A MATTER OF PARTY POLICY.

With expiration of the Fifty- eighth congress at the close of the legislative day during the night oi March 3d, the statehood bill died in conference committee, all pro- posed statehood legislation is now dead, and 50 far as are concerned their hopes for Arizona, New Mex leo and Oklahoma, those territories are right where they were two years ago.
 By way of reminder THE OASIS will here outline the history of the proposed legislation which has now fallen, and some collateral history which will throw some interesting side lights upon the subject.
 1t will be recollected that the measure which has since been know as the Hamilton bill was framed in caucus of Republican members of the house of represent atives early in the first session of the Fifty-eighth congress. The proposed measure provided for creation of the state of Oklahoma by consolidation of the Indian and Oklahoma territories, and the state of Arizona by a like consolidation of Arizona and New Mexico. When that bill passed the house TIE OASIS declared it was the policy of the Republican Party. and as a Republican newspaper 1t accepted the policy of this party, just as in 1896 it accepted the single gold standard as 2 party policy, when for time 1t stood alone among Arizona newspapers in that accept ance.
 When the Republican territor- ial convention, which sent del- egates to the national convention that nominated Mr. Roosevelt for the presidency, assembled at Tue son in the Spring of last year, the delegates upon arrival at 'the old pueblo" were confronted by the Tucson Citizen with a leading ed itorial declaring that President Roosevelt favored joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico
 In addressing the convention the following day Governor Brodic made allusion to the charge con tained in the Citizen editorial, and proceeded to "refutation". (The charge in that editorial was but a reiteration of an allegation which had been previously published. ] Governor Brodie stated that when
The oasis., 1905-03-11

 blll reaching | goie Bat finally ae sort oi cWmpfoaiise goie wa. taken, and the bill wa. modified by several amendments. The chieI of these was one offered by Senator Bard of California admitting New Mexico az q separate state. (Ano. ther offered by Foraker permitting the people of Arizona and New Mexico to vote separately upon a constitution, was also adopted, but the Bard amendment rendered that superhuous and unnecessary.)
 When the news of the senate's action was received in the territory there was great rejoicing at the alleged salvation of Arizona. 2 But let us look to that.
 When the Hamilton bill return ed to the house, with the senate amendments, 1t was given consid- eration in the house Republican caucus, and that body, by vote of 113 to B, insisted upon the or iginal bill. At about this juncture President Roosevelt took a hand, and, Delegate Rodey alleges, de- clared that the bill as 1t originally came from the house was the Re- publican party policy. Mr. Rodey alleged that the president was very much put out by the turn the had taken and intimated that he would not affix executive to separate statehood bill for Arizona or New Mexico at any time in his administration. The president declared that the very silence of the national plat form was intentional and in the interest of joint statehood--that is what MT. Rodey says. Now con- trast that with Governor Brodie's assertion to the Tucson conven- tion.
 The Hamilton bill was returned to the senate without acceptance by the house of the Senate amend ments, and went to a conference committee. In an effort to get it there Senator Bailey, of Texas, who had led the democratic oppo- sition, declared that he was pre- pared to vote for the Hamilton bill-Ahe would by his vote no longer stand in the way of justice to 100000 people in the interest of 300.000 elsewhere That was a significant declaration. It means that he will be hereafter for state- hood for Oklahoma, whose people have accepted joint statehood, and will vote for that, even if by doing SO joint statehood shall by thrust upon the people of Arizona and New Mexico against their will.
 Finally the bill was sent to a conference committee consisting of members of both House and Senate.

fHd wired the pretiueut personally
 lhat tbe charge bad been made and asked dehnition Of Mir
 Roosevelts position upon Che issue.
 When Mir. Brodie had stated that
 fact the writer, who sat in the del- egation from Santa Cruz, expected
 that the speaker would produce
 the familiar sheet of pale yellow upon which telegrams are usually written, and read therefrom a per sonal denial signed by Theodore Roosevelt or his secretary, Wm. Loeb. Instead of that "his excel lency" produced a clipping from a Los Angeles newspaper, which he read, the gist thereof being that the president did not feel 1t incumbent upon himself to define his attitude upon the proposition of joint state- hood until such time as a bill providing therefor should come before him for executive approval or veto. At that moment the editor felt himself blushing clear to the back of his ears at the thought that the chief executive of Arizona should perpretate so bare faced and palpable trick.
 The convention selected a dele- gation, Governor Brodie at its head, to attend the national con- vention. When that delegation reached that august assemblage 1t found that the platform prepared in advance by Senator Lodge, the personal friend of the president, and one of his spokesmen on the floor of the senate, embodied a de- claration endorsing and approving the joint statehood bill as correct party policy. In the committee on resolutions the Arizona delega- tion antagonized that declaration and endeavored to secure re-affirm- ation of former platform declara- tions. That they could not, but they did succeed in securing elim- ination of the declaration framed by Senator Lodge, leaving the plat form silent upon tiie subject; and it was so reported and adopted by the convention. That very silence was an acquiescence in the caucus action framing the bill, and TIE OASIS said So at the time. Had ! the Republican party as national organization disapproved of joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico, it would have so declared ! in national platform; anu that would have been notice to the house caucus to reverse the action already taken. (President Roose- welt has since said as much to Del  egate Rodey of New Mexico. But more of that hereinafter.)
 It is unnecessary to go into the details of the last campaign in Ar izona, and the strenuous efforts of newspapers and plat form speakers to disavow the open and declared policy of their party

two Texas leaguers back of first

Their Finish,

The county infirmary directors of
Ohio have been in convention lately
in Columbus. The president of the
association in his annual address, re-
fers dolefully to his belief that the
days of the Ohio infrmary directors
are numbered, and the Columbus Jour
nal very decidedly thinks they should
be, as it says:
"The employment of infiramy di-
rectors involves sheer waste Of the
public money. They perform no SER
vice to which the county commission
ers could not attend just as well as
they. Probably the commissioners
would do the work much better. The
infirmary directors duties rightfully
fall within their province and it is
a well.recognized fact that the need
less multiplication of public offices In
jures, rather than improves, the pub
lie service. ."-Warren Chronicle.

THURSDAY WAS .'
A DAY OF CALM
IN ST. PETERSBURG, BUT THERE
is APPREHENSION.
While the Capital Is Quieted the Out
lying Districts Are Hotbeds
of Rebellion.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.-Despite the
fact that Thursday was q day of calm
in the capital city there is feeling
of apprehension among the official
class that gives rise to the belief that
this calm is more in the nature of a
lull than as the end of the storm. The
danger is not here in st. Petersburg.
The uprising in this place is checked,
the workingmen have had a lesson
that they will long remember and the
administration of General Trepoff is
strongly entrenched.
But this is the case only in st.
Petersburg. The outlying districts
are hotbeds Of rebellion and reports
of clashes have been coming in since
Thursday morning from half hun
dred different cities. Few Of them
were Of serious nature. So far as
can be learned the number killed was
small and the Cossacks used their
whips and not their sabres and rifles
in checking the disorder But the
feeling was there and the manner in
which the peasantry cursed the en-
blems of authority and the uniforms OF
the troops all indicated the strongest
of ill-feeling.
The authorities are apprehensive of
another uprising today.
