Show PUNISHED FOR DISOBEDIENCE Ono of tho most prominent nnd prosperous fnrmers of North Logan camo to Lognn yesterday to get his mall. Whllo horo ho talked about hay, cattlo, horsos, weather, politics and mall. As to hay, ho had some, but not enough to mako htm feel safe tho way tho weather Is acting, so ho haR beon Belling his cattlo and cutting cut-ting down on tho feed of tho horses, except those that ho Is expecting to put to work when crop tlti-e rolls around. As to politics and mall, nh, that's the point, nnd therein Is where he has beon punished for disobedience, In tho days of long ago this gentleman, gentle-man, who Is progressive, which accounts ac-counts In a moasuro for hts prosperity, prosperi-ty, lod out with others and secured a rural routo along tho main road through North Logan. Curing the days of his undying domocracy tho route remained the same and Uncle Sam's mall curriers made tholr regular regu-lar circuits. But during tho last election this gentleman could not stand for some of tho doings of his hitherto political associates, and In fact ho deigned to criticise some of their acts. Ho wont so far as to .show beyond tho question oka reasonable doubt that soma whom ho had holpod to elect to offlto were lncompeteut, that they woro partial, and bad done things that wero grossly unjust. To bo true to himself It became noces-sary noces-sary for him to refuso furthor support, sup-port, In other words to dlsoboy tho chiefs of the great domocracy of Cache county. And for this disobedience ho is punished. Slnco tho election, It U said that the Hon. Postmaster having hav-ing this particular routo In chargo has effected a change so that now thi mall carrier halts on that portion of tho main road somowhat south of thlB particular gontleman's place and wanders east, thence north, and thence west to tho main road, and thence north as heretofore. Just enough change, Just enough of a Jog, to punish this gentleman for disobeying disobey-ing tho bosses of tho democratic party. And for this act of dlsobedl-enco dlsobedl-enco ho now finds It necessary to como to Logan to get his mall. |
