An irate citizen says that hereafter
he wants the editors TO mind their own

plative moments, when the moon is
beaming, when the whlpperwhill sings
in the tree, when the hired man snores
in the lott. the yellow dog sleeps on the
lea, and the mosquito gets in his work
did you ever reflect in such times
upon the idea that paper containing
only accounts Of the editors own pri-
vate business would be apt 10 prove
monotonous 20 the general public ?
They might stand it for while, but in
the end il would be- thorn in the side
and WEAKNESS To the flesh. and all

body's business his business. That's
business. So there's no use making a

Prominent sheepmen Charged With

of Special Privileges.

Salt Lake City-A sensation was
sprung on the delegates to the
forty-third annual convention of the
National Woolgrowers' association In

that may develop into the most start

against influential members of a ma
tional livestock organization in this
country.
1t is charged that half dozen OF
the most influential western sheepmen
who, until recently. were bitter in
their denunciations of forest reserve
regulations and proposed federal con-
troll of western grazing lands, have
been silenced by the government
agents with promises of special graz
ing privileges for their stock during
the coming year.
