appointed to formulate rules for

WHERE THE BlAME9

outburst between the warning
forces of right and wrong and 1t
has been most forcibly exempt
fed very RECT ntly. 1t is thc e5ul-
lition of hate and the spirit oil
murder on the Que hand against
the champions of law and order
and of the highest ideals of virtue,
honor and probity on the other.
Just what influences are RESPONSE
BILE for such outbursts is some
what difficult TO determine. despite
the hidden motives that are
brought to the surface.
There is an underlying cure II
that prompts men TO resort to the
murderer's and assassin's recourse,
when crime and dishonesty and
defiance of law are exposed and
brought To the bar OF justice.
The recent staying Of Elk Soma
tor Carmack in Tennessee and the
murderous assault upon Prosecut-
ing Attorney Heney in San Fran
cisco. are striking and powerful
examples of the spirit of murder
that stalks amid the pursuits OF
peace and invades the temples OF
outraged Justice.
Yet how divergent the two in
stances! The one grew out of the
manly effort of the defender OF
right to preserve pure and untalnt-
ed, the principles of government:
and to protect the people in their
most sacred rights and privileges.
Aud recourse was had to the
deadly instrument of murdeIl
The other was an effort 10 pro-
tect the raiment of Justice from
defilemcnt aud faint within the
portals of her own temple, by the
exposure of an TX criminal from
heing associated among true men
and tried. to pass judgment upon
an open viola,or of the law. True
to the instincts of defer Of that
very law, the foSmcr convict
Or ught into the limelight, at
iempts the open assassination OF
his legal prosecutor.
These are bat few recent, yet
potent examples of tendency
that seeks 10 defy law and takes
summary methods into its own
hands. Is this spirit of bloody
reprisal for exposed moral otlo-
guy because of the lack of the
administration OF justice? Or is
it the expression OF propensity
nurtured ii.to life and encouraged
because of a maudlin public senti-
ment that condones crime through
the power OF gold, and expresses
sympathy for the criminal who
has moved in high social circles,
and no matter what his laShes oil
defiance of law, can do no wrong.
as seen through the delusivc
glasses of polite society?
When the law is enforced with
out fear or favor. when it brushes
aside every distinction of wealth,
respectabili,y,-high social position
and every other barrier that stands
in the path of its rigid and MOI :
discriminating enforcement. O ct
ing out the same punishment to
the rich and poor. the high and
low alike. the bloody deeds that
startle and horrify communities
and the country. will lessen and
cease.
II il good omen when the peo-
pie and journals come to the front
in open denunciation of the spirit
of lawlessness that makes these
deeds possible. and the laxity in

The way some people still howl
about the striugeacv OF the times,
reminds one of man standing in
doorway when a fash of light
ming comes along, when he pro-
ceeds to "duck" in the most APP
proved fashion. He realizes there
is no danger in it. but uses it to
expose his fright. So there are a
number Of men who use the money
stringency of the past as an excuse
TO express their imaginary danger
of its presence. or make it a foil
to prevent paying out money or
investing in public enterprises.

the coming year as zone of untx

Charge Coal Conspiracy.
SALT LAKE, Dec. Hearing of
the case of the United States against
the Union Pacific Railroad company,
the Union Pacific Coal company, Ev-
erett Buckingham, former traffic
manager of the Oregon Short Line,
and j. NJ. Moore, western sales agent
of the union Pacific Coal company,
in which those persons and corpora
lions are charged With conspiracy to
drive David J. Sharp out of the coal
business in this city, was begun in
the United States district court to-
day
Exploitation of the case before the
interstate commerce commission in
1906 created a sensation and it was
followed by an investigation by
committee of the legislature in 1907.
1t is alleged that Sharp was forced
to suspend business through inabili-
ty to secure more coal.
This action followed an advertise
ment by him to sell Storage coal'
so cents cheaper than the advertised
price of other dealers. Previous to
this a reduction of so cents ton
by railroads and coal companies had
been made to retail dealers, who,
however, with the exception of Sharp,
had agreed to maintain the old prices
Sharp refused to enter into this
agreement and he claims that the
railroads refused to haul his coal and
the coal companies cancelled his or .
ders and he was driven out of bust
ness.
