The Telephone Service.

The local telephone exchange Is un-
questionably the bummest PROPOSE
ton in the State of Utah, and II there
is single person in this city using a
phone who hasn't been tempted to
swear at least thirty-two times in the
last year, we would like to see the
color of his hair. The REPUBLICAN
has been importuned time and
again to roast the management to a
finish, but knowing the unfortunate
difficulties attendant in most business
cs has refrained. However, it would
seem that a years time should be SUI
ticient in which to remedy the ditiicul-
ty, but instead, the service is getting
worse all the time. Forbearance
ceases to be a virtue sometimes and
the universal kicking Is pretty good
evidence that that time has arrived.
1t is seldom that one rings for central
and gets return without consider
able delay, and the reply 'line's busy"
is so frequent that the subscriber
doubts whether this is always true.
A call for certain number results In
being given something else, and once
the right number is secured, the sub
scriber must be cut OIL no less than a
dozen times before the conversation Is
finished, Inquiries Of the operators
sometimes elicit caustic replies, and
in a general way the service is just
about as bad as it can be. We do not
know who is at fault altogether, but
do know that such service is not toler-
ated elsewhere. Telephone service is
practically worthless unless 1t can be
done with dispatch, and that the sub.
scriber should be annoyed and badger
ed into an ill-humor by unnecessary
delay each time the phone is used is
ridiculous.
II we recall matters rightly, a com
peting line asked for admission TO Lo-
gan last year. That line is said to be
giving excellent service In Salt Lake
City and Ogden. II the Bell people
are wise they will look into this mat
ter here before IL becomes necessary 10
let this company in.

The Canyon Road.

The time Is nearby when tourists
from Salt Lake and other places, to-
gether with our local people, will be
out camping in the mountains. Such
people are generally heavy taxpayers
and should receive such consideration
as will provide them fairly good roads
to travel over. The road i'm Logan
canyon TO the forks and over the right
hand fork to the summit Of the noun
tains is county road. Every summer
hundreds of teams pass over that road
loaded with the surplus fruit of the
county, enroute to Diamondyille and
other points to market products, the
proceeds OF which is generally brought
home to be spent. For the above rea-
sons and numerous Others that might
be mentioned the mountain roads
should receive a little attention. A
community should always give some
attention TO roads that are tributary
TO il. If not, the business Interests
will suffer, for people will not trave
over roads that are in bad shape. \
prominent man recently forded Logan
river at the forks, and stated that the
water ran into his wagon bed. If this
is true, that river is dangerous to ford
especially for light vehicles. A bridge
placed at this point might avoid seri.

Roosevelt is Dangerous.

In referring TO the charge that often
comes from Democratic source that
Roosevelt as President, is dangerous
man, the Burlington Republican says:
"He is and always has been dan
gerOuS man. He was dangerous to
shirks, thieves and big mitt men on
the force when he was police commits
sioner of New York. He was danger
Gus to the enemies OF the country
when preparing for the Spanish war,
and to the Spaniards at San Juan.
lie was dangerous to the dishonest
officers of the army after the war. He
was dangerous TO the officers OF the
army who hadn't sense enough TO
keep their mouth shut when in the
service. He has been especially dan
gerous to the thieves and grafters in
the postal and other departments Of
the government service. He is dan
gerOus to the trusts and big corpora
tions that are seeking any special
privileges from the government for
the purpose of robbing the public.
He is dangerous man TO lazy, incOm-
petent, dishonest and undisciplned
public servants everywhere and of
course, he is dangerous man TO the
Democratic party, Yes, Roosevelt is
very dangerous, and that is why the
people are going TO re-elect him with
an overwhelming majority. They
like a man who is dangerous in GER
tain ways"

What they are.

Roosevelt assistant secretary of the
navy, which Office he later resigned at
the outbreak of hostilities with Spain.
Returning to the bad lands Mr.. Roose-
welt organized his famous regiment of
Rough Riders for service In Cuba.
The history Of Roosevelt and his
Rough Riders during the Santiago
campaign is well remembered, Re-
turning to the United States after
the war was over, Colonel Roosevelt
found himself already talked of for
the gubernatorial nomination Of New
York. He was nominated and elect
ed governor over Augustus Van Wyck,
the Democratic candidate, by 1916
votes.
From the governors chair to the
vice presidency was but step, al
though an unwilling one, for Mr..
Roosevelt. He was nominated at
Philadelphia June p, 1900 for the
second highest Office in the gift OF the
people.
Mr.. Roosevelt, IL is said, was un-
willing to have his name presented to
the convention, declaring that he did
not desire the nomination. There
was great popular demand for his
nomination, however, and he finally
yielded. He had served but little
more than six months when the assas-
sination of President Mckinley re-
suited in his elevation to the execu-
tive chair.
The wife of President Roosevelt
was Miss Edith Kermit Carew. The
president has six children. The eld-
est, Miss Alice, is now twenty years
old. The Others are Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., now sixteen; Kermit, aged
fourteen; Ethel twelve years old;
Archibald nine, and Quintin, six.
The president has been twice married,
Miss Alice being the child of his first
wife, who was Miss Alice Lee of
Boston.

A newspaper is an enemy to bulletin
board advertising on general prin-
cipleS but there are occasions when
bulletin boards may bring better re-
suits than a newspaper. The editor of
an exchange remarks that he observed
one in front OF store in his town not
long ago which read; BE U buy
Pants Come In And See Ours" He
went in and there was not a confound-
ed man clerk in the store so he bought
a fan and walked out.

When a man becomes welded to a
wife in Canada he cannot shuttle hcI
of quite so easily as he can in the
United States. Divorces are not
granted by the lower counts. Evi.
dence is taken by them in the case
and it is submitted to the higher
tribunals in Ottowa for them to pass
upon. To close a divorce case there
involves an outlay of hundreds OF
dollars, and as result there is a
healthier consideration Of the respon.
sibilities of married life ere it is en-
tered into, and once married, the
man and wife not well mated find il
more convenient and advantageous to
consider their difficulties calmly and
dispassionately rather Than go To
court.

Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine OF every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiees-
ton. II is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease, not organic. are not only
traceable to. but are the direct result of indi-
gestion. All God taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart. and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
