Show H THE A. C. OF U.iBOARD. M Thai new board! What does It H ' mean? H . , ' Tin: nKi-uiiLicANdocsn't know, and H 1 1 h not surmising a great deal. M , There are those who Insist that the M .jr appointment of V. W. Rltcr Is an H r openlnu wedge for the merging of the I two schools two years hence. !Tk RuruiiLicAN prefers to believe that Governor Cutler made this ap- polntmcnt In the hope of Mr. Rltcr H ' being able to removothe. extreme Jcal- H ousy that exists between the two In- H . As a member of both boards his op- M J J portunlty along this lino Is very great. fl " Until ho proves by overt act that he 1 and tho governor aro In collusion to accomplish some dark and bloody deed, B Tub Hepuiilican prefers to accept H the assurance of his friends that he H will "play fair." M , It Is freely said that John Q. Adams M . was appointed only aftcrbelng pledged M to what Is dubbed tho "Wldtsoc-Mer- H regime." M Tug RKriniLicAN lms no tangible H evidence of any such collusion, and H though It were truo wo are not cog H I nlzant of anything that leads us to be- M lleve any so-called "Mcrrlll-Wldtsoc H regime" In operation at the college H would mean Its destruction or Its cur- H tallment. B Such a "regime" might be galling H to many and unsatisfactory to most, H but the result of any such reglrao or H the probable action of tho new board H In any Instance is purely speculation. H It can't bo more than that at this H i Tub Ri:ruiiLiCAN prefers to believe H ' that John Q. Adams will sense his re- B ' Eponslblllty to Utah's educational In- H j tcrests and servo the people of his H statu rather than Individual Interests. H ! It Is said that Susa Young Gates has H wheels In her head and Is anxious to H do somebody or something a terribly H I bad turn, and intense partisans aro H ' figuring that Mrs. McCuno will be as H putty In her hands. H Tub ItounucAN regrets that It Is H - unacquainted with Sister McCunc, but H we've seen her photo and glvo her H credit for having a few wheels of her H own. There Is no need of her borrow- H ing any of Sister Young's, if, Indeed, H that distinguished lady has any to H spare and is anxious to rent them out. H Wo prefer to bcllcvo that Mrs. Mc- H ' Cunc will cxcrclso her own Intclll- H gence, her own will and make a splcn- H did member of the new board. H As 'for McCornlck, wo know ho is all H gold, 410 carat and as for Smart and H St'ohl, tho other two hold-overs, tiicy H won't count, anyway, If the others are H all right. In Justice to Mr. Smart It H may be said that he is not regarded as H bellgcrent. H Tub Hkpuhlican would urge con- H servathc thought and expression at H this tlms. Wo can not seo why Cover- H nor Cutler found It necessary to name H four Salt Lakers on the board; wo can H not understand why ono of these H should be a member of tho University H boanf, a member usually counted H against the College; we can not under- H stand why he named another lady on H tho board, except to keep tho other H lono soul company; wo can't sco why HH the south halt of the state should not H have been represented on tho board; H -wo can not understand why an eml- nent man should hao been named on the University board after he had signified a willingness to servo and a dcslro to be appointed on tho A. C. board; wo can not understand why Governor Cutler, who must look to the senate for confirmation of his appointees, ap-pointees, did not consult the senator from Cache, or some othcrof hlsCache friends, when It camo to naming a Cache man as a trustee; wo can not t ithom the mind that conceived such a board, and for the reason that wo oin not fathom the motive behind theso appointments and because tho board has not organized, dono any business, or given expression of Its Intent, In-tent, Tub Rki-uiilican would urge tho public to go It a little mildly and await),! developments, developments that will hardly bo long delayed, for tho board must get down to business within a tew weeks, This is a pretty good time to keep still. No Ice can be cut at this stage of the game and ranting rant-ing and'ravlng might servo to aggravate aggra-vate a situation that has dcllcato features. Get your knlfo In time if you want to, but slip It down Into your bootleg and If tho tlmo should come It will bo ready but not now. |
