 The constitution was the swad- ding clothes of the infant republic It admirably answered the purpose intended one hundred years ago; but the republic has outgrown its childish garments, and they eau be no longer used as thongs to restrain its vigorous maturity. It was made for weak and inconseq uental people, with no railways, no tele- graphs, no telephones, no steam ships, and none of those great aids to human understanding and achievement now possessed by one of the greatest, most powerful and most intelligent nations on the face of the earth The constitution is of no further use to the people of the United States. What is wanted is a new fundamental instrument entirely. THE OASIS holds that it would be as sensible for a man to go courting with bis great grand fathers love letters as to try to govern the United States with the constitution framed by George Washington and Alexander Ham ilton.

A startling Hand

A story e mes from the santa Cruz. at a point not over one hundred miles from Nogales, nf how sweet ynung school ma'am inuucenty opened her mouth aud put her foot into it. one evening recently. to the great ammse. ment of every one present, aud to her own discomtiture when she was after ward told the significance of the words she had used. In the city where resides this youthful abeceda- rian whist Is popular and fascinating pastlme. It was at party where she held hand in the game that the "breakn occurred.
 To explain what it was it is here related that as synonym for misfor- tune Ariz0nians frequently allude to what happened to a certain historical parsonage among the early Arizona pioneers who came back from trip into Mexico sadly ''done up He had gone down there on business Urip, with fine team, wagon, harnesses, etc, and came back empty handed, afo0t and alone. What happened no one ever knew, but nearly every une in Arizona knows what Is meant whenever any aIlusion is made to his now historical trip. Now this young lady had frequently heard mention Of this old pioneer of long ago, but al- ways in the connection indicated In her innocence she supposed he had simply met with hard luck, and was in no way aware Uf the esoteric mean. ing of the sentence conveying the idea. S0 on one deal, when her part uer said tu her:
 What have you in your hand, Miss Blank"
 She sweetl, and iuDocently replied:
 Il think have what Pete Kitchen got in Sonora.
 The shout which went up covered her with confusion, but she turned over in her mind in wonderment the words she had uttered Go see if she could discover why they had caused so much merriment. Later she learned from some of the ladies the application of the expressions; and since that time, amid much confusion and many bushes, she has been bnsily engaged n explaining to all her lady friends that she had DO idea of the real meaning of the horrid words"

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MORALES. ARIZONA,
oureRowN ITS swAoDLsc CLOTHES

Alarmists of the Bryan and Hoar stripe are in throes of anguish over the expansion of the United States 70 include the Phillipines and other island possessions which have come as the result of victorious war, and they are filling columns of the daily newspapers with predictions of the dire results they assert will surely follow the acquisition of more territory. Their arguments are of the same old stuff which did service as a bugaboo in the same cause when Louisiana was acquired, when Florida was bought, when Texas was annexed and when Cal ifornia and other territory came by conquest. One of the most i'm pressive arguments-one which they utter with bated breaths and hands raised in holy horror-is that expansion is -c-o-n-s-t-i-t-u t-i-o-n-a-l. " To all these gentry the constitution of the United States is fetich to be worshiped whenever it can be conjured to head off anything they do not want. For instantCe, under Sena- tor Hoar's theory of the constitu- tion sovereign state could not be coerced and the doctrine of seces- sion was a political hersy. Yet Alexander Hamilton could have never secured ratification of the in- strument by the great state of New York had he not explicitly de -clared from the musings that if New York found after ratification that she was being imposed upon Dy neI sister states III the Union, her remedy would lay in with drawal What was that but the doctrine Of secession' In Virginia both Washington and James Madi
 son influenced the election for rat ihcation by making tue same de claration President Jefferson de clared that the acquisition of Louis jana was unconstitutional, but he went ahead and acquired all that vast territory. The facts are that by that very acquisition the con- stitution was rent in twain by Jeff ferson; it was quartered with the annexation of Texas and the ac- quisition of California; and it was
