would we care TO do so--but this Is not
saying that we would refuse 10 do So
In fact we shall urge the people to
support the city plant under any and
all conditions, for that Is the only way
in which that 500, 900 investment can
be saved. However, If any feasible So
luton Of this difficulty is preached and
through prejudice aud disposition to
force things the proposition is turned
down, then we certainly would do our
urging with less grace than formerly.
When people refuse TO help them
selves. and prefer broil with attend
ant financial losses in preference TO
the sacrifice of little pride that
would bring peace and prosperity, then
IL seems that IL is almost useless 10
urge any remedial measure. THE RE-
PUBLICAN believes that peace at any
price within reason is purchased
cheaply. THE REPUBLICAN believes
the Hercules system and franchise
should be purchased at the lowest
possible price. We believe that II
should be ascertained whether the Tel
luride people will negotiate with the
city along the lines mentioned at the
recent public meeting, and we believe
that If this kind of deal can not be
contaminated then the business men
of this city can afford to stand behind
the city, purchase the system and
turn IL over to the city along the line
mentioned. One hundred business
men signed to note would be bank
able for $35 900, easily. In case no ne
gotiations can be made with the Tel
luride people then the proposition is
to tax, issue scrip, or make the fight
some other way. THE REPUBLICAN
believes IL is standing for the best in
terests of Logan in urging the pur-
chase of peace, good business, and a
good franchise.

that at the present time but three ex-
ira rooms are necessary TO provide am
ply for all the school children. They
say that with little expense they can
provide these three rooms and propose
to do so. 1t is argued that the con-
struction of Il large central building
at this time is absolutely unnecessary
and that in two or three years the
building fund will be in better condi-
ton than before the purchase OF the
Ritter property. They are willing to
admit that there may be a reasonable
difference Of opinion as to whether a
new central building should be erect
ed near the Woodruff or in the north
eastern part Of the city, but give 1t as
the opinion Of past boards and their
own through investigation that the
Woodruff cite is decidedly the most
advantageous. They acted on that
belief in the purchase Of the Ritter
property.

The Deseret Farmer in decrying the
disposition of local people to invest in
foreign propositions says that "a raisin
plantation in Dixie or an apple orch
ard in Cache county will pay five times
the revenue OF the doomed lands in
Mexico" We know little about
either and give this statement for
what IL is worah, coming as it does
from people who should know all
about both. However, IL must be re-
membcred that ii Is seldom the home
man who developcs the resources of
the country around him. 1t takes the
outsider TO come IN and discover the
value Of things. An oil expert sold
his Pennsylvania farm and went to
other fields to make his fortune. In
two years the farm he sold was the
center of the great Pennsylvania oil
fields. Local people have mines I'M
der their noses, refuse to develop them
and strangers come I'm and make their
fortunes. The home man sees a
glamour about some foreign PROPOSE
ton about which he knows little, and
passes up the certainties at homes.
This has been the rule so long that IL
seems the natural thing, and will
to the end, no doubt.

1t is astonishing how many people

nerve to move a hen Off her nest. If
any honest man has occasion to rake a
brother citizen over the Goals on ac-
count of personal or public grievance,
he can send in letter over his own
name and If it is not libel we shall

If tie public which has listened to
the excellent music of the Logan tab
ernacle choir during the past thirty
years had any real conception of the
many sacrifices necessary on the part
Of ex-leader Alexander Lewis in order
TO keep the choir together and make
OF IL musical organization of worth
and pleasure, the testimonial for him
at the tabernacle next Monday even
ing would draw the largest audience
ever assembled In that spacious build
ing. The length of service of choir
leaders Is more often thirty-one
months than thirty-one years, and the
man who stays the latter limit is GER
tainly possessed Of exceptional quail
ties. The patience required, the hard
work involved, the sacrifice in time
and Of pleasures during thirty-one
years of service as a choir leader is be-
yond the comprehension of the per.
son who merely sits in front and list
ems. Take our word for IL that the
least you can do is to go and give your
little old % cents and show your APP
probation that much.
