cept in silence the popular version of

The panic did not occur because since

The Governors Letter.
Following is a verbatim copy of the
Governors letter;
April 13, 1906,
Dr.. Louis Metsker, Chief Inspector
of the Bureau of Animal Industry
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
My Dear Sir-Referring to our two
telephone conversations of yesterday
and today, in regard to the desire OF
the sheep men of Rio Arriba County
to procure a change In the ruling OF
the Department of Agriculture con-
cerning the admission of infected
sheep upon the Rio Jemez Forest Re-
serve, beg to say that I am reliably
informed that the facts in the case are
as follows.
1t appears that various sheep men
Of that vicinity have procured pastur.
age permits from the Forest Bureau
of the Department Of Agriculture, and
that as far as the forest service is con.
cerned, these men have complied with
all the necessary conditions. They
now want to take their sheep upon
the reserve and are not allowed to
do so, because they have not conform.
ed to the requirements and regulations
of the Bureau of Animal Industry in
regard to dipping.
Had Not Heard Of the Rule.
You inform me that by circular "R"
of your bureau, issued in 1901, the ad-
mission of infected sheep upon forest
reserves without proper dipping Is pro-
hibited. 1t is evident that this is an
old rule, but the people in question
say that they were surprised after Sc.
curing their pasturage permits that
they should be prohibited from max
ing use of them by an unexpected rule
of which they were not informed. II
they were not informed of the rule at
the time the permits were granted
they could easily have found out about
it, and | do not think that they have
any reasonable cause for complaint
on this account. 1t is undoubtedly

was offered celestial crown for his
muck-rake, but who would neither look
up nor regard the crown he was Of
fered, but continued to rake to him
self the filth of the floor.
Man With the Muck.Rake.
In Pilgrims Progress the man with
the muck-rake is set forth as the ex
ample of him whose vision is fixed on
carnal instead of on spiritual things
Yet he also typified the man who in
this life consistently refused to see
aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes
with solemn intentness only on tina,
which is vile and debasing. Now, i,
Is very necessary that we should not
finch from seeing what is vile and de-
basing There is filth on the floor
and it must be scraped up with the
muck-rake; and there are times and
places where this service is the most
needed of all the services that can be
performed. But the man who never
does anything else, who never thinks
or speaks or writes, save of his feats
with the muck-rake, speedily becomes
not a help to society, not an incite-
ment to good, but one of the most
potent forces for evil.
There are, in the body polite, eco
nomic and social, many and grave
evils, and there is urgent necessity
for the sternest war upon them. There
should be relentless exposure Of and
attack upon every evil man, whether
politician or business man, every evil
practice, whether in politics, In bust.
ness, or in social life. I hail as a
benefactor every writer or speaker,
every man who, on the platform, or in
book, magazine, or newspaper, with
merciless severity makes such attack,
provided always that he in his turn
remembers that the attack is of use
only if 1t is absolutely truthful The
liar is no whit better than the thief,
and if his mendacity takes the form
of slanGer, he may be worse than
most thieves. 1t puts premium up
on knavery untruthfully to attack an
honest man, or even with hysterical
exaggeration to assail bad man with
untruth. An epidemic of indiscrim-
mate assault upon character does not
good, but very great harm. The soul
of every scoundrel is gladdened when.
ever an honest man Is assailed, or
even when scoundrel is untruthfully
assailed
Now, it is easy to twist out of shape
what | have just said, easy to affect
to misunderstood it, and, if it is slur.
red over in repetition, not difficult
really to misunderstood it. Some per.
sons are sincerely incapable Of under
standing that to denounce mud sling
