"TELL THAT TO THE MARINES.

Both Golfers Weekly and Harper's Weekly have presented editorially that there is actually 4 division of sentiment in Arizona upon the advisability and policy of accepting annexation of New Mexico to create the stateof Arizona; and the rabid part of the anti-iointure press have been throwing fits" at the rate Of about three spasms per issue. The Arizona Republican asserts that some of tho points presented by Harper and Collier have not been set forth in the Arizona newspapers supporting iointure. 10 that TIE OASIS most respectfully takes exception. In discussion of the reasons why the people of Arizona should and prob ably will adopt statehood, even with annexation of New Mexico, this journal has presented all the very points now asserted by the Republican as not having ap peared. It has asserted that the tax shirking railway and mining corporations oppose joint-statehood because they fear that if the people are given an opportunity to frame and adopt constitution there would be put into that instrument bullion tax provision, such as Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and other states have in their fundamental laws; a mine inspection provision, such as that in the constitution of Wyoming; an elective board of equalization such as that in the California con
 titution, giving the people power to regulate taxation of railways; and railway commission, such as that in the Texas constitution. giv- ing the people power to regulate freights and fares. THE OASIS has charged all these things; and it| has charged that the corporations oppose joint-statehood because they fear to let the people get to the work of constitution making. The history of constitution making shows that the people are always ready to take unto themselves power whenever they have the op- portunity that is given in framing and adopting q constitution; and 10 one has read that history more closely than the men who represent corporate interests in Arizona. They have read how the people in their fundamental laws have trimmed the wings of corporations in Texas and other states, and they have observed how much easier 1t IS to control d small state than large one, consequently they are opposed to the union of Arizona and New Mexico in one great state; and there is reason to believe that at heart they are opposed to single statehood, for the very same reason Hear of what the people would do If given a chance to frame and adopt q state constitution.

ceremony there was no letting down
of the tension of interest. The passing
of a uniformed horseman was sufficient
to call forth cheers, although in some
sections the multitude showed signs of
restlessness. This was true particularly
on the outskirts of the throng where,
pressed by constantly arriving recruits,
many struggled to get nearer to the
point of interest. The effect upon the
densely packed multitude was a contin-
uou surgihg backward and forward
a turbulent sea of humanity.
The rendezvousing of the troops, COM
mittees and civic societies entertained
the crowd throughout the long wait in
cident to the schedule. The various or
CARNATIONS arriving by different routes
passed into the narrow defiles which the
police kept open, the brilliant uniforms
of the troops, the bright sashes of the
committees and the rich caparisoning
of the horses lending themselves to a
Kaleidoscope, panoramic effect. Cheers
upon cheers greeted the constantly
shifting picture.
AS rapidly as the troops arrived they
took the positions assigned them. The
military escort stretched far to
the left and consisted of all
branches of the service-horse,
foot and artillery. To the right
were grouped division after division of
state troops, and in different places of
honor the other organizations took their
stand to await the signal to move.
The movements of the gathering
troops and organizations were not all
the crowd had for its entertainment.
Directly in its front preparations were
in progress for the Inauguration itself.
The monster stand, in the form of an
open amphitheater, accommodating
1000 persons. had been erected on a line
with the rotunda of the capitol and there
decorators were engaged in arranging
for the ceremony and ushers busted
themselves learning the sections to be
assigned to the various officials and dis
tinguished guests.
Notables Begin to Arrive.
Shortly after noon. just following the
induction into Office of Vice President
Fairbanks, the monster stand, decorat-
ed with plants, flowers, flags and bunt.
ing. began to fill with the people who
had just finished witnessing the cere-
monies in the senate chamber, and
scarcely a half hour passed before this
coign of vantage was filled to over
flowing. Added to the color afforded by
the plants and bunting were the bril-
liant costumes of the women, and these
put on a touch of variety which rivaled
the occasion of four years ago.. Every
ledge about the capitol and the win
dows were filled to the point of overflow
ing with their human burdens, and long
before the official party appeared the
streets were damned as far as the eye
could reach.
Several minutes before one o'clock an
extra loud burst of cheers from the
multitude just in front of the main
capitol door called the attention from
the brilliant parade of uniforms in the
street to the official party, which had
just come through the main door. "The
president, there he u.s." and similar
cries came from the assembled popu-

endar of events for the day, was the
induction of Senator Fairbanks, of
Indiana, into the office of the vice
president of the United States in the
senate chamber. The ceremony was
brief and simple to the extent of be-
ing severe. Immediately following the
address and oath of Vice President Fair
banks came the final adjournment of the
Fifty-eighth congress and the beginning
of the special session.
Many other events, such as the swear
ing in of almost a third membership
of the senate and various routine duties,
which were in themselves Of great i'm
port, were thrust into the background
by the impressive ceremonies which pre-
coded. Solemn and yet brief" is the
way the taking of the oath impressed
the spectators. 1t consisted of a prom
Use, made with uplifted hand and bowed
head, to perform the duties of the Of
fee and to support and defend the con-
%stitution of the United States. This
was the oath of office. and it was admin
istered by Senator Frye as president pro
tempore of the senate. The two officials
stood confronting each other on the ele-
waited platform on which rests the desk
of the preceding officer of the senate,
practically on the same spot on which
all the incoming vice presidents for the
past so years have stood.
Regarding the notables who were
present at the ceremony in the senate,
practically the same %personages were
seen at this event as were present about
an hour later at the Inauguration of the
president. Every niche and Granny in
the gallery was filled with people. That
section which is generally used private
ly by the senators was turned over to
the executive party and directly oppo-
site that quarter newspaper men were
busily engaged p~ortraying the scenes
about them. Outside of these two
quarters of the gallery persons hold
ing special tickets were seated.
Shortly before u the special guests
began to arrive. The president was
seated in a big red leather chair i'm
mediately in front of the desk of the
presiding officer and was an interesting
spectator Of the ceremony in which he
himself had participated four years ago.
The induction ceremony did not con
sumo more than two minutes of time and
was administered by Mr.. Frye, presid-
ing officer of the senate.
With the last positive thump Of the
gavel upon the desk Senator Frye re-
linquished his position as president pro
tenn. by announcing the end of that
body. Taking a seat to one side Mr..
Fairbanks took his place and began his
inaugural address. This was followed
by the prayer of DR.. Edward
Everett Hale. Then the organiza-
ton of the senate was complet-
ed, the oath in each case being adj
ministered by Mr.. Fairbanks. Immedi-
ately upon the adjournment the guests
began to file out of the gallery aud prep
arations were begun for the inaugura-
ton Of the president.

Washington, d. c.. March Al do

With these words Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States for the
past three years, was Saturday in
augurated for another term to the high
est Office which it is the privilege of an
American citizen to attain,
Chief Justice Fuller, with all the
solemnity of the three other occasions
of like character in which he has fig
ured during his career, administered
the oath to the president. This was the
fourth and last instance in which the
chief justice is to be the second figure
of Importance. Hardly had the presi-
dent finished his inaugural address and
disappeared within the capitol building
than the hush which had fallen upon
the spectators when he raised his hand
preparatory to taking the oath was
broken by the deafening roar of 81 guns
in official salute to the executive, just
entering upon his second term as presi-
dent.

A hush was noticeable in the crowd.
The official entrance was dramatic. All
except those who were participating in
the ceremony were seated. When the
justices of the supreme court, with the
exception of Chief Justice Fuller.
emerged from between the Corinthian
pillars and marched down the sloping
carpeted aisle to their station they were
greeted with applause. The justices
wore their robes and skull-caps. Then
came the members Of the diplomatic
corps, in their gorgeous uniforms, and
they evoked thunderous applause. Led
by Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador and dean of the corps, and fol
lowed by the Others in order of prece-
dence, they took seats on the right OF
the stand. Strolling in after them came
members of the cabinet, senator. and
representatives in congress.
Hush as President Comes.
Following on the heels Of the official
party came Mrs. Roosevelt and a party
of friends; then, but moment later, the
new vice president, Mr.. Fairbanks, and
his escort arrived and were greeted by
tremendous bursts of applause. AS oon
as Vice President Fairbanks seated him
self the cheers ceased, the military pre-
sented arms, every hat in the commit
tees came off and the great ocean of peo-
pie set up a perfect roar Of cheers, fair
ly shouting itself hoarse.
Quick as a flash every sound was stilled
and President Roosevelt, quiet and COM
posed of demeanor, came from between
the gigantic pillars, escorted by Chief
cheers came from the front of the crowd
as with measured tread, in harmony
with the dignified step of the chief JUS
tice, the president advanced in state
down the long aisle of distinguished
guests. By this time all were standing
and nothing could be heard above the
roar of thunderous welcome. lmmedi-
ately following came, arm in arm, the
members of the committee on arrange
ments. AS the president passed down
the aisle he barred his head and with
characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in
acknowledgement of the salutations
from the stand and the ovation from the
people.
The man of the hour was before the
most representative gathering that had
ever assembled to greet the chief execu-
tive of the nation Upon a like occasion.

Demented Man Wandered in Cold.

After losing his way and wandering
in the snow and cold for three days and
two nights, j. H. Morris, a patient in
the st. Joseph asylum for the insane,
reached his home at Trenton, where
he now lies in a very dangerous condi-
ton. Both his feet were severely
frozen and he has pneumonia, from
which his recovery is said to be doubt
full. Morris was sent to the asylum
from Trenton as a county patient yer
a year ago. He was released on parole
and sent home without an attendant.
Instead of going to Trenton, however,
he got off the train at Hickory, a small
station six miles west. From there he
wandered for two days and nights. One
night he slept in a country church and
another in a haystack.
