THE SAFE WAY.

Commenting on the decision in re-
1ation to women voting at the first
state election, the Tribune, which
seems to be greatly worried over, it
makes this remark:
THAT opinion of Judge Smiths on
the woman suffrage question is very
carefully and ingeniously worded. 1t
shows too strong evidence of being
boiled down"
little lower down in the same edi
torial column it says:
AT this writing we know nothing
of the reasons presented for his con-
illusions by Judge Smith yesterday"
That is just like our morning con-
temporary. Not only does it appear
TO forget one day what it said on the
same question the day before, but
even on the same day, on the same
page, in the same column it contra
diets itself and exhibits it's chronic
infirmity. In the same article it says:
And we predict, not yet having
seen the reasons advanced by Judge
Smith, that if the Republicans carry
the territory, the president will find
an excuse to deny statehood for Utah.
That is. to withhold his proclamation
of statehood %
According to its own showing the
Tribune is able to predict something
based on an opinion which at the same
time it has not seen and yet Is able to
declare is 'fngeniously worded' and
was boiled down.
Now, what is the sensible deduction
from that prediction? Is it not that
the safest course for the people of
Utah to pursue, if they want state
hood, will be to vote the Democratic
ticket? If they vote the Republican
ticket the paper which processes to be
the great Republican light and author
ity declares that the president will
not issue his proclamation, and so
Utah will remain out of the Union and
under the disabilities of territorial
government.
Now we do not take any stock in
the predictions of our contemporary.
They are on par with its so-called
arguments. They are as reliable as
its daily ACCOMMODATIONS. We
merely call it to the attention of peo-
pie who take their political pabulum
them if it would not be better for
safetys sake to vote the Democratic
ticket and thus make sure of that po-
litical freedom which the people of
Utah long sought for under successive
Republican administrations and found

WOMEN CRIMINALS.

! The subject of executing capital pun
ishment on woman murderer has
been agitated many times. The recent
case in Georgia has excited unusual
interest. A woman was convicted of
numbering her husband and was
sentenced to death. A large number of
her own sex presented a petition to the
governor to commute the sentence, and
the petition was signed by many wo-
men of other states of the Union. On
the other hand a petition was pre-
pared, warning the governor that in
reference on his part would so oper-
ate upon public sentiment that lynch
law would be more frequently appealed
to in cases Of murder
We do not think the reasoning of the
petitioners against executive clemency
in this case is sound, or that the COVER
nor should be influenced by it in the
least degree. The clemency desired
should be withheld on other grounds.
Murder is a. capital offence and is no
better when committed by a woman
than by a man. The crime is not
changed at all by the difference in the
sex of the person committing it, The
law makes no discrimination in this
regard between the sexes. If a woman
commits wilful murder she should be
subject to the same punishment if
she were a man.
There may be something repulsive
in infiicting the full penalty of the law
upon one of the so-called tender SEX
but when a female imbrues her hands
in the blood of a fellow creature with
murderous intent and act, she divests
herself of that sanctity which is gen.
orally understood to surround a. wo-
man, and should be regarded simply
as a criminal and be treated accord
ingly.
In these days of womans rights and
woman's progress, these remarks have
stronger application than they might
have had in remoter times. Women
nowadays are endowed with so many
of the rights and privileges which per-
tain to the citizen that they may be
held to a stricter accountability before
the law.
The sentiment which would infiict
capital punishment upon a man who
Stays his wife and would withhold that
punishment upon a woman who muir
ders her husband, is unsound and
ought not to have any effect upon the
chief executive of the state or any
other officer who holds in bis hands
the pardoning power. Every case for
executive clemency should be carefully
examined and passed upon ON IFS
merits. But the question of sex should
cut no figure in its final determine
tion.

MORE QUIBBLING.

In reply to the statement of a con-
temporary that if the proclamation of
the I resident should not issue on the
ground that the provisions of the en-
abling act had not been complied
with, the people of Utah, in two
months. could hold another election,
The Herald asked the question, who
is to call it, who to conduct it and to
whom the returns will be made?" The
Tribune, which made the statement,
| in reply to these questions intimates
that The Herald is ''imbecile," says it
! is ''baby talk" that The Herald is
guilty of "quibbling" and of square
/ lying" The Tribune uses other SIM
liar arguments. but does not an
swer the question.
The fact is, that paper made a rash
assertion which is a terrible blunder
and now has neither the grace to con-
fess its mistake nor sense to stop re-
peating it. 1t INDUCES in about three
quarters of a column of verbiage on
the gist Of the question.
The enabling act provides FOR but
one election on the ratification Of the
constitution. The Tribune says the
people of Utah have IAN inherent
right to call another. That, as we
have shown, is the very opposite of
Tribune doctrine as to inherent
rights. 1t must be clear to every or
binary mind that the same power
which authorizes the election next No
vember for the ratification of the con-
stitution, would have to authorize an
other election for the same purpose.
What is the use Of our neighbours con-
tinuing to bubble" on the matter?
IN the same article it goes on to
bubble" in regard to the vote on
the question OF the right of women to
vote next November, as passed upon
by the Constitutional convention. 1t
says now:
I'VE stated the fact that nearly the
whole convention opposed it, which is
true"
Even that is entirely wrong. Here
is what the Tribune said We quote
from its original remarks on this ques-
ton in an editorial on August 18th:
1T is a mean political trick. the eff

Just see how our neighbor, which
accuses The Herald of Juggling"
twists and lodges and turns around
and darts from pillar to post on this
simple question. We do not care to
say anything further on the subject
except to repeat what the record
proves beyond question, and that is:
That with the exception of four or five,
all the Democrats in the convention
voted for it, and it matters not how
much our contemporary may deny it
or change Its proposition, or dodge the
question, it has made one more blum
der added to its long list, and there
let it stand.

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.

Japan has recently asserted the doc
trine of the right of search of Ameri-
can vessels upon the high seas. En-
gland abandoned the assertion of this
right in 1914. and it is a little late for
Japan to assert it. Her success in the
war with China has given her the ''big
head" If Japan ever meets upon the
field of battle a first-class power
great deal of the conceit will be taken
out of her. Such power is the
United States.
Just before the armistice between
China and Japan was signed, the lat
ter country asserted the right of
search of American vessels. 1t was
insisted that they had the right to
board an American vessel and take
from her, if they so chose, any Chi
nese or any other enemy they might
find, even though they were passen-
gers. Minister Dun promptly denied
the existence of any such right and
reminded the Japanese that the
United States had once gone to war
with Great Britain on just that issue.
It was also minated that the first
assertion of such right would be re-
garded by the United States as an
unfriendly act, and therefore quite
likely to lead to war. But the little
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-13

Japs persisted, and matters even went
so far that when Admiral Carpenter
was about to escort an American
merchant steamship out of a Japa
nese port, to prevent her detention by
the Japanese, the latter, it is said,
gave orders to the shore batteries at
the mouth of the harbor to fire upon
the American naval vessels if they at
tempted to do so. Happily nothing
came of it.
The sympathies of the American
people have all been with the Japa-
nese, and anything that would dis
turb the friendly relations of the two
nations is greatly to be regretted. But
Japan still adheres to the doctrine
that she has the right of search, and
should trouble in the Orient spring up,
might attempt to enforce it. Any at
tempt on her part to enforce it as
against American vessels will be re-
scented, and if she still persists will
lead to war. OF this fact Japan may
rest assured.

THE arEsr1ox IS SETTLED.

If the enabling act intended that wo-
men should vote on the constitution 1t
is a clear case that it was so fixed by
design and without the knowledge and
suspicion of the great body of Con-
gress.
That, Of course, is from our morn
ing contemporary. It is always full of
vile suspicious and ready to charge
trickery and corruption upon its OPP
ponents. That is evidence of its own
nature and what it would do If it had
the power While calling for ''clean
campaign it is Ainging mud in every
direction and endeavoring to bespatter
both friend and foe.
No one has claimed that the enabling
act shows any special intention to con-
fer upon women the right to vote on
the constitution. But the argument is,
and that is sustained by judicial de-
cision, that Congress intended that
those persons who shall be endowed
with the elective franchise by the state
constitution shall vote on the ratifica-
ton of that instrument. The express
sion used, as has been quoted many
times, is: 1.-The qualified voters of tn
proposed state shall vote directly for
or against the proposed constitution.
The meaning of that clause is
established as signifying all persons
who are made voters of the proposed
state by the proposed constitution, and
as that constitution provides that there
shall be perfect political equality Of
the sexes, and that both male and fe-
male citizens shall be voters if pos
sessing the qualifications specified, it
follows that under the enabling act
women as well as men will have the
right to vote on the constitution.
The Tribune is fond of using the
words "quibbling" and Juggling"
They are exactly fitted to designate its
own course in this matter. Because
Congress in the enabling act did not
say in SO many words that women
should be allowed to vote on the con-
stitution, that paoar makes a play on
words and endeavors to convey the
impression that Congress did not in
tend that women should he allowed to
vote at all. The term qualified voters
of the proposed state covers the en-
tire ground of all persons who are con-
stituted qualified voters by the pro-
posed state constitution. That is suf-
ficient
OF what use is it now TO spring this
question again and to intimate that
there was dark design and Intentional
trickery in the wording of the enabling
act? 1t simply shows the disposition
of our Republican clubbing cortempo-
rary and it's delight in verbal Jug

ABOUT AS mean and contemplate a
fling and slur at silver as we have seen
lately is this from the Boston Herald:
Bank failures nowadays seem to be
largely confined to Colorado. The sill
yer miners put all the blame on the
discrediting of silver by the goldbugs,
but the fault is in the silver miners
themselves, who seem to lack conf
dence in their own stability. If silver
is the precious metal that they try to
make out, it ought to inspire a larger
degree of confidence in its own dig
gings." OF the hundreds of bank fail
uras two years ago how many were in
the very strongholds of sound money"
ideas, where the word of the goldbug
on any financial question was accepted
by the people as the Ten Command
ments are accepted by Christians?

FERTILE SPRINGS CONVENTION.

The Democratic state convention at
Pertle Springs was a splendid success. 1t
was numerously attended, and the gen.
eral verdict of delegates and visitors is
that it contained more prominent and
representative Democrats of the state
than any previous state convention that
has been held in many years. It's work
was done smoothly and with practical
unanimity. 1t leaves behind it no rank
ling memories of heated debate or ruth
less action.
The platform adopted is in every way
admirable AT last Missouri Democrats
have put forth a declaration of their
views in which there is no semblance
of a straddle and witch is too explicit
to be misrepresenteu or misunderstood
The declaration was not only adopted
without opposition in the convention, but
there IS no doubt whatever that it ex-
presses the views of nine-tenths of the
Democrats of Missouri.-St. Louis Post

AND SUNDAY PAPERS.

Put as much brains into the pulpit as
there is in the Sunday newspaper and
the average man and woman will have
a desire to enjoy both. The Sunday news
paper is a time-honored institution and
cannot be put down in this age of pro-
gress and enlightenment by simple de-
nunciation. In many a home where love,
piety and purity rules it is a Welcome
visitor and the church no loser by it's
presence. Moreover, it is a mistake to
suppose that there is a wanton desecra-
ton of the Sabbath in getting out the
Sunday newspaper; the work on it is
mainly done on Saturday, the violation
of the Sabbath lying principally in the
sale. But baked beans and brown bread
are sold on Sunday with the full sanction
of the law.-Boston Courier.

country upon the evidence of return

restored and industry re-established

There is something manly in this
rejoicing and recognition of what is
taking place under Democratic tariff
measure. The Democrats of Ohio could
scarcely do better than endorse that
resolution and emphasize it. The
acknowledgement by Republicans of
the prosperity now increasing in the
country is very encouraging. And it
