Y. M. C. A. CONVENTION
 MttTS IN Fl PAS0
3. A. Fowler of Phoenix Rendered the Presidency by Telegraph Last Night.

The convention of the Y NJ c. A. for the southwestern district which embraces Arizona. New Mexico, north ern Mexico and some other contiguous territory, met yesterday in Fl Paso and will last over Sunday. The cOnven- tion is composed of leading Y. NJ. C.. A. workers in the district and dele gates from the different associations and places where associations are con templated- There are also present a number of the general and interna- tionaI secretaries of the organization. It is doubtful if any of the Phoenix delegates or officers found it possi- ble to attend the convention, though several had hoped to do so. Phoenix however was not forgotten in the or ganization of the convention as in stanced by the following telegram. re- ceived last night.

The great number of accident cases and consequent suits against the va rious city transportation lines has re-
 suited in what amounts to the estab- liShment of a scale price of damages for dismem berment and death. The scale is fixed on a purely commercial basis too and sentiment plays no part in it. For instance an award of $50 was made recently to the parents of a two year old child that had been killed by a trolley car. The reasoning was that a two year old child was not an expense to it's parents. Presumably the $150 was expected to cover funeral expenses. A short time before a bal
 let dancer whose leg had been cut off recovered $24,5G0 while a man who earned less money received $10,000 for exactly the same deprivations. A stenographer recently obtained SS,500 for the loss of his thumb and a lawyer 800 for the removal of part of his jaw, apparently regarded by this jury as his most valuable asset. While there is logic in this method of assess ing damages it has it's perils too. Pre- sumably the street railway unfortunate enough to amputate John D. Rocke
 feller's coupon cutting hand would be forced to go out of business through inability to pay the damages assessed against :t. LONGACRE..

Fowler answered that it would be im- tion, however much he would like to do so. It is expected the Fl PasO gathering will put some new enthus- iasm in the work and that it will per maps result in the organization of as- sociatiOns in two or three more Ari-
 zOna towns, during the coming year.

 and want A startling feature is the large proportion of crimes committed ! by aliens. This subject is to be taken up and discussed by the Liberal Inn migration League at a meeting which
 is to be held here on March 10. As
 it's name suggests the league is against the restriction of immigration by
 sweeping laws that will bar useful as well as useless voyagers from the old

 will be attained by deporting aliens

 here instead of supporting them in
 jail or leaving them to prey on the
 Community. as at present, and it is
 advocating laws that will make this
 possible. Its platform also calls for
 the more rigid enforcement of the
 present laws excluding criminals. pau

 from five to ten years. significant fact in connection with the league and
 the measures it champions is that

Grant the Banner Parish for
Steel Bridges.

The police jury at it's sitting thi
week let out to Austin Bros, of Dial
las, Texas, the building of stee
bridge across Bear creek, on tn,
Rochelle and Pollock road, at tn,
price of 1915, to I've completed within
the next six weeks. This will max,
nine steel bridges that the police jury
have built across the streams in
Grant parish, eight of them being
now completed, and the ninth to he
finished and ready for use in a very
short while. The cost of these nine
bridges is within the neigI,borhood OF
$50, 200, the most of which will have
been paid for by the present police
jury during its present term of Office,
and We believe that it makes Grant
parish the banner parish Of the State
in the matter OF building steel
bridges.
The fine public spirit and progress
Ivness Of our police jury we can com
pliment ut this time without being
thoughtunduly partial in the matter.
Including their payments on the new
*3O, 1000 court house, they have prob
ubly paid out more money for public
improvements than any three Grant
police juries that have proceeded
them. True, this may in some meas
IRE be accounted for by the largely
Increased values Of the parish within
the last few years. but the TACT re-
mains that they have done the work,
and are entitled to credit for it.
The report of the parish treasurer
up to April LIST showed cash bal
ance ON hand Of $4,000, and the
chances appear good for he prest mt
police jury to be able to pay all eur
rent claims and still have substun-
tial cash balance in the parish treas
nry Tor their successors in office.
The body was in session three days
this week, but owing to court being
in session and an extra amount Of
business on hand, We have ouly been
able to get the proceedings Of two
days in type for this Issue of the
Chronicle. The minutes of these two
days, on another page, will be found
interesting to our readers The third
days proceedings, together with the |
list OF claims allowed, will appear
next week.

MIR. Payne was born and raised in
Grant parish, and comes of one Of
our best known and respected fnm-
lies. He is in thorough sympathy
and accord with the people of Grant
parish ON the moral issues of the day,
and can be counted ON to represent
them with fidelity in all matters that
may come before him. On the ques-
ton of prohibition. gambling, the
Sunday law. etc. he il definitely COM
mitted. In his platform published
in the Chronicle of January 11th, hr
says:
THE first and most important
question If good morals: The mass
~ of people seldom rise to.H higher
standard OF morals than is maintain
ed by our laws, SO the things that
effect Us. morally should be lrgisiat ted
against 1t il conceded that gam
bling, the present liquor traffic, and
the dissertation of the Sabbath, ure
among the lending evils that are ef-
fecting the morals Of our country, so
if these should be eradicnted, nnny
of the other evils would disappear"
This utiernnce puts him squarely
in line as an advocate of statutory
Prohibitinn," and we refer him and
our readprs to an article in this Issue
of the Chronicle under this heading,
which we reproduce from the Shreve-
port Journal ON this subject.
The editor of the Journal is.right
in his position that there is no need
for prohiLitionists to takeany rhanc-
es in opening up the liquor business
IN those parishes which have discard
e'l It. State vile prohibition is all
right, but there need be no general
election on the subject. Mr.. Payne,
as the Representative from Grant,
will he in line with the sentiments OF
thre-fourths Of his constituents If he
favors statutory prohibition. The
same is true AS to the Representative
from VIM, and the Representative
from Natchitoches parish. And thus
something more than thirty of the
other parish Representatives, may do.
ansl be in full accord with their home
people. II they cannot pass the law
at the next session of the Legislature,
they can ut least make it very inter-
psting to those who advocate reten-
ton of the license system.
