BOAST OF PRESIDENT SMITH.


They called him Smith of Utah.
For he bore that mysterious name,
And he'd worked with cheer full many a
year
A-multiplying the same.
So he counted his brides on mis- ringers
As he sat by his Mormon hearth.
s.ITndoubtedly we are the people said he,
For the Smiths shall inherit the earth.
And why should the Browns and the
Joneses
For numerical conquest strive?
I've children" said he-'now let me see
Some forty or forty-five.
With a hundred and thirty grandsons
OF plentiful Mormon girth,
There's JOY to the kith OF the tribe Of
Smith.
For they shall inherit the earth.
Let Roosevelt gasp in horror
When 1 marry another bride.
He dare not abuse whom he cannot accuse
of racial suicide.
I've sOWn with a SOlomOus wisdom
Ny seed in a land OF dearth.
And it's easy 70 see that it's owing TO me
That Smith shah inherit the earth.
They called him Smith Of Ctah.
For he bore that mysterious name.
And he never would shirk the heaven-seni
work
OF multiplying the same.
he had texts from the Book OF Mormon
He had maXims OF weight and worth.
But the truest of all that ne ever let fall
Was Smiths shall inherit the earth.

THE BEST STORIES of the Russo

front for long time. unless you be-

OF heroes on both sides have won fame

nothing finer has been recorded than

Taxed was in command Of the Fukui

Arthur channel. Just before il reached
it's position Il was torpedoed by the
Russians and sunk. Taxed ordered his
men to the boats and they had rowed
some distance away from the doomed
vessel when a boatswain. Sugino. was
missed. He had been killed while in
the hold Of the Fukui Maru preparing
the explosives which were to sink her.
His commander was not aware Of

WHERE BLAME LIES.

IT Is RATHER UNFAIR Of City
School Superintendent Christensen
to place the blame for hoodlunism in
salt Lake on the shoulders of our ju-
ries. Mr.. Christensen, in a talk to the
school principals. declared that the lax
ness of jurors in enforcing the law in
cases where the guilt Of defendants
has been clearly proven weakens char
acter and inculcates in the minds Of
youthful offenders d contempt for the
law. We hardly think the blame lies
with the jurors.
Suppose they did convict in every
case brought before them? Suppose
every boy who broke a pane Of glass
or threw a snowbalT at somebody or
stole fruit out of an orchard or flowers
from a garden were sent to jail?
Would the boys be helped by the as
ISOLATION with older criminals they
would inevitably meet? Would they be
better boys after they we're released
from prison? Would other boys be de-
TERED by their fate from committing
similar offenses?
No, the jurors are not TO be blamed.
They have boys Of their own. often.
Always they were boys once them
selves, and they know how to sympa-
thize with the youngsters and with
their parents. II their hearts were not
soft in such cases they would hardly
be human. The responsibility cannot
be shifted from the place where it
properly belongs. the shoulders of the
parents. If parents will inform them
selves as to the habits Of their sons, if
they insist on knowing what sort OF
company they keep and where they
spend their leisure time. and if TREY
viii see that their boys stay out d
mischief, there viii be much less hood
lumism in Salt Lake City. So

AN UNNECESSARY LAW

T HE BILL for the protection of the
president. the vice president, men,
bers Of the cabinet and foreign diplo-
mats accredited to this country, is
meeting with unexpected opposition in
the senate. The chief objection TO the
bill is that it takes jurisdiction away
from state courts if one of the indi-
viduals named should be killed within
the borders of n state, and turns it
over to the United States courts. The
argument is made, and with all justice.
that the state courts are perfectly
competent to take charge of such
cases.
Three American presidents have died
at the hands of assassins. Two of
them, Lincoln and Garfield, were killed
in Washington, and of course their
murderers were dealt with by the
federal authorities. President Nc
Kinley was killed in Buffalo. His
slayer was tried by state court.
There has never been any criticism of
the manner in which Czolgosz was
treated. He was tried speedily, con-
victed speedily, executed speedily. A
federal court could not have acted with
greater CELEBRITY.
The Herald yields TO no individual or
newspaper in its desire to protect the
president of the United States and
those in line of succession to the presi-
dency from the assassin. 1t seems to
US that there is a lot Of buncombe
are provided for With the exception
of a very few states the man who com
mits a deliberate murder must die, or
be sent to prison for life. 1t is not at
all likely that the lesser penalty would
be imposed under conditions specified
by the bill. In all three Of the presi-
Dental demonstrations the death pen
atty has been imposed.
There is no reason for believing the
temper of the people will ever change.
The president is entitled to protection.
TO all the protection the law can give
him, and so are the minor officers in
line Of succession. 1t may be said that
unless there is q federal statute on the
subject the president and other Of
fcials viii stand on the same plane as
ordinary mortals. Well, they are
ordinary mortals in the sense that
their lives are no dearer 10 them than
is the life of the humblest citizen TO
him.
But humble citizens are often muir
dered. Often their murderers escape
punishment by acquittal Such a
thing could not happen in the case of
the murderer Of a president, If the
| proof We're conclusive.

stepped into his boat and was being
taken away from the wreck when he

Somehow, when we reflect on such
performances as this. war seems almost
worth while. for it brings out the

the character Of men. Taxed Is dead,
but the recollection Of his deed viii live
forever in the minds of his country

them on to great achievements they

Notices have been sent out by
Sheriff Grim notifying witnesses,
grand and petit jurors, who were
served with notices to attend the
December term of court which
convenes Tuesday next, to the
effect that by order of the judge
of the Circuit court there will be
neither petit nor grand jury
convened at this term of court,
and therefore no person summon
ed need attend.
We are not advised as to
why Judge Willis issued this
order, but it s no doubt for good
and just cause. There will be no
jury trials, but all chancery and
other business will be transacted
The next term of court will be IN
February, and next year we have
four terms of the Circuit court
instead of three as we have had
heretofore each year.

No Jury Cases Will be
Heard This Court

Later we learn that the steam
heater that furnishes heat for the
court and jury rooms having
bursted no heat can be had, so Of
necessity no court can be held.
Judge Willis will hold court to
hear motions in Clerk Mayfeld s
office all of next week and as long
as there is any business to trans
act, but no jurors nor witnesses
in any case need attend court. 1t
is said that the steam heater
bursted the Saturday night be-
fore election day while o. w. o.
Hardman was speaking. There is
no direct proof, but the suppose
ton is Oh was telling such whop-
pers and so many of them and
so loud he bursted the steam
heater. We cant vouch for the
truth of this, but the heater is
busted, and so will the court be
next week so far as jury business
! is concerned.
