MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr.. Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Sec
rotary of The National Municipal Lea
cue, in his review Of the municipal
situation, read before the annual meet
ing on last Wednesday, expressed the
view that the dignity and nobility Of
municipal life is beginning 70 dawn
upon the American people everywhere.
The time Is past when municipal affairs
were relegated to a secondary place,
and all Importance attached to nation
al concerns The cities are attracting
to their service men of first class abil-
liy, and the municipalities are being
dotted with organizations devoted to a
study and discussion Of their needs.
The city has assumed a place in our
political, social and industrial life,
which can no longer be safely ignored.
It's very size and importance in our
body polite commands attention.
lie then reviews the municipal situa-
ton IN many Of the leading cities, from
New York to Portland, oregon. and
everywhere he finds encouraging signs
Of Improvement Advances have been
made in all quarters, he says, and
while the municipal problem Is still
difficult one TO solve and calls for the
exercise OF the wlsest craftsmanship
and the greatest public spirit, he is
persuaded that 1t can be solved The
appreciate progress accomplished
within the period covered by the his
tory of the League furnishes a most
reasonable and substantial basis for a
hopeful outlook.
The overwhelming vote in Chicago,
last month, for municipal ownership
Of gas, electric light, heat and power
plants, and street railways, Is char
acterized as the most notable event
Of the year in the matter Of franchises.
It Is taken as an Indication Of the drift
Of public sentiment. 1t means, we are
told, either that the people are tired
Of the scandals ana corruption Incl
dent to the private ownership OF mu-
nlcipal monopoies or that they realize
that it is doubtful whether they have
the right to put such ownership into
the hands Of a few to make enormous
profits at the expense OF the many.
even II there were no corruption
The Low administration Of New York
is given several paragraphs in the re-
view. 1t Is pointed out that the very
criticism 20 which the mayor has been |
subjected is an evidence Of the advance |
and development Of public sentiment
Many things have been exposed to
criticism under this administration
which would have escaped It altogether
under the Strong administration and
regarded as inevitable. In way the
standards Of people are evidenced by
the objects Of their criticism. Judged
by this canon, the people Of New York
have made really wonderful progress.
Any agitation for the betterment Of
affairs should have the
hearty support of all good citizens. II
Is the most direct and safest road to
wise national politics. Reform, like
charity, should always begin at home.
National affairs will not be miscon.
iucted by a people careful about the
OF their municipal affairs

TRUSTS, NOR PRICES.

An expert on the cattle business tells
| the Chicago Record Herald that the
cattle-raiser really derives no profit
from the business at present, notwlth-
standing the high meat prices, and that
It Is unfair TO the farmer to intimate
that he gets too much for his products.
A marketable steer he says, costs
him Slo5,5O and for this he is paid by
the packers $lOS75 at ~ cents a
pound That is no profit to speak
about
These figures may, or may not, be
correct. But that Is neither here nor
there. They DO not touch the question
about which the agitation all over the
country has been started. Nobody
questions the right Of the individual
cattle-raiser to charge whatever he
considers reasonable, for the animals
he brings TO market, Nor is the right
Of the individual middemen or the final
distributors TO charge whatever they
please, doubted. But II any number
Of these combine for the purpose Of con-
trolling the market fix prices and rem
der competition impossible, they are
engaged IN unlawful business. no mat
ter how reasonable the prices 20 fixed
are. Healthful competition Is the best
guarantee for normal prices, and, It is
the supposed conspiracy against such
competition that has raised the storm
Of protest
II Is charged, for instance, that n few
packing houses have received as much
as 800OO0O annually In railroad re-
bates. by means OF which they have
had an undue advantage over competi-
tors. II is also charged that these con-
Germs have entered into an agreement
as TO the prices that should be charged
for their goods In the different places
If the country Evidence on these
points IL now said to be In tie hands
IF the attorney general, and It is be-
ieved injunctlons against these prac-
Ices viii be granted by the courts,
High prices are not the basis OF the
protests made. Everybody Is aware OF |
he fact that prices naturally move
~ and down in response to the changes
IA the market But the manner in
which the prices are fixed Is an all
matter.

A WISE DECISION.


The decision rendered by Judge Tan
ner of the city court, In the Sunday
liquor selling case, will be viewed as
sound by the general public. Lawyers.
however, may differ In their opinions
concerning It. There have been de-
cisions OF higher courts supporting
either side of the controversy which
turns on the right OF a municipality 10
employ detective means for the conylc-
ton of violators Of its ordinances.
II has been held that In sending po-
llcemen in plain clothes. or persons
specially hired for the purpose, TO pur-
chase lntoxlcants In order to obtain
evidence sufficient TO convict, the city
becomes particeps criminls, and that
the testimony Of the accomplice cannot
be received against the principal But
this theory Is not considered good law
by other legal lights and courts, who
take the commonsense view OF the stu
alton. and the fact that unless some
steps OF this kind are taken, It ls al
most impossible TO obtain evidence
against persons who are known to be
violating the law, and who resort to all
kinds OF schemes and subterfuges to
prevent the officers Of the law from
witnessing their criminal acts.
The admlsslbillty of testimony from
accomplices who turn states evil
dence' is well established principle
In criminal jurisprudence, and there
fore, even II the detectives course may
be legally considered as a participation
In the offence, his testimony may be
taken, that justice may be done and the
majesty Of the law be upheld. The
cunning Of the criminal must some
times be met by the craft OF the de-
tective, and II would seem TO us that
courts should maintain the authority
OF municipal government. when that is
possible within legal lines, and should
not lean In the least degree toward the
cause Of offenders who understand
what the law requires. and wllfully and
defiautly concoct schemes TO cover up
their repeated violation Of It's proyi-
sions. We believe that In case Of APP
peal, the higher courts viii sustain
Judge Tanners decision.

At the close Of the war with Spain
one Of the matters Of common congrat-
ulation was that It had forever united
the North and the South, that hence
forth there would be no sectional lines.
But the debate in the Senate on the
Philippines has drawn out some bitter
sectional controversies and given rise to
some III feelings. It Is TO be hoped that
1t will bring up no more old scores. Far
better would II be that Cuba be again
given over to Spain and all her colonies
that we took from her restored, than
that sectional hatred in our own land
should be rife again. To Americans the
home land is more important, is nearer
and dearer than all the isles of all the
seas. In the words Of the great Grant,
Let US have peace"

EXPLAIN ATORY.

In pointing out some omissions as
10 the Mormon conception OF Deity"
in Mr.. Charles Ellis pamphlet entl-
tied Christian" and Mormon" Doc
trines, The Deseret News did not at
tempt to enter into a dissertation on
the general subject OF the Godhead
We simply pointed out two or three
particulars which the author failed to
present A respected friend has ex-
pressed the opinion that the failure
20 set forth the Mormon" belief in a
personal God In whose image and like
ness man is formed was "unfortu-
nate" Other persons may possibly
take similar view, but It should be
distinctly understood that we were
crticlsihg the pamphlet for leaving out
certain features of our faith as to
Deity, not the statements that were
made in which the idea Of a personal
God were set FORTH
The Deseret News has very many
times explained the Mormon" doc
trihe of Deity. and It is proclaimed in
the standard works Of the Church. II
Is well known that the God we worship
is held to be our Father who is In hea.

whose likeness we are formed. That
Jesus Christ His Son, our elder broth
or, Is In His express image That
the Holy Ghost Is n parsonage but
mot OF tabernacle and that these
three separate persons are one in mind
purpose and intent.
Close readers OF the article referred
TO VIII see that we objected to the
omission from the pamphlet referred to
Of "The Mormon Doctrine Of the trim
ity IN unity" But our editorial was
not designed either as an exposition in
detail OF that doctrine or as an argu-
ment in It's favor. II was a simple
abatement in general Of the purport OF
the pamphlet under review
That the "Mormons" believe in and
worship a personal Deity Is plainly set
forth, In the contrast presented in the
pamphlet between the orthodox theory
and the Mormon" creed. After show
ing that "Mormonism" teaches that
spirit Is substance, and that God
hears. sees. talks, moves from place TO
