Salt Lake city, and with $50 extra
concession granted the committee by
courtesy OF the Sweet Candy Co. 10
their agent, Mr.. Clyde Spencer, a resi-
dent Of this city, the display was un-
questionably one of the very best sent
from the capital
The committee in charge, with DR..
Geo. Thomas at the head, had arrang-
ed everything in a splendid way and
the display showed to the best advant-
age. There was red and green fire TO
the limit, set pieces galore, bombs and
a general list as follows: Aerial b.

The crowd expressed great appreci-
alton OF the display and it seems con-
elusive that this part of the affair was
equal to all expectation. 1t certainly
was enjoyable.

Blackmail Becoming Too Easy.

A combination of wealth. notoriety
and loose loving makes some of our
society people peculiarly invulnerable.
Their reckless dissipation Is curiously
accompanied with a craven dread OF
exposure. A li,. ocracy has not yet
dared to ASST e the prerogatives Of
an aristocracy OF birth. The result
Is that, with a standard Of living no
higher than that of England and the
continent and much greater fear Of
criticism, our plutocracy Is singularly
helpless before the assaults Of black.
mailers Of all degrees. Blackmailing
has, in fact, become so ridiculously
easy an occupation that we seriously
doubt II any gentleman of good intel
lectual parts should condescend to
pursue 1t so long as the higher forms
OF burglary and forgery still offer a
career open to talent.-New York

IN OTHER STATES.

From the report of the minority OF
the Investigation Commission 1t is
noted that in Idaho where the mat
ter OF investigation of the advisability
of consolidating the educational in
terests of that state was left to the
Board of Education, board'not pre-
viously selected Tor peculiar purpose,
it was found in 1902 to be inadvisable
and improper to attempt the CONSOLE
dalton OF the educational institutions,
these including the State University,
School of Mines, and Agricultural
College. 1t Is also fact that in such
States as Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, and
Colorado II has been decided that after
the state has for years followed the
policy OF maintaining and developing
these institutions separately, 1t is not
feasible to consolidate. The editor Of
this paper is also familiar with the
fight that Indianapolis (which like
Salt Lake, wants to be a greater"
city, has made to wrest the State

The goat is an important parsonage

Years ago Weber county had exceed
ingly bad roads, some OF the worst In
the State. Any attempt TO build bet
ter ones by team work was considered
too great an undertaking, and follow
ing prolonged consideration, "a narrow

six miles Of trackage was purchased
and put into operation. Year after
year the labor was continued until
all the roads of the county were made
good roads. passable at any time of
the year, and perfect in good weather.
Cache county Is now where Weber
county once was-with roads bad be-
yond expression. We MUST throw
of this lethargy, decide to build good
roads, and then get at II. THE RE-
PUBLICAN respectfully suggests that
at the coming comfy conventions on

construction Of good roads by any
means available should be nominated.

ball grounds there were pulled OF at
four O'Clock five races, each OF which
was a good one. The remarkable
feature in connection with the races
was the absence OF delay and wrengl-

went of like clock.work, the horses
made good time, the finishes were ex-
citing, and the splendid crowd enjoyed
the races to the limit. The results
were as follows.
First race-2:25 trot and pace

scene more wildly before one. He

suddenly a round shot struck the wall

his thigh am the horses back, he him

most recent meeting OF the Ma MAS
ISOLATION resolution favoring the
consolidation Of the U, OF U. and A.

was tabled for two weeks as a result
OF the invention of friends. The only
conclusion to be drawn Is that al!

In the effort to effect the consolidation
that there may be greater Salt Lake.
When Salt Lake business interests get
busy in this matter it's high time
that the Logan and Cache Valley in

effective way. They can do this II
they will.
