CORPORATE LAwLsssnsss-

DUBLIC SYMPATHY has been large
ly on the side Of the Utah Fuel
company in the coal strike that has
been in progress in Carbon county for
the last few weeks but public sympa-
thy VIII not remain on the side of the
company if such incidents as that re-
ported from Scoheld in The Herald of
yesterday are repeated very often. A
dispatch from Scoheld says the attor-
nev for the strike leader. DemOlE. who
arrived there with bondsmen and wit
nesses to defend Demoru before a jus
tice OF the peace from a charge Of dis
turbing the peace, was held up and in
Inundated by armed men in the employ
of the Utah Fuel company.
After some parley the attorney was
allowed to proceed, says the dispatch,
but the witnesses and bondsmen We're
prevented from attending court. This
by means OF loaded rifles and threats
Of violence. On behalf of the coal com
parry # is asserted that the bondsmen
and Witnesses were drinking heavily
on the train that took them to Scodeld,
and that they were disorderly on their
arrival there. To most people this Will
seem a decidedly lame defense. If the
mcn were drunk and disorderly, as
claimed by representatives Of the COM
airy. it was the duty Of the latter. who
had been sworn ia as deputy sherifrs,
10 arrest them without delay.
The fact that this action was not
taken is an indication that the men
lad done nothing to warrant their ar
Iest And If they had committed no
overt act which would bring them un-
der the ban of the law, they had not
done anything which would furnish a
legitimate excuse for the treatment
they are said to have received. 1t is not
crime i'm this country to testify i'm
behalf of even an Italian strike leader.
liz is not a crime to go on the bond of a
strike leader. The men who accom-
panied the attorney were strictly within
ftheir rights and for the armed guards

The most high-handed proceeding yet

peaceful But the law covers the cases
OF such men None of them is so mean,
SO vicious, so degraded that he IS not
entitled to all the protection the law
can give him, for the law is no resDecter

oAplrAL puSIsHmEsT AGAIN.

4 n ESTEEMED CONTEMPORARY
a the Logan Nation, takes issue with
The Herald on the question Of capital
punishment. We confess a profound
respect for the opinions Of the Nation.
but in this particular instance we in
sist that il has the wrong side Of the
argument We quote:
Moreover. The Herald well knows
that there is not a state in the Union
Utah not excepted-in which the pun
ishment for murder is death. that the
law is not extremely uncertain in its
operation. This Is true to the extent
that the calculating offender has come
to despise the law, for an occasional
execution does not offer a stronger mo-
tive for abstaining from crime than
the ordinary motives for committing it,
Nor does the opponent Of capital pun
ishment believe that executions tend to
lessen hOmicides Who ever heard Of a
man who was restrained from commit
ting murder by fear Of the gaIlows?
Who believes for a moment that under
present conditions in Utah such re-
straint exists2 When murder has once
been conceived and determined upon
an restraint is alike forgotten or de-
sDised"
Does not the Nation know that IN
every state in the union in which the
punishment for murder is death there
is a life Imprisonment alternative2
Does it not know that even in Utah the
law provides that every person guilty
OF murder in the first degree shall SUI
fer death, or upon the recommended
tion Of the jury. may be imprisoned at
hard labor i'm the state prison for life?
IN the case of Cation VS.. the people it
was held that a reversible error was
committed by the trial court when it
allied to instruct the jury as to this
s-atutory provision.
Opponents of capital punishment
seem TO overlook the fact that the
lesser punishment may always be inn
posed. The matter. therefore. is en-
rely in the hands of the jury. The
Jaw is good, and just, and sound. be-
cause there are crimes Of such heinousl
ress that death is the only proper
punishment for the offender. The mere
fact that a death penalty is possible
does not compel a jury to discharge a
/ defendant any more than it compels q
jury to inhict such a penalty, even
when there is a doubt as to the guilt
Of the defendant No, lax law enforce
ment cannot be charged against the
death penalty.
On the point as to whether fear Of
death on the gallows restraints posi-
BE murderers, there IS plenty of room
for a difference Of opinion. We believe
il does, just as we believe the laws
against burglary and larceny and as
sault restrain individuals who would
( commit such crimes il it were not for
the laws. True. we don't hear of cases
Of this kind, and for a very good rea-
son. Men don't go around advertising
the fact that they would kill or rob or
! steal or assault If there We're no laws
/ against killing and robbing and steal
/ ing and assauIting. OF course. we
don't hear about them.
