and here's hoping that in
time we may get it,

Mayor Robinson's suggestion that a
cite for new city hall be secured at
once is eminently proper but that
advice should not be acted upon until
careful consideration has been given
the matter Various pieces Of ground
are suggested by the different inter
eStS active in the matter, but the
city's interest should be considered
first of all There is an assumption
and general expression that the
building should be located on Main
street, even though it occupies ground
that comes exceedingly high. Others,
more conservative, and having
no money interest in the placing Of
the structure, feel that there is
no particular reason why the build
ing should be erected on Main street,
and suggest that a location on one Of
the back streets but Il block or two
from Main and where real estate can
be secured at nominal figure is
much more preferable. Certain per-
sons suggest that the County Court
House corner be sold and the city and
county unite in constructing splen-
did building. This suggestion is Il
good one but most of these insist that
the Vaughan corner Main and First
North, is the only place for such a
building. The city property along
the dugway also is suggested as being
a suitable place for the city building or
a Joint county and city building.

MONEY STOLEN FROM TRUNKS.

$1,40O was stolen from a prominent
citizen of Abbeville, Ga, few days
ago. He had collected the money, and
instead of putting the same in a bank,
ne carried it home and put it in his
trunk. The hinges were taken off
his trunk while he was up town and
the money was stolen.
A merchant in our town had $175,
which he intended paying out on Mon
day morning. On Saturday night he
left the money in his trunk aQd ran to
the warehouse to help save a bale OF
cotton that was burning. Some one
picked the lock and when he returned
the money was gone and has never
been recovered.
So many people in the country make
this same fearful mistake. -. s.
The safest and most reliable place
to keep your money is to deposit the
same in your home bank, where you
can always get it when you want it.

WILD HOOTS AND JEERS
Greeted Advent of Mrs. Chadwick at
Her Home Town-Unruy Mob
Surrounded Train.

Five times indicted by the United
States government at the exact min
ute that her train rolled into the
station, Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick
reached Cleveland, O., from New York
Wednesday afternoon. She was greet
ed with jeers, boots and Kisses by the.
crowds that gathered in the depot
when her train arrived, and howied
at by thousands gathered in front of
the federal building
The last sound that reached her
from the outside world as she passed
into the suffy, i'll smelling Office of
Sheriff Barry, in the county jail, was
the boot of derision from the people
who passed in front of the doorway.
She made no attempt to give bail, and
after brief stop in the office Of the
clerk of the United States court, was
taken to Jail.
She is held in w0man's department
of the jail, and her palatial residence
on Euclid avenue, of which the fur
nishings alone are valued at 100000,
is occupied by her maid.
Her courage held to the test, but
her body failed her and when she
had mounted the three nights Of stairs
leading to the tier of cells where she
is to remain she collapsed utterly and
fell in a dead faint
Water was quickly brought to her
and in a few seconds she revived, and
was again woman of business. Her
first request was that her lawyer
be sent for, and she was soon Engaged
in a conference with him concerning
her. defese.
There are now seven indictments
against her, five additional charges
having been laid against her in the
federal court at Cleveland Wednes-
day afternoon. It would require sure
ty to the amount of at least 100000
to give her freedom, and there is no.
body in Cleveland who will furnish
that amount for her. She las herself
no idea of giving bail and will remain
in Jail.
Mrs. Chadwicks train was SEIZED
uled to arrive at 11:10 o'clock in the
morning, but it was three hours later
before it reached Cleveland. The de,

pose. that Of increasing the crowd 81
curious at the depot. When il fin
ally rolled into the station there wag
a rush from the further end of the
iron fence that kept the crowd of Gu
rious from the tracks.
This mob had broken through the
police, swarmed over the fence and
through the gate and upon the tracks,
so that when the train came to stand
still there were about thousand per.
sons about the cars.

LAWS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Senate Passes Bill Relating to Our In
sular Possessions After an
Extended Debate.

A Washington special says: The
senate Friday, by vote OF A to 20,
passed the Philippines civil govern
ment. bill The final vote was proceed
ed by the presentation of many
amendments and general discussion
of them as well as of the. provisions Of
the bill. The discussion was confined
quite generally to the merits of the
measure. On some of the amendments
suggested by democratic senators sew
eral western. republicans voted in the
affirmative, but Mr.. McCumber was
the only republican who voted with
the democrats against the final pass
age Of the bill.
The most notable change made dur
ing the day was the lowering of the
rate Of interest on railroad bonds to be
guaranteed by the. Philippine govern
ment from to 5 per cent.
The bill as passed exempts from
taxation all bonds issued by the Phil
ippine and Porto Rico governments;
authorizes municipalities in the Philip
pines to incur a bonded indebted
ness amounting to per cent of the as
sessed valuation of their property at
per cent interest; authorizes the
Philippine government to guarantee
the payment of interest on railroad
bonds at the rate of 4 par cent per an
mum; provides for the administration
OF the immigration laws by the Philip
pine laws; establishes a system for
the location and patenting of mineral,
coal and saline lands; fixes the metric
system for the islands and gives the
civil governor the title of governor
general.
During the day Mr.. Beverage, from
the committee on territories, reported
the statehood bill, and he will make
motion on the first day that the SEN
ate convenes in January that the con
sideration of the bill shall be entered

bill the provision exempting bonds
from taxation met with opposition
from Mr.. German, who contended the
exemption was wrong in principle. Mr.
Carmack said he was opposed to the
railroad bond provision because it
would make it more difficult for the
United States to get out of the Philip
pines. He quoted the presidents hope
that our Cuban policy might at some
time be adopted in the Philippines.
This he characterized as a renuncia-
tion Of the republican policy, and in
line with the democratic platform.
we welcome the president to the
ranks of the anti-lmperialists," he said.
"He is all if not quite eligible to
membership in the Boston antiimpe-
rialist league"
