He must have slipped cog, for within fifteen minutes a hack drove up to the hotel where the other gentleman was enjoying quiet game of slough" and there alighted in alarm his host, half dressed and very much worried, thinking something had happened to his guest In q few moments another hack stopped at the door and there alighted the wives of the two gentlemen, both in their night dresses. They too had taken alarm at the message, and had gone to the scene of the supposed accident to the husband of one and guest of the other without standing upon ceremony or waiting to dress.
 The gentleman for whom the alarm was taken says 'the Missouri Spanish of Mir. w. nearly ruined him."

university away from their town. The Gazette, which should know better, also attempts to dismiss the the unpleasant matter in this wise:
 "The Tucson Howler is attack ing Arizona's greatest educational institution again. There seems to be set determination on the part of certain individuals to force the University out of Pima county"
 The situation is presented by the allegation of the Citizen is plainly this: Either Chancellor Scott was sold the machinery by his fellow regents in violation of law, or he was not, and that is all there is to it. If the first part of the proposition be true, the chan cellor and the offending regents cannot be too quickly removed from office and criminal proceed ings instituted against them. If they did not commit the alleged violation of law the people of Arizona want to know the fact and will see properly punished those guilty of spreading the false allegation.
 It is the duty of Governor Brodie to institute a rigid investigation and probe the scandal to the bot tom. The honor of himself and his administration demands it. If he finds the allegations of the Citizen true he should immediately remove the offending university officials and direct their prosecu- tion. If an impartial and thorough investigation shows they have have been maligned, he should re- quest the district attorney of Pima county to present the Citizen to the next grand jury for indictment for libel. There is nor can be no middle ground.

CANNOT BE DISMISSED so EASILY,

Last week the Tucson Citizen presented the positive allegation that in direct defiance of law, which prohibits a territorial or county official from being inter ested in public contracts, the board of regents of the territorial univer
 sity have sold to Chaplain Win field Scott (as president of a min ing company), now chancellor of the university, and, it is alleged at the time of the sale one of the re- gents thereof, an engine and dynamo. The Citizen further all legged that while the machinery sold was worth at least S2.000 the purchase price was only $500 It is also alleged that no record appears anywhere in the books or archives of the university to show that the $500 was ever paid into the univer- sity fund or the territorial treasury.
 TIE OASIS can hardly credit the statement that Chaplain Scott would be guilty of so gross viola ton of law and his sworn duty as a public official. But the allega- ton that he has done so has been publicly and openly made, and it cannot be lightly dismissed, as now seems the disposition in certain quarters. When the publication appeared in Phoenix the Enterprise quoted Governor Brodie as saying that he had not before heard of the alleged sale of the machinery, and he was inclined to look upon the matter as another periodical at tack upon the university" and a bystander was quoted as saying that there seemed those in Tucson who are bent upon driving the

q Notable Wedding.

In Hermosillo, Wednesday even ing February the "A. at the resi- dence of Mir. R. Ruiz, one of the merchant princes of the Sonora capital, there were united in matri- mony Miss Maria Ruiz, daughter of Mir. Ruiz, and Mir. Charles Nor gan, superintendent of the Grand Central Mill at La Colorado.
 The palatial residence of MT. Ruiz was very beautiful y decorated for the occasion, and the high con. tracting parties pledged t h e r troth in the presence of many friends, including some of the most prominent people in Hermo- sillo and La Colorado.
 The bride is described as having presented very charming ap- pearaDce, the bridal costume be- ing white satin, with tulle veil and and orange blossoms, and she was attended by six bridesmaids.
 After the ceremony and conse- quent congratulations the guests participated in very enjoyable dance, and sumptuous banquet was served at midnight.

 cured in Manchuria and the reten- ton of that province beneath the influences of organism.
 The third point is that success of the Japanese will bring about an Asistic movement which will doubtless result in the coalescence of the Mongolian races of the Orient into a great and warlike confederation with Japan at its head. Her first and unremitting aim would be to convert into a great fighting machine the redund- ant millions of China, as she hos already done her own population. Then there would be possible the arising of another Ghengis Khan and later irruption of yellow barbarism into Europe, to the menace of Christian civilization and the protracted horrors of a racial war. That is not very pleasing subject to contemplate, but it is one of the possibilities, if not probabilities to result from success of the Japanese cause in the present war. Europe has sui fered just such invasions in the re- mote past. Her protection from repetitions thereof during recent centuries has been the advance in effectiveness made in European methods of warfare. The teeming millions of the Orient with their antiquated methods could not make headway to the west, and their rulers knew it, so no attempt was made. But let those teeming mil lions become proficient in modern warfare, flushed with victory of their kind over western warriors, and modern Europe may again see Mongolian warriors deploying upon her fertile and well tiled fields and laying waste her beauti- ful cities. These are matters for the American people to ponder and reflect before committing them selves in the present issue. Russia is today the champion of Chris tianity and civilization against Oriental organism. A rude and brutal champion, perhaps, but a champion. nevertheless. which it is the duty of Christian nations to sup port and sustain with their sym pathies.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

There seems extant among the people of the United States 8 marked disposition to sympathize with Japan as against Russia in the present conflict between those two great nations. THE OASIS is inclined to belief that should the American people stop for little reflection they would find several very cogent reasons for sending their sympathies toward Russia.
 In the first place when the Am erican people were in their own in- ternicine difficulty in the early sixties, and England, France and other European powers were await ing an opportunity for interven- ton, and consequent dismember- ment of the American republic, Russia was the only European power to openly sympathize with the American government in its desperate efforts to save defeat and ruin. The ruling classes of both France and England were openly and avowedly in sympathy with the movement for secession of the Confederate states, and in every way possible gave aid and comfort to the Southern Confederacy, while their governments main tained neutrality which was so straight that it leaned back the other way. Under pretext and in violation of the Monroe Doctrine they invaded Mexico, and there France establish a military des- potism seating upon it's throne a monarch who was a scion of an imperial house of Europe, whose crown was sustained by French bayonets. Russia sent to the Am erican shores a powerful fleet which anchored in New York harbor dur ing period of many months. its commander and officers giving through all that time most cordial demonstrations of the good will and sympathy of the Russian gov ernment and people for the Ameri- can reppblic It is part of the secret history of that time that the admiral of that fleet bore sealed instructions which he was to open only in case of intervention by France and England, and that the Russian chancelloric quietly conveyed to the governments of those respective nations an intima
 tion that the sealed instructions to their admiral were q declaration of war. That intimation very likely prevented foreign Intervention.
 Another point which should favor or Russia in the good will of the American people is that while she may be backyard in civiliza- tion. her civilization is Christian, as is our own, and that the success of her arms will mean spread of Christian civilization in the east, which will be eventually uplifted to our own levels. The civiliza- ton of Japan is pagan, and sue cess of the Japanese military operations will mean expulsion of the foothold Christianity has se-

QUEEN BEES.
