ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
WEATHER FOR SALT LAKE.
WELCOME wooL.eRowERs.

In common with all the good people
of the city, The Herald extends to the
wool-growers the right hand of fell
lowship and the heartiest or welcomes.
Sheepmen there have been since the
beginning Of time. for we are inform
ed by the Bible, that Abel, poor fcl-
low. was a keeper of sheep. And be-
cause OF the wool-growers the world
has been mighty comfortable. life more
worth living. SO we want our visitors
t. know that the range is theirs ana
that TO man. not even cattle MAJ.
may question their rights. We think
Salt Lake is a pretty good sort of
town, and we want them 10 think so,
too
From time to time we have little
arguments among ourselves, but when
the stranger arrives we are all of one
mind as far as making him feel COM
Portable and at home is concerned.
Chief Of Police Sheets has been given
orders TO see that no sheepman Is
sheared. The clippers have all been
put away and our friends may roam
when and where they will without fear
90 molestation. The city is theirs for
the asking. 1t seems a pity that the
season fOrbids dip i'm the lake. for
sheepmen know something about the
joys Of dipping, but there are other
things that are worth while
According TO the census figures of
1900 there were in the neighborhood of
65.0OOOOO sheep in the United States
in that year. The number must have
increased tremendously since then. for
the wool-growing industry in recent
years has been very profitable. When
we come TO consider the value Of the
animals and their Importance to our
well being, we may well take off our
hats to the sheepmen.
II takes courage TO range flocks in
some states, courage of the highest
order. But the wool-growers have
persisted i'm the face of difficulties and
their industry is one that is ranked
by only q few Of the nations indus
tries. The sheep furnishes us food
clothing, and many other necessities
Of life. The woolly animal even sup

PROTECTION FoR LEGISLATORS.

Following established republican
precedents. the federal oficeholders
and other leaders of the machine.
have taken upon themselves the d.
rection and control Of this legislature.
The member who is obstreperous and
fails TO follow the mandates of Spry
and Hull and Callister and joseph
and one or two others, may make up
his mind to be disciplined in due time.
while the meek and submissive win
be rewarded as far as is consistent
with the interests OF the machine.
An initial step in this direction was
a Misunderstanding rule introduced by
the speakers floor leader. which pro-
vided that the speaker could compel
committee TO report on any measure
by giving four days notice Herero-
fore il has been supposed that the SEN
ate and house could manage their own
affairs fairly well without advice from
outside. but now things are different
IL a bill is delayed by a committee.
the house ought to be able TO get ac-
ton on it by the simple expedient of
voting TO take II out of committee:
now that is to be accomplished by the
much simpler method Of giving the
speaker all the power belonging to the
house. The same idea carried a lit
lie further would obviate the need
Tor any legislators except a speaker
and president OF the senate.
The lobby is to be abolished. an
initiated and removed so for away
