A BAND WAGON MOVE.

Sufficient time has gone into the
past since the ELECTORAL quintette of
the moosies made its last proposition
for the public to digest and assimilate
it.
The opinion that has been reached
in regard to the proposition Of the
quintette is a just one and it u al
most universal. 1t says the propon-
ents are trying TO pave the way to
band wagon.
Surely 1t looks that way. II Roose-
welt developes enough other votes to
secure the election. they will give
him their votes. If Taft develops
enough other votes to secure the
election, they will give him their
votes.
They want to be with the winner.
There was hardly ever a proposition
more devoid of principle, more cold
blooded in its commecial character
istics.
They do not say that if Wilson de-
velops enough other votes to secure
the election, they will give him their
votes. If Wilson is elected, he will
not be passing out jobs to republicans
or imitation republicans. But with
Roosevelt they feel sure. With Taft
it might be possible.
There is no intention on the part Of
the republicans of the state to assist
in this band wagon scheme. The
man they want elected is the man who
is bound to turn down the pretensions
of this speculative group and keep
them off the public pay roll. They
have done enough damage to the state
as trusted servants"

/ One other matter while we are IN
the mood for suggestions: Why
should this band which rendered such
! splendid service during the Good
Roads Convention be left to disinte.
CRATE? II there is one thing Logan
needs more than anything else it is
first class concert band. The play.
ers so hurriedly gotten together for
the occasion last week have demon.
strated that they have sufficient tai
ent, and talent OF the right kind, to
make one OF the best bands in the
lntermountain country.
or course such an organization
needs money. II is not to be sup
posed that men will go to the ex.
pense Of buying instruments and put.
ting in long hours in preparation to
give pleasure to the other fellow and
ask nothing in return. But we are
sure the boys will not ask anything
unreasonable. They want Just enough
to assure them that their efforts are
appreciated, and to Justify them in
making the effort.
" such an organization could be
perfected and maintained intact for
a year. II is very certain that the
people. of Logan would not afterwards
give their consent to its dissolution.
With such an aggregation of players
furnishing band concerts-say every
Saturday night-every citizen would
get more than his or her proportion
of pleasure out of the investment.
When II comes to a matter of re.
creation or pleasure here in Logan
during the summer months, where
else is IL to be found? There are no
other attractions, unless II be the NOV
ing picture shows and there are many
who do not care particularly for this
form of entertainment. But choice
selections of music well rendered by
good concert band-who would not
enjoy it?
OF course there will be some knock
ers to this proposition as there are
to every good suggestion that may he
put forth. But we believe we voice
the sentiment Of the majority of the
people OF the city when We say that
a good concert band is greatly need
ed here at present. The effect of
free. open air band concerts upon the
people of a community cannot be
measured in dollars and cents. 1t
will serve to bring the people of the
city together more often and will do
much toward creating a spirit of unity
among them.
We trust the matter may have
prompt attention. Promptness is ne
cesary as otherwise the organization
as it exists at present will dissolve
and its members become scattered. A
very little effort on the part OF one
or two men of little initiative, will
secure such a blessing for the city,
And the labor is we'll worth while.

self and Mr.. w. p. Funk to Chicago
to consult with the La Blond inter-

for financing the road, was unsuccess-
full, and that the connection with Mr..
Wells was purely an accident, or IAN

put 1t. Mr.. Wells has told very nice
story, his supporters have made good
at this end OF the line, and II he will

politan aspect of the city and before
they are taken down. we hasten TO |
offer this suggestions Why take them
down at all? InasmuCh as they are
already up. and the city has been
put to no expense whatever in the
matter. why not now make an effort
10 keep them up during the balance
of the summer, at least. We are con.
fident that arrangements can easily
be made with the Telluride people to
do their share in the matter, and II
such is the case. the expense to the
city would be very small. We have
in mind a number OF small cities In
one of the adjoining states, which are
lighted in the commercial district
with festoons OF incandescents and the
effect is most pleasing to the observ
er and serves 10 give the city an ap
pearance of alertness and life that i
highly desirable.
In talking the matter over with tn
business men, many of them expires
a Willingness to pay their proportio
of the cost II suitable arrangement
can be made for perpetuating IN
lights as they are at present.
We commend the proposition to II
Commissioners and those having Il
matter in charge, and urge that a
effort be made to keep them up du
ing the summer. There are 9th
conventions coming to the city duriI
the year, and with the July holiday
Independence Day, and Pioneer Da
they would add much TO the attracti'
ness Of the occasion. Why not he
