the gradual introduction Of machinery
the business grew, until about 1884 he

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered q most important
decision that will probably have
bearing upon the anti-jug law and
like police legislation. 1t upheld the
Iowa Anti-Cigarette law, affirming the
decision of the Supreme Court of Iowa.
The cigarettes sold We're shipped into
the State in small pasteboard boxes.
and the contention was made that in
enforcing the law the State authorities
were interfering with interstate COM
merce.
The opinion was delivered by JUS
tice Brown, who said:
While this court has been alert TO
protect the rights of nonresident citi-
zens, and has felt it its duty, not al
ways with the appreciation of the State
courts, to declare the invalidity of
laws throwing obstacles in the way of
free intercourse and communication be-
tween States, it will not lend its sane
tion to those who set out deliberately
to debauch the public conscience and
to trample upon the laws OF a State.
1.-The power of Congress TO regulate
commerce is undoubtedly beneticent
L
usually so, and it is our duty to har-
monte them. Undoubtedly q law may
sometimes be successfully and legally
avoided, if not evaded, but it behooves
one who stakes his case upon the let
ter of the Constitution not to be wholly
oblivious TO its spirit. In this case We
cannot hold that plaintiffs are entitled
to its immUnities without striking a
serious blow at the rights of the States
to administer their own internal af-
fairs"
This decision will almost surely lead
up to like decision with reference
to State anti-jug laws, for if State
can prevent the bringir~ in cigarettes
in the exercise of its police regulation
it can also prevent the bringing in
of whiskey jugs and the Hepburn bill
now pending in Congress will not be
necessary. A State ought to be able
10 control the importation of cigar
cites. and whiskey, under its police
laws and Judge Browns decision in
dicate3 that the Supreme Court is
looking in that direction.

HALL OF RECORDS NEEDED.

To the Editor: The recent recon-
mendatiOn of Governor AycOck in his
message, and the suggestion of the
Secretary of State in his report. that
that State erect q fireprOof building IN
which to store the valuable documents.
manuscripts newspapers, etc, is both
opportune and of utmost Importance,
and well worth the consideration of
our legislators. That there is need of
such building will impress itself upon
any member of the assembly who will
take the trouble to investigate for
himself, especially one who might feel
interested IN the events Of the past.
AS a statement of facts is necessary
TO those who may be ignorant of them
we will say that at present for the
want of more room, valuable docu-
ments and records are reposing in
rented quarters. in several different
places in the city, insecure, damp and
not fireproof and at a yearly rental of
$S91.75.
Whereas, could the State borrow the
amount of $4,000, at four per cent
interest, this would save this yearly
rental, besides the State would be the
owner of it's own property, and the
annual rental now paid would pay in
the interest on the money borrowed.
AS has been recommended by the
Governor, the State owns a valuable
lot opposite the southwest corner of
Capitol Square which has been pur-
chased for the erection of an armOry,
but for which for want of sufficient
appropriation has never been utilized
for the purpose.
This building could be made of
sufficient size for the armoTy to oc-
cupy the first floor-a building about
the size of the Olivia Raney Library
would answer the purpose as armory
Hall of Records. One floor should
be accorded to the use of the various
historical societies of the State.
The last Legislature created His
torical Commission, whose business is
to collect rolls, records, etc, yet no
provision was made for a room or
office for said commission. 1t seems
reasonable and right that in consider
ation of the work the commission is
doing, and all other Historical organi-

"WHAT AILS THIS TOWN."

What ails this town." asks the Salt
Lake Tribune.
Four years ago it was all right.
Then all was harmony. The com
munity of interest" cemented by
Thomas Kearns for the Silver King
crowd and Lorenzo W. Snow, for the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, insured peace prosperity and
contentment. Thomas Kearns had
bought the Salt Lake Tribune through
stealth and subterfuge from Pat Lam
nan and fired c. G. Goodwin, who, as
editor, had for years been a thorn in
the Mormon side; and had imported
Perry Heath, secretary of the Repub-
lican national committee, as his bust
ness and political manager. The Trib-
une was transformed into a Mormon
supporter, and Kearns went out of his
way to supply Federal appointments
| to Mormon constituents. Nothing
could seem sweeter or more harmoni-
GUS in Utah than the amalgamation of
political, religious and financial inter-
ests represented by Kearns, Snow and
Company. Governor Wells, who had
already been associated with .Kearns
through the Grand Central and Big
Indian mines, eagerly entered into the
new combine; indeed, if rumor is
onel Nelson, loyal to his job" COM
menced writing pro-Mormon editor
ials with the same devotion that he
had formerly evolved anti-Mormon
editorials under the Lannan regime
All went merry as a marriage bell.
| Nothing allied this town; it was the
golden age for Salt Lake and Utah.
The few business men here not allied
with the Silver King or the church
"cut no ice, nohow" George Suther-
land member of congress from Utah,
an off-oX, was openly ignored and
snubbed. "a congressman is only a
mucker, anyway" observed the cru
dite Kearns.
| What ails this town? Alas, for hui
man calculations, ''the best laid plans
O. mice and men gang aft aglee." In
four short years the sweet strain of
harmony has turned to discord; the
religious interests as represented by
Lorenzo Snow have dissolved with
the money power as represented by
Thomas Kearns; the Tribune has
Hoped back to rabid anti-Mormon
propaganda without the sincerity that
guided it under Lannan and Goodwin;
and Kearns has made the record of
being the only man who, on the floor
of the United States senate, ever de.
famed and besmirched the state from
which he derived his honor.
What ails this town? Let us dag
nose the trouble:
First, Lorenzo Snow, who controlled
the church side of of Kearns, Snow &
Co., died. His successor declined to
continue the partnership
Second, Marcus A. Hanna died, Ieav.
ing his protege, Perry Heath, to ex-
posture through the ruthless search
