HE SAW THE FLEET.-Fran

''1 S(N" GGG TdIlh
 Shirley returned yesterday morning from Los Angeles. He reports that he saw the fleet and incidentally a whole lot of Phoenix people. He says he never had a better time in his life anywhere and wouldn't care if he was millionaire so he could go and see the fleet every little while. The re- captions for the sailors and officers and the big events generally planned for their honor were magnificently carried out with the exception of the parade of officers in automobiles and the soldiers and sailors marching. That was something of a frost, only about a quarter as big a demonstra- tion being made as had been expected. Chutes park seemed to be the center of attraction for the sailors and much was going on there to interest them. There was a tent in the park as a headquarters for each shipD and as the sailors arrived the- were all in- vited to register in the tents repre- senting their respective ships. He noted particularly the conduct of the enlisted men and sailors and says its was exceptionally good A few were seen in an intoxicated condition, but not great many. He was told that wherever one was found in that condi- tion it was almost a certainty that he was d new recruit in the service for the older ones do not get drunk, whether they are white or black.

 COLONIZATION CO.,
Has Opened Branch Office n Phoe- nix for the Sale of Mexican Agricul- tural Lands.

B. H. Haun who has been engaged in the commercial brokerage business here for sometime and E. c. Bishop who has been connected With the Green & Griffin real estate and invest ment company. have formed partner ship for the sale of lands in Mexico. as special representatives of the Fos- ter HolcOmb Mexican Colonization Co.,
 with main offices in Kansas City Messrs. Bishop X Haun have opened an office at 136 West. Washington street. which. which they propose to make headquarters for those seeking information about Mexican lands.
 The gentlemen stated yesterday that just at time they have nothing to sell but they expect to have in very few days and will lose no time in telling the people about it. The Foster Holcomb company as an initial invest ment secured 300,000 acres of land
 which they sold at low price on the monthly installment plan and which went almost as fast as they could make out the papers. They have now bought tract of 100000 acres adjoining that which they have already sold and pro- pose to dispose of it in like manner. but the proper papers have not arrived here yet for opening the sale. They are expected any day.
 This land is situated in Topic the only territory in Mexico. at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains, forty five miles from San Bias on Pacific coast opposite the lower end Of Lower Cali 1 fornia. The general altitude is $500 feet and the climate is said to be prac- tically that of southern California, without the fogs. The land is said to
 be wonderfully fertile producing or | anges, bananas. pineapples. tobacco. sugar and all the products peculiar to that latitude. The land is mostly coV- cred with heavy growth of blue stem grass. an evidence of it's fertility. though there are some quite extensive forests. The Southern Pacific system and the Kansas City. Mexico and Orient railroads will soon penetrate this section midway between Guadala- jara and Mazatlan. giving good trans portation facilities.
 The Foster HoIcomb company has the approval of the Mexican govern ment which even censors it's literature before it is printed in order that noth- ing may be advertised that the gov ernment is not willing to guarantee
 The president of the company is Sem ator Jose Castellot of Mexico City. a member of the Mexican senate and di-
 rectpr general of the Association Finan- ciera International. a corporation or ganized under special charter granted by the Mexican government, endorsed hxT pFnCi6nnt niaz and hlrinc itc purpose. the encouragement of foreign immigration to Mexico.

 ''I am as much displeased as you are with the total abstinence fanatics. Some of them no doubt are frauds. but many are honest. They see the harm done by low saloons and intemperance and then jump to extremes.
 The Methodist. Baptist and Pres byterian churches in America have all ways been total abstinence churches and you know when one is brought up and reared in a thing, he Is convinced of it. Our Lutheran church and the Episcopal church have never joined with them. Our views are well known. We stand for temperance-not for total abstinence. Here our Lord stood and here the Christian church as whole has always stood. but We have always felt that it would not Joe becoming Us. as clergymen, to enter into the public arena in controversy. Privately and in the pulpit we advocate this moder- atiOn. Further than that. my church would not like me to go.'

I respect most sincerly the opin- ion of others. but reserve for myself the right to live and die as a citizen of the United States. under it's laws. given and inaugurated by the common sense of a tolerant. unbiased and lib- erty loving people" The tendency to substitute justice by intolerance. self reliance by police power. common horse sense by fanatical church dicta tions and the meddling of the clergy with affairs of the state. will not only destroy our republic in the end. but it makes our country the laughing stock before the entire civilized world.

LEGISLATION FOR
 ARIZONA IS SLOW
Correspondence Between Delegate Smith and Dwight B. Heard.

As everybody knows there are three bills before congress designed for the special benefit of Phoenix and vicinity and they have not been rushed along as fast as the people here had hoped for One is the bill permitting the voting of bonds for paying the old city warrants, another is the federal building project and the third is the Central avenue road district bonding bill. Dwight B. Heard is especially interested in this measure and has been doing all he could to hurry its passage, including frequent letters to Delegate Mark Smith
 Yesterday he received letter from MT. Smith that was not of an optimis- tic or hopeful tone, though the dele gate promises to do all he can. That he may not have an opportunity to forget anything. MT. Heard replied yesterday that while the valley cannot expect to overcome an impossiblity il is depending on the delegate to see that nothing short of an absolute bar rier shah prevail against him. Fol lowing is the correspondence:
 April 15. 1908. MY Dear Heard:
 l thank you for the information giv- en in your last letter touching the title to the road proposed to be im- proved.
 I see no chance on earth Of ever getting the bill through this session. The House is 'hog tied" as far as unanimous consents are concerned and there is no other possible way of passing the bill. If the slightest chance presepnts itself. I shall take advantage of it. but I don't expect it. Yea though I the gift of tongues I could do nothing. nor can anyone else under conditions now existing in the House.
 Your friend.

 l am just in receipt of your very kind personal note of April 18th, and grieve with you at the hog tied" con- dition which apparently prevails in the House.
 We feel sure, however. in view of the great importance of this measure and the other Phoenix measures be- fore congress. that if the slightest loophole of their passage appears you will avai, O. it.
 We all rely upon you to get this measure through even in the face of the difficulties existing, and feel con- fident that you will do your best to avoid disappointing us.
 Yours very truly,

THE TEMPERANCE MAN.

Archbishop Messnner's (Miwaukee)
 His view with reference to this ques- tion may also be quoted here in his own words as follows:
 T object to the sentiment which as- sumes that a man who drinks an oc- casional glass of wine or beer is not a temperate man. Temperance does not mean total abstinence. It means the moderate man. l protest also 10 any movement to pass laws which in any way interfere with the personal liberty of the individual unless such inter ference is necessary for the good and the protection of the community. That prohibition is such a necessity is a thing which its advocates have failed to prove.
 'The stand which I take against the imposing of laws by any community which interferes with personal liberty is the stand taken by the Roman Cath ollie church. The church holds that any attempt to curtail this liberty is 10 be discourag ged. Prohibition is such an attempt and on the whole I believe it to be an unwise movement which would not bring the results claimed for it."
 Bishop Grafton
 He declared that prohibition. by causing continuous violations of law. was more dangerous to the people than occasional cases of drunkenness. He also added that he believes in low li- cense for the sale of mild liquors. such as beer. and high license for the sale of stronger beverages. He declares that he regards the dive and low sa- looms as a menace, but that the orderly saloon has much to commend it, and he does not favor it's being abolished

From the forgoing S16.OOO.OO is a loss to the County General fund; which can only be made good by increasing the Farmers taxes
 The total of the City revenue is required to meet current expenses, it cannot be aug rnented without Territorial legislative action. Taxation is now at its highest legal limit. Reduced valuations inevitable, when the a.. bove eininations occur, will pro-rata reduce the tax levy; this will precipitate a financial climax for which there is no compensating advantage and no recourse, condition as deplorable as 1t is unwarranted and irredeem- able.
