We regret the fact that sofhe of our readers have seen fit t0 take offense at certain editorials that have appeared in the Independent. We do not however. regret having written the editorials to which ex- captions were taken.
 We do not tell all the truth that We know. but what we do tell, is the truth as we understand 1t, and te have no apology to make for telling the truth. u0r do we sec any just reason for anyone taking offense at truth as long as persona lities ;ire avoided. We do not deny but that we may be wrong in some things and possibly in all things, for We claim not perfection. Iii fact, we do not claim to know anything absolutely; we know things only in a relative sense, We do not belong to that class of individuals that would have the world believe that they had arroga- ted unto themselves all good, and that their lives were suspended from q golden thread. one end of which was held aloft by bright winged angel, and the other end securely made fast to the Big White Throne.

We believe that we are right and until convinced otherwise. shall continue to tell the truth as we understand it, both politically and religiously. as occasion may seeni to demand.

W V NS~S - A~ N~Ne'
 What do men live. and con tinually strive for! Happiness. Is life worth living without happiness? No. Do the great masses of laboring people enjoy the comforts and happiness i'll yfhis life to winch their labors flghtfully entitle them' No. Why is this sc! Becattse the existing spirit of commereiallsm does not allow labor 10 receive its just reward; because those who by hook Or crook, theft, speculation, robbery of widows and orphans. favoritism i'll Legislation or by any other means have secured a fortune, immediately set about using the power which their wealth gives. as a leverage to boost them selves higher and force others down; because those economic conditions that produce millio- nairs oh the one hand, also produce paupers on the other. Civilization is a costly thing that can be maintained only by a tremendous expenditure of energy, and if any considerable portion of civilized mankind pass through life iu idleness and luxury, it means an additional heavy burden placed upon the shoulders of those that perform the worlds work.
 Wealth gives to man the same advantage over his fellow men, that a horse hitched to the long end of double-tree would have over one hitcl1ed to the short end. The horse hitched to the short end would have the load to pull, and no extra amount of exertion on his part would avail to shift the load onto tile favored horse.
 Strange as 1t may seem, their are men claiming to be intelli- gent. beings, that believe, or claim to believe, that 1t would be wrong to deprive the horse on the long end of the double tree of his advantage, since having gained 1t by onmable means, he has a perfect right to force the other horse to pull his load for him, They of course do not speak thus of horses in particular, but the same princi- pie is involved and the same stand taken, wheH they claim that one man can rightfully appropriate unto himself mill- ions of dollars that have been produced by other mems labor. As a matter of fact, no such moral right exists. Those con- ditlons that permits one man to demand for himself portion of the reward yielded by an- other mans labor, are not right, nor can they ever be made right by any number of laws that may be made to sustain them.
 The millionair may indeed have q lawful sght to the millions which Ire has wrung from the wage-slaTes that are working for him, but morally, l he stands before the world re- vealed as a thief, possessing
 
 ellat which rightfully belongs tp others I

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1.-The re-
lations between the United States and
Japan, as a result of the attitude of
the japanese government toward the
California authorities in school mat.
tiers, have become acute. An errone.
Gus impression as to the presidents
position has been widely circulated.
President Agrees With MetcaIf.
The president absolutely concurs
with Secretary Metcalf that the Jap,
anese have no cause for grievance,
and no treaty right has been abrogat-
ed. He did not think so at first, but
is now convinced that the state has a
perfect right to separate the Japs from
other scholars. The president says the
Japanese government is asking too
much.

viii Be Erected at the Experiment
Farm and Used to Demonstrate
the Shrinkage of Wool Treated
for Market-Plant Looked For
Early in the Coming Year.

Prof. B. G. Buffum, director of the
experiment station of the agricultural
college of the University of Wyoming.
who has been south and east for sew
eral weeks, returned home this morn
ing. He went from here to Baton
Rouge, La, to attend the meeting of
officers of agricultural colleges, going
from there to New York. Philadelphia
and Boston on business for the sta.
ton. He came home feeling first rate,
the trip having been a delightful me.
At New York Prof. Buffum was with
the Wyoming colony" as told in The
Republican a day or two ago.
Bought Securing Plant.
At Boston Prof. Buffum bought a
complete Hunter hand-washiaG ma
chine for securing wool, including a
battery of three watts and the necessary
rolls. This will cleanse the wool of
all impurities that can be washed out.
leaving it commercially known as
secured WOOL" The manufacturers
promised to have it ready for shipment
in three or four weeks. so that it will
probably be some time in January of
the new year before it reaches Lar
annie. 1t will be installed at the ex-
pertinent station.
viii Test %Shrinkage.
The object of this securing plant is
to test the shrinkage of wool from the
raw state to the secured product. 1t
is contended by certain wool produc-
ers of the state that they are discrim-
mated against in the eastern market.
the shrinkage being less than is
charged to their wool. The expert
ment station will erect this plant and
treat the wool in exactly the same
way that it is treated in the big ware
houses, so that if there be discrimina-
ton it a be remedied.
viii Plead for FIeeces.
The plant is one of the best of sew
eral inspected by the director, embody-
ing as many of the good points of each
as possible, so that the tests may be
made in a business-like manner. 1t
will have a capacity of from 1000 to
5000 pounds per day. The director
will appeal to the sheepmen of the
state for sample fleeces to be treated
in these experiments, the effort being
to gain information that will be of ben
eft to every wool producer in Wyo-
ming. Prof. Buffum was delighted
with the result of his trip and the pur-
chase of the Hunter plant.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 1.-The tobacco
stemmeries of John Stenger and John
G. Orr, the latter controlled by the
Imperial Tobacco company of New
York, were destroyed early today by a
fire kindled by a mob of masked men.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
Mob Worked systematically.
The mob, which numbered about
800 men, entered Princeton between 1
and 2 o'clock and seized the night
town marshal and disarmed him. Then
they went to the factories and quickly
applied the torch.
Help Was Prevented.
The masked men stood on guard,
permitting nobody to come near until
the buildings were completely envel-
oped in flames and help was useless.
A squad Of the mob took charge of
the telephone office, and no word of
the affair was permitted to go out.
Move Against Trust.
The work of the mob is believed to
be only a ~furtherance of the agitation
by the tobacco raisers against the To.
bacco trust. The organization of farm
ers is known as the Dark Tobacco
Growers Protective association, but it
is not known that any member of that
organization was in last nights mob.

passed through the city this afternoon,
en- route to Green River from Douglas
with an alleged horse thief. He told
Sheriff Reals of his experience with d
former newspaper manager of this city,
who had gotten into trouble at Chey-
enne over bogus checks. The offender
made a great bluff, but the sheriff told
him he must produce the $50 or leave
the train. After some discussion of
the matter the wife of the former news
paper man stepped behind a screen for
a moment and when she again came
into view she had the fifty. The cou-
pie were permitted to proceed. Sheriff
Harris caught the alleged horse thief
at Douglas.

One of the Brothers Resides Here, Be-
ing Connected With the Laramie
vided Into Farms and Brought

Has the day of the big ranch in
Laramie county passed? asks the Chey
enne Tribune.
1t has SO far as one big ranch is
concerned, in fact the largest individ-
ual cattle ranch in Laramie county will
soon be cut up into small farms.
Today a deal was concluded by
which j. L. Thomas, of Egbert, sold
to the Federal Land and Securities
company more than 10000 acres of
decided land, and transferred leases
upon 10000 acres more. Mr.. Thomas,
however, has eleven months in which
to dispose of his cattle and give posses
sion of the land to the purchasers. This
large ranch fronts fifteen miles on the
Union Pacific road, twelve miles on
Pole creek, and extends within twelve
miles of Cheyenne. There is water
sufficient IL the bitches and reservoirs
already existing to reclaim between
eight and ten thousand acres.
First in Sheep Business.
The Thomas brothers came to Lar
annie county in the early sos and en-
gagged in the sheep business, later go
ing into the cattle industry. They
divided their interests and property
some years ago. ]. L. Thomas cat
tie ranch at Egbert is probably the
largest ranch owned by one man In
this county. The consideration for
the purchase of this large tract of land
is said to be in the neighborhood OF
100000.
Will Remain in Wyoming.
The land will be cut up into small
farms ana ~colonized. Mr.. Thomas has
made a great success in Wyoming
ana SAYS he expects to spend the re-
mainder of his days here. He VIII
probably make his home in cheyenne
The Federal Land and Securities com
pany recently purchased the George
Gilland ranch of $4,000 acres at Egg
bert for colonization purposes. Ihis
company evidently has faith In the
future of dry farming.

MAY MAKE
OWN RAILS
UNION PACIFIC THOUGHT TO BE
PREPARING TO GO INTO THE
IRON BUSINESS SOON.
Hartman Has Acquired Large Mineral
Tracts at Iron Mountain, Where
There Is l~nexhaustibIe Bed of Ore,
and May Proceed to Provide Com
pany With Its Own Rails.

Reports from Wyoming indicate that
Hartman is framing up to go into the
iron business on a large scale in Wyo-
ming, says the Omaha Bee. Daily
word is expected from New York that
Hartman has acquired large tracts of
mineral land in Wyoming, but whether
this is to combat the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company or simply to assist
in providing some of the steel rails
which are now needed in such enor-
nous quantities is not publicly known.
Eyes on Iron Mountain.
During the last few weeks many fill
tain district, forty miles north of Chey-
enne, oncr@ there IS ore of the largest
deposits of iron ore to be found any
where in the world. Years ago the
entire country was located, but it was
found the ore could not be treated by
the process then in use. For a time
experiments were conducted at great
expense, but the chemists and others
were compelled to give up in despair.
The railroad companies and Others Of
fered large sums to the person who
would first discover a practical process
by which the ore could be treated. but
even these tempting offers did not
bring results.
Supply Is lnexhaustibIe.
1t is reported in Wyoming that a
process has at last been discovered
by which this ore can be treated.
Many of the filings have been made by
rich men who stand close to the Union
Pacific and many have been made by
poor men.
1t is said the supply of the Iron
mountain ore is practically inexhaust,
ible and the combined steel plants OF
the country could take their supply for
hundreds of years to come without
making a shortage.
Manager Mohler Doubtful.
General Manager Mohler of the
Union Pacific says he doesn't believe
there is any truth in the report, as he
understands no way has been found
to date or new process for utilizing
that ore.
