CURING A HUMAN FLOOD

When the powers that make our laws at Washington were confronted Of late with the fact that they were admitting aliens through our gate ways at the rate of a Phiiadelphiaful per year-or Bostonful plus a Bal timoreful, if you would prefer it that way-they sat up and took notice, as the saying is"
 With this paragraph John EIfreth Watkins opens an interesting article on immigration under the new law in the Technical World Magazine for July.
 fFrank P. Sargent, the Commis- sioner General of Immigration, with diagrams and charts, as long as your arm, and statistical tables, and sound logic, too. had begged and plead and plead again for power not only to ob- tain for us a smaller quantity and bet ter quality of immigrants, but to drain and distribute the stagnation of idle aliens which, this generation past. has been accommodating, deeper and biacker, in a few overpopulated areas of the land. He had given proof of {, how the areas of alien concentration | these foreign colonies in certain | big cities-weTe breeding idleness pauperism, disease and crime while | the great, broad. sunlit expanse oi 1 land to the south and west were | standing undeveloped for the lack oi men of brawn. As a result Congress gave us a new immigration law be fore it shut up shop in the spring.
 "The new law goes into effect July first. It provides the immigration service with machinery for a more equal distribution of aliens among the states, and for skimming deeper into the old world scum now floating l Americaward upon the seas. It ex
 cludes classes of weddings and de | generates admitted hitherto, requires steamship companies better to pro
 tect the health of our future citizens en route and affords the arms ot
 government greatly renewed strengtl with which to strike blow at fht
 traffic in immoral alien women"
 Mir. Watkins follows with a lont
 article on the causes which led to th'
 change in the law and the effects i
 will bring.

WHY IT IS COLD.

Winter still fingers in the lap of June in Phoenix, though it is thought that the backbone of the cold wave is broken and the thaw nas commenced on the sunny side of the buildings. Phoenix just at present, and in fact all spring. has been enjoying the most
 4eligntfully coo, and pleasant weather, and if this keeps up it will soon be
 some famous as a summer resor
 Most people blame the weather man for all that happeI4s in that line
 Either summer has got sidetracked somewhere along the line or else Mir Jesunofsky got mixed in the levers and opened the wrong gate and let in the wind from the polar regions. It is not so cold tLat Peary would think of looking here for the North Pole still a most unreasonable breeziness has been let loose. This low temper ature is not so sudden, for all spring there has been a deficiency of eight to twelve degrees. Yesterday it was IS degrees colder than it was this time last year, and the total deficiency was degrees. The cool weather is due to high pressure area which de- scended very swiftly over the Pacific states and down the Rocky mountain range. Rain, turning 10 snow, fell ov- CT the northern part of the territory and the wave came down in the val ley, giving us the eoldest June day for years. Old timers, of course, cannot remember a d4y when 1t was as cold. and the ice cream man looked blue. not only from the weather, but be- cause his goods were not in demand. Mir. Jesunofsky says that the cool weather is likely to continue for a few days yet until the high pressure moves off the lid and lets the hot breezes blow. Meanwhile Phoenix is rejoicing and smiling at the back east idea that it is always as hot as biazes in the Salt river yaIIey.-Ari. zona Republican.
