Show IN REGARD TO THE NEW MARSHAL THE tem new united baates marshal has entered upon the duties of his office and much curiosity is manifested as to his probable course in a community so sharply divided upon important issues Reason reasonable ab le people will only expect that he will perform his duty unreasonable people will insist on the one hand that he be shall engage in every project for the promotion of strife and the oppression of those whose religious faith and practice are the mark of so much hostility and on the other hand that he be shall not figure as a vigorous pursuer ot men charged with guv m fractions of an unjust law we desire to take the reasonable view and hope that reason and law will guide him in his official career it is scarcely to be expected that a man required to arrest belsons charged with violation of the law will be looked upon with extreme favor by those Y who ho suffer from his official acts particularly when the law under which he proceeds is special partial and op lopres pres sive but when a marshal amarshall or a deputy is required to serve a paper or make an an arrest eat he must discharge dibe harge that duty no matter how disagreeable it may be to himself or to others he is not responsible for the law nor can he hesitate because it is a bad one the capture ot criminals is part of the business for which he was engaged by the government and law abi abiding ilag people will sustain aim aimin in lawfully attending to it A person char charged ed with the execution of the law in any respect should himself be law abiding we presume there will be no dispute about that the highest hest law of the land oves some guaranties guarantees guaran ties to citizens which cannot be broken with impunity nor denied without doing violence to both law and jus ustice one ot of these protects the people against unreasonable searches bear cheb and seizures and requires that in entering domiciles domiciled domi ciles officers shall be empowered with a warrant particularly describe ehg the place to be searched and the tae persons or things to be seized any law regulation order or proceeding that conflicts with this constitutional provision is illegal and those who attempt to enforce it are as lawless as any person may be baom it is desirable to arrest there is a law requires officers who arrest persons charged with crime to take them before the nearest magistrate where it if their offense is they may be admitted to bail witnesses must not be required any more than principals to go outside of tile the districts anere they reside for a preliminary examination or in ia a case that is triable in their district neither can they be legally forced to receive service of papers at unseasonable hours and leave their homes at a moments notice at atie call of an the law does not authorize the improvisation of subpoenas by a marshal ar or deputies they must be duly made out b by Y the proper officer or they h have ave no legal force the law is not made for the purpose ol of creating fees for otti officers cers or committing magistrates and the rights oi 01 citizens must be preserved althou although at the greed of a favored commissioner may not be gratified grai ined it does not necessarily come within a marshals duty duly to make a bus business iness of swearing to complaints about persons pei of whom he knows and whose infraction odthe of the lawis law is alleged butof out of spite by persons unwilling to appear as accusers accuse ra when an officer makes oath that a certain individual is living in violation of law it is to be reasonably supposed that he knows something of what lie is swearing about and when the accused is not even known to the accuser his oath does not seem to be of very great value or sincerity the law can be executed lawfully and an officer is not obliged to be anything less than a gentleman the arrest of prisoners and the service of summonses may be conducted with rigid regard to the requirements of the law and yet without ingrim infringement e ment upon personal or property rights and without cruelty oppression indecency or brutality the acts of ruffian deputies reflect upon their responsible principal no matter how personally polite or courteous he may seem to be and no officer will lose anything worth retaining by a gentlemanly and humane course toward those who may be unfortunate enough adough 1 to be placed for a brief season reason in his power A consistent able aWe and vigilant marshal need not be a spy a delator a conspirator spi a fee fiend or a timeserving time serving and undignified pard partisan san lie need not belong to a clique nor become the tool of adventurers he need not bow at the behest ot plotting politicians nor be ashamed to show that he is human in other words he can be a marshal and yet be a man we make these remarks because of the experience which utah has had to pass through and the necessity for a change we do not expect anything less than the enforcement of the laws nor wish to influence improperly any one en engaged ga ed in that work even if we had the power but we have a ri right I 1 alt to hope for a lawf lawful ua and decent execution of law and that is all we ask if the new marshal takes this course we shall have no reason to find fault and will be pleased to support hg him and every other official who does oes likewise but we claim the right to ariti else cise the acts of any public officer from the president of the united states down even as low as a crawling spotter prostituting the position of a deputy and consider it our duty to maintain the privileges and imm immunities uni of citizens c I 1 while we honor and uphold all the representatives af the law who themselves remain within its limits and provisions |
