THE art OF twisting cords to make
stronger cords is very ancient.
In 4S0 B. c. we read Of Xerxes
building a bridge with heavy cables
made Of twisted smaller cables. Il
was not till the Middle Ages that rope
making became general. The first
'rope-walk" In America was located
in Boston. John Harrison was the pro.

CHAUTAUQUA NEXT SUMMER

Manager Parlee of the Ellison & White
Ch lutauoua Service succeeded in gettinG
IKE hCceSs AIRY SignerS to guarantee H.
order that Logan might have the Chau-
tauqua next summer The Republican IS
glad as far as Mr.. Parlee is concerned for
he is a very fine gentleman and is deserv-
ing of success. 1t is also glad for all par
ties concerned, but hopes that the Ellison
Il White Service will be just little high
Ell class program next season. The pro-
gram just rendered was good, there were
some high spots in it, but there was moth
ing that could not have been duplicated
in Logan. To be frank there was not a
musician that could touch Prof Spicker,
there was not vocalist in the class of
Miss Eliason, and as for the lecturers,
while some of them were high class, Prof.
Casio could back them all off the boards.
1t is true that the Chautauqua was
worth the price of admission many times
over, but that is not the point, give us a
high class program even if the admission
has to be raised little. Logan has dem
onstrated one thing and that is that she
can support Chautauqua but Logan cit
liens are intelligent and want high class
program. As far as the guarantee is con-
cerned, it is not necessary. If the Chau-
tauqua appears with forecast of good
program the tent will be filled, but it APP
pears that it is rule of the Chautauqua
ridiculous as it may seem, that their bust
ness be guaranteed. Nobody else's bust
ness is guaranteed and we see no reason
why the Chautauqua should, but the man
agement has succeeded in putting it over
and this paper has three times been asso-
ciated as a guarantor. WE'LL at any rate,
while we have had many good Chautau-
quas in the past, let us hope that we will
have better one next year. At least we
trust the Chautauqua service will listen to
our appeal for little higher class pro-
gram.

IF THEY STRIKE

The brotherhood chiefs assure the rail
road labor board that they cannot be
held responsible if the men refuse to abide
by the reductions in wages, and strike.
Nevertheless the people will place the
blame for any interruption in transpor-
tation that may occur on those men,
where it rightfully belongs. If the rail
workers strike it will be because they
have been led to believe by the labor chiefs
that any reduction in wages is unjust and
that they have a right to protest in any
way within their power. Had the broth
erhood leaders advised their men to ac-
cept a wage reduction in proportion to
the lowered cost of living there would
have been no difficulty in arriving at an
acceptable solution of the whole question,
and all danger of a strike would have
been avoided.

the sacrifice of few hundred thousand

SOME NEEDED LEGISLATION

AS time passes events demonstrate the
need of specific legislation in order that
the rights of the people may be protected.
For instance the last few weeks of the
} ~..r Ao1O demonstrate that law should
be placed on the statute book prohibiting
any officials from making contracts in
volving the expenditure of any material
amCLnt of money. Indeed after an cleo
ton has been held the time between that
date and the first of the year when the
affairs of the state, county or city are to
be turned over to successors should be
used in cleaning up, getting together odds
and ends so that the affairs of the people
may be turned over full and complete and
correct in every particular. This passing
OF contracts entered into during the ell
eventh hour involving an expenditure of
thousands and thousands of dollars
should stop, and incoming officials in the
time and season thereof should have the
responsibility Of letting such contracts at
prices then prevailing These eleventh
hour contracts are nearly always embar
asslng both to those responsible for them
and those who are charged with CARRYING
them to fulfillment, and are hardly ever
conductive to the rublr good. The Cache
county delegation in the next state legis-
lature can make q hit by seeing that such
a blll is passed.

MOTOR REGULATION

NTE WHO live in Philadelphia hear more
w from othcial sources about motor acci-
dents and see less of the well organized pre-
ventive effort than there ought to be.
Superintendent Mills has told the motor
trade organizations of a new and Compre-
hfnsive system of traffic regulation designed
bf the police department to make the streets
s1fer and more convenient for those who
drive cars and those who go afoot. The
Aperintendcnt wants new traffic lanes
" Iplleling Broad street" Such lanes are
F ed. But a prior and pressing need is
stem of street signals less reminiscent
u the suburbs and the small towns than
that which is supposed to regulate the tides
of traffic in central and crowded thorough
fares.
Other cities are adopting the system
under which all traffic over important high
ways is stopped and started by signals
flashed from central towers. Thus time is
saved on central and right angle streets
alike.
Superintendent Mills is justified in seeking
ways to deal with the reckless drivers who
take all sorts of risks because they feel will
ing to let the insurance companies foot the
bills Those drivers who prove themselves
negligent or unfit by becoming involved in
successive serious accidents should have
their licenses revoked. That method would
be surcr and more painful for the guilty
persons than the system of informal ps-
pionage which the police talk Of establishing

A FESTAL FOURTH

TIME fortunate JuXtapositiOn of Sunday
i and the Fourth of July apprcciably
heightens the rccreative aspects of the ma
tional holiday this year.
For approximately three days the Nation
will adopt festal mood admirably in keep
ing with the meaning of the birthday of
independence. Even in mere joyGusness.
free from serious reflection upon the signi6-
cance of the anniversary, there is prOpricty.
1t would, of course, be gratifying could
Americans rise to the full dignity of the
occasion and. bring to the resumption of
their ordinary tasks of life an appreciation
of the responsibilities of the Nation, of their
own personal share in its destines and of
the inspiration of the past as a guide 70
the future.
But Americans. after all. are human
beings and serious reflection is often painful
to them. If the holiday is observed gayly
and spiritedly and, above all not barbar-
ously, as sometimes in the past, it will IN
a large degree be justified.
The birth Of the Nation is worth smiles
and laughter and good times generally
though philosophy and introSpcction be re
duced to an imperccptible minimum.
Furthermore, be it remembered that the
plane of exaltation reached in the average
stilted conventional Fourth of July Grafton
of old was on the whole, specious and arti-
fetal 1t can be spared without regret.
Genuinely fine things are not done after that
fashion.
