MORSE AND EIoHNoR.

0NE OF THE HERALD's CONTEM-
- poraries has criticised Judge
Morse and Prosecuting Attorney Eich-
nor for the admission of James Sharp's
story ot the revelation in the Morten-
son case. Criticism on this point is so
manifest'y unjust that it should not
pass unnOticed.
A. was their right, counsel for Nor
Jensen drew out the story of the reve-
lation on their own motion. Neither
the prosecution nor the trial judge
could object Indeed. the best lawyers
in the city are agreed that it would
have constituted an error If the judge
had ordered this testimony stricken out.
Mr. Eichnor probably could not have
secured the introduction.of the evidence
If he had wished, but when Mortensen's
attorneys themselves elected it, he
would have been unwise 10 demur.
In all the annals of criminal courts
i'm Utah there has never been fairer
trial. there has never been a case
where the defendant was given wider
latitude to prove his innocence or raise
a reasonable doubt of his guilt. Both
the Judge and the prosecuting lawyer
conceded all that could have been asked
by Mortensen, and IL there was any
error it was on the side of liberality.
Whether the sharp testimony az to
a revelation was credible as evidence
is entirely beside the point and its
admission under the circumstances
ought not 10 be questioned.
Judge Morse and Mr.. Eichnor have
every reason to be congratulated for
their record in the trial and the COM
munity is to be congratulated on hay
ing men of their ability and fairness

THE SALOONS ON SUNDAY.

1--WE approve the action of the Repub-
hcan administration in suppressing gam
bling houses and in closing saloons ON
Sunday, and we pledge the Republican
nominees TO the enforcement of laws anG
ORDINANCES for the preservation of public
morals. Extract from the platform
adopted by the city Republican conven-
ton held in the Salt Lake theatre last
October.
Asst SUNDAY every saloon in Salt
i Lake that. wanted to stay open for
business was open. Nearly all Of them
wanted 10 stay. open.
Without let or hindrance men walked
into thcm and bought intoXicants. The
police made absolutely no effort to pre-
vent the lawbreakine which they must
have known was in progress.
tt is not necessary at this time To
discuss the .rightfulness or the wrong
fulness OF the Sunday closing law. II
is sufficient that It is the law and
that there are city officers whose sworn
duty it is to enforce that law.
When the Republican party thought
it needed the votes Of the law-abiding
element Of the community, it promised
solemnly in convention assembled that
# it's candidates Were elected they
would see to il that the laws were
obeyed. There was no bubble, no eva
sion about the written pledge. It's
words quoted above, are SO plain that
ans child can understand them. For
a long time Mayor Thompson withheld
his open approval of the promise, but,
driven by the fear Of losing votes. he
gave the sunday closing alliance, over
his signature a solemn affirmation of
every utterance contained in the plat
form
How has he kept faith? Faith with
out works is dead and by their
fruits shall sc know them" are well
known texts to which the attention OF
Mayor Thompson and his chief of po-
lice r. called. They cannot plead in
Justification that it is impossible with
the present police force to close the
saloons on sunday. For several weeks
before the election and FOR several
months after the votes had been count

was closed at midnight ON Saturday
and kept closed until midnight on sun
day.
Has the Republican administration
reached the point where # was neces-
sary to break faith with somebody
And does it prefer to keep faith with
the saloon keepers rather than with
the citizens who believe in law enforce
ments Are the mep who run the
drinking houses Of this city mightier
than the law? These are questions
which Mayor Thompson and Chief Of
Police Paul must answer.
The people Of Salt Lake last Novem-
Der reposed in the hands of the Re
publican party a sacred trust Lured
by Pharisaical promises. they continued
Mayor Thompson and his Republican
associates i'm power. The trust has
been betrayed. the promises broken,
the laws trampled upon. the upholders
or order mocked
What excuse has Mayor Thompson
10 offer FOR his conduct? How can
chief Paul escape the opprobrium
hich should be visited upon every
official who VIGOROUSLY and persist
entity fails to do his sworn duty?

CURIOUS PHFNoMFNA
Queer Things That Come Out of the
Clouds

Clouds.
New YOrk's recent shower of muddy
rain is one Of those phenomena which.
though not common, occur al inter-
walls in all parts Of the world. Not
long ago at Flume, in Austria. there
was heavy fall of half frozen. brown
ish snow, and in Italy, and some parts
Of Germany there was a downpour of
red rain. 1t was found upon investi-
cation that the brown snow of Flume
was caused by the admixture of sand
which had been blown from the desert
Of Sahara hundreds OF miles away
across the Mediterranean, and the red
rain was not deluge of blood. as the
peasants thought. bat was due to the
presence of quantities of minute infu-
sora which somehow had been drawn
up in the heavens and let down again
when the clouds fell as rain. saws the
New York Mail and Express.
A singular phenomenon of this sort
occurred in Venezuela some time ago
when colored haiIst0nes fell in the
state Of ZamOra. There was first q
heavy thunderstorm. with much rain.
and then, after a while. the hail came
down in such abundance that hun
dreds of bushels of hailstOnes. u14ght
have been gathered Some of the hail
stones weighed as much as two ounces.
IT is we'll known that in the tropics
hailstorms are exceedingly rare in
places situated in the lOwlands. But
this hailstorm was particularly re-
markable on account OF the color of
the hailstones. some of which were
whitish while others were blue. green.
rose color or red.
Schwedoff. who i'm his memoir on the
origin of hailstorms, describes a fail
OF similarly cOlOred hailstones which
fell at Minsk in Prussia, in the month
of June, thinks that the cOlOrs are due
TO the presence Of nickel and salts of
cobalt, and that the phenomenon con-
firms his hypothesis Of the cosmic or
igin Of hail. There have been many
well authenticated cases where. after
a heavy rain, the ground has been
found strewn with small fish which
have dropped from the clouds. and
even young frogs, scarcely out of their
tadpOle state. have been known 10
descend upon the wings of the storm.
One theory is that ali these FOREIGN
substances are carried up into the
clouds by whiTlwindA and another
that the least bulky of them, such as
minute infusOra, are caught I'D in the
process Of evaporation.

ENDoRslNeTHEMoTHER-IN-LAw

THE HERALD feels that it is honor
4 ing itself when it embalms the
tame of wilhelm Giese of Chicago.
And right here it desires to express the
hope that Mr.. Giese himself viii not
need the services of an embalmer for
many a year. At one fell swoop. as
the hawk remarked 10 the chicken, Mr.
Giese has demolished the ancient comic
paper tradition about the mother-in-
law. and yet. in a measure, he sustains
that tradition.
As long ago as 1900, Mr.. Giese, having
become enthralled with the matri-
monisl habit, took unto himself another
wife He had previously enjoyed the
compamonship of three, all of whom
had passed. let US hope, into a'happier
land Two of them were sisters. and
thus their mother was twice mother
in-law to Mr.. Giese. Naturally he
loved her. for she had endowed him
literally with her jewels. During the
years that he was married to her.
daughters, singly. of course she lived
with him and aided in making the home
brighter and better and happier.
When Mrs. Giese No. 4 appeared in
the family circle, Mr.. Giese thought it
would be right and proper TO keep his
double mOther-in-law in the home. just
as he had always kept her. His bride
was so unfeeling as to make pro-
test. IN fact. she made number of
protests, but without avail. At last she
told Mr.. Giese that if he didn't send
HIS mother-in-la w-twO- times away she
would seek a separate lodging for her
self. Mr.. Giese told her to start on
the search straightway. He certainly
had no objections. SO away went No.
4, and brought a suit for separate MAIN
tenance.
Judge Holdom of Chicago heard the
case. and his opinion must ever be
a source of comfort to the mothers-in-
law Of the land. said he: If the dog
does not bite. a mans wife cannot COM
plain because he keeps il in the house,
and it is the same with an ex-mOther-
in-law. that is. the mother of former
wife. if she does not harm anybody.
The last wife has no grounds for COM
plaintf
The Herald takes off its hat to Judge
Holdom. If the double mother-in-law
i'm this case bites there is no record
Of it in the proceedings. Neither does
she track mud all over the house nor
chew up the morning paper. Therefore
she is eptitled To a peaceful corner
and a place at the table. May all the
mothers-in-law get equal justice. So
far as The Herald is aware, every one
OF them thoroughly deserves it.
