CITIZENSHIP OF WOMEN.

There are many questions arising
in reference to the voting by women
at the approaching election Apart
bility, under the constitution and the
terms of the enabling act, to pan tici-
pate in the first state election, there
are doubts entertained as to the
status of women who have never been
naturalized. Following are two ques-
toms that come from Grand County:
Are women born in the British
Islands, without naturalization pa
pers, legally qualified 70 be enrolled
in the Blue Book?'
Are foreign born women married to
men that are citizens of the United
States, legally qualified to register?"
cor in other words, must wo-
man possess the requisite Qualiiica-
tons of citizenship, age, residence,
etc, independent of the status of
her husband?"
In answer to the first question, we
will say that it does not matter where
women who are aliens We're born,
they are not entitled to be regis
tered and to vote at any election in
the State of Utah. Unless they have
become citizens either by naturaliza-
ton or by marriage to a citizen, or by
virtue of being children of persons
who became citizens before the chill
dren were twenty-one years of age,
they are not entitled to register and
vote, because they have to take an
oath that they are citizens of the
United States.
To the second question we reply:
The laws of the United States pro-
vide that, "any woman who is mar
ried to citizen of the United States,
and who might herself be lawfully
naturalized, shall be deemed a citi-
zen" A foreign born woman who
is twenty-one years of age and who
is married to a citizen may be reg
istered if she has the residence pro-
vided for by statute.
Every woman who was born in the
United States is a citizen in her own
right just as much as a male citi-
zen. Every foreign born woman may
be naturalized on the same terms as
are required of male aliens. Every
woman in Utah who is not a citi-
zen should become a citizen if she
intends ito make her home in the
United States. Every woman citizen
should register, now the opportunity
is afforded, and should cast her vote
according to her honest convictions,
next November, if the courts do not
decide to the contrary.

Republican protection, is equivalent to
declaring that black is white and that
sunlight is the depth of darkness.
In reforming the tariff the Demo-
cratic party endeavored to effect a re-
turn in some degree to the policy of
those grand old Democrats who are
venerated as the fathers of Democracy
in the United States. 1t was but
small step in that direction, but it
viii prepare the way for further steps
when the time shall come that the
country is prepared for them. It was
all that could be safely accomplished
at the time. If it was protection"
why do the Republicans fight it and
talk about endeavoring to repeal it?
IF, as claimed by some of them, it
contains more protection than Repub-
licans demanded a short time ago,
why is it not good enough for them
and why do they not approve of it and
feel glad at its operations?
The fact is, our Republican contem-
poraries which indulge in these con-
Trajectory opinions and assertions are
in quandary. They fear to raise the
tariff issue again, and they do not like
to acknowledge that the revenue bill
we now have is satisfactory and suited
to the times. They had better let
the tariff question alone

THE RATES ALL RIGHT.

A furry of excitement was raised a
few days ago by the announcement in
an evening paper that the Southern
Pacific railroad had made a schedule
of rates which favored Ogden and
other points and Disseminated against
Salt Lake. The Herald has taken
pains to investigate the matter fully,
and the result will be seen in an ar
ticle which appears in another part
Of this paper. Salt Lake is all right.
There need be no apprehension on the
part Of jobbers and shippers or the
public generally. This city will not be
placed at any disadvantage by the
rates that have been arranged. The
enterprise of The Herald in obtaining
exclusive information on this impor-
tant matter, we have no doubt will be
duly appreciated by the business and
reading public.

THE ALMY EXPLOSION CASE.

1t is matter of great regret that
the endeavors of the attorneys. acting
in behalf of the widows suffering from
the great calamity at Almy, Wyo.,
have not been able to effect a satisfac-
| tory arrangement with the Rocky
Mountain Coal and Iron company for
the damages arising from that terrible
disaster. The result of the disagree
ment is that a suit has been filed in
the Third district court at Evanston,
with a claim for $40, 900 in each case,
the whole amont of the claim reaching
to no less sum than $1,2O0,0OO.
If the company had been willing to
settle on a basis of $4,000 for each
death from the explosion, the matter
would have been so compromised and
settled. This. however, the company
was not willing to accede to. 1t took
the ground that it was not responsible
for the accident, and, therefore, could
not be compelled to pay any amount
for damages, but the company was
willing to pay a small amount, com
paratively, to each of the widows as
free gift in the spirit of benevolence
without admitting any obligation.
If this litigation continues it will
probably be a long time before the
afflicted people who are deprived of
their visible means of support will re-
cover anything from the company.
They will no doubt obtain a verdict,
with larger amount by way of dam
ages than they claimed at first, but
not perhaps as large as that now sued
for. Whatever this may be the likeli-
hood is that the case will go to the
court of last resort for final settlement,
unless meanwhile some satisfactory
compromise can be arranged between
the parties
In our opinion those poor people who
have been bereaved of their dear ones
through the awful calamity at Amy,
ought to receive a considerable sum
each to alleviate their distress Money
cannot pay them for the loss of their
husbands and sons. 1t cannot assuage
their grief 1t cannot heal their sore
ness of spirit. But it would aid them
in the struggle of life which they now
have to wage singly and alone, and
the company for whom the men labor
ed and in whose interest their lives
were lost, ought to take into consider
alton all the facts in the heart-rend-
ing case. and act in a spirit of hui
manity rather than with a cold-blood-
ed business calculation. We are sorry
that the endeavor to settle the dispute
outside of the courts has not met
with its deserved success.

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Oklahoma has become like the
Dakotas, notorious as a place where
divorces are made easy. Large num-
bers of people who desired to dissolve
the connubial tie, and who could not
accomplish that result in the states
where they resided, have gone to
/ Oklahoma and severed the martial
bond in short order at small expense.
Indeed divorce was made easy in
! that territory for the purpose of
stimulating immigration and thus
rapidly increasing the population so
/ that it might have claims to array
itself in the garments Of sovereign
statehood.
Citizenship in Oklahoma was there
/ fore based on a ninety days resi-
dence. while citizens of the territory
could obtain a divorce on complaint
from the husband or wife of neglect
of duty" By this means a great
many people flocked into Oklahoma
and thousands of divorces were
granted. How much of happiness, or
how much of misery was evolved out
of this procedure we will not take
time to question.
But it appears that in the eager
ness of the authorities to make the
territory an easy divorce locality,
they went beyond the constitutional
authority vested in their courts. The
district courts did not meet often
enough to perform all the divorce
work required, so jurisdiction in di-
courts which, as most people know,
are usually considered always
open" At any rate in Oklahoma they
sat every month and so in every
county opportunity for easy divorce
was ample.
But the trouble has come upon
great many sundered couples, most of
whom have contracted fresh marital
unions, by the discovery that the pro-
bate courts under the organic act of
the territory had no jurisdiction in
divorce cases. So the business has
come to a sudden suspension. and it
is found that the DEGREES which have
been granted by those courts are il
legal and void. So there are hosts of
people who are not only undivorced,
to their great establishment and
misery, but they have committed
bigamy by contracting unlawful mar
riages.
The whole effect of this seandalous
business is immoral. We do not be-
lieve that people who have made
great mistake in marriage should be
compelled to live together in con-
slant irritation and misery, through
utter incompatibilfty or because of
unfitness by either party for the mar
riage relation. Divorce is necessary.
1t may called "a necessary evil" But
it is better than the enforced associa-
ton of persons totally unsuited to be
each others companion for life
AT the same time, divorce laws
should be strict in their provisions
and the sanctity of the marriage tie
should be upheld. There ought to be
something near to uniformity in the
marriage laws of the several states
and territories. This could be ar
ranged by a conference of delegates
from all parts Of the union, at which

LoANING THE PUBLIC CREDIT.

/ 1t is useless for Utah Republicans
or their papers to dispute the state
ment made by The Herald that it is to
the Democrats, aided by a few Republi-
cans. that the people lowe it that the
legislature was prohibited by the
state constitution from loaning the
credit of the state to private enter
prises." Yet for making that asser-
ton, Republican sheet has the eff
frontery to say that The Herald
"squarely lies
If it becomes necessary, in order to
establish the truth of The Herald's
proposition, to refer to the record of
the convention, we are perfectly willing
and able to produce the proofs. But
it appears to US that it is within the
memory of all readers of Utah news
papers that the convention occupied
several days in discussing this credit
proposition, and that finally the pro-
vision forbidding the state and its
counties and municipalities to loan
their credit in aid of private corpora
tons and individuals, prevailed by the
votes of solid phalanx of Democrats
supported by sufficient number of
Republicans, prominent among whom
was Mr.. Varain, who received big
share of abuse from our Republican
contemporary for the part he took in
this wise and worthy action.
The incipient state was in peril. If
the provision fought 10y the Republic
cans had not gone into the constitu-
ton, the door of the treasury would
have been left wide open for the en-
croachments of greedy corporations
and specuiating companies to grasp
the public funds wrung by taxation
from the toiling people. Every city
and county in the state as we'll as the
state itself would have been without
restriction as to pledging the public
credit for the benefit of those corpora
tions. and there is no telling how
heavy might be the load piled upon
the citizens of Utah which they would
probably have been compelled to
carry.
The Herald, at the time, quoted from
the constitutions of a large number of
states showing that they had similar
prohibitive articles to that proposed
by the Democrats and finally voted for
by their few Republican allies. 1t
was shown that a large number of
Republican states had adopted similar
restrictions, many of them by amend
ments to their constitutions, the result
of sad experience in an opposite
policy.
No doubt some of our Republican
contemporaries will boldly face the
issue and contend that the Republi-
can proposition was all right. But we
do not believe that they will be able
to cajole the ordinary Utah citizen,
male or female, into the falacious idea
that it was proper to open the way
in the constitution by which the state
or any of its departments should be
permitted to loan its credit for the
of private enterprises
and favored corporations.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-04

the outlines of divorce law could
be agreed upon and afterwards
adopted by the several legislatures.
Marriage and divorce do not come
within the constitutional purview OF
the United States. They are domestic
relations and are subjects for the
states respectively which have re-
served the right to regulate them
within their own limits. A national
divorce law would be a, step towards
a national marriage law. Neither
of them comes within the lines
Of federal authority. They belong
to the states individually, but
all the states could without diff
ficuhy come ITO a common understand
ing as to what shall constitute mar
riage and what divorce and pass laws
accordingly. That "a change is need
ed in the regulation of these import
ant affairs is universally conceded.
