a LESSON IN LAW MAKING.

The supreme court of the State Of
California has upheld the decision OF
the district court of appeal in the
Schmitz case.
The court holds that when the late
Mayor levied tribute from the restaur-
ant keepers by threatening TO withhold
their licenses, the act was not Within
what the law defines as eXtortion.
More specifically the court says:
THAT to constitute the crime OF
extortion committed by means OF any
threat to injure property of the person
threatened the injury threatened must
in itself be unlawful. irrespective OF
whether or not the purpose for when
tho threat was made was to obtain
money to which the person threatened
is not entitled.
2-,rhat tho indictment does not aver
that Schmitz was Mayor or that Ruef
was political boss or that either of
them had any power or control over
tho Police Commissioners or that they
threatened to use any such power, in
nuenco or control in preventing the
issuance Of license.
TO constitute the crime of extortion
committed by means OF any threat to
injure property of the person threat
onod, the Supreme Court holds, the in
jury threatened must be in itself un-
lawful irrespective OF whether or not
the purpose with which the threat Is
made Is to obtain money to which the
person threatened Is entitled.
Tho court declared that II the injury
threatened to property is one which
the person threatening has an abso-
Lutte legal right to do, he cannot be
held to have threatened TO do an I'M
lawful injury" to the property even
though his motive in making the
threat Is TO obtain from the person
threatened money to which he Is not
entitled, and consequently cannot be-
held Az an injury within sections $40
ana 92O of the Penal code.
This case is only another lesson 10
law-makers. People blame the courts
because tho latter viii not construe the
law TO mean what Il does not say.
but the blame lies IN the careless maxi
ing OF the laws,
In order 70 make an injury from the
lawful act OF third person, a cause
Of action against the person inducing
the act the court argues, such an act
must be procured by some means which
the law denounoes as unlawful

the police commissioners, the court
points out. to withhold from the
French restaurant Keepers a license to
sell liquors at retail no matter how
great the loss TO their business would
be.
II was also lawful for any person
by legitimate persuasion or argument
to prevail upon the commissioners to
refuse the license, although such per-
son was actuated by malicious intent
to injure and cause the restaurant
keepers peoliniary loss.
The conjunction OF the lawful per-
suasion inducing the lawful refusal OF
the license, with the malicious motive
instlgatiug the persuasion, would not
convert the lawful act OF refusing the
license into an unlawful one the opln-
lnon holds. nor would II make the re-
sultant injury Lawful or actionable.
There should be no criticism Of the
court, The law should be changed. 1t
VIII not do for courts to violate the law
in order to catch thief. The courts
only say what the law is, and not what
1t should be. It is not likely that
this lesson to California lawmakers will
so unheeded. Meantime, Mr.. Schmitz
will be tried on other indictments.

drcn should not be disturbed: that
the poiygamous man should be allowed
10 support his numerous wives and
children.
"The polygamous relations. of
course, should not continue, but we
would not compel q man TO turn his
families adrift. We promised that
the older ones who had contracted
those relations before the Manifesto
was issued would not be prosecuted
by the gcnttles: that time would be
given for them to pass away, but that
the law would be strenuously enforce
cd against any polygamous marriage
which might be- contracted in the flu
turc."
There Is, IN the entire statement not
n word about the illegalty of the be-
lief in the eternity of the marriage
covenant; only against contracting
now plural marriages In 1908 the
anti-"Mormon" champion had not
discovered that the constitution In his
state prohibits the belief that a mar
rIage tx contracted for both time and
eternity. That is, as we have said, an
aftorthought.
We doubt very much that anti
Mormon" agitators entertain the
hope that the courts win sustain
them in their absurd contention. They
have, we believe, raised the question
fer lack of anything else with which
to keep the agitation alive.

sHAkEspEARE MEMORIAL.

Plans have been outlined by an Eng
lish committee, for Il 100000 memorial
to Shakespeare. to be completed on the
soOth anniversary of his death, eight
wears hence. Competition for the de-
sign OF the architectural monument
and statue will be thrown open TO all
English-speaking races, selection to be
in the hands of a committee of sculp-
tors. The projectors of the monument
also hope to raise an additional S5ooOOo
TO be devoted to tho foundation OF a
"Shakespearean Institute" When the
invitation To contribute comes, there
will be no delay on the part of those
who appreciate the immortal bard, to
respond. Shakespeare belongs to the
world, and all should have share In
erecting an enduring monument.
There has been some discussion as to
the form monument of this KIND
ought to take. Some advocated sta
tue. others a library, or d museum. or
an institute for the study of art and
literature in general. Others suggested
n national theater dedicated to classi-
cal plays. A compromise seems to
hive been reached, and the committee
has decided on the erection of statue
and the foundation OF an institute.
There is no reason why an American
sculptor should not win in the compeu-
ton for the design of a statue.

FOR CHEAPER PAPER.

Newspaper readers-and that term
Includes practically, everybody-are in
tested in knowing that the publishers
throughout the country are resisting
the efforts of the manufacturers 10
fix the price of paper at almost prohioi-
tory figures. 1t is claimed that various
combinations among manufacturers
have been entered into for the purpose
of limiting the output and increasing
the cost to the consumers, and the re-
suit Is a serious crisis in the publish
ing business.
When the matter, some months ago,
was brought to the attention or the
Attorney General, he replied that II
sufficient evidence could be laid before
him 10 make out case of illegal COM
bination, or conspiracy, he would at
once institute proceedings to afford re-
lief. The collating and preparation OF
evidence was then begun. and some
time ago the President of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers association
detailed statement of the evidence in
his possession. This statement is now
under the consideration of the Attor-
ney Generals department.
The charge is made that manufac-
turers of paper have entered into an
agreement to create paper famine. for
the purpose of realizing an exorbitant
profit on the limited output If this
charge is sustained by the evidence,
the robbery should be exposed and
stopped. The public, as usual, is the
victim.
