is one of the comparatively few sue
cessfUl examples of preaching through
q story. It is a spirited and engrossing
novel. and at the same time a plea and
an argument for prohibition. In fact,
it is the strongest presentation of the
revolutionary cause which we remem-

every advantage by the author. and
then it is shown how he can be over

The hero of the story, of course. is
the central figure in the prohibition
fight. and the grim determination with
which in such a contest the liquor in

 Certainly TIE OASIS justilies such importation. But it advocates that the cattle imported shall pay liberally toward the support of the general government, as .he Silver Belt well knows, and the Republican policy of protection seeks to foster commerce with other nations as we'll as to de- yelop home industries. It proposes that those citizens on the border and sea coast whose interests lead to for eign trade shall have chance to do business. just as well as those in the interior who produce shall have the same chance. That is what TIE OASIS has advocated, and in no sense has there been any inconsistency in any position this paper has taken.

ABOUT twelve hundred dollars are annually drawn from the Nogales road district to swell the road fund of Pima county. In all fairness that amount of money should be expended in this district, and those adjoining, on the roads connecting Nogales with those outlying districts.

KERrNs AND rILLEy.

The nomination of Richard C. Kerens by the caucus of the republi- cans in the Missouri Legislature for the office of United States Senator IS the logical consequence Of recent poll tical developments in the state. HIS competitor for the honor-for itis cer- tainly a higlfcOmpliElent Co be thus chosen from the body of party leaders for mark of popular favor and public contidence--was Chauncey |. t'illey, and the vote was peril0usly close. The unusual expcdient of secret ballot was invoked, and consequently 1t is difficult to discover how any particu- lar senator or member voted unless ne voluntarily discloses it. But 1t does not require great measure of perspi- cacity to estimate the causes that produced the result.
 Chauncey |. Filley, virile, tenacious of purpose and courageous in encoun- ter. tied himself up two years ago t0 an oath bound organization of pros pective aims and purposes, and in so far as he could, committed the Re publican party of the state to its for tunes. In the preliminary canvass for the Republican nomination this organization opposed Maj. Mckinley with all the vigOr it could summon to the work. When Mckinley was nom- mated. Filley betrayed his disappoint- meut, and by inaction in the campaign provoked suspicious against his fidelity to the ticket. These incidents nat urally aligned such intimate friends of Mai. Mckinley as Mark Hanna and other party managers with the oppo- sition to Filley, and that the distrlou- tion of party fayors is about to begin, the potential loadstone of expectation draws every aspiraDt for public office | into the ranks If the favored.
 The incident is interesting, more over, because it indicates the speedy dissolution of the A. F. A. organiza- tion. Because of his identity with l that force in politics, Mir. Filley sup ported Webster Davis Of this town Tor the republican nomination Tor gov ernor, and gave him all the strength he possessed in his absurd aspiration for that office. But in the senatorial nomination yesterday Mir Davis was among the most active and earnest supporters of kerens. That fact in itself proves that the obligations or | the secret order are no longer binding and when diSntegration sets in it will be rapid as well as complete. Asrats flee from sinking ship, politicians i hasten away from a lost cause, and It may assumed that with the defeat of Filley yesterday he grave of the A. F. A. was dug. Kansas City Star.
 While written for Missouri the fore going has a much wided application, as some people will learn.
