A eooDLAw.

GOVERNOR WELLS has under con-
" sideration a bin which has passed
both houses Of the legislature. provid-
ing that in cases Of separation or di-
vorce the mother shall be given the
custody Of the children. unless proven
unit for their care.
The measure puts into statute form
the practice of most states. Where,
for any reason, the father and mother
are separated. the common instincts
of humanity as well as the proved re-
suits Of experience show that the chill
dren fare best with their mother. No
one Is as wen prepared to look after the
welfare Of children as the woman who
brought them into the world. who has
watched over them hour by hour. sacri-
feed herself for them and interviewer
her life with theirs. No one is so help
less as a father left with motherless
children on his hands.
It would seem that there ought to be
no question about the humanity and
common-sense Of such a law, yet there
have been protests to Governor Wells
against his approval Of this particular
bill If &c becomes a law il still leaves
the way open. to reasonable objections
and the authority of the court if the
mother is proved unfit morally TO be the
custodian to the children; but if the bin
does not become a law, the father will
have, as he has now, the right to take
the children from their mother unless
she is able to fight for their possession
and establish the fact that the father
ought not to be trusted with their rear
ing.
The women Of Salt Lake who have
been interested in good legislation ought
surely to find it in their hearts to urge
Governor Wells TO sign this bill With
the opposition to it he may feel that it
has no friends unless advised to the
contrary. and The Herald hopes the
matter win be taken up by the women
who think the measure a good one. To-
day is the last day for action in the
matter.

OF the legislatures Utah has had so

negative, chiefly, since its best work
has been i'm the Slaughtered vicious

an earnest minority composed Of both
Republicans and Democrats who rec
ognized the danger to the whole state
from the bills referred TO.
In constructive legislation there has
been little Of merit, and the defeat OF
such measures as the water commits

little short OF disgraceful. II any good

a failure which injuries Salt Lake.

wide circle Of his salt Lake friends

to great achievements was opening to
him, his sun has gone down. II is
idle now to talk Of comfort for those
who knew him best and who loved him
most.
Theirs Is the sorrow that knows no
alienation; theirs the burden Of woe
that cannot be lightened. The passing
Of this young man is one of those
tragedies which. TO the mortal mind,
are beyond all understanding. We can
not explain it. we cannot hope to eX-
plain it except on the principle that
whatever is, is right Bitter though
the grief Of the bereaved must be,
there Is some compensation in even
such a passing as this.
Their dead is beyond the reach Of
pain now: he has passed from the
world Of work and woe and tragedy to
the world Of rest. His is now the peace
that passeth all understanding; his the

THE JUDGES SALARIES BILL.

IN PASSING the measure which pro-
i vldes for increasing the salaries Of

the legislature adds color 10 the story
that was current at the time the SAL
aries OF the state officers were in-
creased. IL viii be remembered that
"a bin was then pending by which the
judges, supreme and district were to
receive more pay. This measure was
withdrawn with the understanding. it
was stated at the time. that the SUI
preme court would first pass upon the
legality of the raise for the state Of
dcials. so that it could not be charged
with self-interest.
A further understanding, according to
the report. was that the subsequent
legislature. which is the one now in
session. would increase the pay Of the
judges. a precedent therefor having
been established. III such a contract

JUDGE TANNERS CASE.

. FRIENDS OF JUDGE TANNER seem
to think that the charges against
him do not merit further attention than
a general denial of a specific assertion.
So far as Tanner. the individual, is con-
cerned. this attitude might do; but the
charge affects more than the individ-
ual; it stands against a judge Of a
court. entrusted with the administra-
ton Of justice.
No position demands a more rigid
regard for personal uprightness than
that of a judge; no position requires
such unQuestioned integrity. Judge
Tanner and his friends may be content
with the answer ne has made TO the
publications regarding his marriage re-
lations. but the public and the mem
bers Of the bar who have TO practice in
his court have a right to ask that ne
punish his defamers If he is innocent,
or resign his position on the bench If he
Is not innocent.
il is true that no man may be called
guilty Of any charge until his guilt is
proved; but IL is also true that few in
noceut men would be content TO re-
main inactive under charges affecting
not only their personal life. but also
their official standing. Judge Tanners
friends advise him but poorly when
they plead the lack Of remedy for him.
The law which he administers provides
ample and certain justice for him, as
well as for the least of the litigants
who appear before him. In justice to
himself. 20 his profession and to the
profession he represents, Judge Tanner
ought 20 clear his name OF the charge
which has been laid at his door so pub
licly that IL cannot be ignored.
