THE AGE OF CONSENT.

A bill is now pending in the Idaho
Legislature, raising the age of con-
sent, and the Boise Statesman very
Isagely says:
''The bill raising the age Of consent
is one that should be passed 1t is
stigma upon any state to declare, by
statutory enactment, that a girl,
While yet child, can legally consent
to her own ruin. The law fixes the
age of maturity for all other purposes
at Is, it being the theory that a girl
while yet younger than that is not
capable Of protecting her rights
against the SHARES of the world She
cannot, under IS, deed away property
because her youth and experience
might cause her to be victimized: but
the law by strange contrariety, as
Sumes that at IA she is capable of de-
Gliding to sacrifice her honor which is
tar more valuable to her than anv
property she may be heir to. The
only argument ever advanced against
raising the age of consent is that men
might be inveigled and then black
mailed by abandoned girls under the
age. Certainly the man who is will
ing to be inyeigled should be left to
take the consequences. Manly men
will not seek to protect rakes at the
expense of innocence"
This is a delicate subject, but is
one that must be publicly discussed
because it is matter of legislation.
Every possible safeguard should be
placed around the weaker sex that
they may be protected against the APP
proaches and assaults of Ilcentious
men. While it is true that there are
occasionally abandoned girls of i'm
mature age who might take advantage
lof the law in it's improved form as
proposed, the rule is that the male is
the primal cause of the fall of woman,
and man can protect himself always
against the Wiles of the wicked fe-
male. IF he does not he should take
the consequences. The Idaho legisla-
ture ought to make the change in the
law that is demanded, if that body
can close the conflict over the United
States Senatorship and get down to
the business for which II was oonsti-
|tuted

THE 'NE4vs" IN A FIX.

The Deseret Evening News has
placed itself in false position and
tries to get out of 1t by deliberately
classifying The Herald. We do not pro-
pose to be placed in a false position by
that paper, nor to be turned aside with
a jest which enbodies an untruth.
The News undertook to attack some
thing which it evidently had not fully
considered and to cast imputations on
the City Council which were SANDER
Gus and undeserved. The Herald ex-
planned the matter. and instead of cor
.recting the error, the News replied in
Ia petulant and rantankerous spirit,
and ignored the main question.
The News first wanted the city to
make IAN absolute purchase such as is
allowed any private Individual That
was its language in reference to the
watershed lands. The Herald showed
that the conditions required of the city
were just the same as those demanded
lof any private individual. The News

Mr.. Gerstenberg Rc.sdsts an Order for
Its Slaug hter.
Ernest Gerstenberg, proprietor Of the
saloon and restaurant on E street near
Fourteenth street, was tried in the police
court before Judge Scott to-day with
keeping a biting dog, Roy. Foose, white
he wsboy, being the complainant. The
dog in question was a brindle bull pup.
and the boy testified that he was bitten
by the dog on the 10th of the month, and
had the injuries dressed at the Emergency
Hospital.
Judge Scott said that the evidence was
very plain that the boy had been bitten
by the dog, and he thought any dog that
was of a vicious nature Fhould be killed.
He therefore ordered that the dog be killed.
Mr.. Sillers objected ON the ground that
the Commissioners have no right to make
a regulation disposing in such q manner
of anyone's personal property, but Mr..
Pugh declared that such was the penalty
always imposed in such cases.
"You can either turn the dog over to the
poundmaster," he said to the defendant,
"or the officer here will kill the dog him.
SELF
'If your honor please said Mr.. Sell
iers, I've announce that we will not per.
nit any officer OF the government to kill
the dog"
The defendant thereupon left the court
with his attorney, and the case viii be
carried to higher court in order to decide
whether or not the Commissioners havs.
the right to make such a regulation.

FIELDS APPEARS In COURT
he Makes a Statement Regarding
His Troubles.
Transaction Respecting the Check for
$97O Explained and All Intent
of Fraud Disclaimed.

Mr.. Thomas N. Fields made an open
statement in court to-day Of the manner
in which he drew S97O from the Central
National Bank ON a check given tu himself
and Charles F. BENJAMIN as cotrustees.
He was alleged to have frauduleDty
drawn the sum. He left the city at the
time, but returned short while later.
A few days before his departure from
this city, Mr.. Fields said Mr.. Benjamin
drew an order ON the SCentral National
Bank TO the order of j. X. Young, clerk of
the court, for S117.50. Fields signed it
whe SnBenjamin sent it TO him. Mr.. Young
later informed Mr.. Fields that the check
was returned unpaid.
Fields paid il out of his own pocket, he
said, and then took it to Mr. Benjamin.
The latter said he had made a mistake
between the balance In a trust fund and
the check of an ovcrdraft OF $50. He gave
Fields check for the trustees balance
and agreed that the difference between
ti;e balance and the check the petitioner
had taken up be deducted from the 500
and be refunded to Fields.
After he received the note and check
from one Mr.. Linger, Mr.. Fields said, he
endorsed the check To the order of the clerk,
The check was payable on its face to us as
