LOGAN LETTER.

hold on the state press is an easy
problem since your expose of his tao
tics. and the people here can readily
500 that with the Tribune it is
case of church and the Mormon hier-
archy: with the Herald politics; and
with the News an attempt to show
that he is the finest ever and that
the college would go to the dogs If
he were discharged. Further he has
the Logan Journal because he is
Democrat, and it appears as though
he has been successful in substituting
the lessees of the Logan Republican
Fred Turner and N. Ralph Moore.
Turner 1t will be remembered is the
man with a political record. He was
once a Democrat, then Republican,
and now a Democrat again. Polite
ally he is looked upon as the Frank j.
Cannon of Cache He can get on more
sides of a question than any man
that ever hit trail; he is Judas
Iscariot of the first water, and can be
handled for much less than thirty
pieces of silver. Moore is tran
cient who hit this country some two
or three years ago sockless and pen
niless. He is a warm friend of Rev.
Clemenson, who by the way is Presi-
dent Kerr's bosom friend and the key
hole reporter of the Salt Lake Trib-
une.
Fred Turner the political notorious
is again a Democrat speak advis-
edly-but before going further let me
say that if Congressman Joseph How
ell, H. Bullen, Jr., Joseph Odell,
w. H. THAN, Thomas Smart
ct al. ever did disrepufable
political act it was when they
permitted Fred Turner to get into the
councils of the Republican party. If
ever there was politician for rev.
enue only, a being of selfishness
through and through, a man without
political honor and utterly void of
principle, a polished schemer, and
the most beautiful gold brick that
ever was palmed off on an unsus-
pecting, honest, community it is this
man Turner.
Now Turner has gone back to the
Democracy. He said he would when
he turned his wonderfully X-Rays on
the disgruntled Democracy of Cache
county, but it was not thought then
that he could tell the truth. He has
evidently fooled the community by be-
ing truthful for once. He served two
terms as sheriff at the hands of the
Democratic party, and was nominated
for a third term. The flower of the
Democratic party would not follow
the ring rule of which Turner was the
prettiest link-save perhaps Presi-
dent Kerr-and revolted at the polls,
leaving him several hundred votes be-
hind. He saw his race was run; he
saw the decline and fall of Democ-
racy in Cache and quickly stepped
into the Republican party. In doing
so, like the cheap wall of dying rat,
he vented his spleen in lengthy
article castigating the people who re-
volted against him. He termed them
"disgruntled Democrats" and to his
faithful friends whom he termed
"Straight-up Democrats" he said
"Grieve not, straight-up Democrats,
that | am not with you, if / am not
with you l will be in hearing dis
tance," etc. Two years az he sought
and received the nomination for sher-
if on the Republican ticket and made
an aggressive, personal canvass, but
met with most crushing and humil-
iating defeat. The honest, true, loyal
citizens he had belittled and ma

Not so sick we have vomited."
They had gone forward in thought
and action. 1t would be qualification
and contrary to American manhood to
go backward by voting for Turner,
the Benedict Arnold. Their decision
righteously prevailed and Turner's
political career was thing of the
past.
There is nothing for him now in the
Republican party, and he has appar-
emily kept within calling distance"
and has returned to the fold Presi
dent Kerr, one of the "straight-ups,"
has undoubtedly pressed the button
which called him back. AS he is a
man of many parties it is rumored
that this step is short cut to the
American party with his friends
Moore and the keyhole reporter Be
that as it may, there is rejoicing in
the G. o. p. at his departure During
his short stay with us he has been
disturber, his hands always open,
ready to receive, utterly opposed to
giving, ready to stoop to any depths.
even to the sacrificing of faithful
friends, to satisfy his selfish greed
for the loaves and fishes. AS soon as
his lease on the Logan Republican ex-
pires his name and influence will not
be as large as the minutest speck on
the surface of a pin head. There is
thanks to the Great Ruler that he has
gone, and multitudinous prayers that
he may never return.

The meeting of the board of trus-
tees in Salt Lake City was a sad thing
for President Kerr. 1t deprived him
of having his favorite reporters-F.
J. Marshall, the muck artist of the
Logan Journal and N. e. Clemenson
of the Tribune-on hand to report the
meeting-one at the transom, the
other at the keyhole.
The Journal accuses Congressman
Howell of attempting to drive a son
of Cache out of the state. It takes as
a sweet morsel the attempt of the ego
tistic president of the college to drive
two sons of Cache out of the state.
both his equals. one so far ahead of
him educationally and otherwise that
he may never hope to reach him.
" .&
The Logan papers are making a
great stand on President Kerr while
as a matter of fact he has no support
outside of The Turner, Moore--Clem-
enson, Journal, A. G. combination,
save perhaps two or three prominent
men in the Republican party. He of
course, has most Of Turner's
"Straight-ups," at the same time
there are large numbers of Democrats
that have no sympathy with him.
Those that he has are from political
reasons, of course. Kerr and his
record before the constitutional con
vention is the greatest menace the
college has at the present time. He
may try to explain away his attitude
at that time by saying it does not ap-
ply now, and in various other ways
but his answer to Mr.. Thurman's
question on page 1913 of the record
sweeps all his reasons away.
Mr.. Thurman-Do I understand you
that If a state were rich and able to
bear 1t, you would favor separation
of these institutions?

CIRCUMSTANCES would I favor a

Differences Between Lieutenant
Walker and the New York Cont.
mental Jewell Filtration Company.

Washington, June 26.-Acting Sec.
letary of the Navy Darling conducted

ticulars. An order was recently issued
transferring him to another station,
but an appeal was made to the Pesl-
dent to have Lieutenant Walker re-
tanned at the Charleston yard, when
the President directed that the order
for his transfer be held up until he had
been advised Of all the facts in the
| case. 1t was claimed that the 1ieuteE-
ant only did what he deemed to be his
duty.
Those heard today on behalf of the
| company were John Dougherty and
w. 7. Anderson, president and vice
| L. esi'ent, respectively, OF the company

Commanders Appear to Regret That
Peace Will be Concluded.

Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, June o.
Very vague dispatches reaching here

edited for the army, make the coudi-
tons under which the proposed peace
agreement is to be reached very in
differently understood. In conse.

a military initiative for an ar.
mistice had been expected. but
although General Linevitch and Kuro.
patkin express the conviction that Rus
STA is drifting toward peace, no action
looking to an armistice has yet taken
place. On the contrary, the command
ers appear to- regret that at the time
when the army has reached it's maxi
mum strength, it is likely to be de-
prived of victory.
Numerous small bodies of japanese
scouts have appeared in the regions OF
either Russian flank, and it is feared
that they were intended to screen the
turning operations of the Japanese, as
before the battle of Mukden.

ments have been already begun, blu

will be controlled. Business is at

The general strike, which began to-day
was preceded last night by attempts a

mons tonight defeated the opposition
motion of censure on the government
in connection with the army stores
scandal in the South African wal by
a vDte of 329 to 255, after a debate
that occupied the afternoon and night
sessions.
The government acted mainly on the
defensive, disclaiming responsibility.
1t was intimated hat the officers in
volved might yet be able to %exonerate
themselves, as the evidence taken be-
fore the committee had not been fully
substantiated.
In the course OF the debate Premie-

former war secretary, underwent a
fierce cross examination which they
