Fourteen thoroughbred mares and geldings were recently pur- chased in Kentucky for use at Ft.

FOR STATEHOOD.

In presenting this week the cir 'cular of the Statehood League ad- vocating that all Arizonans unite now and work as strenuously for single statehood as did most of them against joint statehood last year, THE OASIS does so in the most earnest spirit. This newspaper has been for statehood always, and will be for statehood always. Last year 1t advocated the cause of iointure because 1t believed that the only way in which statehood could be reached. At the outset of that campaign the statement was made Tn these columns that single state hood was preferred, but that the offer of jointure seemed all that would be possible in many years, for which reason acceptance of that offer was advocated. That THE OASIS made the fight for jointure in good faith even its enemies ad- mitted; and in making the struggle 1t lost nothing and gained proud position that would not have been had it not possessed the courage of its convictions and the nerve to go where they led.
 But that is all over now; and to- day there seems a probability that after all there is chance for single statehood. But whether there be or no, after the most mature re- flection upon the subject THE OASIS has reached the conclusion that the effort should be made. Nothing is to be gained by accepting the as- sertion put forth in the East and in Congress in 1905-6, that it would have to be iointure or nothing for many years. When Speaker Can non, Senator Beveridge, and even President Roosevelt, with other powerful leaders in the East made that assertion they meant 1t with out doubt. But there is a possibil- ity of their relenting. So far as New Mexico is concerned the Presi- dent has relented already, and is committed to statehood for that ter ritory at the hands of Congress in first session now about commence ing; while the report is gaining ground that he is disposed to favor the policy of admission for Arizo- na. Now, then, the people of Ari- zona may rest assured that there will be no relentment in any quarter if they supinely accept the dictum of that time. The longer they submit the harder will it be to secure statehood. So, then, they

 For these reasons TnE OASIS com. mends the attitude assumed now by the Statehood League, and can- not speak in praise too hearty of the action of General Thomas F. Wilson, chairman of the League, and it's secretary, MT. Sidney R. DeLong, in promulgating the paper they have made public. With them TIE OASIS is for statehood at all times and in all seasons.
 Since the foregoing was in type the Phoenix newspapers bave an- nounced the return of Governor Kibbey from his recent trip to Vicksburg, where he was summon ed to meet President Roosevelt at the time the latter was leaving the Mississippi valley after his late bear hunting expedition; and in an interview given out by his ex- cellency 1t is stated that in his con- ference with the President Mir. Roosevelt announced that he hoped to secure admission of both New Mexico and Arizona during his own administration, but that he thinks the end desired cannot be gained in this Congress. It is like ly that Governor Kibbey has been misquoted, for if the two territories are to be admitted in the adminis- tration of Mir. Roosevelt admission will have to be accomplished by the present Congress, from the very reason that the terms of both ex- pire simultaneously on the Fourth March, 1909. It was intended, probably, to state that admission cannot be accomplished at this present session of the Sixtieth Con- gress, but will be an issue iD the short session, beginning in Decem- Der, 1908. That being the case there will be a deal of work for statehood that may be accomplish ed toward admission in the year intervening between the beginning of the Congress, on December 2d, and the commencement of the sht Tt session, one year later.
 In the very interview given out by Governor Kibbey there is in- dicated some of the work that can be taken in hand in the year com ing on: He states that he finds among the leaders in Congress a strong feeling in opposition to ad- mission of the two territories. If the admission is to be accomplished in the short session that opposition must be changed, and Arizonans must begin exercising influences to accomplish changes in position in the minds of many strong men in Congress. For which reason THE OASIS maintains that the work can- not begin too soon. THE OASIS is

WITHOUT A FRIEND.

London July 19.-The Emperor of
Corea is without Il friends among the
governments of Europe, sufficiently in
tcrcstcd in the status of the ancient
Corcan empire, to interposc a word in
his behalf His Majesty had always
been friendly with Russia and the out
come of the Russo-Japanese war was
Il great blow to him. He then looked to
the United States for support.
When Edward V. Morgan, who was
American minister to Corca from
June 70 until Nov. 30 1905, when the
legation was abolished, refused the re-
quest of the Emperor that he take ref
ugc at the legation at the time of the
japanese were pressing him to sign Il
treaty giving Japan control of the for
cign affairs of Corca, the Emperor was
greatly disappointed and the final re
moval of the American legation was Il
glcat blow and disappointment to him.
Almost all foreigners who knew the
Emperor considers him as a well mean
ing but weak man and his son, the
present crown prince, is not regarded
as an Improvement on his father.
