Consideration Postponed.

notice given at the last regular meeting.
 When the council was called to order by Mayor Kelsey the full board was present.
 Before calling to order, but with quorum of the council present, Judge Williams, city attorney, read Sec. 542 of the Civ.l Code of Ari- zona, stating that as some question as to the power of the council to transact business at a special meet ing might be raised, he thought 1t worth while to ask for construction of the law by other attorneys pre- sent. So far as he was concerned, he held that under the section read the town board has power to trans act any and all business coming before it at any and all meetings, but he would ask the opinion upon that point of Messrs. Ford and Nave, who were present.
 After careful consideration of the section, both gentlemen concurred in the opinion advanced by Judge Williams.
 Just at that point Mesars. Marsh, Schuckman and Bureoon, for whom the rest of the council had been waiting, entered the council cham Der. and took their seats. The council then came to order, and proceeded with the usual routine business.
 Reading of the minutes of the last meeting (regular) developed that at that time consideration of a proposition to exclude women from saloons, by ordinance, had been passed over to this meeting.
 After reading of the minutes there came up. some matter of rou- tine to which Schuckman objected, stating as his ground for objection that the meeting in session was a special meeting, called for special purpose and that no other business could be transacted at such meet ing except that for which it was specially called.
 After considerable wrangling Judge Williams was requested to read again. for the enlightment of Mir. Schuckman, Sec. 542 of the Civil Code, setting forth that a town board can, at any meeting, whether special or regular, transact any legitimate business which it may have 10 do.
 Under the proper head there was introduced . petition signed by Mr. A. l.. Lewis and more than one hundred other citizens and tax payers and heads of families, ask ing that for the sake of public morality and decency, women be excluded from saloons in the town of Nogales.
 After reading the petition and the names of the signers, Marsh presented a motion that the matter be referred to the ordinance com mittee.
 Upon vira voce vote the motion was declared lost, but a roll call was demanded by Schuckman.
 Before the clerk commenced call ing the roll, Marsh inquired:
 What can be done with the pe- tition?"
 "We can act upon it right now" !" said both Peck and Hogan simul- taneously-and then in the general talk the roll call was forgotten.
 After q while Burgoon moved that the council accept the peti- tion.
 "What shall we do with it?" ask
The oasis., 1902-07-19


 'Is that a part of your motion| asked Mayor Kelsey.
 Upon receiving an affirmative reply, the mayor put the motion as presented, viz: That the petition be accepted and consideration post poned to the next regular meeting.'
 Upon roll call the vote stood: Ayes-Burgoon, Marsh, Schuck- man and Neuman.
 Noe,-Peck, Hogan.
 And the mayor declared the mo- tion adopted
 Then Peck arose in righteous in dignation, and said:
 "This meeting was called for a special purpose. Everybody knows what that purpose was. There is no use beating about the bush; the people of Nogales demand the ex- clusion of women from the saloons, and l am ready to do business right now"
 Hogan spoke to tic same effect.
 Marsh objected to "railroading" the measure through. He had heard nothing of the present meet ing, except by hearsay.
 Had you sat out the last meet ing" retorted Peck, you would have heard all about 1t. The sub ject was brought up and discussed, and it was expressly agreed to hold this meeting one week later, in order to give people time to con sider the proposition. They have considered it and they want it, and 1 am ready to do business now"
 But" said Marsh, ''there has been nothing but this petition be- fore us. No one has seen anything of the proposed ordinance"
 Judge Williams immediately pro duced the proposed ordinance, and finally, after considerable alterca- tion, it was given the courtesy of a reading. After it was read Marsh raised the point that it had to go to the ordinance committee.
 Judge Williams stated . well known axiom of parliamentary law, that any legislative body may dis charge any of its committees from consideration of any subject, and can consider, act upon and dispose of the subject without interposition of committee.
 Then Schuckman again played that one string of his, but with q little variation, that this was a spe- cial meeting, and that the board had no power to act upon ordin- ances at any other than regular meeting.
 Again Judge Williams read Sec. 542 of the Civil Code for the en- lightenment of Mir. Schuckman.
 Judge Williams, in res sponse to an inquiry stated that at the request of q member ot the board he had drawn the ordinance and had sub mitted it to some of the members, but not all.
 Now" said the judge, "your honorable body can, if it so desires, legally act upon and pass this or dinance at once. All that is neces- sary is to have some member move its adoption, seconded by another, and put to vote in regular form, and the casting of q majority of the votes of the council in it's favor"
 Marsh said he had served on the council three different times, and that ordinances had always gone to the ordinance committee.
 Schuckman, seconded by Marsh, moved that the ordinance be re-

The Case OF General Miles.

IT looks as If President Roosevelt hao
selected Secretary Root to be the soape-
goat of the Administration for the aWfui
scandals of the Philippine War. As usual
the Presidents loud voice and confident
manner are turned on to their fullest ex-
tent to confuse the public and divert
blame. If not notice. from himself. 1t
Is announced that Mr. Root may have to
resign on account of his share IN the
conspiracy of concealment which General
Miles has unearthed He win be let go,
with words of faint praise, in order to
weaken the public wrath and reduce the
possibility of a Democratic House of
Representatives being elected this faii
with Its Inevitable consequence in the inn
peachment of the Secretary Of War as
But before he goes out of office, Mr..
Root will join with Mr.. Roosevelt in a
clirnactic act of vengeance. They will
forcibly retire General Miles as punish
ment for dragging them out into the open,
ang in doing so they viii make public
list Of his offences. This is announced in
the Government organs.
We would like TO know what authority
there is in law for this proceeding. There
are some rights which an army officer re-
tains In spite of the military code. One
of these is the right of trial by court
martial IL accused of military offences and
immunity from censure or punishment
except on the finding of such court.
There has been no court martial in the
case of General Miles and there is no
likelihood of any. There are no charges
which could be submitted to such tri-
bunal and If any were faxed it is more
than doubtful whether any court could
be organized from the ranks of the army
which would convict General Miles.
The plan of the President and Secretary
of War to censure and humiliate him is
quite as illegal as If Judge Collins should
send a citizen to Jail for year without
Indictment or trial.
AS things go now, however not much
attention is paid to law. We are running
on Imperial lines and whether the work in
hand is the butchery of a subject people,
the s'proper'' subjugation of an element
OF our own population into conditions of
serfdem. er the matter of putting trou-
biesome man of prominence out of the
way. the Will of the ruler and his imme-
diate circle transcends all ordinary re-
straints of statute or tradition.

A Serious Blundsr Indeed.

The Evening Journal" In its wisdom
at the "outft," by which it means the

1T pronounces the proceedings taken by
the Hudson County Representatives in the

ssThe News
The biunder Is being made by the
Evening Journal" 1t is very serious
blunder. It Is political blunder of the
first magnitude and the Republico-Beet

The Journal obligingly points out that
the Beef Trust is not New Jersey cor
poration. and 1t pokes much ribald fun
at the idea Of a special session OF the
Legislature being called to check Its
rapaeity. Unfortunately for its fun, the
Democratic representatives have not com.
mitted themselves to the special session
idea, which may be good one and may
not. They have simply appointed com
mittee to consider way or ways OF
fighting the cormorant Trust and gainins
relief for the people.
But even IL their method were all wrong
their disposition is all right, and there fl
no decent man who would not rather bt
