NOT ENTITLED TO PRAISE.

Deputy Sheriff Smith upheld the
law last week in preventing the al
legged pirze fight. No one will be
found who will not sustain his posi-
tion, who has regard for the law.
Whether Mr.. Smith arrested the prin-
cipals in the affair. simply because
they were about to violate the law
or for some ulterior purpose, he never
theless su stained the provisions of the
law in making the arrests.
We cannot see, though. why Officer
Smith is entitled to anv special prai Sc
for doing his duty. He Is paid a
good round salary as a deputy official
to maintain the laws. but for some
reason some one is parading his action
as terrifically meritorious.

DIDN'T HAVE TWO IPLUNKs.

The Longmont Call. took half
column of space in its latest issue to
apologize to Secretary Paul b. Smith.
of the Coloraod Editorial association.
tor refusing to send its EDITORS initi-
alton fee and dues to the association.
Evidently some misguided member
of the association. proposed for mem
beTship the Calls editor and he was
unfortunately elected The associat-
ion has made many mistakes. but one
of its greatest evidently was in ac-
cepting for membership. George W.
johnson. whoever he may be.
For years the state association has
fought backcappers without the fra
ternity; boards of county commission
ers; big headed county clerks and as
in the state courts. All opposition
of this kind was met with determin-
ed front and finally vanquished.
Some opposition was encountered
from editors, who deluded themselves
with the idea that it was time wasted
and unbecoming to their positions. to
affiliate with the association. These
latter have reduced their head swell
ings and have long since affiliated
with the association.
But now comes one forth. seeking
some notarietv. that his publication
fails to give him and elevates his
snout from his trough-snorts a chal-
lenge to the association.
1t is unfortunate to have to work
for such ingrates. Every piece of
legislation secured or attempted. has
been for the general welfare of the
craft. There has not been selfish
thought in the compilation of any
proposed legislation. 1t was made to
fit all possible contingencies. as nearly
as possible. After all that has been
done and surely 1t has been consider
able, the value of it all is compared
to the benefits to be obtained from an
indefinitely higher or lower rate per
quire of ready print.
All of the suggestions made for the
betterment of the craft. in the article
referred to have been thoroughly can
vassed. Nothing therein suggested is
new to the association. but it takes
those who remain wilfully ignorant
of what is being done for their well
fare to snap and snarl. because more
has not been accomplished.
We're glad the Calls editor didn't
send Mr., Smith the two dollars. Had
he done so and had he attended the
meetings of the association and had
his roof garden FURNISHED up. by
coming into contact with the associat-
ions membership, he would possibly
not have had to bewail the fact that he
could not raise thirty cents to retain
a lawyer to collect his lust bills.
From what the Call wrote of the
work accomplished by the association.
we are inclined to believe that what
ever is paid to it. is beyond its value
The paper containing the article
came direct to this office from Long
mont. Evidently its editor is more
concerned in seeking publicity than
that or reforming the Editorial associ-
ion.
