DANGEROUS MERCY.

A New York woman afflicted by IN
durable cancer, and dying many deaths
| in every day of her waiting horror,
/ begged her daughter for a potion which
/ should carry her into the dreamless
sleep of death.
Overwrought by years of watching
the agony of her beloved mother, the
younger woman consented, and now
she is charged as matricide.
Painful as is every feature of this
appalling case, the great shock which
comes TO the Nation arises from the
calm approval by some Of the most dis
tingulshed journals of the country Of
tho daughter IS act, and from the as
sertion of the principle that if the law
will not authorize physicians TO prac-
tice euthanasia, n medical man should
be supported by society if he take to
himself the sovereign power and ad-
minister death TO spare incurables from
continued and hopeless pain.
There are some ideas which, reason
able in themselves, are yet To be OPP
posed because inevitably in their train
they bring unrcason. This is one whose
dangers must be apparent TO every
thinking man II we were so perfect in
our Judgment that euthanasia could be
the portion only of incurables, whose
miSerlcs are past the bearing by their
fortitude, and whose lives have ceased
TO be Of value to themselves or society
,,,, q ..L. L.
sured that there would never be
mistake and that advantage would
never be taken OF the permission which
law or social ethics might extend to
the medical fraternity; perhaps Legs-
latures and communities might consent
But when one realizes that if society
shall confer upon physician the right
to administer death upon his judgment,
we are merely weakening the already
fragile defense which stands between
the individual and erroneous Judgment,
hysteria, or even vengeance, society
must pause in solemn assurance that
the dangers TO be incurred are far
greater than the evil 10 be remedied.
- 'h' th' ihict'l VI 'ht lh'u' dblt
at the jeopardy of other lives is
contemplation from which the sensitive
and responsible soul shrinks in alright,
There are some sufferings which are
inevitable under the violated laws of
nature. Into the mystery which lies
beyond we have no right to plunge a
human soul, even though actuated by
the sublime and pathetic instinct Of
the creature from continuing
human agony.
Nature ends the tragedy in her own
way at her own time. To hasten her
decree-and the suggestion
of legal euthanasia is only for cases
where death is already inevitable-is to
assume to ourselves an authority from
which even the strongest materialst
must recoil.

SMITH CHALLENGES.

Mr. Joseph F, Smith, president of the
Mormon church, continues his course of
hypocrisy and evasion. Answering in
his improvement Era recent editorial
i'll The Tribune relating to the legisla-
tive session of 1899, Mr.. Smith denies
that he has any personal knowledge of
the things which The Tribune declared
that he knew. He says that he was
absent from Utah at the time and
could not be in possession of such in
formation. Then to show that he might
have been in possession of all the iu-
formation, he says that he knows that
no man of that Legislature was COM
PEELED to ''yield his personal or parti-
san views, or to vote for any party or
person"
Within the same paragraph Mr. Smith
declares that because he was absent he
could not know certain things and yet
being absent, could know certain 9th.
er things.
That is Mr.. Smith s facility. He
cannot know things which are true;
but he can have absolute knowledge
that things are so which are not so.
1t is his peculiar bent Of mind.
The Tribune did not charge that Mr..
Smith was in Salt Lake City, but The
Tribune charged and now reiterates
that during the legislative session of
1899 Democrats were called before the
president of the church (the president
at that time was not Joseph F. SMITH
and were instructed to vote for a Re-
publican for the Senate of the United
States. The thing was notorious. 1t is
undeniable. Mr.. Smith now saws that
he knows that no one was required to
yield his personal or partisan views.D
This means then that, although absent.
Mr.. Smith knew of the entire proceed.
ing. He has simply misstated it, as he
usually does misstate anything of i'm
portance, The record of the legislative
proceeding of that time shows that
prominent churchmen changed their
votes from a Democratic candidate TO q
Republican candidate. 1t was we'll

EVERYBODY SATISFIED.

The long. protracted case of Apostle
Heber j. Grant is now brought to a sat
isfactorv termination. The distin-
{ guished apostle Is no doubt gratified to
have the charge against him dismissed
for want of evidence. Perhaps his Joy
may be tempered little by the public
announcement by the prosecutor that
Mr. Grant s own word is not to be be

of his offense; but let that GO. In the
main, Mr., Grant is no doubt content.
He might have preferred to strut down

The church is satisfied because this
is another triumph of the holy ones
over the ungodly law.
And the church may wager the last
dollar Of its dupes that the American
citizens are satisfied. They want no
more farces lika the Joseph +. Smith
case, in which he settled for sixteen
years of continuous crime by the pay
ment of three hundred dollars to the
treasury of the State.

But the nasty part of Mr.. Smith s ar
ticle in the Improvement Era is in its
closing sentence quoted by the Des-
cret News. Mr., Smith presumes there
IN that The Tribune could tell the name
of the prominent Republican-thc
church official who was to be elected by
Democratic votes to the Senate; and
that The Tribune might truthfully say
that neither the church nor its presi-
dent selected that prominent RepubIi
can for the Senate
Mr.. Smith is not only falsifer, then
aud stupid, but also a coward. He would
not have dared to say this in the life
time of either the prominent Republ-
can church oficinl or the then president
of the church. Both these men are
dead; and Mr.. Smith would have il ap.
pear that one of them. the Republican,

A SORDID REMEDY,

In searching abont for some remedy
which might be applied for the preven.
ton ot railroad accidents, many sug-
gestlons have been made whose prin.
| clpal feature has been noted in their
ahsurdity, But probably the most
unique OF these is one which PROPOSES
morally questionable commercializa
ton OF human life. The author Of that
suggestion calls it n bold and radical
one, and upon that point there can be
little disagreement
The proposition is that the Federal
Government shall establish, by law. q
price which railroad shall paw for
each human life lost in wrecks by rea-
son OF carelessness, negligence or gen
eral lnefficlency; the list of accidents
to embrace rear and hcadon collisions.

ing. over.speeding, and so on. tt is
argued that II this tax we're fixed at
sufficient figure, the appalling inroads
upon earnings would enforce the exer
else of the highest efficiency in opera
tion.
The immortality of the scheme lies in
the sordldness Of its provision. HUI
hanity has long ago come to the CON
c]usion that life is priceless. in that no
adequate monetary value can be fixed
upon 1t. This proposal presents the
possibility of debate In the railroad
mind as to which would be the more
economlcal-to 20 to the expense Of
installing safety equipment or to paw
for few human lives occasionally, II
also pre-supposes that all railroad off.
cials are criminal, having no regard
whatever for human life, and heinz

ly when their pockets are affected.
Probably no one can more deeply re-
greet the loss Of human life than
conscientious railroad man, who is de-
voted to his duty and whose contribu
Tory error may be in part respon-
slble for disaster. Whenever the law
awards damages for the loss of human
life, 1T does not contemplate the lew
in punitive light, but entirely as com
pensatory-in so far as cash can be
compensation in such matters.
The public has been demanding dis.
patch in its own movements, and in
order to comply with the requirement
the railroads have been establishing
higher rates Of speed But at the same
time they have generally endeavored
to add to their equipment such devices
to insure safety as inventive ingenuity
has been able to supply, No effort
is being made herein to defend what
has been inexcusable carelessness in
operation, nor neglect to provide sufIi
clently heavy rails to support the In
creased weight of engines and rolling
stock. But 1T is only fair to say that
at the present time, and to speak GEN
orally, the railroad companies are i'm
proving their trackage and adding TO
the safety of their roads by the in
stallment of additional devices. If af-
ter all these precautions accidents
occur, 1t is because human ingenuity
has not yet been able to cope with the
dangers
so lar rs statutory remedy is con.
cerned the Government and the railroad
oflclals are even now endeavoring to
arrive at some plan which will place
such fair restrictions upon operation
as Will insure to the public the highest
safety efficiency. They are making an

The Utah Situation

Richfield OUtah) Reaper.
Well, the long contest is over, and
senator Smoot is permitted to retain
h's seat and fill out his term The
result wns no surprise to us. Fol
lowing closely the public pulse and the
final llnlng-up of the Senators on the
issue, 1T became evident to us some time
ago that he would not be ousted. es-
peclally on two-thirds vote We are
of the opinion, however, that a ma
Jorlty vote would have been against him
rev months ago The matter is set
tied at last and is history now.
What is to be the outcome now IN
utahf Will 1t bring an. end to the
bltter contentiin and strife that have
been going on for the past four years ?
we doubt that ii will unless. there are
some radical changes here at home.
We believe that so far as Senator
Smoot case was concerned it had
ceased to be material factor in the
social and political conditions of this
State. While he has been the storm
center to a great extent during these
Tour years, the issues which originated
with his election TO the Senatorship had
IN reality passed from n man to prin-
ciple. That principle around which now
centers the storm cloud is a general
one OF the active participation in poll
tical affairs by men in high ecclesias
teal positions.
This is not a principle or an issue
born with the election of Senator Smoot
or the birth of the American party. II
has been an und:sguised feature OF ev.
cry campaign since statehood II has
been serious issue with one of fbe
leadin~ parties of this State for tbe
past twelve years. And it will make
no difference what may be other issues
this one feature will continue to he =
tormenting factor as long as church
leaders engage IN our political concerns.

The shortening of the work day and the
