SALUTARY DOCTRINE.

One Of the most timely decisions
that the II. S. Supreme Court has ever
rendered is that recently handed down
In what Is known as the paper trust
case. 1t states anew and In emphatic
form the law that corporations are not
entitled to the immunity from judicial
inquiry that an individual may justly
plead.
The question arose on the corpora
tion's resistance the demand that their
books and accounts should be brought
into court for the purpose of inquiring
into the facts which they would show.
This resistance is now pronounced by
the Supreme Court to be illegal. 1T
would be an anomaly" says Justice
Brown In delivering the ruling OF the
court, ito hold that the State having
chartered a corpora tion to use certain
franchises could not inquire into their
use and whether they had been abused
and demand the books and papers Of
the corporation for that purpose. AS
the combination OF conspiracies pro-
vided against by the antitrust law can
ordinarily be proved only by the testi-
mony of the parties thereto, the Drivi-
lege of immunity claimed would prac-
tically nullify the whole act OF Con-
gress. OF what use would 1t be for the
Legislature to declare these combina-
tions unlawful il the judicial power
may close the door to every available
source of information on the subject? ?"
That disposes of the matter in pre-
cisely the same way as similar ruling
disposed of the tobacco trust case, and
the same doctrine governs in the beef
trust case, where the defense has
throughout relied upon the contention
of the packers that they We're promised
immunity by an officer of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, and
they have refused to produce their
books and accounts on that illegal
ground.
The decision goes further also and
clears away some fogs from the al
legged immunity of witnesses from OBJ
legation to testify lest their reputation
be damaged. A witness may not plead
and obtain release from the obligation
to testify merely because testifylng
would subject him to obloauy and dis
grace; 'it is not declared" says the
court, that witness may not be
compelled TO testify to evidence which
may impair his reputation for prob.:y
or even tend to disgrace him, but the
line Is drawn at testimony that may
expose him to prosecution" The con-
stitutIonal prohibition simply says,
"Nor shall he be compelled In a crimi-
nal case to be witness against him.

CAUTION is NEEDED,
land.

The movement for civic Improvement
by the good ladies OF this city has
been emphat tically upheld by The
Tribune, and also by all good citizens
1t is a movement within whose posi-
bllities infinite good is lodged. and 1T
should be supported by every we'll
wisher OF this city, on frank and open
lines
The movement has now reached the
critical stage, and great caution is nee
essary IL those excellent citizens who
are In charge OF 1t wish to see 1t made
really useful. 1t would be disastrous
to have the movement turned into po-
litical channels or to put It in charge
or at the service of designing politi-
clans to be used for their own selfish
purposes. The movement should be
kept free from all sinister complica-
tions; nay II must be kept clear of
them, If ii is to receive the support
which it ought to have from all classes
of citizens. 1t should i'm no sense be
allowed TO become a partisan machine,
or even to rest under the suspicion OF
being so, For If 1t does fall under that
odium, then the movement might as
we'll be abandoned at once, for it can
do no possible good. and its failure
after wasteful effort would discourage
the formation of n genuine civic i'm
provemcnt association,
We had the honor yesterday to urge
that the ladies are too altruistic In their
willingness (posslbly we might say ca
gerness) to install man as president
OF their league. We think that one
of the thoroughly competent and zeal
Gus ladies who have carried the move
ment TO It's present promising state
should be the president Of this league
Thus Will the suspicion of political or
partisan bias or design be practically
eliminated, and there would be little
or no danger OF the league being made
a hostile political force, as such, in the
city,
We are urgent In this matter because
there Is danger that with the want of
thoughtful caution the movement may
come to naught, and we want to see 1t
succeed. But 1t is impossible that it
should succeed II 1t Is made over into
q political machine or club, especially
for the opposition parties. or either OF
them

THE CHURCH AND THE COMPACT

| The State of Utah made compact with
| the Nation as n condition OF Statehood
and fulfilled that compact TO the very let
| ter and according TO the spirit OF the
| agreement. The Mormon church wns
! no more n party 10 that compact than
was the Presbyterian church, or the
Methodist church. the Catholic church,
or any other church. the members of
which were citizens of the United states
at the period referred TO.
The foregoing Is q part of lengthy
editorial reply, by the Deseret News,
TO the article published In The Tribune
from the Pittsburg Christian Advocate
and the Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate. anent the case Of Senator Reed
once more TO this old wallow of lies. 1t
takes ono possessed OF either knavery
or treachery or both TO reiterate, as
the News does. the tremendous false
hood. Neither the Presbyterian church.
nor the Methodist church, nor the
Catholic church was on trial; no one
of them had been at war with the
United States; not all Of them together
had antagonized, In Utah. the clv!liza-
ton of this country.
The Mormon church had been COM
PEELED As a result of legislation passed
and the proposal of additional proscrip-
tive legislation, to renounce polygamy
and to pledge itself that ncYermorc
should the offensive practice be en-
couraged protected. or condoned by
the church The manifesto, which In
hibited polygamy, was brought before
the church in semi-annuol general con-
ference and was supported by the
united vote of the body Of the church.
The petition for amnesty, making a
compact with the country for future
authorities of the church officially, and
they used the expression that they were
shepherds of a flock. II Is brutal and
malignant falsehood for the News to
say that no compact was entered into
by the Mormon church any more than
by the Presbyterian church, or Meth
odist church, or Catholic church. Fur
thcrmore. no compact made by the
State with the Nation has been Vio-
lated by the Presbyterian, or Meth
was upon the Mormon or
anization-represented by the hie-
rarchy, who In reality are the church,
and the violations OF the compact have
been deliberately made by them.
The editor of the Deseret News has
been so prone to violation of his own
covenants and has excused himself un-
der q plea of Righteousness so often,
that he is utterly unconscious of the
ethics and the facts In this case.
II 1t were possible TO do so, the man
who utters such falsehoods should be
placed back where he was before the
church made Its compact. He would be
glad again, as he was glad formerly,
to induce the church TO pledge Itself to
the country in order that his precious
skin might be saved. He walks the
streets a free man, although a violator
Of the law, because his church did
make a compact, and he is an migrate
and a traitor because he helps his
church to break that compact.
