The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1911-09-28

in accordance with our usual custom in selecting only the
best fiction for the deectaton Of patrons and
readers after reading over various stories have decided to
offer you the greatest political novel Of the age where
do things the mad swirl Of politics. this story gives you
insight into political warfare and it is full Of intrigue love
and eccentric manhood.

Of laws passed by the legislature, it
logically follows that it is a correct
principle to adopt with reference to the
constitution and the legislature would
certainly reach the height Of incon-
sistency should they place this law up
on the statute books without making it
applicable through constitutional ways
to the constitution itself. There is
nothing so sacred about written con
stitution that the people who have to
live under it should not be entitled !;
amend it without unreasonable expense
and delay and cumbersome methods,
tending to befog rather than to en-
tighten the voter. The World trusts
that the legislature, if it adopts the
initiative and referendum to statutory
matters, will also provide for its appli-
cation to the constitution. IT the pee-
pie can be trusted to make a law to
govern themselves, why should they
not be trusted with the making of Il
constitution for the same purpose!

THE WOMEN AS BOOSTERS.

To successfully carry out the plans
outlined by the Commercial Club for
the ensuing year will require the co
operation of every man, woman and
child in Devils Lake The parts to be
played hy the men of the city have been
practically all assigned by the Presi-
dent and Board of Directors, who have
laid careful plans and prepared clever
schemes for the Improvement and ad-
vertising of Devils Lake, but the work
that can be done by the women and
children is equally as strenuous.
\ plan that has been adopted by the
Women s Clubs Of some of the eastern
states, where the publicity movement
is not an experiment but scientlnc
campaign, is .ne gathering torether of
data regarding the founding of the
town, early legends connected with its
history, facts concerning it's pioneers
and interesting stories of the first set
tiers. These stories worked into read
dUle ledLul6S nave Deen USED extensive
ly by the papers in the larger towns,
compiled into phamplet form and dis
tributed and form a basis upon which
the publicity committees can work.
This could be tried with equal success
in Devils Lake, which is one of the old.
est towns in the state and has connect
cd with it's pioneer days interesting
stories galore.
To the children is usually allotted the
task of "The City Beautiful Annual
cleanup days are inaugurated when the
city parks and school house grounds
are cleareu Of refuse and new trees
planted or old ones cultivated.
The proper boosting of Devils Lake
will take all of the energy of its citi-
zens, old and young, and it is to be
hoped that the women will display
their Willingness to assist as readily
as have the male population of the
city.

ton of the public may become aware Of
the exact wording of the bills which
are bcfore the legislature and in which
they are vitality interested. The dis.
tribution of the bills is one method of
giving the proceedings of the legisla-
ture, acts done and legislation contem.

and Tor the benefit of the greatest num-

The governor calls attention in the
next paragraph to the extravaganza Of
the legislature in the matter of hiring
clerks and employees, matter which
has become scandal to the state.

believe it should be done, but not by
reducing the amountof publicity to be

The World fails 10 see the necessity
for the ridicule which the Gunderson
resolution has received at the hands of
some of the democratic papers of the
state. The money paid by the hunters
of the state for hunting licenses is as
much a part of the state funds as is the
money collected through the regular
process Of taxation. So much has been
said and printed regarding the expendi-
ture Of this fund that it would appear
as if the officials would welcome al
investigation. The World does not
know what has been done with the mon
ev but we do know that there were den
uty game wardens paid $50 and 800
per month in the ,vestern part Of the
state who did not do half as much to-
wards the protection of the game as
did the farmer who paid his money for
a hunting license and then spent half
his time warning the city chaps who
wanted to shoot on his farm after the
season had closed.

HARMFUL ECONOMY.

The Capital believes the governor
was in error in his assumption that
distribution of bills and journals of
the legislature to the newspapers of the
state is a wrongful and wasteful ex.
penditure of the public funds. In pro.
portion to the total expenditures of the
legislature the matter is of small mat.
ter, but as regards the dissemination
of information and keeping the people
of the state Informed regarding the pro
ceedings of the assembly it is a mat
ter Of much Importance. Tt is the only
form in which some considerable por

The rapid growth of the Boy Scout
movement in Devils Lake cannot fail to
appeal to every true American citizen
and the new organizations should re-
ceive the hearty support Of the resi-
dents of this city. In an effort to in
culcate into the youth the attributes
Of loyalty, obedience and chivalry the
movement means much to the future of
this country. It was originally started
in England, where its founder, Col.
Powell, expressed the belief that the
boys of that country were losing sig
of what true citizenship stood for.
Though English in origin it is distinct
lively American in its workings and its
wide adoption throughout the country
insures its success.

SOME ASTOUNDING FIGURES

Accustomed as the American people
are to the use. of large figures, The
World was fairly stunned this week
when a resident of Devils Lake pre-
sented us with clipping from a New
York newspaper giving the figures on
t H1 annual sssssfnssnt ofrqathag,, prtr-
The total valuation of the city of
New York was SO 100000, ooo-nine bill
lion and five hundred million dollars.
These figures are equal to the wealth or
valuation of Arizona, Arkansas, Cali
fornia, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Missou-
ri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, South Dakota. North Dakota.
Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington and
Wyoming.
An enumeration of some of the indi.
vidual assessments it is no less astound-
ing. The Pennsylvania depot is assess
ed at $40 ,500,000. The New York Life
Insurance building is valued at a mere
$l2,000,O00 as is the Equitable and Mu-
tual Life Insurance building. The I'm
perial hotel is considered worth So 1000,
600, the Belmont hotel $4,17j,OOO and
the Knickerbocker $3,65O,00O. A few
Of the business blocks are assessed as
follows: Macy's store $6,sO0,OOO, Tiff.
fany's $3,45o,00O and Altman IS $7,1O5,-
900. The 1910 figures it is claimed by
the exchange shows an increase of
$s49,oo0,000 over the valuation Of the
year before. Another astounding fea.
ture that the statistics reveal is the
fact that the actual tax levied is but
30 cents On each $1,000 assessed valr..
alton. We hate to admit it, but after
looking over the valuation as assessed
in Gotham we find that we didn It know
there was that much money in The
World.

CORN DAY.

There is considerable agitation
around the state for the observance of
National Corn Day in this state on
Feb. Srd, the date fixed by the other
states. The time has come when it has
been pdoven that North Dakota can
raise corn and this branch of agricul-
ture is gaining in prominence each
year.
The jamestown Capital suggests the
following menu for that day:
Corn Soup, Illinois Style
Corn Fritters with Corn Syrup.
Corn Pone, Southern Fashion
Escalloped Corn, a Ia North Dakota
Parched Corn Corned Beef
Corn Bread
Corn Starch Pudding, Bourbon Sauce
Parched Corn "Coffee''
Corn Cob Pipes.

A Firemen's Benefit,

On Monday, Jan. 23rd, The Merry
Musicians, one Of the we'll known Wal

good vaudeville and pleasing comedy.
Both the cause and the attraction merit
splendid patronage from the theatre
goers Of this city.

The newspaper boys all over the
state deeply regret the removal of
Brother Carlson of Bottineau from the

Carlson will land astr1dc some other tri
pod in the near future.

Pres. Horton is to be congratulated

welfare of the city enables the citizens

shortest possible time. y.

strike the human head or face. If,
therefore, a large bird IS in the habit
Of making sudden turns TO right or
left in its fight it must be fitted with
a "wishbone'' capable of withstanding
the great strain of the wing stroke on
the one side when unaccompanied by
action on the other.
For this reason we find in the eagle
and birds Of fits class that turn quickly
a furcula that is a perfect Roman
arch, widely at variance with the
Gothic arch, which is the shape Of the
"wishbonen of our common fowls. The
eagles furcula is everywhere equally
strong and lacks those points of weak
ness that make our sport Of breaking
the "wishbonep possible. = Harper's
