? RE DUEL; WHAT IT
WAS, WHAT 1T Is.

A vigorous campaign has been starr.
ed in several European nations against
the duel.
The first step taken everywhere has
ben the formation Of "anti-dueling
clubs. These 'anti-duellng" clubs
have adopted resolutions ana request
ed the governments to help them in
their crusade.
An enterprising newspaper. ia
Vie Hereuse," which in good English
means "The Happy Life after cen
iyncing itself how useless its efforts
were to abolish the barbarouq and out
ofdate custom, addressed this uues-
tion to its readers:
"Are you CT. are you not against
dualling?'
Many thousands have repliea:, but
the answers differ so much that. after
all the time wasted and the trouble
taken. the gentlemen of ''a Vie Here
Use" are as ignorant now as they
were before of what the majority Of
the French think about the matter.
A very interesting detail is that
among those who declare themselves
in favor of the duel are counted many
women
The fair sex of all nations and of
all the times has always admired cour-
age. The Roman circus was the
meeting place of the most distirouish-
ed ladies of the worlds capital, and
the knights of the Middle Ages al
ways fought in the presence of many
hundreds of feminine admirers.
Today women cannot be present at
duels, and they regret it.
But it is not the opinion of women
that we must seek when referring to
duelling. Among other things. be-
cause they cannot be impartial
The reason? Very simple. Because
they do not have to fight themselves.
Ask the men what they think of 60
ing to the field of honor" and if
they are satisfied with the existence
of the ancient custom, that it is the
best way of settling all questions
honorably.
Ask them if they would fight duel
themselves, and their reply will be:
"Why, of course!'
But if you address the same ques-
ton to the same men on the eve of
an actual duel, they will not be so
snaguine
Duelling, as it now exists, is stupid.
In former days it was natural and
i. ejcal.
The gentlemen of today do not carry
weapons, wf:::7 QUE anee ,uols were
e,med to the tea'a.
"A deep insult by a man with
sword at his 81 IL to another man also
armed with good rapier was natural
ly followed by thrust. The offense
Was avenged on The spot.
But today. when a man carrying an
Umbrella slaps the face of another
man carrying walking cane. there is
no reason why the Offended party
should hand his card to his assailant
and make arrangements to fight him,
two or three days later, with pistol
or sword.
In the ancient duels there were at
least some excuses: That they were
impromptu, that the combatants
fought while excited, that they did
net plan, coldly and deliberately (as
the modern duellists do to kill their
adversary.

EOR THE BENEFIT Of the states

morrow. we paraphrase the twelfth
verse of the twelfth chapter of Ecclesi-
ates to read:
And further, by these. brethren. be
admonished: Of making many laws
there is no end. and many statutes are
a WEAKNESS OF the flesh"
Montague said in one of his essays
that it is better 10 have no laws at ali
than to have too many This is putting
the case rather strongly, but certain
~ IL is possible 10 have a great many
more laws than we really need. We
have no doubt that practically every
member Of the legislature, and espe-
cially is this true OF the new members.
has bundle OF laws already drafted or
mapped out in his mind. He honestly
believes these laws are absolutely nee
essary to the well being of the COM
InOnwealth and he viii be surprised at
the opposition that will develop.
Now if we had 20 choose between the
adoption of all the measures that will
be proposed at the coming session and
the adjournment Of the legislature after
passing the necessary appropriation
bills and the election Of a United States
senator. we would unhesitatingly Sc
lect the latter. We might even be will
ing to dispense with the election of a
senator. or at least to postpone it until
such time as a Democrat can be chosen.
However, as we are not to be given our
choice. we must content ourselves with
a few words Of caution and adnnoni-
ton.
1t has been said that the best way
TO secure the repeal OF a bad law IS
10 enforce it vigorously. But the en-
forcement of a bad law entails no end
of hardship on citizens who are at
fected by it. The safest plan is 10 keep
bad laws of the statute books. And
the only way to keep them off is TO
scrutinize every measure with the
greatest care. to give them the widest
possible publicity, 70 argue them out
antiI no further argument is possible.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-01-08

One of the most prolific sources of
bad legislation is the habit OF trading
votes For example: A legislator from
Utah county is deeply interested in
bin that will be OF benefit to mis- con-
stituency. A colleague from Weber
county is extremely anxious to secure
the passage of asl act that will help
him at home. The Utah county man
goes 10 the Weber county man and
agrees to- vote for the Weber county
measure in exchange for vote foI. the
Utah county bill. The merits of the
respective propositions do not enter
into the case at all. Both bills are
passed; both may be good, both may
be bad, but if they are good the trad
ing legislators are not entitled 10 the
credit.
Every bill should stand or fail on its
own merits or dement's. No member
should vote for measure because he
hopes thereby TO win votes for bill of
his own. If he is not thoroughly salts
fed that it is right and proper he
should vote against it. Otherwise he
violates his oath of office.
The Herald hopes there VIII be much
in the work of the new legislature to
commend. We would far rather praise
than blame. Therefore. in the lam
guage of the farmer with the mule in
the colored supplement, we say to the
solons:
Boys, better be keerful."

f THERE IS ONE. ordinance the po-
lice can afford 10 forget about it is
the measure which prohibits the use
OF sidewalks for coasting purposes.
Seems TO US that it is a mighty mean
man or woman who objects to seeing
the youngsters blithely skimming by
his or her premises on flexible flyers
and other devices for getting over Il
downgrade on the snow. As far as we
know nobody has been killed or even
seriously hurt on any sidewalk this
winter by sled.
The boys and girls always give us
plenty of time to get out of the way.
Do they not invariably shout
''Tra-a-ack?" II we don't make tracks
for the curb or the property line when
we hear that call it's our own fault il
we are run down. We don't want to be
understood as depriving pedestrians Of
all their rights. They have a few, true
enough. but the small coaster should
have the right of way.
It hasn't been a great while since
some of US were boys and girls our
selves. Don't you remember how you
enjoyed coasting? Remember what
fun it was to go sailing down the hill
with rosy-cheeked girl behind you on
the sled? Her arms, perhaps, were
around your neck, not, of course, by
way of giving a public demonstration
of her affection for you, but merely in
order to keep from falling off. But you
liked the feel of the arms around your
neck. you rascal, and your chest bulged
at the thought that you We're protect
ing Her. If you have now reached the
point where you believe children have
no right to coast on the sidewalks it
is a sure sign that you are growing
old.
The Objectionable feature of coast
ing TO our notion, is the fact that
wherever there are car tracks there is
danger to the children. 1t is a great
pity that the NEST alIuring of our hills
are so situated that in order to enjoy
them thoroughly it is necessary 10
cross street car tracks at full speed.
Several fatal accidents have been
caused in former years by col
lisions between coasters and street
cars. We would enjoin parents to DE
watchful in this regard, to see that
their children are not coasting across
any tracks.
AS for the rest, let the police forget
the ordinance. except when their atten-
ton is Enthusiastically called to it by
