THE coAsTINe DANGER.

The death Of a boy under the wheels
Of street car yesterday morning
while he was coasting serves to call
attention again to the dangers of the
practice. Every winter yields its vic
tins to this form of sport. It is too
late now to save the poor boy who lost
his life yesterday. It is too late to
check the tide OF grief that has risen
in the hearts of those. who loved him.
But IT is not too late to save other
boys, to prevent other sorrows.
We believe there is an ordinance
which prohibits coasting in the city
It is necessary to enforce this only on
streets where the coasters cross the
street car tracks. It should be en-
forced, if it is necessary, in doing so,
to press into service every policeman
on the force Boys viii be boys, of
course. They will take chances in the
enjoyment Of their sports. They must
be prevented. however, from taking
the hair-raising chances involved in
coastiug across street car tracks.
Only absolute prohibition can &C
compHsh this result. A boy on a fast
moving sled has no chance 10 avoid a
street car. The 1nOtorman- has no
chance TO avoid the boy. The sled and
the car are in collision in the twfnkIing
OF an eye, and the result is nearly al
ways death to the boy. We would not
have the boys turned into jailbirds be-
cause they indulge in the innocent
pastime of coasting. Therein lies the
difficulty of a law on the subject, for
to secure enforcement Of a law a pen
atty should be attached to violations.
The penalty in this instance, though,
need not be severe. A trip to the po-
lice station and a warning from the
judge would, in most cases, be entire
" effective. If this remedy viii not
do, some other must be found

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The decision of the supreme court Of
the United States in the case of James
Howard, convicted of completely in the
murder of Governor Goebel Of Ken
lucky and sentenced TO life imprison-
ment, is Of far-reaching Importance.
The court holds that there was no error
in the trial of Howard. and the subse-
quent proceedings in The Kentucky
court of appeals sufficient to warrant
the highest tribunal in assuming juris-
diction by ordering a new trial in a
federal court.
AS in the Powers case, for the same
murder, Towards attorneys claimed
that the supreme court should assume
Jurisdiction because the rights Of the
defendant under the fourteenth amend
ment to the national constitution had
not been properly conserved. Irregu-
larities in the summoning and discharg-
ing of jurors were alleged. The su-
preme court found nothing of the sort
had been done, except with the explicit
consent of counsel for the defendant.
The law as laid down by the court is
so clear, so admirable that we quote:
"Our inquiry can only be, did the
state law as applied afford plaintiff in
error (Howard) due process as those
words were used in the fourteenth
amendment. We think it did. >
Il may be admitted that the words, due
process of law as used in the four
teenth amendment, protect fundamen-
tai rights. What those are cannot ever
be the cause of much dispute. In Civ
ing them protection, however, it was
not designed to interfere with
the power of the state to protect the
lives, liberty and property of its citi-
zens; nor with the exercise of that
power in the adjudication Of the courts
Of the state in administering the pro-
cess provided by the law of the state"
The principle that the United States
courts have no right to interfere with
the trial Of criminals by state courts.
unless the rights of defendants have
been obviously and grossly overthrow,
is here laid down with emphatic clarity.
There can. be no two Interpretations of
the decision. Yet a 7federaf court has as
sumed jurisdiction of the Powers case
under conditions precisely similar TO
those of the Howard case.
It is quite possible that a jury in this
court will set Powers, a four-times-
convicted murderer, free. And if it
does the state will have no recourse.
for there is no appeal for the prosecu-
ton in a criminal case.

DEMOCRATS GAIN POM

City's Free Tele-

Logan, Jan. 4.-The new city council
held its first regular meeting last night
and it proved to be quite a lively one,
a tilt occurring between the Democrats
and Republicans over the distribution Of
/ free eIGDhOnes. The city has twenty
two free phones. and twenty-one of them
Were being used by Republican members,
The democrats entered a vigorous pro
! test against this and finally secured an
equitable division.

Mayor Robinson's message was brief.
It recommended the immeC-ate con-

fOrcement of the license ordinance, the
fighting of suits filed against the city
where evidences of champerty exist, and
a general cleaning of the city's streets
and walks.
In the appointment of committees this
year the Republicans punished Council
man J. w. Crawford. Congressman How
ellis business partner, for refusing to
sign a report of the condition of the
municipal power plant, which the mayor
presented to the council a short time
ago, by dropping him from the electric
light committee the most important
committee of the council. In his place
was put Evans a Democrat, so that the
committee now consists of two Demo-
Gratis and two Republicans.

TO GET OUTSIDE CAPITAL.

OF more than ordinary interest was
the communication of Beresford Hope
representative of a British mining syn
dicate, to The Herald. Mr. Hope thinks
that too much money is being invested
by British syndicates in China, in
Japan, in South Africa and other
places. a large proportion of this cap
itaI could, he believes, be diverted to
the United States and to Utah. The 10
cal field is particularly attractive to
Mr. Hope, for he sees its great posi-
bilities.
One great advantage possessed. by
this state is, as Mr.. Hope points out,
the fact that it has very rarely been the
scene Of wildcat" operations. As a
rule, mining investments made here by
outside capitalists have been remark
ably remunerative. It is quite true that
many enterprises have failed and in
the aggregate considerable money has
been lost. But that has not been the
fault Of the promoters. They have
honestly believed they had the genuine
goods before they sold them.
This reputation for fair dealing is Of
mesttmable value to the state and
nothing should be done or be permitted
that would in any way tend to place il
in jeopardy. Mr.. Hope says that if
Utah's advantages were properly pre-
sented in London and other European
money centers there would be no trou-
bic IN securing a large influx of cap
itaL In his opinion our great trouble
has been that we have not in our own
minds had the clear idea of our posi-
bilities that is necessary to a presenta-
ton Of them to those not familiar with
the subject. Many a good PROPOSE
ton" says Mr.. Hope "is unintention-
ally. presented with all the earmarks of
s'get-rich-quiek' vendor or something
for-nothing' scheme"
There is no getting away from this
proposition. We are not business-Iike
enough in our methods. Mining in this
sttIe is as legitimate an industry as is
the manufacture of shoes in Massacbu-
setts or Of cotton cloth in Rhode Island
There is no sentiment in it any longer.
and there should be none. Nobody is
going to invest in a mine unless il is
reasonably clear to him that he is to
receive Something besides a handsome
" engraved stock certificate for his
money.
Let us, as. Mr., Hope suggests, fortify
ourselves with plain facts, with solid
business talk and then 90 forth seeking

THE STATEHOOD MEASURE.

The announcement published yester-
day that the Republican leaders in the
house of representatives are deter
mined to push the joint statehood bill
to a vote, probably on Wednesday of
next week, goes to show that the peO-
PIE Of the territories are going to get
not what they want, but what con-
gress chooses to give them. That Ari-
IONA does not want statehood coupled
with New Mexico has been demon
stated time and time again. One Of
the latest presentations of Arizona s
position comes from Edward n. Buck
of Bisbee.
Mr.. Buck says, in part:
The truth Of this controversy is
that the people Of Arizona-and when
we say the people we mean the voters
and taxpayers, whether they be Demo-
Gratis. Republicans or Populists, red,
white or black, capitalist or pauper-
are opposed to joint statehood because
they see the political submergence of
Arizona in a New Mexico tidal wave
of ignorant voters, half of whom can
not even speak the English language
and all of whom are voted at the die
tatfon of a few bosses Union under
such circumstances is not marriage,
but iscegenatiOn-with Arizona Of
fered a half-breed groom.
ct Is at least significant that out
of about thirty publications in Arizona
all but four are UnaIterably opposed to
joint statehood, favoring territorial
government Indefinitely rather than
statehood in such form. And the popu-
lation stands in about the same pre-
portion. This is the raw, cold
bIooded fact, whether palatabIe or
not"
In view of this and other state
ments that have come from Arizona,
the question naturally arises: Why
are the Republicans determined to
force joint statehood with New Mexico
upon that territory? Is it because they
love the New Mexicans so much? If
this is true. then let them give New
Mexico single statehood and leave Ari-
zcna out for the present That pro-
cedure would De infinitely more ac-
ceptable to Arizona than the present
plan.
The real truth undoubtedly is that
the Republicans. knowing Arizona to
be normally Democratic, do not want
two new Democratic senators. Sc, re-
CARELESS of all ether considerations,
Arizona is to be forced into The union
with New Mexico or left out entirely

need of agitation to counteract the ener-
getic work of the restrictive immigra-
ton forces.
The immigration Committee pre-
sented report Of delegation, represent
ing various nationalities, which was ar
ranged by the Liberal immigration
League and the Jewish Federation to
visit Ellis Island on the 4th inst. The
delegation was received by Commis-
sioner Watchorn, Edward Lauterbach
acting as spokesman. Mr.. Lauterbach
in addressing Mr.. Watchorn wanted to
know in what way it could assist him
towards procuring an appropriation by
Congress to facilitate accommodations
and improve the conditions Of those de-
tained at Ellis Island In reply the
commissioner said in part: lowing to
lack Of facilities, newly arriving immi-
grants on the Island, including women
and children, are compelled to walk up
and down forty stairs with baggage in
hand. The appropriation made by Con-
gress does not allow to employ sufficient
help There are five dining rooms with
capacity Of seating 72O, and in order
to feed all immigrants seven sittings are
necessary, the last sitting for midday
lunch taking place after three o clock. y
The committee found the dormitories for
the immigrants awfully inadequate. In
rooms with place for hardly fifty per-
sons to sleep $50 are crowded. The
committee reports that sleeping accom-
modations for prisoners are much super
ior to that of Ellis Island. The report
also complained about the handling OF
baggage on the Island and the great
lack of washing facilities for detained
immigrants The commissioner inn
pressed upon the Committee that it
would be humane for all in this country
to write their relatives intending to come
here that no one suffering from ira
choma will be allowed to enter this

having affected large number Of Jew
