A Matter of Justice

All the propositions which will be submitted to the taxpayers of this city worthy ones and if voted will contribute to the upbulding of the city, There is not dollar asked for that would not re- turn to the city many fold We regard the subrnis- sion of these propositions opportunities for profitable investment
 But there are two of them for which special appeal must be made. They propose justice to new but large section of Phoenix, the additions which have recently been taken in. One of these propositions Is for the issuance of bonds to the amount of s4500o0 for the extension of the water distributing system and the other asks for $14OOOO for the extension of the sewer system.
 These extensions proposed for the thickly settled new additions lately incorporated and which bv the act of their incorporation made assume their share of indebtedness of the whole city for similar facilities which other parts of the city enjoy It would be manifest injustice withhold from them these advantages to which they plainly titled
 Even If we were disposed to deny them what be- longs to them it would in the end to do it. It is to the advantage the whole city that these additions should thrive and grow and should take on the values that will to them with growth Unless these additions put equal footing with the rest the city not expect from them cooperation in the development of the whole city.

The Honored conseientiou. obieetors

Our pacifist' secretary of has at last suc- ceeded in relieving the last of the conscientious ob Jectors and in extenuation he informs Each case has been considered its merits and the prin cple which they have been considered is remit much of the sentence as the normal peace time penalty for the offenses charged"
 Has 1t not occurred to MT. Baker that in normal peace times there could have been offenses charged? The offenses of which these have been convicted could not have been committed at time when the country was at peace. There must have been setting of for their crimes. In time of peace may be much of a conscientious objector to war as he pleases. He may preach against war and denounce in the most unmeasured terms nations which go to and he may call upon his countrymen not to go If the nation should decide upon In time of peace think of nothing the conscientious objector might do bring down upon himself any punishment.
 Therefore, the sentences passed upon these pets of our pacifst secretary named without refer ence to the end of the war and on-coming peace They included the terms which the military courts intended these criminals to serve regardless of periods of peace war
 It is this sort of lepiency which the American Legion in national convention two months ago de- nounced as well as the sympathy shown by the retary of with the kind of criminals when the in progress; when he intervened in be- half of conscientious objectors in the camps who were under punishment for obstinately refusing to perform the duties assigned them. Lesser recalci- trancy the part of the average American soldier would have subjected him to court martial and se- punishment
 The intervention of the secretary behalf of these creatures many whom were German sympathizers and enemies of their country procured them honor able discharge from the service they had con sistently disgraced.

 HUNG! Demetrio Dominguez Dangles Down
 ward Murderer Of Thomas Executed

Demetrio Dominguez, one of the three Mexicans who murdered Mir. Thomas two miles above Gillett last Nov. 27, died on the gallows today as penalty for his crime. Mir. Thomas was coming from Prescott in the stage which was attacked. and robbed, and he received injuries from which he died. He had previously been foreman of the Tip Top mine and it was thought that the murder was com mitted in spite. A full account was published in the Herald at the time His part in the crime is fully set forth in his confession which we publish today. 1t was written by the prisoner yesterday afternoon at the request of the Herald and was translated for us.
 Dominguez was a young looking man., said to be about IT. He has passed most of his time lately writing letters to his countrymen and asking a rescue from his fate. The letters, of course, were not delivered.
 The gallows was erected about half a mile west Of town, near the burying grounds, his grave being dug next to those of McClosky (the murderer of John Le Barr) and Keller (the slayer of Luke Monihon) and not more than 90 feet from the gallows. He left the jail about half past F, being conveyed

 The guard formed a square around the frame. Everything was conducted very quietly. The death warrant was read by the sheriff and after the doomed man muttered a few words which were unintelligfble he was strapped at the knees the elbows and each wrist to the leg. the black cap was drawn over his head and the trar was sprung, and the doomtd man was on his long journey after a few con- the lawful time he was cut down and buried.
 The confession of Dominguez, nearly a column in length, was then printed He admitted his presence at the kill ing of Thomas, but said he was there unwillingly, two Mexicans having com pelled him with threats of death t accompany them in the attack upor | the stage. Dominguez said that h, unhitched the horses from the stage | but that was the extent of his partici 1 patton in the affair. The man wh' fired the shot that killed Thomas, h. said, was Firmin Finebras.

The disclosures in the Brinden case in New York in which has been developed that that head of the building trades council had employed his office to bleed contractors the price of protecting them against strikes bring out nothing new. Fifteen or twenty years ago there was similar episode there and we recall the business agent was sent to the pententiary
 He had the sympathy of organized labor which regarded the prosecution of him as an attack upon labor; though it shown that he had received money for preventing strikes; that he had imposed strikes against contractors who refused to be bed and that when worxmen refused to strike to assist him in levyng blaclmail they were murderouslv as- sauited by hired thugs and driven from their jobs Tnen' too rival employers hired his agency to ern- barrass one another. They hired him to call strikes
 We trust that such example will be made this time of Brinden and his associates that it will be many years before another labor leader will attempt to make such use of his position. It is a favor able sign that now organized labor is offering no defense of Brinde It is fortunately the business of cleansing itself and is disposed to stand for such crimes he committed in it's name It cannot he held responsible for what he has done.
 But we cannot say so much for the men of means who bought immunity from Brindell and remained silent about 1t they put their own immediate interests above of the public
