For many reasons it seems desira bic

For many reasons 1t seems desira bic
that the weekly concert by the Logan
Military Band be given on Wednesday
or Thursday evening rather than
Saturday afternoon. Ii is exceedingly
inconvenient for several of the men,
bers of the band TO play Saturday
afternoon, and there is no evidence
that the band serves TO draw any
trade from the country, as some bust
ness men hoped for. When given dur
ing the afternoon, clerks are attracted
from close attention to their work,
many trading people are attracted
from the stores, and the people whose
assistance helps keep up the band
have little opportunity to enjoy its
music. THE REPUBLICAN can see no
reasonable objection to giving the
concert in the middle OF the week and

the RIGHTEOUS JOURNAL.

In the year of our Lord 1896, when
the glorious Democratic party was in
power the Logan Nation bid less than
s cents for the pub. cation of each de-
scription of the delinquent tax list.
The Logan journal, the self-right-
eous, all perfect, undying friend of the
public's interests, bid % cents de-
scription for the publication of that
same deliquent list.
VIII got it? The Logan Journal,
of course.
WOULDN'T THAT JAR YOu!
How could this wondrous friend Of
the public accept the work at that
price when a much lower bid had been
submitted?
How could the great aud glorious
Democratic party, the only friend of
the people past, present and future,
award said publication to the Journal
at p cents in the face of another bid
of cents?
Councilman Evans expressed awful
contempt for the republican majority
that awarded the city printing to the
Logan Republican when it's bid was
slightly higher than the Journals?
The Republican now proposes to
arrange a big public meeting that
Mr.. Evans may have the opportunity
OF expressing his terrible contempt
for his Democratic friends.

In its own estimation, but as others
see 1t in the light of facts and expert

PUBLIC MEETINGS.

A report OF the Wellsville Fourth of
July celebration as found in the Des-
eret News cites the fact that the pro-
gram In the tabernacle was "over-
lengthy" From the. published pro.
grams of the various celebrations
throughout this valley, it is judged
that ALL were over-lengthy, with the
single exception OF Logan. In this
city, despite the fact that in having
one OF the real orators of the west there
was good excuse for prolonging the
meeting. the time was cut to exactly
one hour and fifteen minutes. The
Logan public has been unanimous in
expressions Of pleasure over the pro-
gram itself, and the disposition to cut
1t short has been the source of special
ly favororable comment.
The REPUBLICAN again urges those
who are concerned in getting up pro-
grams and those who are placed on
programs to remember that the effect
OF any effort is lost, Is worse Than
wasted, when a meeting is prolonged
until the people become tired and
restless, After the body is weary the
mind refuses to absorb, and loses
much that has already been taken In.
1t is safe to say that not one public
meeting out Of fifty can be held longer
than one and one-half hours to any ad-
vantage.
These suggestions and observations
are not made in the spirit Of criticism
but rather that those who would &C
complish desired results may be led to
consider that which they have OBJ
viously overlooked heretofore.

IRRELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS.

Some claim that President Kerr
has been extrayagant in his admin.
istration Of college affairs, others hold
that there is unnecessary duplication
Of studies, still Others claim that
several courses are taught that do not
rightfully belong to the college, and
there are those who contend that the
agricultural department at the college
is subordinated to all the rest. With.
out going into the merits OF these con-
tentions and granting for the sake of
argument that they are correct, Is
there in these facts anything to war
rant the removal Of the Agricultural
College TO Salt Lake city? Would not
such faults as are enumerated be only
such faults as any board of trustees
could and should correct? What have
these contentious to do with consolida-
ton? None at all, and they must
necessarily be thrown out of consider.
tion OF the question as wholly irrele-
want. The only question to be con-
sidered is, would consolidation result
10 greater agricultural service at less
cost? THE REPUBLICAN holds that
the facts in the case show that con-
solidation would result disastrously
for agricultural interests, and that in
less than ten years the people of this
state would regret beyond measure
any consolidation Of the two institu-
tions. All that is asked Of the public
Is that careful, conservative consid.
Grafton be given and that a settled
conviction be deferred until oppor.

the contract to the Journal. { The re-
result was not unanticipated by The
REPUBLICAN.
As to the indignation of Mr..
Jacques at the suggestion that the
boards yearly report should be pub
lished in both papers, 1t may be
observed that indignation on this
distinguished BARRIERS part is not
necessarily a certificate of the righte-
business of the cause he represents.
Mr.. Jacques has the habit of getting
indignant about every time he speaks
before the public and in most argu-
ments he has privately. His indigna-
nation in this instance certainly does
not prove his strength. The editor
of this paper holds, has ever held, and
we believe the great majority will
hold with us, and will hold for some
time to come, the opinion that the
WHOLE people are interested in the
actions and reports OF its servants,
councils, boards of education, COM
missioners, etc. When publication of
public matters is made in but ole
party paper, comparatively few of the
members of the other party come in
contact with that pu blicalion, yet are
as much interested and are as much
entitled to have the matter brought
to their attention. The REPUBLICAN
does not argue that in this instance
the report should appear in both
papers, for as is stated, the law is
satisfied If the report appears in one
paper, but the editor Of this paper
does hold that such law does not
answer the purpose, and we propose
when we go to the Utah legislature TO
secure the passage OF a law requiring
the publication Of all legal notices Of
individuals, cities, counties and
corporations in the leading publica-
tion of each of the two leading parties,
legitimate maximum rate being set
for such publication. The REPUBLI-
CAN also holds that there Is much
matter published now as required by
law that could be cut to advantage,
and there are ether matters not pub
lished now that should be given
widest circulation.
The editor Of this paper would sug-
gest to the journal that it is not 60
ing to be 1000 years before we 20 to
the Utah legislature and that we
would esteem it a particular favor If
the democratic party would enable
some member Of "the only" staff to
make the race against US.

SCHOOL BOARDS ACTION.

Inasmuch as there are three demo-
Gratis and but two republicans on the
Board of Education, THE REPUBLI-
CAN at no time had any real hope of
securing the advertising which that
board has to let. When bids were
called for THE REPUBLICAN bid its
regular rate, as in the council matter.
The Journal, which says it really does
not ~ want the advertising, but
does ~ want to demonstrate certain
wondrous things about the attitude
OF republicanism toward the public,
bid way down low, and the democratic
majority not caring to enter into the
real merits Of the situation, awarded

the tri-weekly was undoubtedly in
terested In the public's welfare.
Even since we knew 1t, the old blund-
erbuss has been prating about It's love
Tor the public, it's care for the public's
interest. How Is IL then, that a few
years ago the Journal charged four
times the price for public printing
That 1t is now willing to do 1t for?
Possibly the puolic's welfare de.
manded that the Journal charge a
higher price a few years ago. The
TACT is that for years the democratic
organ fed at the public crib, and
charged the price it cared to charge.
III got used to having things come its
way exclusively. Through politica,
misfortune, the Journal lost it's
place at the crib, and it can now
hardly stand the pressure. Its at

dual firms OF this city-tirms that do
practically as much business with this
paper as does the city-the charge is
less per line
End. Our bid was not only legti-
innate, but reasonable, business like,
despite the Democratic organs insis-
tence otherwise. Proof of this is con-
tanned in figures presented in the
council committees report showing
the prices charged for the same class
OF work in seven cities and towns in
this state. THE REPUBLICANS
charge lis less than in either town or
CITY,
3rd. The Journals bid, as compar-
ed with prices that paper charged I'M
der democratic administration, and
even since under republican admins
tration, was ABNORMALLY low
proof that the Journal was then a
CRATER, or in making It's present bid
had some very Interior motive in view.
4th. All aggressive newspapers
work for the city, county and people
generally in countless ways where
they get no direct return and but a
small indirect return for that service.
In the matter OF the public printing
the city has opportunity to step into
the breach and by awarding contracts
at fair prices return in a measure
the service rendered.
5th. The Journal itself says editori-
ally: "We believe in city and county
affairs the paper representing the
party in power should have the ad-
vertising, so long as it is done at a
reasonable rate THE REPUBLICAN
cites the fact that compared with
prices charged in other cities, our price
is reasonable; compared with prices
charged business firms of this city our
price is reasonable: compared with
prices heretofore charged the city and
county by the Journal, our price is
MORE than reasonable.
Taking these manv facts into con-
sideration, we believe that every un-
prejudiced citizen in this city will con-
cede that the Republican majority
proceeded along business lines and
awarded the printing as it should have
been awarded. The decision was
certainly in thorough accord with the
Journals editorial expression. The
committee's report to the city council
showed that it had canvassed the sit
uation thoroughly, had punctured the
democratic organs by-play for politi-
cal advantage, saw fit to ignore 1t, and
made recommendation that were so
obviously proper that they were ac-
cepted without comment except on
the part Of the democratic minority
which felt called upon to show certain
assenine qualities in behalf OF their
pet.
