THE SHEEP-GRAZING

There is some uneasiness among the
sheep men Of Utah with respect to the
permits to be issued this year for graz
ing on the forest reserves. Mr.. w. r
Dennis voiced this IN a mild form in
yesterdays Tribune when he said that
the sheep men are discouraged by the
slowness of the officials In granting the
permits. This slowness, however, is
not the fault OF the superintendents
or forestcrs of the reserve, but has it's
origin In the uncertainty which is
caused by Senatorial interference in
Washington.
Not many days ago a tract of $50. 900
acres of land was thrown open to graz
Ing. in the Uintah reserve The condi-
tions We're not specified nor was the
old question of large owner or small
owner settled. The large owners want
all their sheep in: the small owners
want a chance, and say that the
proper thing is to include in the graz
ing permits all flocks up to certain
number to the flock. and II there Is yet
accommodation, take In the larger
nocks or q proportionate basis
Now, it is not known precisely on
what basis Senator Smoot wants the
grazing permits settled, nor just what
his interference is about. But there
are rumors OF favoritism and conces-
sions to special interests, which are
disquleting 10 the sheep men. and
which should be cleared up. What is
wanted is a square deal all around, and
as the season is getting along, that
deal should not be longer delayed. II
the matter is left to the National ex-
ccutlve authorities every confidence is
felt that all Will be treated justly, and
with no favoritism; It is the Senatorial
interference that is dreaded, for IA
voritlsm or jobbery is feared, and only
a few know what Senator and Apostle
Smoot has in mind in this business
and 1t is time it was made public

lowed that decision when he released
the beef trust magnates personally. but
held their corporations to account. The
same principle caught Mr.. Rogers. He
could not defy the courr on account OF
his personal privilege. when inquiry
was made about the affairs of his cor
poration the Standard OH company. he
was obliged to tell the facts. These
are. just as the State Of Missouri
claimed. that the Standard OIL COM
pany runs a monopoly IN tine State,
through two concerns. the stock OF
both Of which IT holds.
Attorney General Hadley forced this
admission. and he is entirely justified
in his claim that he has made his
case. That this sort OF combination I'm
restraint and dominance Of trade Is un-
lawful, there is no doubt. The remain
ing question is, are the statutes of Mis-
souri, valid that forbid this monopolis-
tic restraint There seems no reason
to doubt that here. also, Missouris At
torney-General will score q complete
triumph when that point comes up for
final determination.

WORTH LIVING FOR.

The venerable president of the Nor
mon church grows sadly pathetic at
times when he addresses congregations
of his people Such was the case on
the occasion of an impromDtu address
delivered by him in the Brigham Young
chapel at Logan on the 18th inst. Tes-
tifying with much emotion to the
truths Of Mormonism" he afflicted his
hearers with the announcement that
this might be the last time-for all he
knew-that he would have the oppor-
tunity of bearing this message to his
congregation.
Let us trust that his overwrought
feelings were alone responsible for his
gloomy utterance, 1t would be a great
misfortune to this community if Joseph
f. Smith were compelled, by advancing
years or the pressure of many presi-
dencies and directorships. TO neglect his
task or edifying the
congregations OF his people from Sab
bath to Sabbath during the indefinite
future.
Utah looks TO see Joseph F. Smith in
health and yigor and strenuousness
and volubility-holdng fast to his grim
observation-disclosures all the rest Of the
world shall have moved onward, In
cluding his own people, We hope that
he will not be called away until he
can witness a vindication OF the great
labor which now he opposes. 1t would
be a beautiful rounding out Of his life
If he could behold once more the COM
munty, of which he is the head,
brought into harmony with the Gov
ernment of the United States, devoted
to the interests OF this country, and
performing it's part as a factor In hu-
man progress.
Let us trust, President Smith. that
the situation is not as dark as your
words would seem to indicate. Remain
an aggressive, active force with your
people; better, If you could lead them
into reverence for law and into har-
mony with their country. But if this
is constitutionally impossible for you
il is still well that you should live to
see the results accomplished without
your aid You will only need to walt
five years or less and you Will ind
that such OF your kind as remain with
in Utah VIII be as you personally We're
on former occasion-very devoted in
deed in lip service at least, To the
statutes and the sentJmentalities of
the great Nation under whose power
you dwell.
coming events are worth living for.
Stay but a lustrum longer and you Will
see your people free

TWO APOSTLE-SENAToRS.

Yes, Elder R., 1t would be a clever
scruple on the part of the hierarchy to
prevent It's performance.
Therefore, and as you say. no one
has need to be surprised II George
Sutherland, junior Senator from the
State of Utah, is TO be selected as an
apostle to succeed Mariner w. Merrill,
In that way the chief prophet, seer,
and revelator could plunge this coun-
try into the quicksands. Even If Srnoot
were expelled, still there would be an
apostle there-and one quite as subser-
Went as Smoot has ever been. 1t Is
probably true that Sutherland has not
taken the obligation OF vengeance
against the Nation. but, according to
the testimony OF the apostolic experts
a man does not necessarily receive the
apostle. Unless they were falsifyng,
1t must be equally true that he is not
required 10 enter the waters of bap-
tism, And therefore. Sutherland, who
was born In The Mormon church, is
quite eligible TO the distinguished eccle-
siastlcal honor, Besides 1t would only
be fair to confer this office upon Suth-
erland In order that he may be the
equal of Smoot while they remain to-
gether in the Senate. 1T is a little dis
advantageous for George to meet with
Reed In conference at Washington,
only to find that his senatorial prerog
atives. his individual judgment. and his
professional opinions are all over
thrown by the ipse dixit of an apostle.
You are right, Elder r.. 1t is wise
suggestion. and a fair one; and we
doubt not that President Joseph +.
Smith will take into due account the
propriety OF making his two Senator's
equal in ecclesiastical authority. II it
is a good thing TO have one prophet Of
God ministering through the Senate to
this wicked Nation, 1t is twice as good
thing TO have two prophets OF God
doing the same thing.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-03-26
FAULT OR MISFoRTUNEp

An oldtime telegrapher contributes
TO the Rocky Mountain News an earn
est defense OF the night operators at
lonely railway stations, his Views be-
ing particularly called forth by crlti
cisms on the unfortunate s. F. Lively.
who fell asleep at his post in the Rio
Grande station at Swallows, leaving
two trains to rush together to consum-
mate the fatal horror of last week
The old-time telcgrapher says that
man who holds the position occupied
by Lively has to undergo physical,
mental and moral tests as rigid as any
applied In the army, In a bank. or In
the ministry. In addition, ne Is TO be
possessed OF unusual patience and en-
durance; for he must try TO sleep. and
usually in vain, while all the noises OF
the day are making his own slumber
hours hideous. The old-time telegra-
pher finds that Lively was under
paid" "under-slept' and "under-ap-
preciated." and ne contends that rail-
roads should adopt better safeguards
than the mere reliance upon an opera
tor who. from sheer WEAKNESS, may
fall asleep at his key.
There is no doubt that the night op-
orator at railway stations is a devoted
individual If any man in the world
earns his pay and deserves apprecia-
tion this man does. But IT Is not so
clear that the old-time telegrapher is
just when he crltlcises the railroad
company. Naturally every guardian
ship which experience can suggest is
thrown around the running Of trains by
a company like the Rio Grande. The
very rigid examination and tests to
which they subject their operators at
even the most Insignificant way-sta-
ton, demonstrates how careful they
are to avoid all possibility of accident,
costly TO their own property as we'll as
costly In the lives of their passengers,
Perhaps the difficulty is a national
one. A railway station In Europe VIII
have from eight to sixteen men en-
ployed where a similar station In the
United States VIII have two-the day
operator and the night operator-who
perform all the other duties requisite
about the depot, acting as agent bag
gage master. etc. With number OF
men at each station day and night the
particular accident which occurred at
Swallows would be impossible; but
that is a kind of preventive not likely
to be inaugurated, as the tendency III
the United States is to reduction OF
the number of hands necessary for a
given task instead OF an Increase, such
as characterizes the performance OF
labor abroad.
The correct conclusion 10 be drawn
from the old-time telegrapher's defense
IS that Lively the operator, was, along
with his company and the passengers
the victim of a frightful misfortune and
not a fault. according to the prevail
ing standards of railway operation.
