JEROME BACKS DOWN.

After INDUCING in a good deal of talk
about how he was going to prosecute
the life insurance officials who gave
money to Republican campaign funds,
District Attorney Jerome now an
nounces that he has been unable to find
a statute against the practice. There
fore. he viii start no prosecutions. His
attitude serves as a reminder of the
California justice of the peace who de-
clined to hold a defendant for killing
Chinaman on the ground that there was
nothing in the California statutes that
prohibited the killing of Chinese.
Mr.. Jerome's opinion will probably
have the effect of stopping the proposed
suits against the life Insurance men to
recover the money unlawfully diverted
from the poiicy-holders to the cam
paign treasures. There may not be
any law against the practice, that is,
any Specific law, but it is a curious pro-
cedure for the prosecution to give out
the first information on the subject. 1t
is not hard to reach a reduetio ad alb
surdum in this argument.
If 1t is not unlawful for insurance Of
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-03-21

ficiais to give money that does not be-
long to them TO campaign managers,
is it unlawful for them to give money
to whomsoever they please? And does
not the same rule apply to all corpora
tons? In other words, If Mr.. Jerome's
theory is correct, A, b and c might
organize a corporation and A might
give all the money to D without fear Of
prosecution. It must follow that If A
could loot the corporation treasury for
a Republican or a Democratic, a POpu-
list or a Socialist campaign, he could
loot it for the benefit of his friend D.
And s and c have no recourse.
Without pretending to any knowledge
of the law, it would seem that the
common sense view of the matter is OPP
posite to Mr.. Jerome's view. The ordi-
nary Iayman viii always believe that
Mr.. Jerome should have prosecuted the
life insurance men and then, If court
or a jury had decided that they could
not be punished, his duty would have
been done. As the matter stands there
will always be a suspicion that, in spite
of his fine promises, he really did not
want to press the cases.

TRADEMARK LAW.

The Herald has received from one of
ats business friends a request that It
support a bill now before congress MAX
ing imitation trademarks a penal Of
Tense punishable by 1900 fine or inn
prisonment for two years, or both. The
law will. of course, apply only TO arti-
cIes of interstate commerce.
While intentional imitation of a
trademark is commercial piracy of the
meanest kind it seems to us there is a
chance for abuse Of such a law as the
one proposed which should call for the
most careful consideration. A case in
point which is a matter of record in
the federal district court Of Indiana,
shows that imitation Of a well known
brand may be an entirely innocent vio-
lation of such a law as the one pro-
posed. Two manufacturers Of an aTti-
Gle of food were using almost identical
brands. Both brands carried the figure
of white swan The design was en-
closed in a circular border with numer-
Gus identical figures; the only differ
ence was in the colors used and the d.
mansions Of the figures.
One Of the concerns copyrighted the
label. which was the first intimation the
other had of any similarity in the two
trade marks. A civil suit followed and
after litigation extending over some
years. the firm which had copyrighted
the label was held to be the infringer.
The hearing developed the fact that at
least a dozen other concerns had used
or we're using much the same design for
the same class of manufactures, though
there was a wide difference in the
grades of the articles sold Evidently
st would have been a bitter injustice
to permit criminal prosecution for imi-
tatiou in this case; and If the defend
ant had been poor and unable to get a
proper defense in the courts, the law
could have been perverted to become
an agency of oppression.
Another thing; the proposal to con-
centrate authority in the hands of fed
eral authorities and minimize the rights
of individual states has reached the
stage where some limit should be de-
fined The interstate clause of the con-
stitutiOn whereby congress is given au-
thority 10 regulate commerce between
the states was not intended TO offer an
excuse for the extension Of federal
power into the states I'm every depart
ment of activity. It was meant pTi-
marty to prevent the levying of duties
on articles in transit from one state to
another. to establish a uniformity Of
relations between the states and foreign
countries, TO afford free passage Of COM
modities and persons from one part of
the country to another. 1t has been
made the pretext for a Capitalization of
power which was not intended by the
trainers Of the constitution and would
not have been granted by the original
states which formed the nation.
The civil law affords a remedy for
imitation of trade marks by suit for
damages and not many cases have been
found where an imitatOr could continue
the practice without suffering for it and
being stopped by injunction If the
law proposed is considered at all, it
should only be passed after an Oppor-
tunity to hear all sides of the question
involved.

A coWARDLY GRAND JURY.

Down in Kentucky a grand jury has
just filed its report with the circuit
court. It was a most diligent grand
quired into and a number of indict-
ments found The most interesting fea-
ture of the report, however, was this:
ut has been brought 10 our notice
that many of our citizens are indulg
ing in card playing, commonly known
as progressive euchre, in their parlors,
in which games for prizes are played
by those engaged. At these
meetings not only are prizes played for,
but also persons are taught TO play
cards, and all contend for the objects IN
the same manner and zeal as is used in
the common gambling rooms. We see
no difference between playing for a
piece of silver moulded in the shape of
money and silver moulded in the shape
Of a cup or thimble- We condemn the
practice as a reflection upon good NOR
ais and Christianity. and also viola
ton of the statutes, as, we believe,
against gambling
the grand jurors, and with their unani-
nous belief that playing progressive
euchre for prizes is against the peace
and dignity of the great state Of Ken
lucky and against the statutes in su n
case made and provided, it seems sin
gular that indictments were not re-
turned against the card players. None
was returned, no, not one. And that IS
where the grand jurors displayed what
is described in sporting circles as "a
yellow streak" In other words, they
did not have the courage of their coli-
victions, or rather, the courage to en-
deavor TO bring about the conviction Of
others. The report continues:
I'VE therefore recommend that the
Judge of this court instruct the next
grand jury convened in this county to
investigate closely and indict those who
persist in this violation of law"
Everything. it will be seen, is passed
along to the next grand jury. If that
body indicts the good women of the
county for playing progressive euch-e
for prizes. then on the shoulders of lis
members will fall much indignant re-
proof: if unpopularity is a result of the
action. the unpopularity will not have
to be borne by the members of III"
grand jury just adjourned, for by the
time the next grand jury meets the rec
concentrations herein set forth will
have been forgotten. along with the
names Of the men who made it Shame
on them! They lack a good deal Of he
ing an honor TO their state.
