Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-01-12

The bill for the creation of state
railroad commission will of course
come up and will be bitterly fought
The forces, however, arrayed against
a commission are so potent that there
is little LIKELIHOOD of such a measure
passing either house, no matter how
much it might be needed
A bill which should receive favora-
BILE consideration is that to be intro
duced creating a state insurance de-
partment. 1t is simple matter, free
from all politics and matter which

1t is within the range of possibility
that the state Supreme court may find
that the law as it now stands creating
he juvenile court is unconstitutional.
If such be the case the legislature
should make such changes as may be
necessary to make the act comply
with the constitution. The juvenile
court is good and useful institution
1t has already done much real good
and should be maintained.

is absolutely untrue. Moses was the
first to call the Children of Israel
sons of God (Deut xiv. y. The
prophets later did the same thing
(see lisa. xiii. 8, i. s; Jer xxi. 20:
Hos. Xi. 10, also i. 10; Ps. ii. y. The
rabbis state that every Jew has
right to call himself a son of God
(Siphri Raeh, 3d."
With all these admissions and add
tons Rabbi Drucker still demurs to
the illogical inference drawn by Mr.
Dorm that the Jews were responsible
for the condemnation of Jesus" and
he further proposes to support his de-
murrer by proofs taken from his op
ponent's allegations. He writes:
Since the procedure, the charges,
and the conviction were not in accord
ance with Jewish jurisprudence, Jesus
could not have been judged by a Jew
sh tribunal, but some other authority,
which Mr.. Dorm seems to know very
little about. Who this tribunal was

THAT the ex-high priest, Annas, and
his son-in-law, Caiaphas, were the
prosecutors, is an additional proof
that the mass of the people were not
against Jesus. Every tyro in Jewish
history knows of the hatred the Jews
bore to this family for its Herodian
sympathy. Caiaphas specially was
looked upon as the hireling and spy
of Rome. The rabbis say the whole
family were wicked and corrupt
(Tal. Bav. Yoma, ga; Jer. Paoh. 6. u.
Caiaphas acted not as representa-
tive of the Jews and in their behalf,
but in his own interest and as a rep
resentative of Rome. He had a per-
sonal grudge against Jesus for driv-
ing out the money-changers from tho
Temple court. 1t was Caiaphas who
first allowed these money-changers to
do business in the Temple court for a
certain sum of money each merchant
paid to him. He was therefore very
much incensed and offended at the
action of Jesus. He could do nothing
against him openly, for the fear of
the people, He therefore had to

acted as the representative of Rome,
for he was more of Roman than a
Jew, more of spy than high
priest eBsides it was for his inter-
est that the Roman rule was not dis
turbed. For not only was he held
responsible for every outbreak or riot,
but he knew only too well the hatred
of the Jews toward him and his faith
er-in-law. Well did he know that he
would have to leave Jerusalem, to-
gether with his protectors, the Ro-
mans, had the Jews succeeded in the
overthrow of Rome. He acted there

of the Jews, whose hatred he knew,
but for his own benefit, and for that

JEWS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
"LYNCHING" OF JESUS.

Many works besides the mastery
one from Professor Rosadi Created in
he Literary Digest, May 6, 1900 have
dealt with the illegality of the trial
of Jesus. These have usually pro-
ceeded from lawyers who have their
legal acumen in kind of tour de
farce. Now comes communication,
printed in The American Hebrew,
Cincinnati, December 2O), from the
pen of Rabbi A. p. Rrucker, of Wood
vile, Miss, admitting that Caiaphas
did Illegally put Jesus to death, but
declaring that Caiaphas was not 10y

Roman spy, and ito hold the Jews

Jew can still maintain that the
case is not made out against him. The
rabbi, abiding to a Christian writer
named as Mr.. Dorm, whose charges of
the illegality of the trial of Jesus had
appeared in The Register and Leader
(Des Moines, la, is willing to admit
even more than is charged. Thus:
I'VE can admit, from Jewish point
of view, the account of the trial of
Jesus in the New Testament to be
perfectly correct. We can admit also
the truth of the contention that the
trial was mockery, the procedure
not in accordance with the Jewish Gus
toms, and it's decision a travesty of
Justice. In fact l could point out a
few more illegalities committed at the
trial which Mr. Dorm did not state

high priest.

Maimon. Holiday Laws, 81, but, what
was worse, he violated the strict Bib.

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

IGSI0GN 1--WE SOo0IT.
The members of the legislature are
arriving in town in anticipation of the
opening of the session next Monday.
Saturday evening the republicans,
who compose nearly the whole mem
bership of both houses will hold eau
Gus to decide on organization, officers,
etc.
1t seems to be pretty well settled
that Wesley X. Walton will be pres
ident of the senate. Messrs. Love and
Lawrence are not making any effort
for the place, probably because they
realize that neither of them can get
it however much they might want it.
Harry S. Joseph will undoubtedly
be the speaker of the house. He is
fully entitled to the honor and the
members generally realize that fact.
He was true to the republican party
when a good many others who pride
themselves on their republicanism,
deserted and joined the nondescript
concern which arrogated to itself the
name American-although it is the
most un-American institution magma
BILE. Mr.. Joseph has had to contend
with unfair methods arrayed against
him which are reprehensible in any
walk of life, business, social or politi-
CAL but he has combatted the opposi
ton so far successfully. A dead set"
is being made on him on religious
grounds because he is Hebrew and
his opponents are making most of
that unreasonable prejudice, but it
won't work. The others who are seek
ing the honor of speaker are G. e
Marks of Mill Creek and Orville
Thompson of Willard county.
For sargeant-at-arms of the senate
the candidates are Major H. P. Myton
and Edgar S. Urry Mr.. Myton seems
to be the favorite. Urry will probably
however, receive some other appoint
ment.
w. E. Vigus will probably receive
the appointment of clerk to the house,
age and H. l.. Cummings will likely be
Secretary to the senate.
Rev. p. A. Simpkins in all porbabili
ty will be chaplain to the senate and
Elder Fred Lewis of Spanish Fork
will likely be chosen to pray for tie
house.
O. B. Nichols friends think he
would make an excellent messenger
to carry things from the governor and
to the legislature and from the legis
lature to the governor. Two messen-
gers are needed for this service and
Ounce will probably be one of them.

The proposed measure for the crea
ton of a police and fire commission
for cities of the first and second class
will no doubt come up early in the
session. 1t, however, will be proceed
ed by bill making Salt Lake City a
county by itself and creating a new
county out of the rest of the territory
which now constitutes the county of
Salt Lake. A measure of this kind
would save the people the expense of
one set of officials. Now we have one
for the county and another set for the
city when one set would be sufficient.
This would save Salt Lake City prob
ably $150000 per annum. If Salt Lake
city were made county by itself it
would also settle affirmatively the
question of the constitutionality of the
proposed act creating police and fire
commission and taking those deDart-

MIX CONSCIENCE WITH BRAINS.

Is 1t asking too much Of the legal
profession to adopt higher standard
of ethics and mix conscience with
brains. is question raised by Justice
Brewer of the United States supreme
court in an address recently delivered
by him before tine Society of Ethical
Culture in New York city. He begge !
the lawyers to quit the service of the
law dodgers and pleaded for a higher
standard of ethics In the legal profess
sion.
Here is a line of thought that has
often occurred to the laymen: but one
seldom voiced in the ranks of the pro-
fesion. The gist of the discussion Is
that legal talent is too many times
employed in enabling dishonest men
to evade the laws. This phase of the
matter is alone responsible for the as
sertion that rich men find it easy to
escape penalties for attractions of the
the laws that poor men suffer for Th,,
reason is that rich men can readily
buy brains untrammelled with con-
science Hence 1t is that the profess
sion often suffers wrongful criticism
In the words of Justice Brewer:
as 1t strange that there should be
so much criticism of the bar? We
must remember that the wisdom of the
iawmaker can never keep pace with
the ingenuity of tained minds seeking
to evade limitations. The old saying
that holes may be found in every law
means simply that an ingenious law
yer can often find either In the stat
ute itself or in the mode of enforce
ment some way to escape its penal
ties.
TT is this that provokes the frequ-
emit remarks that the law seldom
reaches the rich. for the rich can pay
for the brainest, and the brainest can
most certainly and quickly discover
the means of evasion. AS against this
] appeal for higher standard of eth
les. appeal to every lawyer to put
his heart along side his head and mix
his conscience with his brains. Let
him have the courage to say to his
client 'It may be legal but it is dis
honest. and will have nothing to do
with IT. Is this asking too much of
the profession?"

brand, or win he really represent the
state in the senate? 1t is too much to
hope for everything. and perhaps the
rest of the country should rest con-
tent with the political slaughter of one
boss. even though it means bosshood
in some other If less Objectionable type.
A great step in the right direction has
been taken and the people, once they
realize the machinery of government
can be theirs If the only seize it; the
