ADJUSTMENTS

Follow the crowd" and one will find that it goes each night to Eastlake park. The attraction last night was Knobs O. Tennessee" and the per formance pleased even better than it did the opening night, if such a thing were possible. After the merits of the company have been discussed the prin- cipal topic of conversation seems to be the beauty of the stage settings and the special scenery which is used for each performance. The Tucker company has the exclusive right to produce Knobs O. Tennessee and also most of the other plays in their rep ertoire. and the manner in which they are produced is far above the average There is nothing cheap but the price Tomorrow evening the bill will be the great English melodrama, A Woman $ Revenge" which taxes the strength Of the entire company. Whit Brandon assumes the character of John Tres slider" a part which he plays with artistic finish. Miss Tucker will be seen as Bessie Barton" a part which affords many opportunities for her wonderful talent The spe- cialties will be changed and Friday evening the excursion train will be run from Tempe and Mesa. The regular dance will be given after the perform ance.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, JUNE 15, 1905
Our Chinese Exclusion Law .

It is not entirely safe to accept as absolute truth all of the dispatches that are cabIed from Europe; and therefore, the report ascribing to China an intention to cancel certain railway concessions heretofore granted te Americans may not be wholly correct. Nevertheless, it would not be strange if China should take some adverse ac- ton toward American interests, be cause of the claim that the manner In which the United States has applied the exclusion act has been far from kindly or even just.
 While the Chinese may inwardly the coolie class of their countrymen from this country, officially they have made no serious objection thereto. But the manner in which the law has beeU enforced has been disapproved even by many Americans. and it is not sur prising that offense should have been taken by many Chinese.
 Wherever the Chinese coolie has been admitted to a country he has straightaway thrived at the expense of the other inhabitants. Like dockweed on a lawn. the single Chinese hut has spread to a group, then to cluster. then to a whole block, and finally to quarter, in which a small section of China is reproduced. Granting him all the virtues with which he has been credited by his most ardent admirers. the coolie is nos a desirable addition to an American community. Hence the question at present is not the maintenance of the exclusion act, but merely the manner in which 1t is used to keep out Chinese merchants. stu dents and travellers.
 In defense of the efforts 10 apply the act to nearly all Chinamen, ire spective of their caste, it is asserted that they all look so much alike tha. only. by keeping them all out can the officers of the law feel sure of doing their duty. This plea is not one that should be seriously considered. The officers can establish satisfactory iden tification tests and apply them withou: great difficulty.
 In strict equity China would he en- tirely justified in closing her ports against the citizens of all nations from whose territory the Chinese are ex- cluded. And, if China should some day feel able to insist upon keeping Americans out of China as long as We kept Chinese out of the United States. it would be difficult for our people to refuse to acknowledge the justice of the Chinese tit-for-tat
 In any event, however, the exclusion act ought not to be applied with un- necessary inconvenience to the mer- chants and travellers of China.

BRAVED THE DESERT
To Renew the Health of Her Invalid
 Child.

The following interesting testimon- ial of the healing influences off, the Arizona climate, is from the Los An geles Examiner which reached here yesterday:
 While her husband was in far Dawson City, making a stake" Mrs. L. c. Lane camped with her three small children in the bush" near Phoenix, Ariz., to save the life of her ten year old daughter, Pauline who was dying of consumption.
 Mrs. Lane. who is now on her way to her home in Seattle, Wash, regis tered at the Brunswick hotel and told of her life in the wilds of Arizona. She said:
 q was so desperate that I forgot to be afraid. The doctor said that noth- ing but the desert air would save my child and l pitched my tent three and a half miles from Phoenix and staid there five months. There were no in- habitants within a mile and I had nothing to protect me, but this did not occur to me at the time. We slept on cots out of doors every night and during the day ran bareheaded in the sum- My little girl drank four quarts of milk and ate seven raw eggs a day dIlQ WAS dS Tree lO run IDe SdIlQ ana sunshine as a jackrabbit.
 ''To this method of living I ascribe the health of Pauline" and she loving ly patted the sunny locks of the plump little girl beside her. Looking back over those five months in the desert I shudder at the chances I took with my little girls from the bad men of the country. But never once was I trou- bled and I thank God for the watch ful care he exercised over us."

John T. Smith Finds Missourian

Livingston (Mont.) Post.
No matter where it is, whenever
John T. Smith meets a Missourian,
he simply has to stop and have a
visit. This characteristic of the city
attorney was exemplifed within the

on the stand to prove her citizenship.

THE COMMON SCOLD.

The Enterprise is right when 1t
says that Funk, in the Republican.
Press, is cropping around to find
something to kick at in the Demo-
cratic management OF Bates county
affairs. 1t is not question with
him OF lettering conditions, or OF
merit in his kicks, but a studied de-
termination to find fault with every
thing a Democratic court and Demo-
cratic officials do. The common
scold is not a new thing in this merry
old world. Away back In the early
days our Puritan forefathers provid-
ed ducking stool for their punish
ment, but experience taught succeed
Ing generations that the better and
severer, il not the speedier way was to
leave them to the contempt OF an
outraged public that would sooner OF
later find them out.
A just criticism Of an officials pub.
lie acts is iustifsble at all times and
an honest public officer courts inves.
tigation and criticism. But the con.
tinual nagging and fault finding Of a
common scold becomes DISGUSTING to
an enlightened people.
Funk, no doubt, is proceeding on
the theory that no good can posi-
bly, come out Of a party to which be
is opposed and by finding fault with
every act he will eventually
create a distrust in the public mind
He does not stop to consider that
long before that stage is reached he
will have thoroughly disguised every
fairminded man in both parties BY
his unfair and unclean methods.
The Democratic party In Bates
county is perfectly willing to stand
judgment upon the record it haa
made for more than thirty years past
and it challenges and defes q publit
scrutiny Of It's Gets and its splendid
achievements. Not such as Funk d
now engaged in, and the garbling o.
statements as INDUCED in BY Atke
son in the last campaign, but a fair

Ex-Governor Francis Hurt.

Cincinnati, May 29.-Ex Governor
d. R. Francis, of Missouri, and presi-
dent Of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position, With. B. Forgan, president
OF the First National Bank OF Chi
cago and Percy Proctor Of Proctor
4 Gamble Soap company, met with
an automobile accident at $50
O'Clock, in which all had narrow es-
cape from death. Mr.. Francisco re-
ceived badly sprained ankle and
was scratched and bruised about the
head, face and body. He was thrown
from the machine in front of a Gil.
bert avenue car, which was stopped
within q few feet Of him by a cool
headed motorman.
The accident was the result OF Mr..
Procter's attempt to turn his ma
chine to avoid a wagon. The wheel
struck the car tracks, tossing Mr..
Francis out. He was taken to the
Grand hotel, where his injuries were
dressed, while he laughingly chided
the doctor for hurting him. He was
unable to hear Secretary Taft speak
at the Queen City club on the occas-
ion OF the twenty-fiith anniversary of
the Cincinnati Commercial club, the
celebration OF which he is attending.

which the Graves people are making against

that the management OF the cam
