LOCAL OPTION.

they PROBES

In this issue Mrs. Burnett, the ear
nest and enterprislng lady who is
working the local option movement
has a Communication taking issue with
THE HERALD We are sorry that the
lady does not present something which
will convince THE HERALD that its po-
sition is erroneous and untenable, for
we are all most anxious to be shown
some system that will be more in the
interest of temperan 20 and Of wise
public policy than high license.
We have seen prob ibition tried
when the officers were most
vigilant in the enforcement of the law,
and July four ifths of the population
were not only temperance advocates
but temperate to the degree Of total
abstinence; and yet, the police cour'
records showed that drunkenness was
as common as at other times. Il cost
the public a large proportion OF the
revenue in vain effort TO enforce pro-
hibition. We have watched the work
| ings of low license, and seen drinking
dives by the score spring into exist
ence, and grocery and drug stores
degenerate into common tipping
saloons. And We have seen high
license, where the saloons were
reduced IN number and elevated in
"tone" or character or responsibility, if
these words may be applied to them
and we must confess that there was less
intemperance under high license than
under any other system, and the saloon
evil was less offensive.
We should look at this thing as il is
and not as we would like to have it. Lei
US not permit sentiment to blind reason
If prohibition were possible. whatever
the cost The HERALD would favor it; bu
as, in our opinion, it is OF possible, W.
cannot see the wisdom of wasting energy
and money in an idle attempt Il
enforce it.
We cannot believe that Mrs. Burnett
meant what she wrote when she penne'
that "While the license system con
tinues without any local option feature
it (Utah) must rank among the wors
rum-cursed sections of our country.
If she did mean it she is .too intemper
ate to consistently labor in the cause O
temperance, for outside of the mimi
camps and two or three cities, Utah
SO far from being the worst rum
cursed section, that the absence {
rum and rum shops is the admiratio
of temperance people everywhere.

THE House Committee on Judiciary,
through it's chairman, CIlberson, has
reported joint resolution for Con-
situtlonal amendment prohibiting
polygamy in the United States. Po-
lygamy is defined to be the marriage
relation by contract or i'll fact existing
at the same time between one person OF
either sex and more than one person OF
the other sex. Will it now be in order
to ask Chairman Culberson and mem
bers of his committee are sincere and
in earnest ia this matter, or are they
playing trick to deceive? Perhaps ii
will be we'll to suggest that the gentle
men be placed on probation for a time,
until they shall demonstrate by their
conduct whether or not they mean what
they profess. SIS.

PROPOSED SCHOOL LAW.

A hasty examination of the school
bill introduced in the House, the other
day, by Mr.. Allen, inciine3 The HERALD
to the opinion that it Is al excellent
measure, and that its ENACTMENT into
law will be advantageous to the youth
of this Territory. It's pretty generally
conceded, after q thoroughly practical
test. that our present school law is any
thing but q success. 1t is not failure,
il is true, but it is weak, vague and in
definite, and does not accomplish what
it was hoped it would do when 1t was
framed, The best evidence of its weak
ness, if not failure. is the fact that only
a comparatively small percentage of
the children of school age are attend
ants tof the district schools, while pri-
yate schools are, as q rule, full and
more or less prosperous. This is
not due to inferior teachers, as
we are assured by those familiar
with the facts that the district school
teachers are nothing behind those in
the private and mission schools as in
structors. The figures show that in
Salt Lake County, the most populous in
the Territory, onlg about 81 per cent of
the children between and IS years, are
enrolled in the district schools. In oue
of the city d stricts the seating capa-
city of the school rooms, taxed ito the
utmost, is barely sufficient to accom-
modate 30 per cent. of the children Of
school age. In other districts half the
children, perhaps, may be crowded intt
the school rooms.
We are not mentioning these things
for the purpose of directly or Indirect.
rejecting on anybody, but solely Wit
the view to correcting what must b
conceded is an evil, and in the hope c
melting 10 an improvement.
Mr.. Aliens bill is generally base
upon the present law; that is to say
the system now in operation is mad
the foundation of the propose
law which simply goes further an
makes plain and operative the doubt
full and weak provisions of the existin
statute. In ono respect, however, ther
is a radical departure, and that is in th
provision which it makes fc
free schools. There has bee
more or less op eosition to FIRE
schools, thu opposition arising partl
from the belief that the communit
was not financially able to suppol
them, aud partly from the impressio
that they re not desirable. as to tt
latter OBJECTION, we need only remar
that this is free school age al
America is q free school nation. As
the first mentioned objection, whatey'
may have been the financial couditio

RICH LICENS T..

As hearing on a question of pubic
interest locally, it may be well TO s'a e
tn the official statistics relative to the
working of the high license law IT. Hi
nois SHOW that the law is ninently
successful. In Chicago in 1881 there
were 3 6O3 licenses issued, she fee being
SIS and the revenue $50, 226. In 1887
3 $50 we're issued at $500 each, from
which the city derived revenue OF
81. 912 Cpl. Tie increase III the number
of licenses for five years wss only IS
although the population has increased
during that period from 500 COO to
500 900. All unlicensed places have
been closed by the law, and the pro-
portion of saloons to population has
deceased from in 102 to in 22S. The
figures show that In five years, under
high license, the actual number OF
saloons to-day is less by 967 what it
would have been under the natura!
grow h of low license. The liquor
traffic in Chicago is under brtter con-
troll than ever before, and the character
of the saloons is more respectable than
when any fellow with SOS to pay the
license fee and q jug OF cheap could open
a gin-mill. Furthermore, the people
who drink whisky are now required TO
pay the public the expense to which 1t
is put by those who drink.

of the public in the past, poverty can
not be pleaded now, at least as to sey-
eral of the more populous counties.
Furthermore it will cost less to support
free schools by public taxation than
to maintain private schools. AS
we understand Mr.. Aliens bill
it continues the Territorial tax OF
mills for schools, this money to be dis
tributed as at present among the sew
eral counties, pro rata according t..
school attendance. 1t is provided, h ~.
