A delegation of ri Paso citizens

delegation:
Ell Paso is an applicant for the
1918 March convention of the Cattle
Raisers' Association of TEXAS. We
claim the right to entertain the as
ISOLATION at that date on many
grounds. amongst which are. first We
have often been promised this pri'e-
lere during the years elapsing since
the association last assembled here
ten years ago; second, because TINS
section has large membership IN
the association who have continual
Nv insisted that you meet again IN
Ell Paso: third. because of the large
number of cattlemen who are not
members of the association but VINO
would be ii the association met mere
fourth, because of the fact that You
have lost former members by delay
ing TO meet here, and because OF the
many other good and sufficient
grounds which might be urged for
your netting again with us, When
YOU met here years ago, We enter
tanned YOU To your satisfaction, while
today we are many times more able
to do YOU Justice. We have much 20
show YOU which We did not then
have and many new features WITH
which to entertain you; all of which
We will enumerate when our commit
tee meets the members AT Fort North
in March next. We ask only fair
play from the association. which
means that now and then the as
ISOLATION should 70 elsewhere foI
its meetings than either Fort Worth

the fact that those are both splendi'
cities and have entertained us royal

SUMM ONSES INSTEAD OF WAR
 RANTS.

Last week we published an arti- cle in which judge referred to the fact that there had been more than 60,000 persons wrcngfully arrested in Chicago during the past year. He asserted that these men had been taken 10 the lookup charged with later been found not guilty, and that il would h,-ve been infinitely more just if summonses instead Of warrants of arrest had been served on them.
 There can be no question raised regarding the reasOnableness of this judges argument any more than there can be in respect to the practicability of the summons sys- tenn In England, Canada. and many European countries the sum- mons system is in universal use and no question has ever been raised regarding it's efficiency.
 Particularly in Alaska is a vast amount of injustice worked through the arbitrary arrest of persons charged with petty offenses. In some cases information is laid be- cause of spite, the complainant vent ing his spleen through the district attorneys office. and accomplishing his purpose of getting even al no risk 10 himself Suppose. for in stance, man located out in the Birch creek country has trouble with a neighbor and develops a grudge. The first time he is in town he goes to the district attorneys office and swears that his dog has been killed. or something to that effect.
