"Meaningless.'

That clause in the democratic state
platform declaring against the njec-
zion of politics into the management
and administration of our public
schools while splendid thing within
itself, is absolutely meaningless and
useless so far as being force in the
retention of the Agricultural College
at Logan, 1t does not come within a
mile of touching this particular ques-
ton, and as an evidence of the strength
Of the Cache delegation it is monu.
mental in its smallness. 1t doesn't
touch hide nor hair of the vital Ques.
ton at this time, and the assertion Of
the democratic organ that "some OF
the university democrats looked
askance at this plank" is so absurdly
ridiculous as to excite sympathy rather
than laughter If the democratic del
egatiOn were sent to the legislature
from Cache, and II gave the university
consolidationists no greater scare nor
more strenuous opposition than is con.
tanned in that clause, or one that came
no nearer to the question, then indeed
might they as well stay at home and
save expenses

"They Failed

In its Saturdays edition the demo
cratic organ said"the only effort made
at the democratic state convention
was one to get plank against con-
solidation inserted in the platform.
That effort failed"
If Reed Smoot and the republican
ticket are the only enemies of the Ag-
ricutural College, how does it come
that that effort failed? What was
the matter with Barber the all power
full, Nebeker the spielcr. Monson the
manipulation, Owen lie Spartan?
Where were those other forty-seven
democratic stalwarts from Cache
county?
Why did the democratic legislative
bunch fail when among their own
friends, members of their own
party? How does it come that the
Cache democratic quartette among
democrats, hundreds of whom we're
friendly to the A. c." failed in their
efforts to get into the platform a
plank favorable to the A. c? Were
the distinguished Cacheitcs suddenly
palsied? Did anyone hear any thun-
deruus roar from the wise men from
the north on democratic state conven-
tion day?
The democratic organ says an effort
was made to get INTO the platform a
plank favorable to the A. G. Who
made the effort? Is there any record
Of any great fight made by the demo-
cratic delegation from Cache? Did
Mr.. Barber make one of those spell.
binding speeches? 1t certainly did
not appear In any OF the Salt Lake
papers. Did Hon. +. X. Nebeker
make one of his Incompatible pleas?
Did he thunder, roar and bulldoze the
delegates? Is there any evidence at
all that the Cache democrats, either
one of 'em or all, went down there to
fight for the college, first, last and al
ways? No there is not. And regard
less of what they went to do, is there
any evidence that they accomplished
anything? Instead, they failed.
According to the nemocratic organ,
hundreds of delegates were friendly,
friendly resolution was introduced, and
there were present to champion the
cause tho four extraordinarily able
men whom the Cache democrats desire
to send to the legislature. Yet 1.-THE
effort failed" Doesn't it seem queer,
Mr.. Voter? Under the circumstances
doesn't it seem peculiar for the demo-
Gratis 10 claim that the salvation Of
the college lies only in democratic
hands? In fact, doesn't the result of
the democratic state convention indi-
ate that DEMOCRACY, rather than re-
pub canism, is against the college?
Doesn't it appear that If the demo-
cratic legislative ticket was unable to
accomplish anything with democrats
in convention, they would be far less
likely to accomplish good in a legisla-
ture that is certain to be composed
largely of republicans and Americans?
Think it over, Mr.. Voter.

DAY DUNNING ACQUITTED.
MT. Ayr Banker Is Freed by Jury
at Osceola of Charge of Fraudu-
lent Banking.

Day Dunnin@, the former Mt. Ayr
banker, the failure OF whose private
bank at Mt. Ayr some three years ago
created a great sensation, was declared
not guilty by jury who tried him at
Osceola last week on the charge of
fraudulent banking. Three or four other
indictments growing out Of the bank
failure are standing against him, but
the failure to convict him in this case
will probably result in all of them being
dismissed and Dunning will SO scot free,
although when he was first tried the
jury at Mt. Ayr found him guilty and
Judge Evans sentenced him to three
years in the penitentiary. He gave an
appeal bond and appealed the case to
the supreme courtwho granted him a new
trial on account of a technicality. The
case was then sent to Clarke county on
change of venue, and occupied week,
being given to the jury Saturday night,
and after being out until eight o'clock
Sunday morning returned a verdict of
not guilty.
We doubt if the verdict will meet
with approval in Ringgold county,
for only last week the trustees of the
defunct bank which failed owing the
depositors over half million dollars,
made their final dividend to the deposi-
tors OF per cent, making the total
amount which the dcpositors will re-
ceive 20 per cent Of their claims. Dun
ming had for many years been looked to
as one of the leading bankers of south
ern Iowa and his private bank carried
large deposits, many retired farmers,
widows and orphans having every dol
lar they possessed on deposit in his
bank. According to his own statements
after the failure he had been humping
along for the last twenty years, each
year getting farther and farther behind
until he was finally obliged to close the
doors of the bank, although deposits
were accepted up to the very time of
the failure.
The people of Ringgold county lost in
the neighborhood of 100000 by the
failure, and many of the depositors lost
the savings OF life time which they
had deposited in the bank to support
them in their old age. 1t is such
failures as these and the escape from
punishment of the men who squander
their money that arouses the people to
demand that private banks be subject
to state inspection, the same as state
and national banks. Representative
sankey of this county introduced a
simple bill in the legislature three
years ago, providing that all private
banks should be subject to the same
state inspection as state banks, and it
should have become law, but being in
troduced by member Of the minority
party it was promptly killed. If the
people of Iowa had the protection of
such law the Nit. Ayr bank would have
gone out of existence years before it
did, and many thousands of dollars
would have been saved to the people of
that county.

The Vital Spirit in the Christmas
Gift,

Some good people condemn all Christ
mas giving, because so many mak9of it
a senseless fad.
1t is true that much perhaps most
giving of Christmas gifts is far from in
keeping with the real spirit of the
sacred day or in accord with reason.
Gifts made for the sake of ostenta-
tious display of means, or for the dis
charge of some obligations, or because
something is expected in return, are
worse than vulgar at a time when en-
tirely different motives should hold
sway and entirely different feelings
find expression.
But in this there is no good ground
for general condemnation of all Christ
mas giving.
Giving has it's source in the best part
of our nature.
1t is the sweetest expression of our
best feeling.
1t can no more be restrained than can
the waters of IL spring; and human life
would be as desolate without the one
as would be the earth without the
other.
Where we love we give aud the Civ
ing is the sweetest part of loving.
Gladness and gratitude ever seek
some more tangible form OF expression
than mere words, and find it in gifts.
Christmas itself is but an observance
of the greatest and divinest gift ever
made to the world.
So there is plenty of Justification for
Christmas giving that is done in the
right spirit.
But the spirit of giving is more i'm
portant than the gift itself.
Some mere trifle OF a trinket may eN-
press remembrance and affection that
give Joy and cheer to heart through a
whole lifetime, while costly baable
may express only temporary interest
and give only momentary qualification

Father Bennett Building Churches
In California.

ln IA. recent issue of the Los Angeles.
Calf ApiA Evening Telegram appears a
potrs i Of Father" G. P. Bennett, and
also an illustration of the new church
which he was instrumental in building.
This .ge pastor was one of the early
pastors Of the Leon NJ. +. church, and
although we'll along in years, and super
anuated, he still continues doing good
work. The Telegram has the following
to say in regard to Father Bennett
and his work:
Father q. P. Bennett, a superanuat-
ed Methodist minister, living at LAUREL
wood, on the Mount Scott line,is one
preacher, who cannot be relegated to
the class depicted in the touching Song.
Just Behind the Times" because Of
grey whiskers and advanced age. His
hair is turning white, but he. takes less
notice Of it, probably, than many
Of his friends.
Rev. Bennett came to Laurelwood two
years ago and began preaching for the
people of Lents in Davis Hall. Some
thing less than a year ago his little
flock Of but a dozen or so began to talk
about having building Of their own.
Whether or not Father Bennett first
suggested it, he took hold of the work
with determination. and evidence of
resource that would put the Efforts of
many a brother on active list to rout.
A site was secured in Evelyn, the new
tract adjoining Lents on the west, and
today it contains a new church costing
about $4,000, with a hourishng congre-
cation and a new pastor is put in
charge.
But the change of ministry was not
attended by any wringing of hearts and
shedding Of tears for the "old man.
Father Bennett has taken charge of
two other struggling congregations,
farther removed from the advantages of
denser population, they being at Gilbert
schoolhouse and Gates. He says: 1T
sounds pretty strong to talk about
building church out there, but we are
going to see what we can do about it,"
