1t has been suggested that the terri
torial Legislature should at Its coming
session, provide for sending wyoming's
contribution to the Washington monu-
ment. in the shape of a native block of
stone, suitably dressed and inscribed,
as has been proposed and is being doao
by other states and territories. The
contribution is comparatively an mex
pensiye one, and the pride of our peo-
pie in their territory should prompt its
donation.
The suggestion of the organization Of
the newspaper men OF the territory,
into an association, made by the Sun,
is a good one, and should be carried
out. There Is no reason why the news
paper men here should be behind those
OF other states and territories in this
respect. The LEADER favors such a
territorial association, and will lend its
aid to the purpose, trusting that those
who are connected with the other news
papers Of the territory will do likewise.
