A newspaper has the legal right
to publish whatever an individual
has legal right to circulate orally.
In other words an individual has
no more right to make criticism
and accusation on the streets than
a newspaper has through its col
umns. But the average man
doesn't seem to think so, for he
will froth at the mouth and criti
cize and denounce the editor and
his paper, up one side of the street
and down the other, and then have
yearning desire to "clean out the
printing office" if the paper he has
been denouncing publishes a two

claring he is but one degree re-

Menominee mines of the American
Steel Y Wire company, under Captain
Sellwood, who was always specially
interestedand delighted by Shephards
progress and adaptability. Later he
was placed in charge of the Menomi-
nee mines of Corrigan, Mckinney &
Company, and when they wanted a
man at their Mesaba mines, to move
an almost impossible volume of ton
mage, sold at low prices, they selected
him and put him in charge. For the
past three years his residence has
been at Stevenson, where he has been
in immediate charge of the tremen-
dous Stevenson mine, but he has al
so been superintendent OF the remain
ing Mesaba mines of tile group and of
their Gogebic properties. Mr.. Shep-
hard was san able energetic, skilful

The MINER is not in touch with
the reckless manner in which teams
are driven through the streets ev-
cry time the fire alarm is sounded.
Some day there will be a fatality
and then there will be trouble. We
noticed number of teams driven
with runaway speed to the city
hall Wednesday morning and some
drivers were pounding the animals
with wagon stakes to still further
accelerate the speed. This is wrong.
No time is gained thereby as in
variably a mix-up occurs at the
hall. Besides, there is law
against pounding horses. 1t should
be enforced and an example made
of some of the cruel drivers.

Control Of Fores. Reserves.

By a law passed at the last session
of Congress the federal forest re-
serves ere taken from the control Of
the Interior Department and put un-
der the control of the Department OF
Agriculture. The Secretary OF Agri-
culture, 1t was argued, should be made
their custodian, inasmuch as he was
charged with the general promotion =,
agriculture and the general supervi-
sion of all agencies for protecting
our soils and developing their produc-
tive capacity. Not only that, but he
had also ready and organized in his
department a bureau for the practf.
cal study of forestry problems. Com.
hitting the forest reservations to his
care meant not only that they could
be treated as active factors in agri-
cultural development but also that
they could be made more or less self
supporting. Secretary Wilson has JUS

i~slation by planning a reorganization
