1t might be good policy for
the board of trade to test the
legality of The immigration COM
missioner law in the courts, IN the
meantime pursuing the general plan
of advertising the resources of the

it may be able to enlist. Il would be a
pity to have the advertising plan fail
by reason of the opposition fostered
by the non-progressive element of the

THE FAULT FINDER

! I've been thinking about Chop Lees
comparison of the United States with
China in the matter of Indebtedness.
In China, he said. people who do not
pay their debts have their heads cut
off Here they are protected by
law. If the customs of China
were introduced to this country
many citizens of Phoenix would be
walking around 1cadlesS and many
other Ph0enicians and PhOenicianesse
now on the coast would make Santa
Monica, Long Beach, the Catalinas and
Coronado Beach look CORY, CHASTITY
and altogether melancholy.
The United States and the English
speaking people have MOI the only civ
ilization in the world. The Chinese
civilization. which. we call semi-bar-
barrie, is older and is not in all re-
spects worse. Cinnamon get even with
US by calling our civilization crude
The Chinese learned centuries ago
that men would not as general thing
do what they ought to do unless they
were made to do it. The fear of death
has KEPT that teeming population
reasonably straight for many hundred
years and does it yet, for human ma
ture does not change by time or tran
sitiOn. There is in consequence COM
paratively little private or public dis
honesty in China. When any de-
velops it is attacked and eraGicated
with heathenish haste They cut off
heads in China for other things than
dishonesty. but whatever those other
things may be they are all 0msnses
against society. The Chinese are not
great reformeTs and seem to be unable
TO conceive of a repentlr'. sinner o.
the possibility of a man going right
after he has once gone wrong.
Among the signs of civilization are
good roads This symptom has not
developed to a great extent in this
country. not even in the old and settled
communities. Our roads are motor
ously worse than thoae of any other
civilized country They arc hardly
better on an average than those Of our
colonial acquisitions lately wrested
from the misrule of Spain. We have
far to climb before we have reached
the top notch of civilization. How
ever we have made some advances
within a hundred years 1and have no
good ground for diSc0ura cement Our
progress. though, VII not be fastened
by unsupported declarations that we
are already at the top Of the heap
observations now and then of what
other counties are doing AID have
done viii afford US many pointers.

VIII They Heed the Warning,

VIII They Heed the Warning.
1t has been and is the custom of a
large number of the boys around Van
Buren, to hang around the railroad yards
and attempt to jump on every train
running through. Ordinances have
been passed making 1t misdemeanor.
but the dangerous practice continues.
Last Saturday by good luck a fatal acci
dent was averted. Late in the after
noon Master Joe the son of w. II. Ross,
who had been playing about the Frisco
yard, attempted to board the rapidly
moving Frisco cannon ball but missed
his hold and fell, by the merest accident
missing falling across the rail. His
head apparently struck tie and in rails
ing up the step of the car inflicted
severe wound on his head, which for
time was feared by the attending
physician might prove serious, but
luckily such was not the case.
While, of course the majority of
children who indulge in this dangerous
practice are not old enough to see in
what danger they place themselves, we
hope this will cause the parents of these
children to keep more watchful eye on
them, or some day it may be too late.
for not all need to expect to be as lucky
as was Master Joe.
1t is almost useless for our officers
limited as the number is--to enforce the
ordinance against this and other evils
unless the parents or guardians will CO.
operate with them.

Called Hence.

Last Wednesday morning the sorrow
full announcement passed from door to
door that the Angel Of Death had
invaded another Van Buren home-that
Ben Hodges, known and respected by
every citizen of Van Buren, was no more
to mingle among the living. For months
his friends had sorrowfully watched the
slow but sure ingress of that dread
affiiction, known to medical science as
Bright's Disease, upon his health, yet
they all hoped that means might be
found to stop its encroachment. But as
time passed on they saw the futility of
their hopes, and while sorrowing that
their friend should be cut down in the
prime of life. the sad news of his demise
did not come unexpected to them.
Benjamin F. Hodges was born in 1854
on boat on the Ohio river. His father,
John Hodges WAS native of Kentucky
and with his family moved to Van Buren
in 1858 or SO. since which time Ben
has been continuous resident of our
community growing up to man s estate
among our people, and being identified
in later year with the business interests
of our community. Being of a genial,
frank disposition he made friends easily
and he held their good will to the end,
rs was testified by the large concourse
and the many tokens of esteem at his
funeral.
Mr.. Hodges leaves wife and child
and numerous other relatives to mourn
his untimely death, and to them tine
entire community extends its sincere
condolences.

A Mysteriou. Rescue.

During the blizzard that ragged
at Nine Mile last week a little
child was thought TO have been
lost, The child stepped outside
Just before the storm came up,
and there was a binding snow
storm raging before its absence
was noticed. 1t was impossible to
distinguish an object thirty feet
distant, and the parents became
almost frantic in their efforts to
find the little one. Finally the
child was given up for lost, and
the parents returned home, there
to find the object OF their search
calmly seated before the fire utter
~ oblivious OF the anxiety he had
caused. Where the little one had
been or how he got back no one
knows.
This instance reminds us of Bret
Harte's poetical solution OF a
similar mystery; "How did he
get thar Angels They just
picked him up and toted him to
where it was safe and warm And
| believe that savin' little child,
and bringin' him home to his own,
is burned site better business
than jus loatin around the
