CAN is not in possession of knowledge
of any over tact on the part OF any
member of the college faculty, but has
no hesitancy In saying that both
Professors Merrill and Widtsoe are re-
garded with i'll favor by many who in
some way have gained the idea that
they have not shown the proper attl-
tude in this fight, and at other times
before. Whether these are the
TRAITORS" TO whom The Journal re-
fers, we are not prepared TO say, but
in Justice TO the other members of
the faculty IL may be said that these
are the only members whose loyalty
we have ever heard questioned.
Whether or not there Is real founda-
feeling which is rather universal, THE
REPUBLICAN is not in position to
deny or affirm. If these gentlemen
feel concerned, and are misrepresented,
justice to themselves and the people
demands that they set themselves
right. If these are the "traitorous"
members to whom The Journal refers
1t should not hesitate to name them,
and II they have information TO sup
port their statements should give it
to the public that IL "should know.
In connection with this, another
rumor gaining general credence is
that the college has been betrayed in
the new appointments on the board of
regents, and II the rumor is correct in
regard to certain professors at the
college, this last rumor is certainly
not without foundation.
Lorenzo Stohl, one of the new men,
bers Of the board, is brother-in-law
to Prof. Merrill, and Mrs. Susie Young
Gates Is the mother-in-law Of DIR.
Widtsoe 1t Is said that this Is part
of deep laid plot In which the two
regents named are to respect the opin-
ions of the two members of the faculty.
The story goes further. In two years,
one Of the best friends Of
the college, will retire and at the
same time Bishop Evan Owens term
will end. 1t is presumed that these
places will be filled by some persons
to the Merrill Widtsoe inter-
ests. At this rate IL would take but a
short time for the reputed ants to
have control.
The REPUBLICAN does not assume
for these statements, and
gives them merely as rumors and
what they are worth. They are gen.
email. That there is method in this
If perchance certain feelings
do exist on the part of the members of
the faculty named, can not be denied.

The Great Speech.

Members of the Legislature OF
Utah, fellow friends of the University
push who may be at this time in the
gallery
my heart overfows and my
soul expands with unspeakable anti
cipations OF hope when j approach
this great question Of consolidation.
The germs of this idea flashed into
my mind like a revelation from on
high the day after William Jasper
Kerr was elected president OF the
Agricultural College. You know
about that time | had sent an init
matien around the circle to President
Mccormick that was in the hands of
nv friends. But just like all Salt
Lakers who become interested in the
outside world ne couldn't or didn't
take the hint. Now consolidation
means to consolidate. i am a con-
solidater, and / intend to remain so,
so long as it is to my personal in
terests. We believe in argument
whenever it helps out our side, but
If 1t cuts any ice on the other side we
are strongly opposed TO the use of such
unprofessional methods.
Henry Drummond, the great Scot
fish philosopher, has said that Love
is the greatest thing in all the world"
My undying friend and faithful co.
worker President Love says that he
accepts Mr. Drummond's statement
without any qualification. While |
certainly have proper appreciation
for the height, depth, width, length
and especially the thickness of Presi-
dent Loves skull, yet at the same
time | must beg leave to mildly differ
in opinion from Henry Drummond
and my friend President Love. But
before launching out into the middle
Of my argument / want TO call YOUR
attention to Pres. Loves most brill
liant stroke in favor of consolidation.
You know the student body of the
Agricultural College with their usual
bad manners and lack of propriety got
up big demonstration and barbecue
in opposition TO the attempted assas-
sination Of their alma mater. They
actually marched down town in body,
waved class flags, gave hideous and I'M
cultured yells and carried in line OF
march the following insulting and
outrageous placard: Consolidation
amalgamation, duplication and dam
nation.

after the occurrence of this great out.
rage got n telephone dispatch of the
placard and used 1t in lining up weak
kneed house members and in bolster
ing up Charley Hollingsworth. You
know during the latter part Of the
session Charley began to receive jolts
of public opinion from Ogden which
made him somewhat apprehensive as
TO his future legislative career. Prcsi
dent Love with unerring skill and
chivalrous courage displayed the
/ placard and accompanied it with the
following knockout argument: Any
body OF students possessing energy and
loyalty enough to conduct an orderly
and decent demonstration against the
attempted assassination of their alma

K|NGSBURY'S BIG SPEECH

NOTE.-(Once upon time in the
not far distant past, President Joseph
Torduemada Kingsbury delivered an
argument before joint committee
of Senate and House members in the
great commonwealth of Utah, other
wise known as Zion. The said Tor
quemada Gooseberry was known as a
mighty man Of valor and argumcnta-
tor of monumental size, but for some
reason his learned vaporings on this
occasion have been with heldfrom
the public gaze. Monday evening,
after generous supper Of pickles, ice
cream, limburger, onions, and Gus
tard pie, THE REPUBLICAN scribe
dreamed dreams and saw visions, and
in one of these was told Of certain
peep stone, the use of which would en-
able us to secure that speech Of said
Torquemada, OF which the public has
been wrongfully deprived. Once Sc
cured, the peep stone led us to the foot
of telephone pole In front Of The
REPUBLICAN office and there after
down seven feet and thirteen
inches we found Mr.. Kingsbury's
speech written in full. The papyrus
was little rusty and the characters
Egyptian, but our devil" translated
it in five minutes, and The REPUBLI-
CAN presents it here for your edifca-
cation, II not education.

Pumpkin Came From Asia.

The pumpkin is native of Asia
and was introduced into Europe about
1870. being first raised merely as
curiosity and later as a food for both
man and beast. Just when II was
brought to America is not known.
Some claim that variety of the
pumpkin was cultivated by the Amer
lean aborigines, being grown in their
maize fields. but this is probably
misapprehension. But If the pump
kin is not native to American soil, the
pumpkin pie certainly is.

Pres. Love has now taken to figures
and his calculations are not less won
derful than Stookey's. Loves effort
proves to him that the A. G. of U.has
everything to gain and the U. Of U.
everything TO lose by consolidation.
The fact that he is still for consolida-
ton is the greatest proof that he has
no faith in his own figures.

How to Keep Young.

Talmage Jr., is nothing like the
word painter that his father was, and
yet he is giving to the reading public
week by week some interesting and
instructive sermons. In the last issue
Of the Herald we published one Of
them with the above caption, how to
keep young or how TO keep from grow
ing old. lie gave two admirable sug-
gestions on the subject The first is
as follows:
"The best way to see the sunbeams
dance is to watch them through the
dancing eyes of a little child. The
best way to smooth out all the
wrinkles Of old age is to bury them in
the dimpled cheek of smiling baby
girl. The best way 10 send the blood
coursing through the withered arte-
ries Of threescOre years is 10 play
blind mans buff or hide and seek
with the boys and girls after the sup
per table is cleared and the school les
sons have been learned. The best
way to grow young is tOassocate with
the young. God pity you you can
not find any employment in making
the SHOWS Of Decembermelt before the
life giving rays Of May or June"
The 2nd: aged friend the reason
you are growing old and whitening up
is because you have stopped branch
ing out. You have taken in sail and
are drifting, simply drifting toward
the rocks Of death, and drifting fast
Take a new lease Of life by taking a
new interest i'm things. Study, study,
study. Work, work, work. Go and
hear every fine singer and every good
speaker and read every new book that
you can. The most foolish law the
United States government ever made
was when ii established old soldiers
homes, where the old veterans Of the
civil war could 60 and live and do
nothing. Ifan old soldier il physi-
cally helpless, then, Of course he
should be cared for"
There is a world Of good sense i'm
these two suggestions. Keep in
touch with the young, keep at work
and instead Of growing old you will
grow young.
DR.. Osler is no doubt yet a hard
worker but he hasn't time to play
with children, and so the wrinkles
gather and the unsympathetic ma
ture grows, and the temper is soured
and "chloroform" is the only remedy.

We can't see where the profit will be

present prices for country produce
farmers can't afford to raise fowls, cat
tie, dc. We heard a merchant say
the other day he remembered when
eggs were seven cents per dozen.
Yes, that was when cooks got two
dollars per month, a farm hand six
and seven. Now it is reversed; cooks
out Of reach, farm labor up in the
teens. How can the farmer live is
problem hard to solve unless there Is
a rise in all country produce.
