FOLKS IDEA OF DUTY.

CIRCUIT ATTORNEY FOLK Of St.

has sent to the penitentary most OF
the members Of the gang Of hooters that
stole at viii from the treasury OF the
Missouri metropolis, has just given a
notable example OF the spirit in which
public officers should view their work
A number Of st. Louis citizens who
have followed Mr.. Folks prosecutions
with admiration and interest. recently
made up a purse amounting to $4,000.
With it they purchased a handsome
home, having the deed made out to Mr..
Folk. The other day they called to
present the property to the circuit at
tOrney. Naturally the prosecutor was
very much touched by this substantial
evidence OF the appreciation in which
his efforts for law and order are held
but he surprised his friends by refusing

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

TIE RIO GRANDE and the Colorado
Midland are trying an experiment
which win be watched with consider
able interest by cattIemen, sheepmen
and the general public. These two
Colorado roads have agreed to divide
territory 10 making shipments to the
range on the western slope of the
Rockies, confning sheep shipments to
certain localities and cattle shipments
TO different territory.
II this plan can be made effective,
it may be possible 70 avert the troubles
between sheep and cattle owners over
the range and it may result in a prac-
teal solution Of a question that has
disturbed stockmen since the days of
the old patriarchs who fought over
wells in the deserts.
The only criticism of the plan is that
railroads cannot well refuse TO accept
shipments Tor any station on line so
long as they are common carriers. and
stockmen win drive long distances to
range il they cannot ship conveniently.
There IS no question but that sheep
destroy q range and make il impossible

mOnwealth of Pennsylvania has
set at least one example that Utah
would do well to follow. At the last ses-
sion Of the Pennsylvania legislature a
bill was passed which provided for an
increase Of from $1,000 TO $1,000 in the
salaries Of the judges Of supreme. supe-
TiOr and common pleas courts At the
time the bill was enacted it was de
cIared that, Notwithstanding the prac-
tice was specifically forbidden by d
constitutional provision identical with
the provision in the Utah constitution,
the judges then holding Office would
benefit by the raise in salaries.
The matter was referred to Governor
Pennypacker who has Just held that
the Increase is unconstitutional as ap-
piled to the. present judges The ques-
ton may possibly be taken into the
courts in some way. but such action is
extremely unlikely in view of the fact
that several Of the judges have an
nOunced that they agree with Governor
Pennypacker, who is himself a judge Of
long experience and unquestioned per-
soma! honor.
Three supreme court judges are
quoted as saying TO their friends that
they are not legally entitled to more
pay and that they not only will make
no application for it. but If it should
be rendered them. they will decline to
accept the money We have in titan
case that is the exact parallel of the
Pennsylvania case The last legisla-
tIre passed a biH giving the district
. crease OF pay. Notwithstanding the
constitutional inhibition the legislators
understood that the increase was to
become effective Immediately
So the bin was passed with that
thought in view. Governor Wells, hav-
Ing prohted by a similar action, gave
the measure his official endorsement.
Indeed, he could not consistently have
done anything else Up 10 date none
of the judges who were in Office at the
time the bill was passed have applied
Tor the increase salary. Instead, they
nave accepted warrants issued by Aud
itor Tingey at the old rate.
We have not heard, however, that q
single Utah judge has passed upon the
constitutionality of this grab. So far
all have remained discreetly silent for
the reason, perhaps, that they don't
want to say anything at this time that
may rise up TO plague them at
later time when an effort to secure the
extra money may be made
The Herald viii do the judges the
justice To say that they may not try
10 profit by the unconstitutiOnaIity ef-
fort 10 raise their salaries. but if they
would come out frankly and announce
their positions there would be no Oc-
casion for further comment.

IN extreme cases and then the govern
ment for which he works rewards him
suitably. No officer has a right to ex-
pect. nor should he receive. from out
side parties, any token OF so vaIuable
a character as this feel that it is
my duty to refuse your most generous
offer"
There viii be doubt in the minds Of
many as TO whether or not it is good
policy for an officer to receive gifts Of
this character. Certainly Dewey lost
none Of the hold he had on the esteem
Of the public when he accepted thS
house IN Washington presented to him
by his admirers Similarly, General
Grant accepted a house in Philadelphia
and other distinguished public men
have been rewarded for doing their
duty and nothing but their duty.
Surely there is nothing remotely ap-
preaching dishonor in the suggestion
that an officer has the right to accept
presents from the people he serves.
However, the question is one that each
individual must settle for himself. Mr..
Folk has done more for St. Louis than
any other criminal prosecutor the city
has ever had. Regardless Of the pres
sure brought to bear upon him, regard
less Of threats against his life, he has
gone steadily on, landing boodler after
boodler behind the bars.
He is entitled to all the honors and
emoluments his friends can give him,
but if he sees fit to refuse the latter,
we may all be sure he does It from the
very highest. purest motives.

soDERouEsT's BAD FIX.

ONE OF THE MOST unfortunate men
~ who have ever become involved
with the law is J. c. L. Soderquest of
Massachusetts. Some time ago, when
the city of Boston was wildly excited
over the crimes of a man who assaulted
a number of women and killed several
Of them, Soderquest was arrested. He
was charged with an attempt on the
life of a Miss Croker.
The Identification was very incOm-
plete and the evidence against Sober
quest was faulty, but through his ig-
nOrance of the laws of the country,
SOderquest was induced to plead guilty
He was sentenced to serve a term Of
from seven to nine years in the peniten-
tiary. There he is today although it has
developed. beyond the possibility Of
doubt, that he was entirely innocent of
any wrongdOing.
A minister has come forward with the
announcement that at the very time
Miss Croker was attacked, he was
talking with Soderquest. To most of US
it would seem that the disposition of
SOderquest's case should be very easy
That is, he should receive an immediate
and unconditional pardon. But they do
things differently in Massachusetts.
It has been suggested that a pardon
for SOderquest is out of the question
because he cannot be pardoned for an
Offense he never committed; therefore
a pardon would not be a vindicatiOn.
SOderquest's friends insist that he
should be tried again and formally ac-
quilted, that that is the only proper
method of clearing his name and rem
edying this mistake of law.
Unfortunately a new trial is impOs-
sible because a Massachusetts statute
specifically provides that in cases
where defendants enter pleas of guilty
no new trial shall ever be granted. So
Soderquest is barred from a second
trial. Now the question is: What is
to become of the unfortunate man?
Must he, innocent though he has
proven to be, serve out the remainder
Of his prison term rather than accept
the doubtful vindication a pardon
would give him? Let US hope not. If
the man is really innocent and if his
friends have any sense at all, they will
secure a pardon for him without delay
By his subsequent life he can vindicate
himself amply.
In the meanwhile. his friends being
engrossed in their arguments d bOut his
case. SOderquest is still in prison.

the song a beautiful Interpretation and was
ably assisted by the band of thirty-six
pieces, fine band arrangement of the
conductor. William K. Barnes The new
Brehany's sympathetic voice and il was re-
ceived with so much enthusiasm by the
large audience present that IL will be re-
peated at the matinee this afternoon and
again at this evenings concert. Mr.. De
