A DlFFEaEN:E IN SYSTEMS.

THE OASIS is in receipt of a com, munication from an American gentlem in Sonora taking this new4plper tD task f1r it's recent criticism upon the magazine articles of which SO much has been sail lately, entitled "Barbarous Mexico" The writer enclosed clipping from the Mexican Herald which presented an account of the unjust incarceration at Guadala- iara of Conductor Sheperd of the Mexican Central, as an instance in point against the assertion of THE OASIS that in it's dealings with cor porations the Mexican system is superior to that of the United States. It seems that under the law Mir. Sheperd has been impris- oned for contributory neglect in the robbery of a freight car that was in his train entering the city of Guadaldjira. From what TIE OASIS has been able to gather from the Quad llaj .ra and Mexico papers the law is being followed in the Shepsrl case; and it is very likely that it is an unjust law which Is visiting unnecessary punishment upon a man who has committed no wrong. But it does not initiate against the declaration of TIE OASIS that in some phases of its dealings with corporations the system is euperior to the American system. Nor does it justify the sweeping condemnation of Mexico shown in the magazine articles that were critiaise by this newspaper.

Mexleo's Proposed Mlnlng Law.

The new mining law, as passed hy the chamber of deputies in its spring session, has had it's first reading in the senate without modi ficatiOn.
 It is now thought that this meas ure will go through in the form in which it was passed by the depu ties. Since the elimination of the proposed article IA, which forbade foreign companies, to deaounce or acquire mining properties in any form in the republic, the law con. tains no striking innovation.
 The chief obj4ct is to facilitate mining operations, by removing obstacles and difficulties which had been found to exist under the law of 1892. For example. the difficult. ties that can be placed in the way of announcement by third parties are greatly reduced under the new law, and the procedure in cases of opposition will be much more rapi and will prevent obstruction- i>ts from making tro lblr on purely captions grounds. In like manner, the provisions of the new law in the matter of appropriation and servitude are very liheral, and are framed in an especial manner to favor the mining industry.
 It will be remembered that a short time ago there was consider able talk of the m Iliti :atiOn of the law in such a m tnnrr aI to ficili. tate the construction of adventurer tunnels and drainage tunnels for unwatering various properties. It WIS underStol that c lngresSman Gabriel Nancera ln nlked with favor on the tunnel project. Under the old law he had commenced great ] tunnel in the Parhnca camp. but aS the law Of 1892 did not recOg nize such tunnels. work on it has been suspended for many years. Mir. Mancera is not actuated in this matter by mercenary consider. ations, as the Pachuca tunnel, il ever completed, has been donated by him as an endowment for an "Asilo de Ancianos," or home for aged pensioners at Pachuca.
 The tunnel prop ;silion, however has aroused considerable oppusi- tion on the part of mining inler- ests, and as the new law contains ample provisions for drainage ser vitudes, it is not thought that the tunnel clause will be changed = Mexican Herald.

the hnglo OdXOn ln MeAlCo tleIo is no doubt; and when such cases arise the diplomatic service of the two countries is called into requisi- ton, as i1 the case now in the Sheperd matter, which Is in course of adjustment between the two governments, and matters are be- ing arranged aInicahly. Without doubt Mr. Sheperd will be released shortly through the intercessi"n of the Washington authorities. Under direction of President Taft the State Department has taken up the matter.
 Americans in Mexico should not lose sight of the fact that they have taken a residence under system of government and jurisprudence widely different from that to which they have been accustomed in their native land. That system is the specialization of ages of ofexperience on the part of the race that has made i's home there under the conditions there prevailing. Like our own institutions those of Mex. ico are a growth, and they cannot be altered in a day. With the growth in civiliz .tion of the Mexi can people those institutions will continue to grow. Yet at all times there will be points of variance where friction m y be possible, and where it is incumbent upon both si les to get along with le e,st am )nnt of such friction. In other words the American in Mexico must accumulate him self to conditions there, just as the Mexican in the United States has to do. And it does not help those Americans who are in Mexico, doing business and  with all their m lterial interests there to have American magazines and newspapers railing at the en tire system and people, when there my b. c,ted things at hun, thlt are just as bld if not wDrse.
 Nowhere Is the diff srence be- tween th9 tw) systems m)re strik ing thln along the border, and there is hlrdly a term of court in any of the border counties of Ari. zInl thlt there do not appear clses th.t the Anglo-5 system fails to Gt, in which it is app Ire n, that could the Lltin system O jurispru lenoe be appliel the cas- would be settled far more qnickl, anl istly. [t woull b. d goo, ilea cluld there b9 applied tn, co le of Mexico in some cases aris ing in 5lnn Cruz and other borde counties. It would fit such case far better. Bit under our inslitu tions and system it cannot be, anc justice has to be ad ninisteret
 under our own forms in the bes
 way possible.

HEROISM NEEDED,
PASTOR ASSERTS
No Other Element Re
spends, the Rev. Donald
c. Macleod Says.

Taking for his text the verse in st.
John. I am the Good Shepherd and the
Good Shepherd lays down His life for His
Sheep" the Rev. Donald c. Macleod,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
this morning delivered a short sermon
on the Heroic Element in Christianity.
Or. MacLeod's sermon was brief, rather
in the nature of a talk, because of the
fact that communion services were to
be held afterward.
The heroic element he said, was the
only element which responds to the
needs Of humanity. Some men look out
over tie world and see empires and
kingdoms: others in their survey see
great Industrial opportunities and re-
wards; others see fame and glory and
great name, but Jesus Christ saw the
needs OF humanity: He saw the ills Of
mankind, the troubles and worries of
all.
Men appeal TO Christ, DR.. Macleod
said. He looks, at them in a, fashion
different from that In which they look
at one another. AS a rule, most men see
only in others the things that interest
them: they care for nothing beyond
that. Jesus saw au the smaller things
in man, the things particular and per-
sonal to Him. He sYmpathiZed vita
men on account of these things which
He saw and understood.
There are other kinds of heToism, but
the highest kind is TO respond 10 the
needs OF humanity. The only satisfac-
tory response is that of the heroic.
!asus Christ responded to the cry, for
lie responded TO the heroic.

TO HONOR MOTHERS
ON THEIR OWN DAY
General Observance Expect
ed in Washington Next
Sunday.

Mothers day. next Sunday, IS to be
observed generally in Washington this
year. although last year was the first
tins the idea of setSng apart such a
day had been put in practice at ALL
Many of the churches viii observe il,
while il is expected thousands viii
wear white carnations.
a year ago the question Of observing
the day came up for debate in the
United States Senate on the initiative
Of Senator Burkett of Nebraska. Al
though the Senate did not finally 90 on
record in favor Of observing the day, a
considerable proportion of the mem
bers and employees wore white carna-
tiOns on the day.
This year in some States and IN
number of cities the governors and
mayors have issued prOcIamations for
the occasion, while many organizations
which are national IN scope have taken
UP the movement
The idea was originated by Miss Anna
Jarvis of Philadelphia The general
idea or tho day is that every person
should woar a white flower in honor of
his mother, and that if his mother is
living ne shall visit her if possible, but
If not telephone, telegraph, or write her.

CHARGE REFUTED
BY VI. 4. KINNEY
Accusation of Unfair Methods
on Part of Prosecution Is
Denied.

The contempt case, in which Maxine
Higginbotham and a large number of
other japanese are the respondents,
came up in Judge Robinson s court yes
terday afternoon at two o'clock, but
nothing was done Judge Robinson in
timated that, as the affidavits that had
been fled by the two sides in support
of their contentious were Numerically
opposite in the statements made in
them, he would like to hear testimony.
On motion, therefore. the case was set
for next Monday afternoon at which
time, unless another continuance is
granted, witnesses will be put on the
stand to testify as to whether or not
Maxine and his associates violated the
provisions Of the temporary injunction.
One of the affidayits filed by Light
foot in behalf Of his client stated that
the affidavit of Tanabe Toshiro, fled
by the prosecution, was obtained by
unfair means by Kinney and that To
shire was inundated into making the
damaging statements he did make and
then into signing the affidavit without
understanding what he was doing.
This is a pretty serious charge against
Mr.. Kinney, and the latter has made a
reply to it. Yesterday afternoon five
affidavits were fled by his firm in reply
to the affidavit mentioned above These
five are by Chester Doyle. NJ. F. Prosser,
Professor Walter Dening and S. De
Freest, the notary public before whom
Toshiro swore to the affidavit which
LightfoOt contends was obtained I'M
fairly.
The statements in all five of the
af1idavits are to the same effect, that
Toshro was not inundated, that he
was carefully examined and his state
ments translated by Chester Doyle and
set down in writing and that they were
then read overt him and explained in
japanese not only by Doyle but also
by Prof. Dening. Moreover Mr.. Kinney
was not even present, the examination
being conducted by Attorney NJ. F.
Prosser.
