A Remarkable Blunder.

The HERALD drew attention a few days
ago to the crimes OF infanticide and abor-
tionwhich recently have been committed
inthis city. The number of these cases, it
is true, is not to be compared with that of
many other cities in this country, but it
is sufficient to cause a feeling of horror in
well ordered minds, and to warrant allu
sion to it by the press, though the sub
iect is not a pleasant one to handle.
Since then a coroner's jury has sat
upon a case and a strange verdict
has been rendered. The infant
whose body was found was declared to
be "a victim of willfuI murder, at
the hands OF some person or persons IN
known" The jury went on to recon-
mend s'some action be taken by our leg
islature looking to the enactment of law
providing for some punishment of the
parties guilty of such criminal prac-
tices.'' This was predicated on the ex-
traordinary statement that ''there is no
authority in the statutes of our Territory
in the way OF dealing with such cases.
This is tantamount to saying there is
no law in Utah against wilful murder 1t
cannot be possible that anybody in his
senses living here is ignorant of the laws
in regard to homicide? There have always
been provisions in our statutes against
the unlawful taking OF human life and
the penalty for wilful murder is death.
Perhaps the jury were muddled in their
minds as to the nature OF the crime com
mitted, though they called it "wilfui
murder' If they meant abortion-as
the infant was prematurely born-they
should have said SO. But even then they
would have been equally wrong. Sec
ton 1907 OF the Laws OF Utah, compila-
ton of 1888, makes that crime punish
able by Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for not less than two nor more than
ten years. If they meant infanticide,
that is murder in our statutes and the
full penalty is provided to meet every
possible case.
Juries come under the censure, or the
ridicule of the press, for the pc
culiar verdicts they somestimes rem
der. We have no disposition to
indulge in any sarcasm or faultfnding
with this particular jury. But we do not
think it right that such an extraordinary
blunder in relation to the laws of this
territory should go out to the world I'M
contradicted.
We are OF the opinion that greater vigil
lance on the part of those officers whose
duty it is to prosecute for crime and make
arrests Of criminals, would result in the
detection of the guilty parties in these
instances. And we are of the opinion
that if there was sufficient desire TO trace
them up, means would be found to liq-
uidate the expense.

AS THE result OF yesterdays and last
nights conferences between the trustees
of the copper refinery fund and Mr.. S. M.
GREEN and associates, a contract was
drawn up which Mr.. GREEN agreed to sign.
The document is said to be altogether sat-
isfactory to the trustees, and if suchis the
case it viii probably be SO to the subscri-
bers. TIE HERALD, which gave every en-
enlargement to the project from the start,
has been only interested in seeing that the
city should get what it was bargaining
for. We thought it no more than right
that Salt Lake should have a proportion
ate benefit on its bonus Of any reduction
in the cost of the works from the original
estimates. and it is satisfied with the re-
suit of its Iabors, SO far.

THE RECENT decision Of the United
States Supreme Court upholding the
right of city to levy a tax upon tele-
graph poles, was on the ground that the
tax was rental charged for the use Of the
public streets, and that the city had as
much right to charge such rental as for
the use of room in the city hail." The
decision viii have a tendency to cause the
company to reduce the number of its
poles. and may eventually result in plac-
ing the wires under ground. Young
cities like Salt Lake are much interested
in such questions, and it behooves those
who look after municipal interests 10 con-

n HIGH and prosperous social state is
~ possible only to people whose per-
sonai makeup (mental, moral and phy-
sical) is such as to secure effective COOP
Grafton in all undertakings that require
associated action, without encroachment
on the natural right OF the individual to
independent and unrestricted exercise in
any and all activities not prejudicial to
other individuals nor hurtful to the gem
eral public. Thus and only thus can
there be a reasonable hope OF that ''survi-
val OF the fittiest'' which has ever been
natures sole road to racial perfection.
1t is to invention that society is in
debted for the refnements of modern life;
for food for clothing; and for the
means of flashing the voice to a listener
in distant city, and catching the fugi-
tive tremuious tones and storing them
away for the delectation OF generations
yet unborn; for locomotion by land, by
sea, and even through the circumam-
bent air; for all the treasures of mind in
all the ages; for the angelic in form and
feature; for the gift OF soothing with

the end is not yet; it is well that the
world should bow down to the might OF
invention.
Just how much the world is indebted
to Dr.. c. z. Hale, OF st. Paul, for his
famous method for "painless flling'' is
not yet realized, but the fact is becoming
more and more pronounced as the weeks
roll by, that in order to be successful in
practice, the dentist of to-day must have
"method" by which he can operate
without his patients.
SO far as is yet known, DR.. Hale has
discovered the only absolutely painless
method for filing teeth, and conse-
quently his parlors, and those of the den
fists who have secured the right to oper-
ate his famous method are beseiged with
patients; for 1t stands to reason that
people are not willing to receive unneces-
sary punishment at the hands of dentists
who will insist upon using the old barbar-
ious methods OF dentistry.

Street Car Courtesy.

True politeness consists in regard for
the comfort, convenience and feelings of
others. A really selfish person cannot be
truly polite. That conduct which 1t is
desirable to see general in society must be
reciprocal, or it will not increase among
men. Each sex and every person must
have some regard for the welfare of other
people, or politeness will become weari-
some, and the best Of folks will have to
change their manners occasionally in self
defence.
Our street cars are frequently crowded
in an uncomfortable manner. We are
glad to say that as rule, men in this
city are chivalrous to the other sex and
rarely allow ladies to stand if they can
offer them a seat. That is all right
and to be commended. But how is it
with the women? Many of them
receive these favors politely. Others
exhibit bad breeding by taking as right
that which is truly courtesy. Women,
well dressed, often enter car with an air
of hauteur, and if some man does not in
stantly vacate seat, will glare with a
scornful manner at the male occupants as
though an insult had been offered to their
high mightiness, and they take prof
fered seat without bow or ''thank-
you"
Another breach OF car courtesy often

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND, speaking
of the inconsequence of personalities in
American politics, and the influence of
Mr.. CLEVELAND in cleansing the old
puritanism which delved in minor issues
for traces of sin, says:
Unusually clean in making no per-
sonal points upon his antagonism, he
has disposed for long time to come OF
that babyish search, in all our former
campaigns, for slight and personal mis-
siles to throw out the public champion.
Nor does it seem that his injuries upon
this score have regulated his utterances,
for, looking back at his speeches when
mayor of Buffalo and during all his three
endeavors to be president, he set the tone
of the discussion high, and in no case
that 1 remember even answered the
speech of the man who was running
against him.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-12

made By women is to stand just inside the
car door and wait for two or three men
to get up for their accommodation, when
seats are vacant ahead. There is no OBJ
lection to gentlemen who choose to do so
arising and moving forward for the ac-
commodation of ladies'. tits the evident
intent of such women to make stir for
their benefit that is open to criticism.
They prefer to discommode others and
will hang on to a strap till some gentle-
man moves for them, rather than notice a
seat which they might take without any
disturbance.
Women will often take up SO much
room in car as to crowd others to stand
ing places instead of moving closer to-
gether for some OF their own sex. They
would rather that men should get up and
give others what they pay for than incon-
yenience themselves in the slightest de-
gree. How seldom do women move when
there is plenty of space to spare to accom-
modate man with a seat!
If ladies expect gentlemen to be polite
they should be polite themselves. Cour-
tesy should be mutual, or it will not con-
tinue all on one side. In the east it is
almost ''played out, i" for the reasons we
have named and others, and gentleman
is often known in a street car to be "from
the west" because of his readiness always
to give a lady seat.
In the WomaR's Exponent of a recent
date there is an article entitled ''Passing
Thoughts which contains some good
common sense remarks on this subject. 1t
is written by a lady and therefore should
receive particular attention from ladies.
''Camelia'' speaks of the tired laborer
who after days toll is riding home on
Car and when some lady who perhaps
has been out for pleasure steps in, feels
that, weary as he is, he must stand to
give her a seat. Perhaps she has been
sitting for an hour or two in the store
and the clerk who waited upon her while
she turned over the goods indifferently
without buying, and who has been on
his feet all day, may be resting in that
car and must arise to give her the seat he
has paid for.
The little child, too, who has paid for
seat is expected to turn out as soon as a
grown woman enters car where there
are no seats vacant This, ''Camelia"
thinks, is all wrong. For the aged and
inflrm, whether male or female. the sick
and mothers with babes, she has full
sympathy, but thinks that weary men
ought to have some regard paid to them
and that late corners into cars ought not
to exact a seat from tired man OF child
simply because of their sex. This is not
her language but some of her sentiments.
Ladies, will you not think of some Of
these things, and learn to be mindful Ct
the rights and feelings of others, even
though they are men, and thus learn a
lesson in car courtesy.

THERE WAS military ball at Lathonia,
Ca, on the night OF the7th. The church
people sought an injunction against it.
In rendering his decision the judge of the
superior court said:
1t viii not be proper for me to interfere
at this date as the ball is to come off to-
morrow night. The young ladies have
gone to a great deal of trouble in prepar-
Ing their new dresses with all the fancy
fxings and the young men have bought

REVIEW OF REVIEWS.
The March number has for it's frontis-
piece magnificent portrait of Mr.. La
mar. Elsewhere it has on full page the
finest of all the portraits that ever ap-
peared OF Phillips Brooks. Three differ
ent portraits OF Mr.. Blaine, one of Hayes
and his cabinet, and various ones OF But
Ter, Lamar and Hayes, accompan Profess
-sor Judson's article on recent American
politics. There are interesting portraits
in connection with the discussion of Ha-
waiian affairs and also number accom-
panying the article on England in Egypt.
Very noteworthy is the strong full-page
group of the Hawaiian commissioners,
the best that has appeared. The most in
teresting of all the present portraits Of
the aged Count Ferdinand de
Lesseps, is given, full length
standing portrait. The caricature history
of the month is particularly attractive in
this number. Seven pages are given to
the reproduction of something like thirty
cartoons from Canadian, American, Mex
lean, English. French, German, Italian
and Austrian periodicals. Most curions
OF all is the page devoted to reproduce
tions of Mexican cartoons, indicat-
ing as it does the feeling among certain
elements in Mexico against the growth of
the influence of the United States south of
the Rio Grande.
