THE WHICHNESS OF THE HOW.

For fifteen years the State has main
tanned the two great schools. The
State during the past fifteen years has
been less able than now to support
these schools, and yet after spending
enormous sums during this time to
make the Agricultural College the
institution that 1t is today, there
are those who now want TO kill IL.
This is the height OF folly, worthy
only of fierce partianship born Of
jealousy, and we predict that the
move will act as boomerang. The
situation in nutshell is presented by
Student Life in an editorial, from
which the following is taken:
1.-The University is located in the
center Of population OF the state.
Salt Lake has population of $4,000
1t Is a railroad center, 1T has street
car facilities, paved walks, and other
advantages that tend to attract stud
ents. And now after Fifty years Of
growth the University has succeeded
in registering S75'students in one year
The Agricultural College Is located
almost on the northern boundary Of
the state, In u town OF only 5000 in
habitants, on a branch of single To-
cal railway. But in spite OF all disad-
yantages, the college has grown, and
through the recognition OF its splendid
achievements during its FIFTEEN wears
OF existence 725 students have regist-
cred here this year. Our growth dur
ing the past two years has been no
thing less than phenomenal"
The University, filled with dissen-
sion and lack of management in its
faculty, without head possessing real
executive ability-a condition that
makes impossible the growth of any
institution-hass struggled along fifty
years, spending great sums Of money
to little advantage and now seeks TO
lay their failure to another State in
stitution which, with every disadvan-
tage, has by energy good management,
high ideals and efficient work forged
rapidly forward until it has forced it.
self in to the favorable consideration of
thousands onceviolently opposed to it.
This success has embittered the
souls of Others too small to rejoice in
|progress, hence the fight. Under the
cry OF economy" duplication" etc,
an effort is made TO divert State
moneys away from the most progress
sive institution in the State-and
where would it go? More than likely
to Fair Commissions" Bounty
funds" and some other funds for graft
ers, If the Agricultural College is
using enormous sums of money, there is
ut least something to show for it and
there's the rub, the showing is not in
Salt Lake City.

The Salt Lake members had an eye
10 business from the start Of the
Legislature. They have the Presi-
dent of the Senate, Speaker Of the
House and either majority on each
committee or the chairman. Salt Lake
county has worked among the out
side members SO there is not that
union among these members such as
there has been in previous legislatures.
The Cache Valley members have been
led to believe all along that nothing
serious would be done against the A.
c. of U. and when the bill was sprung
for an amendment to the constitution
il came like a thunderbolt. From
that time earnest work has been done
by the friends of the college.

Many who were at the splendid re-
ception tended the Legislature by the
Agricultural College doubtless remcm-
Der the words of commentator and
praise that were showered upon the
officers of the institution for the ex-
cellent progress that had been made.
Among the speeches was one by Sena-
tor Bamberger, wherein he expressed
himself as being delighted in every
way with the college, and few We're
more profuse in general praise. How
ever, upon his return TO Salt Lake the
gentleman in some mysterious way
changed front, and the college has
no more virulent enemy than Senator
Bamberger. 1t might be interesting
to know by what process the mid
GET arrived at his later conclusions.

fight so aggressive that the onslaught
can not be withstood. Let them &C
cept the challenge and make it poll
itcal battle OF any other kind Of bat
tie, but go in and fight like the Japs
During the recent fight, the Univer.
sity people attempted TO show up the
wonderful! advantages Salt Lake has
to offer. Did they mention such dis
advantages as n hundred saloons, hun
dreds of houses Of III fame, numerous
gambling dens, pool rooms on the big
races and every other conceivable de-
basing and immoral proposition in ex-
istence? 1t doesn't seem kindly to
speak OF these things, aud IL is TO be
regretted that it is necessary. Salt
Lake possesses every kind Of temp
tation for young men and women, and
before there Is consolidation of the
great schools of our State with head
quarters at Salt Lake, the public must
consider these things.
Many people outside OF the capital
city are unacquainted with the evil
devices that arc carried on in that
city. There are two pool rooms on
horse races. These rooms have a
special telegraph service TO the race
tracks in New Orleans, Los Angeles
and San Francisco. Large black
boards are placed on the walls in these
pool rooms with the names of the
horses and amounts bet, etc. Men and
boys are there daily placing their
money on their favorite horses
There are scores of gambling houses
where roulette, faro. poker and dice
and all other games of chance are in
dulgcd in.
There are scores Of houses of assign.
alton filed with women of no virtue,
many Of them with loathsome diseases
AT many Of the hotels card playing
is going on, day after day.
There ase a few evils carried on
there by which young men are led
estray. Yet in the face of these
facts Salt Lake people want the
Agricultural College abandoned and
taken to S. L. city. The question
arises, will people who live in the
country feel safe in sending their sons
and daughters to such city to re-
ceive college education? When
these conditions are known in all their
fulness and gravity, those who are
clamoring for this change will find
that outside people will not risk the
future of their sons and daughters in
such place.
When Governor Stanford, of Cali
fornia endowed college, did he have
it located in one of the largest cities
of the state? No! 1t was built and
maintained in the small city of Palo
Alto in which there is neither saloon
nor house Of i'll repute today.
Those who are urging that Salt Lake
City should become the educational
center of the state had better con-
slider well what they are doing.

JUSTIFICATION.

Heretofore there has been little
friction between Salt Lake City
and Logan. LoganiUes and Cache
Valley people generally have been
proud OF the capital of Zion and have
been pleased with any progress mani
tested there. The capital of any
state should be It's pride and much is
usually sacrificed by the state at large
that its capital may be a thing of
beauty and a city worthy Of favorable
comment. However, no capital city
has right to suck the life blood of
its state, no right to demand all that
there is, no right to sacrifice the
states educational interests merely
for its own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Least OF
all has it the right to misrepresent
actual conditions in regard to itself
or some other city in order to attain
its desired end.
1t is fact that friends of the Uni
versity in this fight have permitted
their friendship to get out of all
bounds, all reason, so that misrepre-
scntation in every conceivable way
has been the rule rather than the ex-
ception. From the converting of the
legislature members of committees,
professors and business men, poured
into the ears of legislators statements
Nil l,n
growth and worth Of the A. G. of u,
the cost Of maintenance of cert ain
courses, the positions held by grad
yates and their number, the extraor-
binary advantages OF consolidation
at Salt Lake, all came in for the
baseSt Misrepresentation, so that
President Kerr, various professors
and whole Cache Valley contingent
found it almost impossible to stem
the tide against us. Considering these
things, Salt Lake city can hardly be
surprised If in the future Logan re-
talates not in the same dishonorable
manner, but as sharply. The friends
OF the University, or rather the
enemies of the A. c., insist that
the loss of this fight means only
that 1t will be begun again and kept
up until this school is sacrificed. The
people OF the north and the state at
large should accept the challenge and
begin now to prepare for battle.

The attitude assigned by the mem
bers from Cache in their last struggle
for the A C.,when bills l51 and l52, re-
stricting the studies in the Agricul-
tural college and the University came
up for passage, proves that each and
all of them, with other friends in the
house, were true and loyal to the last,
This is worthy of mention, as there
has been some talk INDUCED in regard
ing the loyalty TO the home institu-
ton, which has been without founda-
tion. This, like many other rumors
that get started, are drawn from
mems imagination. II such people
would be more conhding and less
Imaginary they would be happier by
far,and false accusations against their
fellowmen would not be so frequent.

Before the Cache delegation went to
the Legislature to work in the inter-
est of our College not word was said
about lobbying on the floor of the
house, notwithstanding the Univcr-
ity had from twenty to thirty Of their
supporters there all the time. But
when the Cache boys got there 1t was
IAN outrage to have politicians lobby
ing In the legislatures" it was IAN i'm

remarks as these were frequently
made. When the bill came before the

take hand against the college, but

him look like thirty cents.

The Salt Lake papers may ridicule
Harry Joseph, the laxative member
of the lower house in the Legislative
assembly, but there is not a man in
that whole body working harder for
the people than this gentleman. On
any proposition wherein he thinks he
is right he is an aggressive fighter.
Mr.. Joseph is a strong supporter of
the College and has given Messrs.
Roberts, Merrill and Vaughan good
support on this question.

Came to Logan Again and Meets
Pleasant Reception.

After a highly successful weeks
tour Of the towns in the northern part
of the county, the b. Y. c. students
returned and presented "Billee
Taylor" for the old folks of Cache
Stake Friday afternoon, and in the
evening to the public.
The afternoon performance de-
lighted hundreds Of the old people,
who filed the entire lower floor, some
having to go to the balcony. They
applauded heartily and gave every
evidence that they thoroughly appre-
ciated the show itself and the courtesy
extended TO them. Many were the
kindly expressions heard OF Professor
Robinson who directed the work so
ably, the students who did their work
so successfully, and the committees,
which left nothing undone to add to
the comfort and pleasure OF the old
folks.
Mr.. John Edwards, lessee and man.
ager of the opera house, gave free use
of the building, a courtesy that Is
deeply appreciated by all concerned.
Chairman John Deakin, with the
members of the various committees
hustled up things for the old folks and
these are also praised.
The affair was unquestionably a
joyous success, highly appreciated by
the old folks.

endurance is the most important
factor in a 300-mile race.
Last year the race was run in an
opposite direction, but this year the
management decided that the turns
should be taken to the left, to avoid
some of the most dangerous spots.
BY taking the turns to the left some
of the steepest hills are taken at
an upgrade, thus diminishing the
danger from accidents. Something
new was the completeness of the
telephone arrangements over the
whole course. There were telephone
stations along the course at inter-
walls of five miles or less and with
operators at each instrument. The
roadbed had been put in the best
condition possible and plentifully
oiled to prevent the excessive dust
which made last years race rather
dangerous in many spots. The
whole course was thoroughly po-
Iced and a fiagman was stationed
at the railroad crossing. An ar
rangement had been made with the
railroad company to prevent block
ing of the crossing during the prog
ress of the race.

AUTOS GO ONE HUNDRED
MILES IN TWO HOURS

The arrangements were perfect
in every respect and there was not
the slightest hitch at any stage.
The start was made at half past
five in the morning from the Jeri-
chic turnpike, where about 1900 per-
sons occupied the grandstand.
From the starting point, which was
about three quarters of mile west
of the Mineola railroad crossing,
the course ran to Jericho, thence
north to East Norwich, then over
the North Hampstead turnpike to
Greenvale, then south on Bulls
Head road to Willis avenue and on
Willis avenue back to the starting
point. The course is a trifie over
20 miles long. 1t had originally
been intended to make the distance
for the elimination race 2S3 miles,
the same as that for the cup race,
but after considerable wrangling
it was decided to shorten the dis
lance for the preliminary race to
1872 miles. This caused consid-
cradle dissatisfaction, as it gives
lighter machines, built for speed
only, an advantage over the heavier
machines, which are built for en-
durance more than for speed, as

key is trapped and must remain in
the box until released by an officer
There is an upper keyhole which
is set for the fast wagon and there
is a lower keyhole which is to be
used by the officer when not in a
hurry. The advantage of the upper
keyhole is that all an officer is re-
quired to do is to place the key in
the hole, turn it and wait for the
wagon. With the old system he
must ring the telephone bell, take
down the receiver and convey his
message to the officer at the station
in that manner, A criminal in
charge of the officer has every
chance to escape.
The cost of the new system is
$4,000, with the privilege of making
the payments in sums of $4,000 for
the first year, $1,000 for the second
and $4,000 for the third year.

May secure GAMFWELL
SYSTEM FOR THE POLICE

Spokane is the only city of it's
size in the United States which Is
not equipped with an up-to.date po-
lice telegraph system.
AT the present time officers max
Ing reports to central station use

TEN Is in many cases detrimental
to the successful handling of pris-
Oners by arresting officers. 1t also
does not record the position of the
officer who is telephoning. He can
telephone from any old place and
the officer on the desk at the sta
ton will not know but that he is on
his beat.
The city officials are now con-
,sidering the establishment Of the

leading police departments through.

the past IL years.

place about the streets Of the city.
At the station regular desk is set
up. On the desk is the apparatus
which records the outside calls.
The boxes, which are distribut-
ed about the city. can be used to
call the patrol wagon in emergen-
cies or for more leisurely reports.
1t also has a call for an ambulance
and the regular telephone receiver
and mouthpiece.
With this system there is no
chance for any dispute about the
time at which officers report to the
station. The patrolwen are sup
posed to report at certain hours
from their beats. The Gamewell
system not only registers the hours
but the minutes and half minutes,
and also the location of the box
from which the officer reports. The
system also provides a key, which
may be distributed to citizens. by
which they may call up the fast
wagon" at any time. In order to
prevent any pranks being played
upon the department, the citizens
