Show yj LOGAN LETTER. Editor Truth: It seems as though no community can exls upon this mundano sphoro without its quota of whiners, knockers, knock-ers, grumblers, faultfinders and pro-varicators. pro-varicators. Wo som to havo our full share rof them. The board of trustees of tho Agricultural Agricul-tural college m t tho other day according accord-ing to a 'polntment, throb of tho old l onrct ana three now members'. Tho 1 1 resident is a'b, eiif, in Europe, and is not expected homo until sometime in June. Tho now moinhers having no practical knowledge of the business in hand, preferred to wait until tho president returns and henco refused to organize for business. This gavo rise to a Kreat amount of whining, knocking, grumbling, fault finding and lying, tho press taking tho lead. All sort3 of talk and rumors of wnr were put in circulation. We hoard that there is a scheme to oust President Kerr from his position, so that tho college might bo moved to Salt Lake, and mado a part of the Republican state machine, nnd that tho scheme It. aided by a sprinkling of very prom! 'nent Democrats; that the plan vn3 concocted by tho university people, backed up by Senator Smoot, Governor Gov-ernor Cutlur nnd tho church. This and a whole lot of similar rot was buzzing in our ears, and given us to read Into and early for several days and now whnt in there to it? Absolutely nothing. noth-ing. True, there has been some friction fric-tion In tho faculty, but what has that to do with political machines, with Smool, Cutler or with tho church? My honest opinion is that the church or Its lenders havo never troubled their minds about tho A. 0. U. If they have, It ha3 been for its advancement. I do not believe that any of our political politi-cal parties in the state have dono or will do anything to the detriment of any of our state institutions, and I believe be-lieve furthermore that Smoot and Cutler Cut-ler will do all In tholr power to maintain main-tain and support tho A. C. U. and every other institution established and mnlu-tniued mnlu-tniued by public funds within tho confines con-fines of tho state. Wo up hero in tho north uro too apt to jump at conclusions. conclu-sions. We are as great a pack of calamity ca-lamity howlers as you can find on any hundred square miles this sido of Africa. Af-rica. I,et us bo calm and considerate, reason together, abolish "Tribune tactics," tac-tics," don't fly off tho handle at tho least appearance of friction, don't bo-liovo bo-liovo that all tho leading citizens of tho stato outsldo of this county nro against us, and tho groat institution on the hill, for it is all bosh. Tho A. C. U. will remain on tho hill east of logan, until it crumbles to pieces of old ngo, and It will not suffer cither, if per-chanco per-chanco some day tho lawmakers of our commonwealth sco fit to placo tho U. of U. and A. C. U. under ono head. IONA. Logan, May lClh, l'JOG. |
