BACK TO NATURE.

More than hundred years ago be-
fore the French revolution and In the
midst of the most artificial age the
world has seen, Rousseau raised the
cry that men were becoming too civil
lied, that the only healthy man moi.
ally and physically, was the unsophis-
ticated savage, and that in order to
stop our deterioration we must return
as far as possible to state OF nature.
1t was brilliant paradox but like all
paradoxes, false In the main though
true In many particulars. 1t was es-
pecially true as regards life In the
open air and simplicity Of dress In
both respects we are still trying today
more than ever to get back TO nature.
The modern house has TO have its
sleeping porches that its inhabitants
may sleep ont Of doors. Sleep in the
open air is one OF the main factors IN
the cure OF tuberculosis. All that
sanitariums have 10 offer their pa
tents is an opportunity to live out Of
doors day and night, to be we'll nour-
ished and TO secure Unlimited rest.
Anybody who has in him the healthy
elements OF the primeval man delights
10 the sound slumber that comes 10
him 10 the open air. No one knows
all the JOY Of living who has not been
Weakened out OF doors by the sun.
Then take the matter OF dress. High
heels and the corset are still dear to
the heart OF woman, but short sleeves,
walking skirts, and shirt waists make
hsr less OF prisoner than she used to
be and give some OF her limbs at least
Unrestricted freedom. College men
and women have gone hatless about
the campus and town for many years
and the custom has spread especially
among women. Heaven meant the hair
TO be sufficient covering for the head

serve the hair, strengthens the skull

PLANT PESTS.

The CIVIC Improvement League
finds plenty Of work to be done. Not
only Is IL TO supply the streets with
refuse receptacles but 1t has been
asked to start a movement for the ex.
termination of burdocks, dandelions,
plantains and other plant pests and
the cleaning up OF backyards. The
News published recently remedy for
dandelions which has been tried by
nearly all experiment stations. This
is to spray the plants with \ solution
of iron sulphate 1.-TWO pounds to the
gallon). Although this does not harm
the grass, 1t Is not etficacious enough
to destroy the dandellon roots and
they bob up as serenely the following
year as though they had never been
sprayed. A much better method is to
let fall two or three drops Of gasolene
from an oil can on each plant. This Is
too slow for large fields but Is all right
for small lawns and is more effective
than the iron sulphate. The same
treatment is also useful with plant.

be cut down and burned and salt water

entertainment Of the crowds that will
gather next week at the annual outing
OF the United Commercial Travellers
and many have begun to wonder
whether Logan cannot secure repeti.
tion OF this celebration for Cache val
ley next year. 1t Is now three years
since the Commercia Travellers met
in our city. At that time they were
much pleased with their reception,
and we are now in a position to do IS
much and more than we did then.
We have two excellent college bands
and good city band; we have one Of
the largest auditoriums In the state:
we have two artists, Professor Wright
and Professor Fletcher, either OF
whom is as capable as anyone IN Salt
Lake of getting up artistic floats and
arranging a mammoth parade; and
also we have an energetic and pushing
Commercial club, understanding per.
fectly how to organize and carry out
such a celebration. Our only weak
ness is In the line of hotels but, three
years ago, through the hospitality OF
private citizens we were able to care
for all our visitors and we certainly
could do as much again. We have
now more eating places than then and
there is prospect OF another first.class
restaurant in the near future. 1t only
remains for US to get the Commercial
Travellers to come here next year and
little push on the part Of the Com
mercial club and Of Logan visitors to
Salt Lake next week could easily Sc
cure us the desired convention. An
influential commercial man was re.
Gently heard to remark that a large
number Of the Commercial Travellers
would like to come again to Logan,
that they are pleased with the city,
that they have been well received
here 10 the past and that they would
prefer to come here rather than 10
south OF Salt Lake. The state con.
veption OF dentists al Ogden last week
decided TO meet in Logan next June.
1t Is practically settled that the State
Teachers association will convene
with us next January, and II we can
entertain over Thousand teachers
then we can certainly do as much for
the commercial men later. We have
all the advantages that make for a
good convention city and " all those
who 90 TO Salt Lake next week will
talk loud and often OF the beauties
and advantages OF Logan we have
every reason to suppose that we may
secure for our own city one OF the most
desirable of the conventions that meet
In the state.

OUR POLICY.

We have received several enquiries
with regard 10 the future policy Of
THE LOGAN REPUBLICAN. Many fear
that with the departure of Mr.. Moore
the literary tone of the paper and the
strength OF the editorials will decline
and that it may become narrowly &C.
clesiastical in its sympathies. 1t is
already more than month that the
new management has been in control
and people are now In a condition to
judge for themselves Not only has
our subscription list increased lately
but we have received many compli.
ments on the excellence of our work
and have had no complaints from any
church for lack Of fairness Of treat.

The political policy of the paperwill
be emphatically republican,. We have

Roose welt ana shall continue to ap.
plaud them whether represented by
him or by his probable successor, Taft.
We hope thus to dispel any lingering
doubts with regard to our devotion to
the republican party In the minds of
those who think they have not been
served with strong enough repu blican
doctrine 10 the past. We shall be the
defenders OF all persons belonging to
the republican party and the special
champions Of the representatives OF
the various precincts and the chair
men OF the county committees, pre-
ferring these legally elected men to
any special ring or clique that may
arise within the party and wish 10
run II regardless Of the rights OF others
or the wishes of their constituents
At the same time we reserve the right
to critcise for malfeasance oiiiceholders
OF no matter what party, In order that
the best available men may be selected |
for Office. Our editorials, while up.
holding republican doctrine, will thus
give comments on national and local
politics, on the events of the day, and |
the interests Of the city and farm.
We shall stand for the schools and COL
leges OF the valley, for the home in
dustries, for the social and religious
life OF the people Of Logan and vicin-
ity. We shall continue our regular
correspondents in the various towns
about The intermountaln region and
thus keep in touch with what Is going
on among our neighbors.
Such being our purpose we trust
that The REPUBLICAN Will commend
itself to all by the amount OF its news
and the excellence OF its work, so that
the subscription list will double and
every man want TO have his own copy
