IN SPITE OF THE MANY evil
!. dences of the disfavor with which
the councilmen regard each other.
manifested at Tuesday nights meeting,
some progress in making Salt Lake
more healthful city was accom-
plished. This was the passage of the
pure ice ordinance. It viii undoubted-
" be signed by the mayor, and it
should be. The law is a good one in
every. respect and the only astonishing
feature about it IS that it was not
pIaced on the ordinance book long
ago. As much disease Is attributable
10 impure ice as to impure milk. and
vet for years milk has been rigidly in
spected. while ice has been sold almost
regardless Of its condition.
And while The Herald is on the sub
iect of ordinances, it desires to call
attention again 90 Councilman Hew-
let's bill board measure. 1t is now in
the hands of the committee on munich
nal laws. but it should not be allowed
TO rest there The bill board industry
has grown in salt Lake out of all pro-
portions. Wherever one goes the un-
slightly bill board rears itself in
hideous uginess Not only do the bill
boards lessen the value Of surrounding
property. but, as The Herald has be-
fore pointed out, they constitute a
menace to the public morals and the
public health.
This fac. Is being recognized more
and more by other cities and the bill
board is being iegislated against by
many councils. The Hewlett ordinance
sin not drive the bill board out Of

dustry in such way that it cannot
escape due bounds The proposed law
requires that two-thirds of the proper

WAR IN THE PHILIPPINES.


GENERAL JACOB II. SMITH Is be-
y ing dragged into a net from which
Re VIII have great difficulty in escap-
Ing. If the duty CT soldiers is to 10 as
they are told without asking env ques-
tioas. General Smith and not Major
Waller is responsible for the unwar-
ranted execution OF Filipino prisoners.
The general has denied that he gave
any orders to take no prisoners. but
tbs evidence Is against him Three
reputable officers. in addition to Major
waller. have testified before the Waller
court-martlal that Smith did gte the
order
They say they were Instructed TO kali
and burn. the more the better. and that
the island Of Samar, which Smith COM
manded. was TO be made a bowling
wilderness. Every human being over

decree Of hutchery, Smith is quoted by
these officers as saying. Was there
ever a more horrible condition Of af-
fairs? Women, old and young. chill

cred relentlessly Truly, Smith is a
credit to the administration Of blood
and Doodle
His denial ,von:d not. i'm view of the
other evidence, have much weight in
an ordinary court Of law. The pre-
ponderance is decidedly against him.
In this instance. however. it is not
likely that Smith viii taLc the place OF
the defendant Waller. To be a brig
adler general implies political influence
these days. The very fact that Waller
Is on trial indicates that ne is with
out that influence. As between Smith
and Waller, therefore. it is easy to see
what is going to happen. Somebody

Secretary Root must answer. promptly
and fully. His hands are probably
clean so far as the money is con
cerned. but he must. TO save his own
reputation. see that the guilty are
brought TO justice.

out the wild carnival % loot, no atten-

SWIFT PHILADELPHIA JUSTICE.

PHILADELPHIA HAS GIVEN the
nation a splendid example of the
possibilities of a court of justice in
dealing with a murderer. It is also an
example in forbearance which other
cites and states would do well to emu
late. William II. Lane. a negro butler,
shot and killed the woman who en-
pIoyed him and then killed her two
children. He was arrested as he was
about 70 escape from the officers. Less
than eighty hours after he fired the
first shot lac was under sentence Of
death.
The city of Brotherly Love has long
Seen laughed at for its slowness. There
is a saying that a Philadelphia man
can't hurt himself by falling out of a
twenty-story window. because he falls
so slowly. These quips, goOd-natured
and otherwise, may have been merited.
but now an apology is due to the Penn
sylvania metropolis. To sentence a
murderer within less than eighty hours
after he commits his crime is a record
which has hardly ever been equaied in
a court
If judges and juries were always so
prompt the last vestige OF an excuse
for lynch law would be swept away. 1t
I is TO be hoped that the sentence of
Lane VIII be carried out promptly and
there is every reason for believing it
Will be- No question as to his guilt
can be raised, for he was fully identi-
fed, and. indeed, ne confessed that he
/ committed the murders. In many less
well regulated communities he would
! never have lived TO reach a Jail 30
the credit Of Philadelphia, there was no
lynching and. more TO its credit the
court performed its duty promptly.
It is always better 10 let the law
: take its course. The course IS long
! sometimes. and to the friends and rel
/ atives of the victims it is very tedious
/ but i'm the end the result desifed is
usually reached. tt is better for the
community. better for the state, better
for the nation that a hundred murder
ers drag out a few weary years in tho
shadow Of the gailows than that one
/ should be murdered by mob.

through fear Of boycott, refused 10

Col. Hallum Is an old gentleman,

in a crowded court room. and spoke
for three hours, and his speech was
