the week in the Tucson Post. Thus
are presented in the Newspaper
business the beauties and econo-
mics OF corporate control. A single
salaried editor does the entire
editorial work for four newspapers,
and it would seem also that the

ton and undoubted economy is to
keep the minds of the people

AN EASTERN woman has invoked
the Thirteenth amendment to the
Constitution OF the United States
as a ground for a divorce. That
amendment prohibits slavery or
involuntary servitude; and that is
what she thinks matrimony is.
Surely, it looks as though she is
right. But so far as goes the OBJ
servation of The OASIS it is the
husband Of the average American
woman who needs the protection Of
the amendment relied upon by the
lady.

THE TELESCOPE REVERSED.

1t is remarkable that involuntarily we
read as superior beings Universal his
tory, the poets, the romancers, do not
in their stateliest pictures the
sacerdotal, the imperial palaces, in the
triumphs of will, or OF genius, anywhere
make us feel that we intrude, that this
is for our betters, but rather is 1T true
that in their grandest strokes, there we
feel most at home. All that Shake
spare says of the king, yonder slip OF a
boy that reads in the corner, feels to be
true OF himself. We sympathize in the
great discoveries. the great resistances,
the great properties OF men because
there law was enacted, the sea was
searched, the land was found, or the
blow was struck FOX Us, as We ourselves
in that place would have done or APP
plauded II Emerson.
Yet there is hat in men which
is as greatly charmed and fasci-
mated bv a knowledge uf the purely
human side OF the great. 1t was
that knowledge of feeling in the
hearts OF men that prompted Oliver
Cromwell to bid the artist who was
about to paint his portrait that he
''put in all the warts and scars"
Washington seems closer to the
present generation than TO that o
half century ago through the
work OF his later biographers who

entirely different from that depicted
by his earlier biographers who wrote
in the first half of the Nineteenth
Century. In that period the guilt
of letters had not arisen, but wa
practiced as a side line by PROBES
sional men; and most biographical
literature was left to the clergy
who felt they had a moral lessor
to inculcate, rather than to depic
the real, living man as he appearer
to his contemporaries. In thei
efforts to impress the youth G
America with the greatness an
goodness and immaculatness of tn

wooden could have scaled so readi-
ly the most lofty heights of popu-
larity. But later biographers have
delved deeply into the abundant
material that had been left by his
contemporaries, and to be found
yet in the traditions of his environ
ment; and therefrom they have
drawn a life like portrait of a man
made from the same clay as all the
rest-a very human man, with a
real, human fondness for the

character as now presented people
are far better satisfied than with

The Northern Pacific must join with
the o. r. & n. and the Union IA
cific in selling by the way of Port
land through tickets between Puget
Sound and eastern points
1t has been a matter of controversy
between Hill and Hartman for 4
quarter of a century. The decision
means that it is now possible to pur-
chase tickets from any eastern city
to Puget Sound and have the ticket
read Via Portland, which has never
| been done before. Heretofore those
coming by the way of Portland to
Puget Sound had to buy another
; ticket north upon their arrival here
| Early this year the commission
started an inquiry to determine wheth-
er Portland should be opened as g
gateway for people passing to anc
from Puget sound on the Northern Pa

cage in March, many officials of botf
