FAIR TREATMENT FOR IMMI-
GRANTS

The bureau of immigration has sent
out to commissioners of immigration
and inspection warning that aliens
must not be deported as a result of
inquiry which is merely superficial
Pains must be taken in every instance
to avoid injustice. The number of
aliens deported has increased enor-
mouSly of late, and the bureau says it
has noted in some Instances a tendency
to sacrifice the quality of the work at
ports of entry to the quantity-which
must cease at once and be avoided in
future.
Even where deportation is necessary
in order to conform with the law it
sometimes is SO harsh and cruel as to
be repugnant to the feelings of hui
mainly as we'll as inconsistent with
the traditions of America as land of
shelter for the oppressed. Where de-
portation is based on a merely per-
functory investigation, and the immi-
grant who is shipped back is legally
entitled to remain. the outrage on per-
sonal liberty approaches the proper
lions of a crime.-Milwaukee Wiscon-

AN ASTONISHING SPECTACLE.
DR.. Jameson and General Botha,
sitting side by side on the steps of the
throne in the House of Lords, while
the colonial secretary asked for the
second reading of the bill to create a
South African commonwealth, in
which Briton and Boer should have
equal rights-this is the astonishing
and gratifying spectacle which Eng
land is able to offer to the world.
Who could have believed it possible,
when the desolating war in South
Africa was raging, so short time
ago? It is a vivid proof that Great
Britain has not lost her acquired
skill IN colonial administration. So
healing and constructive a piece of
legislation as this act of union for
the four South African colonies has
not been seen in many year. It is
an evidence of England's real great
ness more convincing than all her
battleships The contamination of
this great act OF statesmanship I'M
der a liberal ministry. will rank as
perhaps the proudest achievement of
the present government.-New York

CREATE CITY HALL FUND
 FROM SOUVENIR SALES
CENTRAL COMMITTEE HAS CALL ED MEETING FOR SATUR-
 DAY AT 5 p. M.
Suggestions Solicited As to Proper Means of Feeding the
 MuItitudes.

That there is need for a city hall worthy of the name in Mesa there is no question. It was with this idea in view that the central committee in charge of the fourth of July affairs decided to create a city hall fund. A fund may be very large or not so large but it is an assured fact that with the nucleus it will grow the more easily. The plan proposed by the central com mittee is to use all funds collected for the purpose of carrying on the fourth of July. and not needed in establishing the fund. While there are several chances that the surplus on hand in the treasury will not be enough to con struct any large building, unless the Mesa committee is considerably diff ferent from most fourth of July asso- citations. Another idea has been sug- gested which may be available and that is from the sale of souvenirs A movement is already on foot to inaug- urate a sale of souvenir badges on the day of the celebration, the proceeds to go to the city hall fund.
 There is another proposition which the committee has taken up and one that is of vital importance, that of feeding the crowds on the day of the celebration. A meeting has been call ed for Saturday afternoon at o'clock in the Mesa opera house at which time it is proposed that suggestions be giv- en for the feeding of the crowds. This is quite an item and one which de- serves the attention of not only the committee but the various organiza- tions that can assist in entertaining the visitors during the noon hour

The Outdoor Meetings During Summer Season, Another Matter De-
 cided Upon.

Last night at a special meeting of l the conjoint board of trades of the Y. l.. and Y. M. M. l. associations met and adopted the report of the com mittee who Were appointed at their 1 last regular meeting to outline plans | governing summer meetings to be held conjointly on the lawn at the taber- nacle every Sunday night during the summer under the auspices of the stake boards. The plan adopted as presented by the committee is as fol- lows: Meetings to be presided over by the stake boards, program commit tee consisting of five members, one each from the stake boards and one to be chosen from each of the wards These are to be responsible for the programs for one month followed by five others for the next month. For the month of June, James w. LeSueur and Emma Dana of the stake boards, Henry l.. Peterson from Mesa, Emma Rollins from Lehi and Detta Lisonbee from Alma have been appointed. Each committee will endeavOr to make theirs the banner month.
 Further in pursuance Of their for mer course in looking after the physi- cal as well as the spiritual development of the young people the boards voted to give fifty per cent of the receipts of each field day looking to the estab- lishment and maintenance of a NJ. l. A. gymnasium and proceeded to elect a board of trustees of five members with O. & Stapley as chairman and w. Aird Macdonald. secretary. Execu- tive board: O. s. Stapley. Deborah Allen. w Aird Mcdonald, Orlando Merrill and Bertha Stewart This board will immediately take charge of the athletic property belonging to all the associations and also through their secretary, on presentation of an order to the chairman of the field day com mittee shall be entitled to 50 per cent of the net receipts. This money will be held in trust by them and expended only as may be agreed by a majority of said board determined at one of their regular meetings.
 Owing to the disappointment which has been occasioned by the failure of the Phoenix team to meet the Mesa boys in the events outlined in the pro- gram as printed in all the papers, We have decided to make the events free for all entries with the exception of the relay race which will be under the management of Mark Newell from Mesa and W. A. Millett from Alma, who will organize the teams for their respective wards
 Those taking part in the following events: One hundred yard dash. fifty yard dash, obstacle race, high jump. broad jump. pole vault. hammer throw, and shot put will be awarded badges of honor. First and second prizes and the money will be given by the asso- citation. i. e. fifty per cent of the re- ceipts will go to the aforesaid gymna- sium as the associations could not give cash prizes for each of the events All entries should be made not later than May 27th.
 Yours truly,
 O. s. STAPLEY.
 Chairman.

REPUBLICANS WERE LATE.

The Republicans were late yesterday morning owing to a mishap of some kind between Tempe and Phoenix. and were sent from Tempe to Mesa in the regular mail. From the number of calls that came in from those wanting to know where their paper was and why their paper had not been delivered it is evident that there must be in the neighborhood of four or five thousand subscribers in Mesa.

SUPREME COURT GRANTS
WRIT OF ERROR TO HARRIS
School Superintendent Has Chance to
Escape Penitentiary Term For
Killing Thompson.

RICHMOND, VA. Nov. 9-Professor
!. ID Harris. of Warrenton. the school
superintendent who was sentenced TO
serve four years in the penitentiary
for the murder of w. A. Thompson,
editor of the Warrenton Virginian.
viii have another chance to escape
that sentence.
The Supreme Court of Appeals to-
day granted writ OF error in the
case which comes from the Circuit
Court OF Fauquier county.
Professor Harris was in charge OF
the graded schools of Warrenton and
was at one time the conductor OF a
summer normal school. He had to
have good deal of printing done, and
he made an agreement with Mr..
THOMPSON to do the work. He was
also a subscriber to Thompson S
paper, and from these two sources the
animosity that led 10 the killing arose.
Professor Harris was compelled to
take the printing contract from
Thompson. and later he had disa-
greement with Thompson as to the
subscription 10 the papo-.
That was the beginning OF the trou-
bic, and on April "a. of this year.
Thompson met Harris on the street
and began 10 renew his aOuse and
villificat.on of Harris.
Thompson was a man of large build,
while Harris was small and frail. The
record filed in the court asserts that
Thompson had never lost chance to
curse, abuse and to attack Harris,
and on the day of the shooting. after
Harris had gotten of the sidewalk
to avoid meeting Thompson, the lat
ter followed Harris into the street
and caught hold of his coat and began
to curse and beat him, Harris warn
ing him to desist. Finally Harris pull
ed out his revolver, and the record
shows that he fired two shots into the
ground to warn Thompson. but the
latter continued to beat Harris, and
then two shots were fired into the
body of Thompson in an effort 10 pre-
vent Thompson from killing him.
