rHE RE AsON WHY.

It is the province and privilege nay the duty--of newspapers to discuss and critize public men and public affairs, just as it is the duty ol lawyers to discuss the affairs of their clients before courts. In per. forming that duty newspapers and editors have frequently to rail at each other just as lawyers do in in court. But lawyers don't feel that they have to damage each other financially just to play even with an antagonist. They don't go around offering their professional services at cut rates. On the other hand when a client disputes a fee all the bench and bar stand ill to- gether to declare the fee charged was reasonable. Why cannot the newspaper profession deal with each other in the same way? Why fight each the others purse as we'll as each the others penn No client asks a lawyer to hurt himself financially when fighting his case. No lawyer would play into the hands of his client to ruin the op- posing attorney. Why should the advocate at the bar of public opinion hold himself any more cheaply than the advoca,e at the bar of court9
 But the reason is not far to seek. As in Santa Cruz county. the crim- inal element sutsidize and hold up hoping to run out of the field the honest journal which fears not to expose them.

THE OASIS has shown that at the Nogales custom house the civil ser vice examinations have been crimi- nally manipulated, the pay-rolls have been padded to give govern ment money to those who have not earned it, and perjury has been committed; while it has also shown that the board of supervisors en- tered into an illegal contrac, for jail cells, for which an exorbitant price was contracted. To none of these charges has the organ of the push" made the least attempt to reply. Why not? Yet if the charges so explicitly made are un- true each and every assertion is criminal libel for which the editor of THE OASIS is liable to a long term of imprisonment. Why don't they prosecute for libell Because they know that in court he could and would prove everything he has asserted about their nefarious tran sections.

the cwo thousand dollars oi steal age tha. was 50 plainly ill tue jail cells contract? Very likely you didn't know there was such margin
 for thieves in office until you saw 1t so stated in THE OASIS last week.
 But now that you do know it your duty is to find who were going to divide that two thousand dollars had not District Attorney Harlow headed of the deal, and inform the public who were the thieves and how they expected to share ths plunder. These are vital subjects MT. EKey. The people of Santa Cruz county don't care whether THE OASIS editor is a liar or otherwise, but they would like to hlve replies to the inquiries here propounded.

THE Frontier Fronterizo of a week ago said: We have a deep interest ill the government of Santa Cruz County. We are endorsers of their bonds to the extent of their entire indebtedness. If she fails, at any time, to 'pungle up inter est or principal we will then see more clearly why it is we have no laugh coming over the way Gal lagher is letting her go' in Noga- les, and yet all that Tucson's Star sees in the calamitous state of af- fairs there IS the hair-pulling and shin kicking of Nogales weeklies!

The letter Dick Reynolds received from the civil service commission at Washington last year, has never been mentioned. When Dick was discharged from the position of customs inspector he lodged com plaint with the civil service com mission that he had been removed in violation of the civil service act. The chairman of the commission returned reply that MT. Reynolds resignation from office had been forwarded to Washington by the collector of customs at Nogales and was on file in the treasury depart ment.
 Mir. Reynolds ayers most positive ly that he never wrote ol signed such resignation. In that case someone in Nogales committed for gerry. Who is the forger?

THOSE whom THE OASIS repre- sents in Sanla Cruz county have always maintained that the push, " whose nefarious practices they have opposed, are criminal by instinct and in practice. Recent events have demonstrated the truth of the position maintained, and evidence is fast accommodating. Their brazen defiance of law and outrageous over- riding of the rights of others have opened the eyes of all the people to their criminality.

THE Oasis is pleased to con- gratulate Captain J. A. Baldwin of the Ninth U. s. Infantry regiment upon his promotion to Major. In February of last year Captain Bald win visited Nogales with Governor McCord. As a soldier and as a gentleman Major Baldwin is with out reproach.

WHEN the matter is fairly ex- plained all citizens are unqual- i6edly opposed to having Julio Ullman or any other custom house sneak entering mail cars and snoop- ing among their letters. They have no business in the mail car in the first instance; and when people re- call how crooked they have been in other matters-civil service exam nations and padded pay-rolls- they are naturally suspicious of their motives in cultivating mail agents and entering mail cars.

THE record shows that the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county contracted for four jail cells to cost thirty-tive hundred dollars. Justice Joseph Taylor will testify that fifteen years ago he construct ed five cells in the jail at Tomb stone for less than eighteen hun dred dollars. Experts are prepared to testify that the cells contracted for Santa Cruz county should cost not to exceed fifteen hundred dol lars. THE OASIS has insisted there was Q steal in the transaction somewhere. Now if these asser- tions are not true they are libellous and the law will severely punish the offending editor, If they are true the people want to know. How can they do so unless a news paper has the courage to print the facts7 If the assertions published are untrue why don't the push" push the e8itor rvpcr a 2tacge sf fihefE

WHILE constitutional and statute

WHILE constitutional and statute law protect newspaper in publish ing the truth, 1t does not protect the publication of falsehood. In that particular tue law of libel is very strict upon the offending pub fisher. If, as the push" assert, the publication of the record they have made is false why don't they proceed ill the courts?

1 sast week the Nidette had the following characteristic communi- cation from MT. EKey:
 EDITOR VIDETTE-The editor oi THE OASIS or any other person is liar who says that I take orders f.'om U. s. Collector of Customs Chenoweth or any other person.
 R. EKEY. MT. EKey shows his very new ness, not only to public office but to the uses and customs of modern civilization, by the ease, facility and frequency with which he replies to every statement displeasing to him by giving the lie. Such methods went out of vogue long years ago, and reputable people and journal ists of standing pay no attention to utterances so splenetic.
 That Supervisor Ekcy does not take orders directly from Collector of Customs Chenoweth may possi- bly be true; but anyone who has observed attentively the modes and methods of boards of supervisors which THE OASIS editor and the district attorney have both done in a professional way these many years-can see with half an eye that iu the board of Santa Cruz county Supervisor Ekey is worked by concealed strings; and a close observer does not have to search very far without finding that the strings all lead directly to the hand of Collector Chenoweth. THE OASIS will grant that MT. EKey is honest and don't know he is being worked; but worked he is all the same.
 While MT. EKey has his hand in let him put his pen to paper again and inform the people of Santa Cruz county few things they wish very much to know, and which are of much greater consequence to the taxpayers than hequestion whether THE OASIS editor is liar or not.
 First, the people of Santa Cruz county would like to know, MT. EKey, why the "push" were so anxious to force George Atkinson out of the board of supervisors? MT. Atkinson is widely known as a re- spectable, upright citizen, and be- side, he he'd served at least one term in the board of supervisors of Pima county. He was the only supervisor upon the board. Why, MT. EKey, were your crowd so dead set to get rid of him3
 When they had got rid of him, MT. EKkey, and you were installed in his stead, why was there so great 1 haste in closing that jail cells con tract, without due advertisement, as required by law, and awarding the contract to the lowest responsible bidder?
 And why, Mir EKey, was the contract let for thirty-fve. hun fred and forty-fve dollars, cash

party which was composed of two
ladies and a gentleman all passen-
gers on the China took ride to
Punchbowl. When they reached the
dangerous narrow point on the road
the horse SHE'D and attempted to
jump over the stone wall. The
driver succeeded in checking the
animal while the passengers got out
in double quick time. He then left
his seat handing the reins to the
gentleman endeavoriug to get the
horse which was half way over the
wall pulled back to the road. The
horse was plunging wildly and sud-
denly succeeded in getting over the
wall dragging the carriage with it
down the steep incline. When help
arrived the horse was tangled up
with the carriage but unhurt. The
only damage was broken shaft.
The tourists secured another vehicle
