for higher wages are granted. The
street did not take kindly to the de-
clines, particularly in St. Paul, which

Tns WYOMING CALAMITY.

I HE HEART Of every citizen Of Utah
1 will go out in sympathy to the peo-
pie Of Wyoming in the great catas-
trophe that has come upon that state.
In the twinkling OF an eye the lives OF
more than 200 worxingmen were taken
from them. We Of Utah know how to
appreciate in all its horror the depth Of
such a calamity. It is only a few years
since the Scofield disaster. in which
200 men died.
Both oatastrophes were very similar.
At scoheld the explosion was thought
to have been caused by coal dust,
though no man has ever been able to
say with positiveness what caused it.
The reports from Hanna, Wyo., indi-
cate that the disaster there was caused
by an explosion Of fire damp. The net
result was the same in both cases.
Nearly all the men at work in the
mines at the time were killed.
Bad as is the Wyoming calamity,
however. the present loss Of life does
not constitute its worst feature. Utah
people know that. They remember the
wee, the sorrow, the suffering that fol-
lowed the explosion. Even now in
fancy they can hear the cries of the
widows and the fatherless. What is to
become Of the dependent wyoming
families? With the wage-earners
taken away. will they be permitted to
suffer bodily as well as mental dis
tress?
We think not. At the time Of the
Utah disaster the aid was as prompt
as the necessity. Trainloads Of provi-
sions were rushed to Sco6eld. Tenderly
the wants Of the sufferers were min
istered 10. the eyes Of the dead were
closed, the tears OF the living were
dried. In so far as It was possible for
human help and human sympathy TO
relieve human suffering it was relieved
at Scoheld.
And it will be so in Wyoming. The
residents of that state will be prompt
to rise to the occasion. They win send
provisions. nurses, doctors, clothing
money. The surviving families will be
cared for. not as a duty. but as a
blessed privilege. The corporation that
owned the mine in which the employees
went to sudden death can afford to be
generous with the stricken families, as
the Utah Fuel company was generous.
II cannot do less than give to each
widow or other dependent such sums
as will enable them to be free from
want until they can find a way to live
without outside aid.
The responsibility for the disaster, if
there is criminal responsibility for it,
can be placed later. This is not the
TINA for Won OF that sort. Every eff
fort should 4 made for the relief of
distress. The cry of the sick at heart
must not go unheeded.

WHERE THE BLAME RESTS.

Jour YOUNG MEN, all but one un-
1 der q years of age. one OF them
being only II, got drunk Tuesday aft
ernOon and went down to Liberty
park There they became involved in
a difficulty with a policeman who tried
TO arrest them for disorderly conduct.
AZ a result one OF the boys was shot
and wounded 50 severely that he may
die. The other three are in Jail, and
the policeman is nursing painful,
though not serious, wounds.
There Is little question but that the
policeman was justified in shooting one
OF his assailsnts. Il was to protect his
own life that he fred. No blame, there

SUCCESS TO YOU. MIR. EVANS

T HE HERALD wishes Attorney Da-
vid Evans a fun measure Of sue
cess I'm his proposition to have Judge
Marshall Of the federal court pass on
the question whether or not the salary
increase granted to the supreme and
district judges Of the state by the last
legislature is applicable to the judges
who were In Office at the time the bill
was passed We do not know what
method Mr.. Evans viii adopt for
bringing the matter 10 the attention OF
Judge Marshall, but we certainly hope
that able Jurist viii find a way OF TAX
ing II up.
There isn't a judge in the state who
Is qualified to decide any suit that may
be brought in this connection. True,
Judge Lewis was appointed after the
passage OF the law. but 1t would be
manifestly unfair to ask him for a de-
cision for the reason that he would
naturally incline toward an affirmative
decision. This for the reason that it
would hardly seem fair for him to
draw a higher salary than his brother
judges OF equal rank. In this sense he
may be said to have an interest in the
case and could properly decline to hear
It.
Nor could a special Judge be appoint
ed who would be free from the sus-
plcion that his mind was already made
up. The officials who would appoint
the special judge are deeply interested
in securing an Affirmative outcome Of
the case. The situation is. therefore,
extraordinarily unusual as well as deli
cate. IL is doubtful If there ever was
a case in any state like it. Lawyers
have searched for presidents, but have
been unable to find any, and a new
precedent must be made.
II has been suggested that the case
could be gotten into the federal court
through a quo warranto proceeding
gainst Auditor Tingey instituted by a
nonresident taxpayer. 1t may be that
Attorney Evans viii adopt this meth
cd. although on that point he has given
out no information. Certain It is that
nothing less than a federal court opin-
ion win Be satisfactory to the people Of
Utah. a large majority OF whom, in
GLIDING practically all the lawyers Of
any prominence. are convinced that
the giving Of increased salaries > the
judges IN Office when the increase was
authorized is a fraud and a swiudIe.
And by the way. Mr.. Evans viii par
don us for suggesting that he is wrong
when he says the legislature is to
blame. We thoroughly believe the
judges Of the state should have higher
salaries. and that was what the legis-
lsture believed. We do not believe,
though, that the present judges should
be paid more money than they agreed
to serve the people for. Goodness
knows if an effort had been made to
lower their salaries we would have
heard a wailing chorus that would
have drowned all other sounds.
IT'S poor rule that doesn't work
both ways"

THE NEW LEAGUE.

e o SALT LAKE is to have a place
- In a real baseball league. This is
the good news that comes down from
Tacoma. where the magnates Of the Pa
cific National nave been holding a ses-
sion. The Portland team, lock, stock
and barrel. is to be turned over to Salt
Lake and yesterday played its first
game under our name. However, be-
fore we begin extending congratula-
tons to one another. let us. as our Ger
man friend would say. look a leedle
out"
To begin with the Portland aggrega-
tion Of ball players is, on form, the
weakest team in the Pacific National
league. At least, 1T has lost more
games and won fewer than any OF the
other combinations. There is abundant
prima faeie evidence at hand to show
that the team must be strengthened
considerably before it can hope to make
a creditable showing. We have abun-
dant material in Utah. with such ad-
ditions as seem best from the present
Portland team. TO make. up frst-cIass
nine. one that should win a majority
of its games.
A disposition seems to be manifest to
wait until Buck Weaver can be Sc
cured as local manager. Now. Weaver
is first rate baseball general and an
able manager. but his release from San
Francisco will be a matter of weeks.
In that time the team might go to
pieces. There is no necessity for wait
ing for Weaver. A certain old gentle
man up at ogden is very well known
locally in the baseball business. He
knows the game from the first out to
the twenty-seventh and he knows a
baseball player when he sees one
II is hardly necessary to say that
this is a reference to one GimIin. If
Gimlin can be secured by the Salt Lake
management at a reasonable figure to
act as manager the rest will be easy.
especially If his management is not in
terfered with. Gimlin oan safely be
trusted to pick out players who will
make good" More. in spite OF the
fact that he has always played against
as and played his best. GimHn is very
popular in salt Lake.
II the managerial question could be
submitted to a vote Of the baseball
patrons we believe Gimlin would win
without a struggle. OF course. IT pains
many Of us to think of going to our
hated rivals for manager. but the
truth is that a man as good as Gimlin
is a very scarce article on the baseball
field. However, The Herald has no
desire to interfere with the gentlemen
who are putting up their money for
the purpose of giving salt Lake taste
Of the national sport.
