What the Mountain Ogre Saws.

A friend of mine. of very nervous
temperament, who lives on Twenty
seventh street uptown. has a young
hopeful, who has the exaSperating
habit OF asking countless puzzllng
questions that illustrate the old max.
i'm, that fool can BATTLE wise man,
The other night it seemed as if some
nemesis had set the youngSter on TO
make his tired father more than ord
inarily uncomfortable He asked
questions such as, what made the
light come in the lamp; what made
the bald spot on his head; what dis
ease the Dead Sea died of. and finally
the parent slapped him and sent him
to bed. When he had returned to the
parlor and tried to read the afternoon
paper, however. the little fellows sobS
touched his heart and he returned to
the boys room. Tommy he said.
You can ask just one more question
and then you must go TO sleep" "
Pa, said he. how far can a cat
spit?"

WHY NOT TEST THE BOYCOTT
IN OGDEN.

Samuel Gompers and his colleagues,
who disregarded the courts injunc-
lion in the case OF the Buck Range
6 Stove company and were held to
be in contempt of court, are facing
the doors Of the jail in Washington.
No decision rendered by a court In
years has had such a disturbing eff
feet in labor circles as this one
There is but one thing for the la
boring men to do and that is retaliate
by forcing every trust In the country
TO cease to boycott, intimidate or
coerce, or send the heads of those
predatory organizations to jail.
II 1t is good law TO throw labor lead
ers IN prison for having advocated,
encouraged OF in any way abetted 4
boycott. then to continue to be good
law, the hand Of justice must rest as
heavily on those who, being within a
trust, would boycott all outside of
their particular trust
1t has been shown that our local gro-
GERS trust has practiced the boycott
at least has used coercive and intim-
idatlng measures to force independent
grocers TO enter the combine. Now
the labor unions, IN self-protection.

yet they did not go so far as to threat
en- any one with direct injury. as that
would have been an undisguised boy
colt. For that open advocacy of what
they deemed to be the right of free
speech, Gompers and his associates
we're sentenced. If Gompers and the
other labor leaders have acted In vio-
lation of law By merely Offering ad-
vice. In what category of law-breakers

Instead Of the laboring men through
out the country striking I'm protest
against the inflicting of this punish

The board of control for the Forty,

mittees needed in prosecuting the
work of arranging for and handling,

this city in January.

of the convention being held here.
except In the benefits that come from
the things done by these conventions
regarding the sheep interests. are
contributing literally 10 the success
OF the enterprise. They are not only
furnishing a good deal Of money TO
aid in making arrangements for the
convention, but they propose to spend
considerable money during the time
of the convention in the entertain
ment of the visiting delegates and
others.
The managers of the affair express
the belief that the businessmen gen.
orally will appreciate the importance
OF the convention, and will readily
realize the direct benefits TO be de
rived from the visit OF the sheepmen
here. and Will contribute literally
TO fund which shall be used TO de,
fray the necessary expenses of the
convention and sheep show. 1t Will re-
quire about $4,000 to defray the
necessary expenses. aside from the
expense of furnishing incidental Ell.
tertainment to the visitors
An interesting feature OF every
Wool Growers convention that has
been held in the history of the organ
ization, has been a boxing contest by
men taken from the higher ranks Of
rinGmen. and the managers anticipate
that the Ogden convention will be
privileged 10 witness one OF the best
contests yet given. OF course. there
is a strong probability of securing the
Jefries-Johnson bout. but IL ogden is
outbid for that contest, another of ma
tional importance VIII be arranged
for The board of control hopes that
the spirit of hospitality will prevail
in the city at the time of the con.
vention, as II has always prevailed in
Ogden, and that the keys of the town
will be delivered to the visitors that
they may enjoy themselves.
The committees appointed to look
after the different phases of the con
yentlon work arc as follows,
