THE GRIFFITHS BENEFIT.

murdered on June 25th while in the dis
charge Of his duties, reports success of

We know that we need only to bring
this matter TO the attention of the peo.

enthusiastic support of the benefit pro,

THE FERRY SETTLEMENT.

The announcement Of the compromise
in the long-drawn-out and highly impor-
tant and costly litigation in the Ferry
estate, is received with satisfaction by
the public here. 1t is litigation that
has been pending for many years, and
in which equities on both sides were
thoroughly threshed out and the law ap.
piled, with fair claims yet on the losing
side. The settlement gives to each side
Of the contention one-half of the estate,
which is large enough to suffer this di-
vision and still leave riches to both
sides.
We especially congratulate Hon. W.
Mont. Ferry of this city upon the result
Of the settlement, which is a substantial
triumph for him. He is good business
man, popular everywhere, and the re-
suit of the prolonged contest leaves him
in good financial condition, which Is ex-
actly what every one is glad to see.
This long litigation is instructive upon
the general point, now so clearly and so
generally recognized, that it is better
when any contention arises to keep it
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-07-13

out of the courts IL possible, for with
the best Intentions on all sides, court
costs eat largely into any estate, and it
is better to sacrifice something in the
beginning than to lose so much by lit
igation; and in this case, after all the
litigation, an amicable settlement was
decided upon at the last, This Is ex-
actly tho right thing, and it would have
been to the benefit of all concerned if
it could havo arrived at in the begin
ming, But misunderstanding and an.
tagonism will spring up, and until the
blood has time to cool, eager contest is
sure. The part of wisdom, however, is
not to contest, but to settle as soon as
settlement may be had,
And so on this final adjustment the
public will agree that the best possible
outcome has been attained, and that the
itigants arc to be congratulated on tho
termination Of the long and costly suit
with substantial wealth at both ends OF
the line.

RESTRICTIVE MARRIAGE LAWS.

Those who favor the passage OF re-
strictive laws with reference TO matri-
mony are apt to lose sight Of the ten
dencies Of human nature and the con-
sequences Of thwarting natural incli-
nations and propensities by such legis-
lation. Those who imagine, for exam
pie, that if the marriage laws should
prohibit marriages for period of time,
there would thereupon be no mat
ings, reckon wrong. For that there
would be thereupon irregular relations
during that period between young men
and women, there could not be the
least doubt. All such matters have to
be considered with extreme care lest
illicit births be fostered.
We see it stated in the Eastern pa
pers that the Pennsylvania legislature
is pluming itself on making a begin.
ming toward "bringing the marriage
laws Of that State into harmony with
eugenics. Accordingly it has forbid
den the granting of marriage licenses
to persons, either Of whom is imbe-
Gle, under guardianship as Of unsound
mind or subject to transmissible dis.
ease" These laws also provide that
no man shall be allowed to marry with
in five years of having been in coun-
ty asylum or poor house, unless he can
prove that the cause has been removed,
or that be is able to support g family.
Not going very far one might say, and
yet such laws are difficult to enforce.
The desirability Of most Of these
provisions, however, is evident. 1t is,
in fact, probable that the weight Of in
fluence Of the families concerned would
be against marriage in all such cases.
The community sentiment would prob
ably frown against any such marriages
and deter them to as great an extent
as possible. But the danger in such
legislation is, first, that to be effective
for the imbecile and irresponsible, the
very persons whom it is most desirable
to check, heavy task would be i'm
posed upon the officers enforcing the
law. Second, the probability that
