OUR NEIGHBOR
is TOUCHY

"s
In recent issue we attempted to
chide somewhat the scant represen-
tation of Cache County people at the
Bryan meeting at Salt Lake City,
and in the course of our thoughts we
asked the question ARE the faithful
losing faith" This seems to have
uncovered a sore spot somewhere
among the staff of our local contem-
porary, and II comes back accusing
us of ''sneering at the Peerless Lead
err" and then goes on to say few
nice things about the honesty, int.
gritty, and religious views of Mr.. Bry.
an.
Well now neighbor just keep on
the pavement. There is no occasion
for stopping all over the street. Mr..
Bryan was not sneered at In the
least, and no one questioned his hon
esty. and did not say that he was
not a God fearing. law abiding citi-
en-. II was you dear neighbor. and
the like Of you, that was receiving
special attention. You remember
Saturday July "a, 1897 dearie, don't
you? If you don't just please turn
to your files and read what you had |
to say about the "Peerles Leader" on |
that occasion. Your paper was full
Of Bryan, Bryan, and for a change
a little more Bryan, on that memor-
able morning. You said some sweep
ing things too, even characterizing
him as the greatest ever, and furth-
err than that, lin all probability his
like will never be heard again.
Here are some of the things you said.
Listen. .
For logical argument adapted TO
the comprehension of his auditors
generally; for convincing plain state
ments of WELL KNOWN FACTS,
and for simple, incontrovertible IL
Illustrations for the purpose of bring
ing those facts home to the under
standing of his auditors, HIS EQUAL
HAD NEVER APPEARED AND IN
ALL PROBABILITY HIS LIKE WILL
NEVER BE HEARED AGAIN
Again, The simplicity and express
sion only to be acquired by
thorough knowledge of the language,
coupled with the simple, homelike,
everyday comparisons of Lincoln,
give William J. Bryan a power and
influence with the masses that NO
OTHER LIVING ORATOR, NOT EV'
EN- EXCEPTING MCKINLEY, has
been able to attain once more
LEAVING ALL FAVORlTlSM a
SIDE, HIS ARGUMENTS. while SO
simple as to be easily comprehended
by a child, GIVE HIS OPPONENTS
RIDDLES WHICH ARE UNSOLV-
ABLE; NUTS WHICH ARE HARD |
TO CRACK. THEY ARE AS LOG
ICAL AS SIMPLE, AND CANNOT
BE CONTRoVERTED.'
Can you conceive of stranger lang
uage neighbor? Why this great
change concerning this Peerless
man the like of which all probabil-
ty will never be heard again" This
man with his well known facts" his
"incontrovertible illustrations this
equal of the immortal Lincoln, and
attainments of Mckinley" This
man with his "unsolvable riddles"
nuts which are hard to crack" and
logic that cannot be coontroverted."
According to your own statement,
neighbor, six people from Cache
County went down to hear the man
you said such things about in 1897,

A WORD AS
TO POLICY.
4.

Now that the many little details
incident to transfer of ownership
have been gradually disposed of, we
feel that word as to our future~pol-
icy would not be out OF place here.
The function of newspaper is
primarily to publish the news. To
the average man or woman the va
rious activities of life in which their
individual effort is directed are OF
such immediate personal concern
that they have small time for COM
passing the various happenings in
the great outside world of things"
Hence, they look to the newspaper to
give them in brief, succinct, and in
telligent manner a summary of the
various events as they happen from
time TO time.
Such has been our object To
keep our readers informed upon all
happenings, both local and remote,
that may be construed as news.
But the newspaper has another
function, and that is to promote the
interests of the community in which
il circulates. To set forth its vari.
Gus advantages; to emphasize its
needs; to criticize its mistakes in a
spirit of mutual helpfulness, and to
suggest methods for further develop
ment.
With respect to this latter DUTY
for we consider it such, let us say
right here that the Logan Republi
can stands first, last, and all the
time for Cache county Not for Lo
gan City alone, but for the ENTIRE
COUNTY. We are grateful y for the
fact that our lot has been cast In
pleasant places. That we have 9
homing-place second to none. THAI
we occupy valley that is at once
the most beautiful, the most health
full, and the most resourceful wher
its advantages are fully understood
| of all valleys in the wide, wide
world. We admire the integrity Of
its men and the virtue and modesty

SCRAP ON
PENSION BILLS

i.
There Is somewhat of a scrap on
in the National House of Representa-
tives incident to some pension bills
that have been introduced, and the
consideration thereof has brought
forth another gag" rule. Represen-
tative Henry of Texas introduced the
resolution covering the rule and in
its defense said:
1T is evident that the majority de-
sires to pass these bills and that the
time of the House, which Is valuable
seems to be wasted by some of the
discussion here this Afternoon, and
that no real progress is being made.
Therefore, in the interest of orderly
procedure, it has become necessary
to report the resolution which has
been read from the Clerks desk"
The bill under consideration at this
time was for the granting pensions
and increase of pensions to depend
ent children of soldiers and sailors
of said war"
The bill was opposed by Represen
tative Roddenbery of Georgia, and
some others of the southern demo
Gratis. In the discussion the Georgia
democrat said:
II regret that the reformed edition
of the Cannon-Henry gag rule pre-
cludes me from discussing this bill
only three minutes, although 1t car
ries ITO private pension increases"
Uncle Joe Cannon then brought
forth the following rejoinder: "a
"Mr. Speaker, in the one minute /
desire to say this is a government
majorities so far as legis-
lation is concerned, and that side
being In the majority has the right
to have legislation considered and
brought to a conclusion. And I want
to say voted for this rule yester-
day, although l am in the minority.
I want to say further that If were
an evangelist ! would be glad to see
the conversion upon that side, but
looking at the gentleman from Geor-
gia, who is in small minority OF
the majority, will say the doors
are still open; while the lamp holds
out to burn, The vilest sinner may
return"
The justice of the cause was sum-
med up briefly by Representative
Foster Of Illinois, in quotation from
General Sherwood as follows
There are many surviving officers
who are so favorably situated finan.
cially that they win not avail them.
selves of the pecuniary benefits OF
the pending bill il enacted. but prac.
tically with one, accord these men
earnestly approve the measure, be.
cause of their knowledge OF the alb.
solute need of their less fortunate
comrades, including the many hun
dreds In soldiers homes.
Duty calls us to alleviate the
woes of our needy comrades stag
gering to a nearby grave. Let us do
our best to light and tighten the
road. AS the old English poet,
Wordsworth, wrote. 100 years ago;
Make old age serene and bright,
And lovely as Lapland night,
To lead them to the end"
Senator Smoot occupies a prominent
position in the makeup of the bill.

and in your columns we find no &C.
count of his address, and no mention
of him in editorial other than a few
bOquets thrown at him over our
shoulders. Neighbor, If he was all
that you said about him in 1897,
what is the matter with him now in
this good year of 1912. 1t will not do
for you to say that the 1897 articles
were written by other hands than
those on your staff at the present
time, for the same little hand that
pushed the pencil in 1897, wrote the
article referred to at the beginning of
this article. You gave him twenty
eight columns of space in 1897, and
not as many lines in 1912. He was
listened to and applauded by ten
thousand Cache Valley people In
1897, and six in 1912. How hath the
mighty fallen?"
Under the circumstances were we
not justified in asking If "the faith
full were losing faith?" Faith Is jud-
ged by work. so the Good Book
says, and while you were efferves-
cling with good works in 1897, you
are playing the role of the
sluggard in 1912, or what you said in
1897 you do not believe in 1912. It
will be interesting to have you say
on the visit of the Peer
ess Leader" as your readers fifteen |
years hence will no doubt be glad to |
check you up again.

THE BAROMETER INDICATES
CHANGE.

The election in Vermont Tuesday
can scarcely bring very much hope to
Roosevelt and his following. while TO
Taft the day is filled with darkest
gloom.
For long time Vermont has been
the political barometer in its bearing
on the presidential election. and Il It's
readings in the past can be taken as
an indication Of the future, the poIItl-
cal SKY Is very foreboding for both the
Republicans ana Progresslyes.
While true that the progressives
poiled a heavy vote, It is also irio
tbet this vote was drawn entirely from
the Republican ranks. and also trae
that there was a very large number
OF Republicans who would stand Tor
the lsms Of neither the Republicans
nor Progressiyes. and, following a safe
line Of reasoning, cast their ballots
with the Democrats.
A significant fact brought out in the
election Is that the Progressive .ol-
lowing ohiy went as far as the mead
OF the ticket The Republicans VINO
have been sgpnotized b. the glamor
and bombast Of Roosevelt could nst
come out from under The influence Of
