PROMOTION OF PUBLIC MORALITY.

Public morality is a term frequent
ly in use, and it serves the purpose of
public prosecutors when they urge the
necessity of Furnishing nalefactors, and
of persons who wish to suppress such
action in certain cases. Public morality
ought to be promoted by every rational
means and that is one of the objects
held in view by the law.
But there can be no public morality
without private and personal morality
There may be great outward pretence
and stimulation of purity, but unless
there is the chastity of the individual
members of society, surface society
morality will be only a vanished sham
and hollow hypocrisy.
Whether the exposure and public re-
probation of persons guilty of i'm
morality tends to restrict wrong and
prevent its frequent occurrence, or that
its concealment from the public know
ledge and comment would not rather
promote a high condition of public
morality is an open question.
Much might be urged on both sides
of this as an abstract proposition. But
this is a practical age, a day of news
papers, OF quick communication, of in
vestigation and familiarity with both
good and evil The innocence of wrong
which was supposed to exist among
young people, particularly those of the
tender sex, hundred years ago is GER
tainly not now, whatever it might have
been then, prevalent reality.
Boys and girls as we'll as the general
public know a great deal more now

RE-TRIALs AFTER Aoau1rrA1

The decision of the Connecticut SUI
preme' court in ordering a re-trial of a
man who had been tried for murder
and acquitted by a jury, is remarkable.
The opinion was unanimous and of
course was not given without the great
est consideration and maturest delib-
Grafton, nor can any thorough review
of it be made without a study of the
text, a thing the dispatches do not
give.
1t is said the main argument in sup
port of the decision was that the old
English common law was so crude
that judges then did wisely in holding
that an accused person, after jury ac-
quittal, could not be put in jeopardy a
second time. The law that was then so
crude and whose crudeness justified
the doctrine that there could be no
trial after a jury acquittal, is the one
that has determined the Anglo-SaNon
people in their ideas of Justice. so far
as people accused of crime are concern
ed, ever since. Many things that OBJ
tain in our Jurisprudence are crude
when considered in the abstract But
these crudities are very largely rec
ognition of the characteristics Of hum
an nature. The determination of the
facts in a case by a jury is in reality
a. crudity; has any better method of
determining them been discovered?
They must be determined by some one.

TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

In the Presidents message he IN
dorsed the recommendations of the sec
rotary of the interior that adequate
protection be provided for THE forest
reserves and that a comprehensive for
estry system be dnaugIrated.
In no other country have the forests
been subjected to the same waste as
| in the United States. In early times
the waste was not SO marked and from
the paucity of inhabitants was not SO
great. But the country has grown SO
in population, every part has been so
thoroughly explored and more or less
settled that early conditions have
changed. Then, too, the facilities of
all kind for numbering have SO greatly
increased that the necessity for pre-
serving the forests has become more
or less urgent.
In this territory the denuding of the
mountains of their timber has had a
tendency to lessen the supply of water
for irrigating purposes. This is very
natural because the cutting down Of
the trees exposes the snow to the rays
of the sun, which causes it to melt
rapidly and run off. Even in those
sections of the country where there is
no irrigation of land the same result
follows with regard to the rapid melt
ing of the snow and sudden rise of
waters. The preservation of the for
ests does not mean the prohibition of
the cutting of timber but it's proper
regulation. To this no one can object.
In the bill introduced to further the
policy of the secretary of the inte-
rior western interests will be well
guarded through amendments TO be Of
fered by western Congressman. Among
them is one that prospectors and min
eral claimants are to have access to
the forest reserves for the purpose of
prospecting, locating and developing
their mineral resources.
The subject is one that needs care
full consideration, and will no doubt
receive it. But there is one thing that
has tended to the destl uction of the
timber lands of the country; that has
been the unwise policy pursued of plac-
ing a protective duty upon lumber 1t
has been an encouragement, to the very
thing that it is now sought to remedy.
This policy has been changed and lum-
Der is upon the free list, and the con-
sequence of it will be that lumber will
come down in price and the des|truc-
ton of our native forests will be
checked. two most desirable things.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-12-09

Shall this be by the court Or the jury |?
There is no perfect way of determining
what the facts are for the very reason
that they are disputed. They cannot
be tested as the chemist tests things
sn his laboratory
The conservatism that retains the
system Of trial by jury retains in our
system OF Jurisprudence the doctrine
that man shall not be put in jeopardy
twice for the same offense. No doubt
there are miscarriages of Justice
through adherence to this doctrine.
But the question is, Would there not
be more miscarriages Of justice by its
abandonment? All criminal laws are
an attempt to deal with the frailties
ard defects of human nature, no mat
I ter from what cause arising. The aims
Of legislation is to ascertain the best
methods Of accomplishing this, and the
experience of those countries adopting
tine English theory and system of law
Is that there should be no second trial
of a person once acquitted of crime
by a jury, is one of these methods. 1t
may be that modern experience is
teaching that this method is not wise
in securing the ends of justice That
a system Is old is not of itself valid
reason for considering any suggested re-
lection or modification of 1t. That it is
Old and is still in use is an evidence of
It's wisdom. AS time goes on all things
change. systems Of laws and jurispru-
dence among them. and possibly the
time-honored custom that a man shall
not be retired for the same offsnse af-
ter an acquittal by a jury. 1t IS evil
dent that the Supreme court of Con
necticut has arrived at the conclusion
that the time for change has come in
this same custom.

cation of the particulars of every case
! that comes to light
Public morality will not be promoted
by turning the light on prurient de-
tails of criminal conduct nor by expos
ing every person guilty of unvirtuous
acts. When males or females are con-
victed of public offences. their punish
ment should be made known as a warn
ing to others to abstain from similar
violations of law and decency. The pub
LEGATION of crimes therefore is right, but
should be, kept within prudent limits.
| Thecraving to learn the names of
persons guilty of the offence recently

and the endeavor to keep them secret,

nary though not unnatural. The
very efforts made to conceal the
| identity of the parties have
stimulated public curiosity, and
have led to more discussion of the Of
fence than is good for people to engage
in with such zest and persistency.
There may be exceptions to therule,
but it appears to be for the best in
terests of society that offences like
that which has become a topic of popu-

to take their regular legal course. By

Public morality will best be pro-
NOTED by an impartial enforcement of
the law. And when discretion is to be
exercised in reference to different cases,
that discretion should only be used by
officers and bodies in whom it is vested
by law. Executive officers charged only
with the enforcement of the law must
not assume judicial functions. The
vigorous, speedy and impartial execu-
ton of the laws against vice and crime
is the consistent course, and will be
found necessary for the preservation and
promotion of public morality.

! Christmas Tale of the wasatch.
BY ALFRED, LAMBouRNE.
by Hiram Putnam Barnes,
Casino, Bcston.]

s-ts Fl * casino, 6CSCOilI
This is. a second edition of Mr.. Lam
bournes charming Christmas tale, and
a very sumptuous edition it is. The
book is not large, but it is superbly
Illustrated, and the binding, paper and
press work are of the very finest. Mr..
Barnes, the celebrated illustrator, is a
veteran at his work, having furnished
pictorial Accomplishments to five edi-
tions of Tennysot1's Idyls of the King,
Hawtlorne's Scarlet Letter, and other
noted works. In this book ,he has
caught the spirit of the author, and
the five full-page plates and its
forty-f1ve pen drawings interspersed
through the work are very beautiful
and also dramatic, when the subject
matter so requires 1t is a pleasure
to see text and pictures so perfectly
in harmony. Mr.. Lambourne's work
in this book has. already won a place
in many hearts. The beauties of the
Wasatch mountains has given him a
rare opportunity for fine descriptive
writing, and of this he has. availed
himself to the utmost. The grandeur
of the mountain tops, the loneliness
of the hidden lake, the beauty of the
wild flowers, the shifting light of
morning, noon and eve, and the
changes wrought by the seasons. have
all been lovingly told. and the re-
suit is a. series of exquisite pen pic
lures.
We give here an example of its de-
scriptive paragraphs:
The golden autumnal days were sud-
denly ended. With shrilly notes No
vember's wind piped loud, rushing
through the mountain hollows and
heaping up the fallen leaves into
or driving them fiercely onward into
the pale, swollen torrents. Cold,
drenching rains descended in the can
yon below us, but under the billowy
folds of leaden-hued clouds the noun
tains tops around our dwelling grew
white apace. Day after day, night
after night, the snow was waited
down. Swirled by the furious wind
from exposed heights into the ravines
below, or drifted in vast combs along
the winding crests; piled up until the
more, and, poised above us, the avail
anche made ready for it's awful
plunge.
1t is, however, in the human part
of this unique and original tale that
the author will feel most pride and the
reader most interest. Hope, fear, des-
pair, love and joy are intermingled.
The plot, though simple, is ingenious,
and keeps attention alive from first to
last. The terrors of the avalanche;
the hardships of the prospector's life;
the fervid excitement in which he
works, and his emotions when success
crowns his toll, are dweIt upon, and
the whole book may be said to be
glimpse into the rich romance of
western mining life
Mr.. Lambourne's ability as a knight
of the brush is we'll known to the Utah
public; his fame as a knight of the
quill will spread wherever this excep-
tionally interesting and elegantly
equipped book shall circulate. We cor
daily recommend it to our readers as
a splendid Christmas present as well
as literary and artistic gem.
