A SUGGESTION.

THE TRIBUNE is one of those
hireling journals that is willing
that the sheep business an d ev-
cry other legitimate business
should be amply protected from
foreign competition made posi-
bic by low wages and other ad-
vantageous circumstances. We
are one of the hirelings that wants
to see the people of the United
States as nearly as possible indie
pendent of the rest of the world
in so far as physical necessities
and luxuries are concerned. We,
just now, do not see any particu-
lar objection to letting she sheep
mans flocks and the cowman's
herds and the horseman's bands
and the hogman's droves nibble
the grass that grows in the for
est reserves. Being thus dis
posed, we hope we may without
otfense offer suggestion to sheep
men. The other day we were in
formed that .sheepmaa of this
locality entered into a FIVE years
cotract with certain farmers to
take, at a stipulated price, all the
hay they could raise, not exceed
ing 500 tons annually. We want
to suggest to sheepmen generally
that it would be a wise thing if |
all of them would work along the |
same lines. 1t would very soon
insure them against winter losses, |
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1900-01-13

and moreover it would establish
such relations between farmers
and sheepmen as to make the in
dustries mutually helpful and es-
tablish cordially. Sheepmen,
who just now are remarkablypros-
porous, must not expect the Co
operation Of the farmers unless
they exert themseles in such q way
as TO make the sheep industry Of
direct benefit to the farmers. We
may realize that in round about
way, the sheep industry is inn
mensely benefiting the farmers.
Farmers realize that; but it
troubles them to think that they
can rarely put their finger on the
particular dollar that the sheep
industry puts into their pockets.
This would be all rapidly changed
if the course of the sheepman we
have referred to were more gen.
orally pursued. Let the sheep
men go among the farmers and
contract to take all their surplus
hay for three, five or seven years
to come; let fair price be agreed
on and promptly paid directly in
to the hands of the farmers, and
we vouch for it there will be in the
long run greater prosperity in the
sheep business and an era OF
great good will among shee pmer
and farmers. Try it.

a solemn, hopeless encyclopedia
on legs. That's what our schools
are aiming to turn otlt, but thanks
to what some people call original
sin, or natural cussedness, the
schools do NOT attain perfect sue
cess; they have not yet been able g
utterly destroy happiness from the
face Of earth, but they have made
heroic efforts. Now, schooling is
proper, it is necessary; but in is
relations to children between the.
ages Of s and IS, il should be an
instrument for the development OF
good humor, morality and patriot
ism, and good l,umor is the foun-
dation Of all that is good and beau
tifulin human nature. 1t is the
root of happiness and happiness
is the one thing that all men
throughout all the ages have been
striving for. Make the formative
period of child life as happy as
possible and there will. proper
tionately, grow up a happy man
hood and womanhood, Crowd
all the sunshine and happiness
possible into child life. Curtail
the hours Of labor and confine-
ment. Let children by experience
realize that life is a beautiful and
a joyous thing. The ideal boy or
girl is he or she who begins the
10Th year oflife with good con-
stitution, a receptive mind and
countenance beaming with glad
ness-he or she who, peering into
the future, catches glimpses of
running. brooks, shady forests
green fields, flowers and singing
birds. A happy man never com
mitted a crime.

is what his words mean, If they
mean anything, DR.. Seaver of
Yale has added fuel 10 the fire by
taking slap at her foot. In
subsequent statement TO the one
in which he showed that the av-
erage Eastern girl was thin
chested and angular, he declares
that the fallacy in regard 10 the
big feet OF Western girls is ex-
ploded by the statistics which he
has at hand. His figures show
thar the girls a. Wellesley college
have feet that are far larger on
the average than are the feet OF
girls at Oberlin. or the Nebraska
university. While, Of course,
this compliment will be appreci-
ated by the Western girls, it is an
uncalled-for humiliation for the
pretty ones at w ellesley.

HAPPINESS the 0oAL.

r A: happy man never committed
a crime; happy man never will
fully betrayed friend; happy
man never turned traitor to his
country; a happy man never
knowingly insulted woman or
malicieusly offended any one; a
happy man never figured in d.
vorce case, default case or any
ether disreputable business. A.
happy man was never fined for
cruelty to animals and never struck
child. A happy man was never
bride giver nor bride taker-
happy man is, in short, the near
est possible approach to perfect
human being. 1t has for ages
been the belief that happy dis
position is entirely a matter of
hereditary; that a being is born
with joy and gladness in his heart
or is born with a soul OF glSeEn
and morbid repinings. This is,
we think, emily partly true. Good
humor is at the root of happiness
and good humor is a habit of mind.
The thing which doctors call hy-
pochondria, and which ordinary
people know 40 melancholy or
blues, is disease, not a natural
state. 1t is, we believe, disease
which about three fourths of the
afflicted contract at school. be-
tween the ages Of 6 and IS. Dur
ling those nine years habits are
formed. The child, contemplate
ing its present condition Of labor
and confinement, seeing no pros
pect of change in what seems to
it an eternity of years, having all
the sunshine and joy shut out of
its young life, becomes morose
and gloomy. 1t drops into the
habit of regarding the future with
awe and forebodings. 1t is
taught by precept and experience
that the discipline it is undergoing
is designed wholly to brace and
fortify it to Withstand the still
greater trials and horrors in store.
Its joyous nature is in a constant
state of revolt against the unnat-
ural restraints and the laborous
burdens, and breaks forth on ev-
cry possible occasion into bursts
of gladness. With the tap of
the SCHOOL bell the child EuSheS
away like poor bird from the
prison cage. In moment almost
it is called back into the stuffy
room to brood over its wrongs
and the endless lessons it cannot
understand. In time, its animal
spirits are crushed; the blossoms
of joy which bloomed naturally in
its soul have faded and died; it
becomes resigned to it's fate and its |
melancholy; it is aged far beyond
its years, and has finally attained
that dreary height designed for
it by parental pride and ambition

THEY CAN'T ENDORSE.

We observe that the Sheep
Growers Association before ad-
journing, unanimously resolved
that the Government forest re-
serves ought to be thrown open
for sheep pastures. We believe
that is all right; but some high
authorities in the Democratic par
ty who are now sheepmen, will,
in conscience, be obliged to OPP
pose the proposition. The sheep
business is dependent for its sue
cess on the Protective Tariff. In
fact, it is q direct offspring of that
nefarious law, and must be class
ed, with trusts, as child of in
fanny, born in the womb of greed
and nourished by the robbery of
the masses for the benefit of the
classes. The righteous thing to
do, from the Democratic stand
point, is to strangle the sheep
business-~to make it so unrrofit-
able that nobody will want it pro-
tected. See how inconsistent it
will be for the Democrats to be
smashing the tariff at Washington
while at the same time asking
special privileges for sheep in
Idaho. Already sheepnen are
beginning to form trusts. AT
Mount&inhome a number of sheep
companies have consolidated, and
the Sheep Growers Association
itself is nothing less than a COM
bination to maintain prices. We
are told that they are now trying
to effect combination whereby
not a pound of Idaho wool shall
be sold for less than 30 cents.
Mechanically, this arrangement
will advance a $40 suit of clothes
to ten dollars six and a quarter
cents: 1t is also whispered that
they have secretly agreed on a.
wage scale 10 per centum higher
than ever before. No good
Democrat can lend himself TO the
promotion of that kind of bust
ness and we shall not be surprised
if at the next Democratic conven-
ton all the good Democrats vote
for a 4resolution deuouncing Pro-
tectiEe Tariff with all its infamous
brood. Then, in the blissful con-
scionsness Of having done their
full duty and the still more bliss
full assurance that the tariff will
not be changed, they viii go out
into the forest reserves and buy |
more sheep.

40 especial interest in the Rob-
erts case and that they were
making a mistake in assuming
such special interest. We have
said that their attitude tended to
strengthen the suspicion that the
still sanctioned and taught
plural marriage and for that we
have been cordially abused by
over Jealous and udthinking Nor
mons. But to any thinking per-
son it must now be clear
that President Snow took exactly
the same view, and this, we trust,
will open the eyes that remained
closed to our argument and en-
treaty. We presume men Of the
calibre of the Paris Post will go
on secretly hating and publicly
denouncing us just the same, be-
cause men Of his class will now
envy US because they will suspect
that we have exercised or be-
witched President Snow. Last
week the Post editor said that it
was the reading of TRIBUNE arti-
cles that caused all the agitation
against Roberts, and next week
he will have to charge that''it was
our articles that influenced the
mind of the President of the Nor

gratifying to be known as the

ant thing to consider is, how

TRIBUNE does not hesitate to pre-

place, we believe the proclama-
should be taken in absolute good
faith as a declaration of the &C
tual attitude of the church on the
questions of polygamy and unlaw-
full cohabitation. Secondly, we
believe it is all sufficient to the
purpose. Thirdly, we believe
that it should and will allay al
honest doubt and suspicion, and

people, and have a tendency tc

SNOW S PROCLAMATION.

Elsewhere IN this paper VIII Ee
fonnd proclamation Or address
recently issued by Lorenzo Snow,
president of the Mormon church,
the careful reading of which we
recommend to all people interested
in the Mormon question. Presi-
dent Snow re-afirms President
Woodruffs manifesto and clearly
defines it as meaning that "thc
church has positively abandoned
polygamy, OF the solemnization Of
plural marriage in this or in any
other State, and that no member
or officer thereof has any author
ity whatever to perform plural
marriage or enter into such a re-
lation." That certainly is specific
enough in respect to polygamy,
and should satisfy fair and unpre-
JUDGED people. President Snow
furthsr says, "Nor does the
church advise or encourage unlaw-
full Capitalization on the part of any
Gifts members. If, therefore, any
member disobeys the law, either
as to polygamy or unlawful CO.
habitation, he must bear his own
burden; or, in oihsr.%, words, be
answerable to the tE rl1 g Of the
land for his OWE, action pertaining
thereto" There viii be some
criticism on this portion of the
proclamation, because it does not
go to the extent of condemning
unlawful cohabitation as an Of
tense against the church. In our
opinion President Snow would not
be warranted in matchmaking
unlawful cohabitation, neither
would the church be justified in
undertaking to discipline members
found guilty of the act. We must
not expect unreasonable things of
the Mormon church. A compar-
atively few years ago not only
advised and encouraged plural
marriages but in some instances,
notably the case of B. H. Roberts,
commanded them, At that time
and even now, plural marriage
was believed to be a divine insti-
tuition ordained of God. Itwould
be unreasonable now for the
church to discipline men for CO.
habiting with women the church
had encouraged and commanded
themto marry. The utmost the
church authorities can do is to say
to those men, the practice of poly
gamy has been absolutely abaAd-
oned, " the church does not adj
wise or encourage unlawful CO.
habitation, therefore, those who
practice pOlygamy or unlawful
Capitalization must answer to the
civil law, or the tribunals of the
land" 1t will probably be con-
tended that as President Shows
proclamation contains nothing
new, it was unnecessary. We
are of a different opinion. Il
has been openly charged thai
the Mormons were engaged in ar
effort to re-establish the practice
of polygamy and renew the SOL
emnization of plural marriages
This President Shows proclama-
ton fatty and authoritatively con.
tradicts and ought to silence. Ir
another direction it is equally
pertinent and timely. A great
many MormOns have rushed tc
the defence of b. H. Roberts or
the assumption that his case was
the case of the Mormon people
President Snow tells them plainly
that Roberts must bear his own
burden; that the church is in no.
wise responsible for his acts in re-
lation to polygamv or unlawful
