 The Association is in prosperous condition, and has demands for all the money that it can command, and then some. Its stock is a splendid investment, and there is a fine opportunity for one to invest savings at good advantage. The Association has been in operation about sixteen years, and in that time has been potent factor in the upbuilding of Nogales.

that in all the history of the terri tory of Arizona Judge Doan's is the only instance in which an official has received four successive appointments to the same post, by three different Presidents. He was appointed first by President Me Kinley in 1897, reappointed by President Roosevelt in 1902, ap- pointed to third term by Presi- dent Roosevelt in 1906, and now has received his fourth appoint ment at the hands of President Taft.

TIE FLIGHT of Paulhan, the dar- ing French aviator, at Salt Lake demonstrated the limits of the heavier than air machines. They cannot soar in altitudinous regions -the air is too light. While the Frenchman succeeded in reaching an altitude of 5000 feet in the denser air of the sea level at Los Angeles, he could rise only two hundred or three hundred feet above the surface in the rarefed atmosphere at Salt Lake, which is at much greater altitude than the Southern California metropolis. The Salt Lake performance of Mir. Paulhan was disappointment to those who projected the meet and to the people who patronized it.

STATE CONSTITUTION AND CONGRESS-.

There is being manifested con- siderable spleen and no small amount of ignorance has been pre- sented over the proposition em. bodied in the Senate bill for admis- sion that the Constitution that may be adopted by the people of Arizona must be submitted to Congress and the President for approval, and receive their sanction. In an address at Bisbee recently Mir. John R. Hampton of Clifton made the positive assertion that nothing of the kind had been prescribed in the admission of any state and that there have been admitted no less than thirty four states since adoption of the Constitution of the United States by the thirteen original states. In making the assertion quoted MT. Hampton must have spoken without having given the subject that close and careful attention that should be given matter so important. Had he done so he would have found that the constitutions presented by states have been scrutinized by Congress, and that in at least one case Congress sent back to the people of territory who had adopted constitution an amend ment to the proposed fundamental law for their state which they had to adopt or remain territory.
 The instance cited is that of the state of Nebraska. As created originally Nebraska territory in- cluded beside the area of the pres ent state nearly all of what are now the states of North and South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1864-5 Congress passed an enabling act under which the people of that part of Nebraska Territory which was erected into state could adopt a constitution and enter the Union on terms of equality with the other states. A convention was elected and it sat in 1865, adopted a con- stitution which went to Congress for approval. At that time Con- gress was busy with the reconstruc- tion legislation following the Civil War, and one of the great issues of the time was negro suffrage. Ohio

JUDGE DoAN's REAPPoINTMENr.

In the reappointment of Judge Fletcher M. Doan to be associate justice of the supreme court of Ari- zona and judge of the district court, as recommended by the committee on territories and acted upon yester- day in the senate, Cochise county has reason to congratulate herself. A fearless judge and man, adminis- tering the law to the best of his ability and strictly in accordance with his belief as to the demands of justice, Judge Doan is a judicial light of whom Arizonans may we'll be proud.
 disappointment followed closely upon the heels of the recommenda- tion of the committee. The Miner congratulates Judge Doan upon it, although nothing other than this action seemed possible at any time.
 As is usual whenever a man proves fearless in performing his duty as an official, Judge Doan made enemies, anxious to defeat his reappointment. These men brought charges against him, the exact nature of which have never been made public, but which prom ised for a time to withhold this appointment for an indefinite period, while investigation was under way. The charges were found to be both fimsy and groundless by the senatorial committee and their recommendation was added to that of President Taft that his reap pointment for fourth term be con frmed by the senate. This has been done and rightly.
 Judge Doan, as republican, had the backing of the party organiza- tion in his fight, and it was largely through the efforts of Cameron and smith that the charges were proven to be unfounded upon fact and too flimsy for earnest consideration by the committee Bisbee Miner.
 The foregoing from the Miner meets with the approval of every one in Santa Cruz county, which forms a part of Judge Doan's dis trict. In Graham, Gila and Pinal counties, which were included for merly in his district, there is the same spirit of universal good will toward the eminent gentleman.

Massachusetts, and some few of the states had amended their own con- stitutions to confer suffrage upon the negroes, but the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Consti- tuition conferring such suffrage in all the states had not been pro- posed by Congress-and was not until three years later. Article XIV regulating some of the ques- tions that grew out of the war had been proposed at that very session of Congress, but was not ratified by the necessary number of states until two years later.
 When the constitution that the people of Nebraska had adopted was before the United States senate Senator Charles Sumner presented a joint resolution, which was adopted by both houses of Con- gress, providing that the instru- ment should be returned to the people of Nebraska, with an amend ment granting the franchise to negroes, and their acceptance of that amendment was made the condition of their admission. Feel ing in Nebraska ran high over the alleged act of usurpation by Con- gress, and the question of adoption or rejection of that amendment was the issue of the November elec- tion in 1866. The amendment carried, and Nebraska became a state.
 From the foregoing statement, which can be found in almost any history of the time-and in public records, it will be seen that Mir. Hampton was in error in making the statement quoted. THE OASIS will venture the assertion that in the early history of state admis- sions Congress invariably exercised the right to scrutinize a constitu- ton before a state was proclaimed,
 Those criticising the proposition admit that the constitution adopted by Arizona must not be in conflict with the Constitution of the United States. Who shall determine whether 1t is in conflict or not? Is there any better power for such determination than Congress There has to be some form of off. cial recognition that constitution has been adopted and state is ready for admission. Congress has exercised that power in the past and has dictated terms, even to the extent of prescribing an amend. ment to a constitution which had been adopted already by the people of proposed state.
