The Salt Lake Herald OF Thursday ia
Mt hand with the other tide of Judge
Eane's conduct of the Cminon polygamy
case and his charge to til cry therein.
The matter to which the !orttid chiefly
takes exception in the courts Hefusal TO
allow the accused TO show that he had not
violated the Edmunds act; that upon the
passage of that bill he had ceased TO
hold the relations of husband TO the
woman with whom he was accused of hv-
ing in contravention of the law. The gist
OF the HegaId'S complaint is that Judge
Zane strained the law with express pur-
pose to secure the conviction of Cannon.
The Judge, it says, would not have made
decision like this from the Illinois
bench; he would not have told the Illinois
man who lived under the same roof with
two women that he was unlawfullN
cohahiting with them; he would not have
denied to an Illinois man the privilege
aud right of disproving an allegation O
this kind; % butt it continues, this il
Utah and the MorInons are to be punished
if the laws are inadequate, the Judge cal
supply the deficiency from the bench.
Elsewhere the Herald asks whether Judg
Zane would prefer that the poly
gamists kill their extra wives O
ship them out of the territory
also whether it would satisfy Judge Fan
and the law if polygamists were to ca
their extra wives ''mistresses." III
effect of Judge zane's ruling, if carrie
out through the territory will be, IL
Herald declares, ''to send 5000 men
the penitentiary, after despoiling them
100000, besides lawyers fees, and
turn 5000 women and 10000 childrt
adrift upon heartless world"

The story we give elsewhere of the dis
coyery and exhumation of nearly per-
feet specimen of the Siberian mammoth
is one of great scientific interest. The
mammoth is the only mammal of pre-
historic ages that has been thus
preserved for the examination of
man. In all other remains we
have to deal with skeletons or frag-
ments of skeletons only but, after being
frozen up for perhaps thousands
of years, the mammoth has
been SO preserved that its flesh
has been eaten by dogs and wolves.
Such was the case with one discovered,
also in the ice of the Lena delta, in 1888,
by n Tungusian named Schumacher.
Knowing nothing of the value of his find
to scientists, he kept the discovery tc
himself, and, when succeeding summer!
had sufficiently thawed the ice, he cut of
and carried away the tusks of the animal
which he sold for so rubles. The rest
the carcass had no value in his eyes, excep
as food for dogs and lie and his comrades
cut off much of the flesh for this pur
pose. The wild beasts of the localit,
assisted in clearing the bones of the re
mainder. When, in 1906, u MIR. Adam
heard of and visited the carcass he foun
the mutilated skeleton and about three
fourths of the skin. The remains wer
removed to st. Petersburg, where the
are now preserved, the tusks having bee
repurchased and added to the animal.

In accordance with the request of many
readers we publish to-day the full and
correct text of the curbstone market law
as passed by the late General Assembly.
This law is now in force, and the spaces
prescribed have been marked off ON King
and Madison streets, which comprise the
farmers and truckers market. All the
spaces on King street have, we believe,
been already rented, and some of those on
Madison street. The property holders on
Madison streethaye said that they will not
require farmers and truckers to pay the
rental of 80 cents per foot which the law
allows them. By resolution of Council
the clerk of the market has been in.
structed not to mark off or rent any
spaces above Sixth street in either market
This resolution has been backed up b,
an ordinance, which it is believed will re
ceive the endorsement of the mayor
making Sixth street the northern limit o
the markets. We think our countr,
friends may as we'll make up their mind
that this ordinance is likely +
stand, at least until the Madison
street market is filled up; since tn
western side of the city is interested i
building up the latter market and til
western ward councilmen rn outvot
those from the eastern wards every timt
And really we can see no good reaso
why the Madison street market shout

that in King street. Let farmers an
truckers go there in sufficient humble
and the customers will soon follow ther
