The statistician for the Chicago
stock yards, who travels continu-
ously over the western cattle range
country. having covered much OF
Montana. Idaho, Utah, Arizona,
Texas and Southwestern Colorado
within the last month, says that
the grass crop has not been SO lux
uriant for years as it IS this spring.
All the cattle ranges are bounte-
ously supplied except California,
which is in bad way. Grass IS
one-quarter OF the worlds wealth.
Therefore the logical results of
these conditions are obvious.
Rains which have fallen during the
last month are chiefly responsible
for the promising outlook for the
range cattle industry.

1t may be laid down as automatic
that no selfrespecting paper ever
willfully publishes an untruth.
Editors may be deceived as well
as other people, and, considering
the swiftness with which they are
compelled to work, it is not sur
prising thatinaccuracies sometimes
creep in. But it is a mistake to
suppose that any reputable paper
ever deliberately manufactured
libelous matter for its columns.
No paper could live long that fol-
lowed such course, ard therefore
the question of policy as well as
principle is involved. By the same
token, every reputable paper stands
ready to make due amends for its
errors, particularly il it is ap-
preached in decent and gentle
manly fashion by the injured par
ties. No citizen with a grievance
ever got half so far with bulldozing
and blufing as he might have
reached through . courteous pre-
sentation 81 his real or fancied in
