An anti-cigarette law will again be

and sale of cigarettes, but for hav-

feet deep in the rock The well de-
livers the water above the surface at
the rate of 700 gallons in "a hours.
In other words it is flowing well,
and if pumped would yield 61OO gallons
every "a hours. Mr.. Bailer intends
to use siphon to draw the water
from the well, which is on side bill
about 200 above the house and about
q quaser Of . mile away. 1t IS the

A Home Song

l turned an ancient poets book,
And found upon the page:
Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars cage. !"
Yes, that is true, and ething more:
You'll find where'er you roam.
That marble floors and gilded walls
Can never make home.
But every house where love abides
And Friendship is guest,
Is surely home, and home, sweet home,
For there the heart cnn rest.

POLITICAL regularity in Arizona seems somewhat out of joint. In Graham county republicans are sore because Judge Nave has ap- pointed as clerk of his court a ten- derfoot from Illinois; the Arizona Republican is mad, clear through, because the democratic county school superintendent has ap- pointed a republican deputy; and in Cochise county the Bisbee Re- view has "thrown a fit" because the democratic board of super visors has appointed republican to the clerkship of the board. To read what is published in those counties one would think that mo- thing of the kind had happened ever before. But THE OASIS can give long list of similar occuren- ces in all parts of Arizona. It all depends upon who does it whether there is any kick. In some in- stances the victims now are reap ing harvests of their own sowing.

Under the head 'rreachery Re warded' the Arizona Republican of the 7th inst. contained this lachrymose vail.
 There was filed in the Gaice oi the county recorder on Saturday document with history behind it. lt was the appointment by County School Superin- tendent Fulton of Professor Lee as bis assistant Many people do not know how this thing has come about, for Su- perintendent Fulton is democrat, while Professor Lee is republican. 1t has been learned, however, that the ap- pointment is a reward for party treach- cry, part payment of a premium on political perfidy, for evidence has come to light that the new assistant all through the late campaign shamelessly threw down and knifed W. H. Lee, the republican candidate for the office of superintendent.
 In 1898 the Congress mining camp gave the Republican nominee for Congress, several hundred ma jority, on a vote of about five to one. Two years later, when Alex ander o. Brodie was the republi- can nominee, the figures were completely reversed, and the dem. ocrat had the great majority in the Congress camp. And in 1900 the figures were reversed again. There was bit of political per6dy far greater than that exposed by the Republican in the foregoing, yet at the time it occurred the Republican had not word to say about it.

HAPPINESS ill California: A freeze in Florida.
Changes In Railway officiaIdom.

Wednesday there was received in railway circles an official notice that Mir. k. k. Calvin had relin- quished the general management of the Sonora railway, that being the relationship of the gentleman to that line in his capacity as gen eral manager of the Southern Pacific system, MT. Naugle who was in charge locally being assist ant general manager; and that Colonel k. Randolph of Tucson was appointed general manager for the Sonora railway company. As Mir. Randolph has been president and general manager of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific railway, now in course of construction, the new appointment makes the gentleman the chief of all the Hartman lines in Mexico, which are projected to include several thousand miles of trackage. As the Sonora is an link in the new system now building, it is very evident that convenience in operation re- quired all lines to be under a single management.
 In Chat connection 1t was re- ported Thursday that MT. J. A.. Naugle, who has been assistant general manager many years, had rendered his resignation of that position, and will retire from the service of the corporation he has served so long. Mir. Naugle has been in the service of the Sonora railway nearly since the days of construction, more than a quarter of a century ago, and during period of more than twelve years has held the position he relin- quishes now. He has made his mark as a railway official, and has made in Sonora and Mexico many friends who now regret his de- parture.
 Colonel Randolph is no stranger to the people of Arizona and Sonora. He was superintendent of the Tucson and El Paso divisions of the Southern Pacific, with head quorters at Tucson, and has been conspicuous long as one of the fore most Arizonans. He has been connected also with many very important business enterprisesin Arizona and Sonora. When Mir. Hartman acquired the Cananea, Rio Yaqui & Pacific railway Colonel Randolph was put at the head of that enterprise, the colos- sal construction work projected re- quiring in that position a great engineer, a profession in which that gentleman ranks among the first. Long before coming to Ari- zona he achieved the foremost rank therein by his admirable

IT DOES LOOK PECULIAR.

TIE NoGALEs OASIS has divulged an ''open secret" that there is movement in tn s territory to secure a delegation for Senator Foraker in the next na- tional convention. Colonel Bird isn't going to let it be done. This is the first we have heard of 1t, but the gen. eral understanding is that Senator Foraker is not wanting a delegation from Arizona, Ohio or any other state or territory. It is further understood that the senator will present the name of his distinguished fellow townsman, Hon. William Howard Taft, to the next national republican convention. We say this is the present understanding among those about the national capital who are politically weatherwise. Their forecasts of the future are determined from the course of political currents and are usually fairly accurate. They are, though, liable to err, just as weather forecasCers do, whose study of atmos- pherlc currents now and then fails to take into account some meteorological condition which brings all calculation to naught. Perhaps in this ease tn, SC political forecasters are not aware of the existence Of that permanent storm cen ter Tn Santa Cruz, that continuous cur rent of hot air which emanates from the a5last furnace in NOgales where Colonel Bird perennially is molding public opi- nien.
 They will learn in time that when presidents are to be made Colonel Bird is to be consulted. man who wields such influence in his own bailiwick is not to be sneezed at as a national facto-. It is not every man who pro- claims himself leader in small and fairly evenly balanced county that can drive opposition into solid and over whelming majority and by his unaided efforts bring all his own ideals into .disrepute and engulf them in defeat. Arizona Republican.
 The slump on Cooper in Santa Cruz county does look peculiar, for a fact. But then it is not a patch upon the slump on Bpodie at the Congress camp. Had the same vote been delivered Brodie there that was delivered the republican nominee two years before and again two years later he would have . come very near election, if not quite.
 1t is agreeable to see the admis- sion that Senator Foraker Is not seeking the republican presidential nomination in 1908. And more so is it to be informed that the senator from Ohio will present to the next national convention the name of the distinguished Sec retary of War. Within month THE OASIS editor could not find in Ohio nor at Washington any, one who believed so But, as the Republican so asserts, the statement must be true; and THE OASIS will be pleased to see the Arizona Republican with the interests 1t represents supporting

IE BOUNDARY LINES OF TFE. PROPOSED NEW STATE
AGE BY HANDWRITING.


Did you ever realize hat how use
less it is to try to conceal your age?
Even the handwriting is today used
as n test to tell how old people are
and so often is the style OF p%ennlan-

You may keep your mouth closed
tightly over your teeth, stain the
streaks of gray i'm your hair until they
take on the original color and COAX the
wrinkles with old cream and massage,
but your handwriting will proclaim
your secret to the world. The slant or
formation of your letters will all give
you away.
Take Il dozen or two old letters that
have been written at different dates
and see now easy it is to tell the period
to WHICH they belong. h cramped
angular curves tell OF the days of our.
grandnlotlers when sentiment was ex-
pressed in stilted phrases and labored
sentences. Then came the writing tina
gave way to flights OF the imagination
when curves and circles We're wrought
as easily as bubbles are blown. This
is followed by the palmer style so easy
TO read and yet less awkward and

way to straight lines and the writing of

PROPER METHOD OF

Give us the good old fashioned moth

This is the cry of 1907.

they have no time to find out where

There may be lots of good hard sense

have SO small a place that it hardly
figures at all. It's too much like the
