Now the road has been put higher up on the hillside and autos make the trip very easily in about four hours.

The general ' criticism is that they fail to prepare our boys and girls to meet, in a practical and efficient way, the problems of life. This sentimept is being voiced in the constant demands of for a mote More and practical education. more education comes .to mean the power to meet problems in business, society, or where not in an. effective manner. The incessant question is, What can you dot , tThis is an age of specialization, and to meet its demands the hoy must early find himself, and while still in the high school prepare for effective work; To do this he must have opportunity for a wide choice.

Nichols ami the other defendants apparently not being satisfied in the trial of that case, filed an affidavit for change of venue in the liquor nuisance case 'which was to have come on for trial this allays morning. In the affidavit for change of venue, the defendants allege that Judge Jones is biased and prejudiced, and they also allege in the affidavit that nearly evry other justice of the peace in Utah county, and in each of the cities of Utah county, are also biased and prejudiced, andjthat they cannot have a fair arnT impartial trial before any of these justices. The defendants attorney insists that Justice Jones has no right to transfer the case to any justice of the peace which they claim is biased and prejudiced. Judge Jones, however, transferred the ease to Don 0. Johnson! justice of the peace at Springville, for trial. ILthe defendants contention In regard to the law is correct, then all the defendant has to do to avoid a trial, is to make an affidavit that every justice of the peace in the county, and in eaeb city of thest county, is biased ajid prejudiced-againliinf and there can be no trial of any case.- - It looks like it was a life and death struggle between the illicit whiskey sellers and the law, as the officers Seem to he determined to enforce the law as long as it remains on the statute books, and the defendants seem, to be determined to defy the law. This matter W'ill be' watched with much interest by the people, and we predict in theend that the illicit whiskey deal ers. w ill find that the law is one that ean. and will be enforced, and that those who defy it will ultimately be brought to justice William Jennings , Bryan, the peerless leader of the Democratic party, came to Provo yesterday on the D. &. Ii. (L and arrived in this city shortly before noon. He was met at the depot by many prominent Democrats from all patts of the state, the Epperson band and about three hundred citizens of Provo and thetowns. As he left the train, there were"cheers from he tourists and the people at the sta tion, while the band struck up the lively air, Everybodys Doing It.

An explosion followed and the men were blown several feet from the spot. Gosser and Peery were badly bruised and cut about the bead and face, while Cloward suffered from a broken arm and leg. also other bruises and outs. The men were taken to Santaquin arid give nmedical attention as quickly as possible, and all will recover their injuries. There seems to be a merry mix-u- p in the case of the State' of Utah against Theodore Nichols et. al., charged with selling intoxicating' liquors without a license and also maintaining a liquor nuisance., About twoweeks ago;Jhe case against Nichols . and others- for selling intoxicating liquors without a license, was set for trial. The ease against the same parties for maintaining a liquor nuisance was also set for trial at the same time. When the first case cam on for trial, Mr. Nichols demanded-a separate trial, and the case was tried to a jury and the jury acquitted him. The other two defendants were tried on the same charge by another jury and both were convicted. Judge Jones sentenced the qthcr. two defendants, Ib'ii! y Vmicntaml.
