H CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Hi Tlio discussion of Secretary Driggs of the statu
BH library commission on Sunday uvcnlng was a clear,
BBS concise statement of Logan's need for n. public II-
BH brar. Tlio riucstlon now Is shall wo wako up and
BBBj get It. Mr. Carnegie will glvo ub llio building
Hi and equipment If wo will only provide mnlntcn-
Bj nnco. It Is certainly n great opportunity.
BBBj A town library Is no moro or less than a club
Hi library for nil the citizens. Wo all need and want
BBBj , good bookB to rend, but slnglo hnnded It Is ImpoB-
BBBj slblo for families with a medium Incomo to buy
BBBJ a well selected lot of books, lly all co-operating
HH under tlio supervision of tbo city, wo enn get whnt
BBBj wo need without making It a hardship for any
HH family.
BBBj Tho cost of olio good book n year for each
HHj family, put into a common fund, would give us
HH) ' about all wo need for a good llrst class library. In
HH fact if wo would stop buying worthless subscrlp-
BBBj tlon books and turn tho money thus wasted to
HH library maintenance, It would bu sufficient.
HH Wo have closed tho saloons, but havo put no-
HH thing In their place. Will a ncgattvo policy protect
HH our boys and girls? Wu havo well grounded fears
H that It will not.
HJ To our u '' ' "-king our duty to our young
HH) pcoplo will not bu done until we have supplied
BBBJ them with good clean substitutes, both Intcllectti-
HH ally and physically, for tho places we have taken
BBBJ away. If this Is not done, wu feel sure, the old
HHJ conditions will como back one way or another.

H ABRAHAM LINCOLN
HHJ Abraham Lincoln was n great man; one of the
BH greatest of tho great men, not only of his own
HHJ country, hut of tho world. Thcro wcro two sides
HH to his nature that seemed to bo Inconsistent and
HH at wnr with each other. On tho ono side he was
HHJ patient, forbenrlng, sympathetic, and humano. On
HHJ tho other he was n man of stem resolve, uncom-
HHJ promising In his convictions nnd firm In maintain-
HHJ lug them. Ho was a man of profound sympathies
HHJ on tho ono sldu and of determination nnd decision
HHJ on the other.
BBBJ Each of tliese sides of his nature and its cliar-
flflj actcrlstlcs was a check and balnncco on tho other.
HHi Ills decisions, however strongly nnd unswervingly
HHj ho maintained them, wcro tempered with Justice.
HHj and mercy. On the other hand, tho sympathetic
HHJ side of his nature that often resulted In nets of
HHJ mercy was . nnd ovorlndul-
HHj gencc of that disposition by his high senso of right
HHi and Justice. He tempered Justice with mercy and
M ' mercy with n right sense or Justice, drover Clove-
HHJ land in speaking of the objections of the military
HH autlinrlt'es tn h wi.uatho lc attitude toward In-
HHi dlvldunls delinquents nnd his frequent pardons,
HHJ had this to say of him: 'Notwithstanding all that
HHJ might bo objectlonnblo In these, what was ho do-
HH lug? He was fortifying his own heart. And that
HHJ was his strength, his own heart; that is u man's
HHJ strength." In tho great trials that ho passed
HHJ through when thousands of his countrymen were
BBBJ being slain In a fratricidal war, his heart, that was
HHi as tender as the heart of woman, was wrung wltti
HHJ anguish that brought him much sorrow. Hut
HHJ through it all lie never faltered In tho performance
HHj ' of his duties He insisted upon the vigorous
BflflJ prosecution of the war, however much It grieved
BflflJ him to witness all tho suffering, sorrow, and sac-
HHJ rlllro of human lives it entailed. Nothing could
HHJ move him from his fixed determination to save the
HHJ Union, no matter how much It might cost In lifo "
HHi and treasure Ills warm suimt!les, lils humano
HH disposition, Ins ever active human alTeotlou and
HHb heartfelt dealt o to avoid and emullornto human suf-
HHb ' ferlng did not swerve him from this lofty and pa-
H ' trlotlc purpose On the ono side his life was pa-
HHi ' thetlc, on the o'her It was subllmo. Ills tender
HHJ sympathies, his kindliness of heart, his great nnd
H ' abounding love for his fellowmen, his rugged lion-
H eKt' ,1,B nustre and uncompromising principles of
f right and Justice, his Inflexible determination, his
H , undying patience under unjust criticism by his
HB friends and foes alike, mado up u combination of
H t great and honorable qualities that mado him ono
HHJ of tho greatest men of all history. Tho moro ton-
HHJ dcr and sympathetic- characteristics of the man
BBBl brought him tho tender and hiBtlng affection of tho
B J American pcoplo.' His lofty patriotism, his rugged
H ' honesty, and his consecration to duty created for
H i him In tho minds of his countrymen tho most pro-
HHJ found trust, respect and admiration. His career

UTAH'S NEWSPAPERS
Tbo men who publish tho rural newspapers
throughout Utah aro doing tho stnto an excellent
service. Above and beyond furnishing their read
ers In the various communities tho Intlmato Items
of uelghbornood news and information for which
tho dallies of tho cities havo no spaco tbo local
paper Is boosting, nlways boosting, for Its homo
community. Every enterprise that promises to add
to tho comfort, convenience or pro3perlty of the
people never pleads In vain with the local, editor
for assistance; Iho columns of his newspaper arc
open to ovory worthy cause. Whatever assistance
tho pcoplo may rightfully glvo him should not he
withheld, for It nlways returns to them In many
fold.
Handing themselves together In a press asso
ciation for mutual aid and Improvement these pub
lishers are asking tho legislature to enact certain
rules for legnl advertising. Under tho statute no
tice must bo given of certain actions nt law 1)J
publication in tho nowspapers; In tho past these
have often been printed In papers that have-no In
terest In thu community In which they nro alleged
to he published, have no circulation nnd nro con
sequently valueless, and nro not oven printed in
tlio county In which they are supposed to bu cir
culated. Tho owners of tho bona llde nowspapers he
llevo thlH practice to bo unjust to them, unjust K
tho people, nnd nu actual violation of nt least the
spirit of the existing law. For that reason they
nro asking that tho legislature at this session en
act a statute that will rcqulro legal notices In n
given county to ho published in a newspaper that
Is actually printed and published in that county'.
Wo bellevo they nro right In principle and we are
certain that they doservo such proper assistance
as mny be given.
Tho newspaper, whether dally- or weekly, that
has so llttlo community pride or interest In the ad
vancement of community Industries ns to take
elsewhere whatever prollt thcro may ho in audi
publication, does not merit support. And tho pub
lication thnt is of such meager Importance that it
can transplant its mobile business to somo other
town to bo printed, scarcely gives valuo received
for whatever it gets for publishing legal notices.
Tho proposed measure Is but Just and It ought
to pass. Herald-Itepubllcau.

A MENACE TO THE WEST
It Bcems probable that an effort will be made
to abolish tho electoral college and elect n presi
dent by popular voto as a corollary to thu consti
tutional amendment restricting each Incumbent to
a single term of six years. That amendment has
passed tho senntc and, as It now reads, It makes
its provisions applicable to thoso who have held
tho olllco; tills naturally Includes Thcodoro Hoobu
volt tho saints be praised William Howard Taft
unfortunately nnd will also Include Ur. Wilson,
There nro Indications that the further change no
ted above will bo suggested In thu House and that
an effort will be made to provide that tho Presi
dent shall assume olllco within thirty or sixty days
after his election.
Tho West must resist of course, with all Its
power, the effort 'o abolish the electoral system
nnd choose by populnr voto. Tho great voting
population or thu United States lies east of the
.Mississippi rlver.nnd If thu system were changed,
future executives would bo chosen wholly by a few
of tho most populous states. The smaller com
monwealths of tho west would bo powerless; their
volco in tho counsels of tho nation would be
stilled.
Tho danger, of course. Is not Imminent since
a constitutional amendment requires the approval
of thirty-six states, nnd that would not be possible
if tho west stood linn against it; it must also pass
tho senate, in which tho smallest commonwealth '
has as much power as tho largest. Hut the mere
fnct that tho suggestion Is seriously made should
furnish food for thought on tho part of the direct
government devotees In the west; If they wcro"
given whnt they wanted, they would havo no voire
whatever In government. HernhMIepubllcan.

WOULD INCREASE PRICES
Any reduction of living cost must come i blelly
through n reduction of meat cost. Present high
prices of meat food -nro tho result of diminished
supply. Not enough ment animals aro grown on
American fnrms. Will moro ho grown when tho
Tariff Ib reduced or removed? Will moro sheep or
less sheep be available for wool and for mutton
food, If the prices which tho farmers receive for
their wool and mutton nro lowered by tariff reduc
tion? Thero can bo hut ono answer less. Then,
when American cattle and sheep raisers have been
driven out of business, will beef nnd mutton ho
any cheaper than now? They will bo dearer, of
course Such Is tho plain workout of tho plan of
reducing tho tariff to reduco tho cost of living us
regards meat food. American Economist.

- MOUNTAIN STATES
TELEPHONE ELECTS
MORE OFFICERS
Two Additional Vice Presidents
Created
Denver, Colo., Feb. 11. The anutl
til meeting of The Mountain States
Telephone nnd Telegraph company
wbb held at tho offices of tho com
pany this afternoon. President Field
prcsenteil his annual report covering
tho operations of tbo Mountain
States system and the following di
rectors were elected for tho ensuing
year:
n. II. Field, Edward II. Field, Jr.,
Phillip Hamlin, Crawford Hill, E. S.
Knsslcr and L. C. Phlpps Jr., of
Denver, A. V. Hunter of Lendvllle,
W. L. Graham of Pueblo, W. S.
McCornlck of Salt Lnko City, and
Thco. N. Vnl and U. N. Hethcll of
Now York.
Nothing other than routlno busi
ness was transacted at tho stock
holders' meeting. In presenting tho
annual report President Field called
particular attention to the fnct tftnt
the llgures given embraced the tran
sactions of tho entire system, noting
thnt In tho past, figures given em
bodying tho transactions of tho com
Ipnny ns a whole, had been misquoted
ns covering tho business dono only
In ono city or one state, whereas
they should have been clearly shown
to cover operations in five states.
Tho report is given in full tn anoth
er column.
Immediately following the stock
holders meeting tho newly elected
directors met and chose the follow
ing officers:
E. H. Field, president; Edward 11.
Field Jr., first vice president und
treasurer; E. M. Burgess, vice pres
ident nnd general manager; Philip
Hamlin, vice president; J. E. Mac
Donald, secretary; Roderick Held,
general auditor.
This practically constitutes n re
election of tho former officers, with
tho excoption of the two vice presi
dents created this year. Mr. E. M.
Hurgess, formerly general manager,
continues that title, and Is mado vice
president In charge of operation. Mr.
' Philip Hamlin, assistant to the pres
ident is elected a director and mndo
vlco president In .chnrge of public
relations.
Uoth Messrs Hurgess and Hamlin
hnvo long been Identified with tho
the telephone Industry of the west.
Mr. Durgess came to Colorado from
New York In 1881 and Immediately
entered tho servlco of Tho Colorado
Telephono Company, serving respec
tively ns mnnngcr at Central City,
chief Inspector, Denver, general sup
erintendent and general manager,
and on the formation of tho Moun
tain States company was elected
general manager of that corporation.
Mr. Hamlin Is a moro recent nr
rival, coming to Colorado from one
of tho eastern telephono companies
In 1900, nnd having been Identified
since that time with President Field
as special ngeut nnd later as assist
ant to tho president.
Tho growth of tho compnny Is re
sponsible for the enlargement of tho
authority of both these gentlemen In
tho action taken today.
