HARMONY.

gHE HEBaLD has been foremost IN
encouraging the stock men to organize
themselves into societies and assocla-
tens, and put themselves in the way |
of best serving each other and provid-
ing most protection to the business.
The stock industry is among the two or
three industries in the Territory that
are really important; it is the one. next
to mining, which brings money into the
Territory. Its business also that Is
profitable TO the many, and cannot oe
monopeliEed, by the few, as is the case
with so many of the industries The
Moor farmer derives benefit from his
calves and colts, and many men getail
the money that comes into their
hands during the year from
the sale of the two or three COWS and
that have grewn up and been fst-
tened without cost to their owners
Because of the Importance of the indus
try and realizing that it is growing and
will, if properly managed, grow ana
deyelep until it is second to none IN
Utah. THE Herald has given the mat
ter much attention, land has persisted
in urging the stock men to adopt system
and get method into their business.
Last fall a lively interest was created,
and several county associations were
formed. Stock owners readily saw the
advantages 70 be derived from united
effort and harmonious action. and they
nave not been slow to fall into line. Al
ready the usefulaeSs of these local
societies has been demonstrated in
numerous instances. Now the stockmen
meet and the first thing that presents
itself is dissension, or'want of harmony
among them We do not care at this
time to go into the causes that have led
to the dispute. nor would it be profit
able or proper to discuss who are right
and who wrong in the controversy
thai has unfortunately arisen. What
eyer.rnay be the merits or dement's of
this factions claim or that ones profes-
sions, no ore will attempt to dispute
the proposition that more good can be
accomplished through harmonious
and united action, than by
ouarreling and disvision. II is
good that all aim at, and the way tc
obtain It's by cooperation to that end
Personal likes and dislikes and individ
ual Engagements. ambitions and jeal
Gus should find no place in an effort o.
this character. and the further they ar
carried into it, the less benefit vii
accrue from whatever may be done
There should be one Territorial organi
zation, OF which the County association
will be the cooperating and supportin
branches; If there are more than on
central organization, conflict and riva
ing will ensue, and there will bel fallin
short of hhe objects aimed at, an
in proportion as one or bot
are vindietive and spiteful, Their
will be failure. Plainly if the stoc
men, who should work together fl
mutual beneft and protection, al
going to disagree. quarrel and pu
apart, the old absence of any preten
to system might better he continued
every man for himself, and the thiey
and sharpers for them all.
In the interest," of the stock industr
as well as in the interest of peace al
fraternity, THE HERALD urges the di
ordant element to smother this person
feeling and harmonic in an effort
benefit the whole. Nothing can
gained by disunion. while everythil
desirable will follow honest cooperate
We hope to have the pleasure to-merrC
morrow OF saying that peace prevail
and that the stock men have wisely &C
cluded to work together forst:le prot,
ton. Development and prosperity of Il
great and rapidly growing industry.
