Show - 4 f THE PROVO POST H EDIT O R LA LS 190M FROM JFRIENDS, NOT ENEMIES D uri fig " t lie pas U few Weeka It was with sincere regret that the eo- pie of Provo learned of a possible change in the Salt Lake tahernacle choir which would take Professor A. (. . Lund from tlie Brigham Young univeiity. Professor Lund has been with the school so long and has brought his department to such a splendid standard of efficiency that those interested in the school feel that his loss will not only lie a the institution, but a loss to Provo that can- not be replaced in a hurry. We can appreciate Professor Lund s position and wre realize that lie desires to go forward, but we also realize that the church will have a se rious time finding a successor who will accomplish as much in the Brigham Young university as is being accomplished by Professor Lund. -- MORE DANGEROUS SPEEDNG I .Speeding automobiles,., have become jmenace in this city and the sons of more than one prominent family are guilty of driving ;with a recklessness that ill becomes a good fcitizen anywhere. Officers report that they - nave attempted to stop these boys and in one case the driver absolutely refused to pany any attention to the warning. Another base. of reckless driving which narrowly es caped causing a serious accident happened on West Center street, when a car, the num-be- r of . which is held in -- this office, shot 'around the Cox corner on West center so rapidly that two boys were knocked from a bicycle, while the driver came speeding toward town without even stopping to see whether or not the boys were hurt. f These of late, ly them. If cope with n cases have happened so frequent- it is time to put a definite stop to the city police force is unable to the situation it should be made known, for there is no reason, to place in jeopardy, the lives of Provo people because a few, speed fiends will insist upon trying to see how fast they can drive their cars. Another condition ' demanding the the police, is that of riding bicycles at high-spee- d along the sidewalks of the . city. Case after case has been reported to the police,' but aside from a few gentle warnings, we can learn that very little action has been taken on the "part of the police to check bicycle" speeding on the sidewalks, and much as we dislike to call the attention of the departments head .to this condition, we feel it a necessity to protect pedestrians and (especially children who might be walking or playing on the sidewalks. Greater action on the part of the police department would remedy both the auto and bicycle troubles and those caught violating the law should be punished, regardless of the prominence of the people or the political influence that might be wielded either for or against the department. The city employs its officers to enforce its laws and regulations and laxity in the matters referred to above do not by any means please or assist the great majority of the citizens. :: j i: OOO RURAL CREDITS j In recent years much has been said about loan funds for the benefit of the fanners. For such a fund there is need. In carrying On his business the farmer requires capital, just as does the merchant, the manufacturer imd the miner. - - r a ur A enn Per week , stating that a il be organized by him and bis backers should he.be defeated.. We do not jdace this above .certain' supporters o the governor, but are willing to iecepf a statement made to the Ogden Examiner, in which is said: . .1 Any statement that a third party Pty ( MEREDITH CYCLE CO. - movement would be fostered by myself or my friends in event of my defeat in the convention is absolutely false. It is but a part of the contemptible campaign of malicious mendacity and character assassination which has been di- - rected at. me .for weeks by the whisper--T g politicians, expect to brnominat- ed. I will stand squarely on the platform of the Republican party as adopted at the convention. While the governor charges these statements to his enemies, we find here in Provo friends of the governor who have been the loudest in making these assertions: At the primaries held in the Fifth ward last Thursday evening, A. F. Acord, one of the governors strongest supporters, and an declared that ajhird party was an absolute certainty should both parties declare for Btatewide prohibition. Other supporters of the governor Have made similar statements and not a few have declared that he would run on a third ticket should he be defeated in the convention to be held in Ogden on the 8th. The Salt Lake Tribune, another organ of Governor Sprys, has intimated this same thing, which goes to show that the friends of the governor and not his enemies are responsible for the statements. While this paper is very much opposed to Sprys candidacy we believe that he will stand by his statement not to head a third ticket should he be defeated, as we believe be will at the Ogden convention. st, handled.' In making - loans from a rural credit fund, what is loaned is not to be a gift, it is what is called a loan, something that must be repaid. Those who handle it will be governed by the same policy as , bankers. They will consider the capacity of the borrower to handle the funds in such a manner as to make him able to repay. In short his credit will be' looked into. ' : will in the end, this believed is It Jhat meet with such success that the farmer who needs money with which to carry on his business, will have no more trouble in securing it than the successful merchant, miner' or manufacturer. It will result in more successful farmers. It wpl stimulate those who are in business and arouse an ambition to do the very best. It will encourage ambitious young men to get into the business and to master the science of agriculture. It will add to the volume of farm products. It will inspire many more men with a determination to make the product of an acre double the present yield. This cannot le done in a day, or a year or even in a decade. But it will come and the country will see less and less of slipshod agriculture. The soil will be less abused. The soil will be treated as- it should be, as the prime source to which all mnst look for eom-fo- rt and Tor the preservation of life. OREL!
