A FLAT FAILURE.

The prosecutions inaugurated by
 the government of the United States against the New York World and the Indianapolis News have fallen flat, and the cases have been thrown out of court. The failure of the prosecution has attracted but little more than passing atten- ton, for the reason that the at- tempt to punish the two newspapers named was without popular sup port. From the beginning the people had no real sympathy with the move, and looked upon it with a lack of interest if not with posi- tive disfavor. It was regarded rightly as an unwarranted attack upon the liberty of the press-in fact It seemed an effort to establish in the United States the monarch ical doctrine of LeSe majeSte; and that is doctrine to which the American people do not subscribe and will not approve for an in- stant. If there is one thing above all others that the people of this country want to be informed about, it is public affairs. They want to know what is going on in political and government circles all the time. They insist upon the fullest publicity, for their experiences with oficeholders has convinced them oi it's wisdom and necessity. They

What kind of a man is he who would deny lovely woman all the adventitious aids of the toilet? He who appreciates not her loveliness as arrayed in all the glory of the modern art of dress is like the one without music in his soul, as des- cribed by the bard fit only "for treason, stratagem and spoils" Go to. Let lovely woman make herself as lovely as she can possibly. Let her call to her aid all the adventi- tious accessories of the toilet. If by taking thought (and high heel ] she can add to her stature, and it renders her a bit more attractive, why, let her do so. If with the aid of pads and padding, bumpers and bustles she can add to the graceful lines of her contour, let her do so. The man who takes such things into consideration in making

"THE ETERNAL FEMININE" |"

Without "the eternal feminine" what would be the world to the poet, the artist, the yellow journal, and the freak legislatorP Without her divine presence as a living, breathing entity, the finest creations of the poetic literature of all na- tions and all ages had never existed. Without the graceful lines and curves of her exquisitely nodded form the greatest art treasures of the world, whether of brush or chisel, never would have sprung from the inspired minds of those who gave them their exquisite sem blances, and almost gave them life. Without her foibles and frailties, without her habits of thought and modes of dress the great Sunday newspapers would be shorn of more than half their bulk, and lose more than three-fourths their interest. And from the beginning of legisla- tion have the statute books been laden with freak enactments leveled at her personality, her attractive ness and even at her modes of thought.
 The poet and artist need no de- fence, and no fair comment can be made upon their frequent use of a theme so entrancing. Even the prohibition by the decalogue of the making of any graven image or any semblance of anything that is in the heaven above, upon the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth, has no defenders, for it would kill all art, is worthy of attention only as one of the earliest samples of freak legislation and suggests the decalogue a man made law rather than God given ordinance. For the yellow journal there can be no excuse save that it's fulminations are amusing anC can work little or no harm. | intended to be corrective, they fal far short of their intention; fol "the eternal feminine' serenely

 This attitude of the people is what got the government in hot water when the canal was purchased, for the circumstances surrounding that deal were closely guarded by the administration, and, notwithstand- ing a congressional investigation of the whole subject, including the Ire. volution" in Panama, was subse- quently conducted, the people to- day do not know the full truth and details about those transactions. It was an effort of the newspapers later indicted to get at the facts that resulted in the publication of the charges which were held to libel Roosevelt, Taft and others. The statements were published from patriotic and laudable mo- tives and in a sincere belief that they were within the facts, as they were indicated by the best infor- nation obtainable. The govern ment might have spared itself the attack, as well as it's collateral in- situations, had it taken the people fully into its confidence and con ducted the canal transaction openly and above board. TIE OASIS does not think the people will ever con sent to a doctrine or law which puts a bridle upon the press in the hand ling of public affairs. If there had been any real grounds for libel, civil or criminal, in the New York and Indianapolis cases, the libeled persons were afforded easy and ef- fective remedy under the law; there would have been no occasion or ex- cuse for resorting to the extraor- dinary and unprecedented course adopted by the Rooselvelt adminis- tration, every step of which has now been declared by the courts to be without legal force.

Two years ago it was the "peek-a-boo waist" last year the merry widow hat", and afterward the sheath gown" be- came the burden of the yellow newspaper; page after page of illus tration and comment being devoted to the new garment Git was all the style one hundred years ago in France.)
 But it is in freak legislation that shine most conspicuously all the graces and attractions of "the eter- nal feminine;" only there they are viewed with horror and abomina- tion as wiles and snares for the confusion and damnation of man. kind. Probably in this late day such legislation is worthy of little or no attention, because it seldom or ever reaches point farther than reference to some appropriate com mittee, where 1t is smothered in continently and expeditiously; and, like the efforts of yellow journal ism, it is the subject of considera- tion as a matter of amusement only. The latest was a bill intro duced into the Georgia legislature last year by one Glenn, who has very evidently large sized grouch against women and their apparel. The measure provides that if any woman, whether maid or widow, shall betray into matrimony any unsuspecting male citizen of the independent and sovereign state of Georgia by any of the wiles and blandishments of the sex, and the use of scents, paint, powder, or per- fume, cosmetics and toilet waters artificial teeth, false hair, stays oi any kind, whether sustained by steel or whalebone, corsets, pads, or padding, hoops, bustles or false calves, high heeled shoes, V-cut waists, lace, variegated, droI stitched or rainbow hosiery, lingerie dresses, peekaboo waists, or by any other deceitful means or artfuI practices, the marriage upon con viction shall be null and void.

them. He bores several holes, differ

he find an acorn. which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-

But he does not eat the acorn, for,
as rule, he is not a vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and a knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acorns remain intact but, becoming
saturated, are predisposed to decay,

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, OF at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
bands on retiring in strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
aud anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
nent, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

ZooloujcaI Puzzle.

Italian biologists have a puzzle to
solve, owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body of a white
bear, which has been brought to Aosta
1t was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago. and must have been pre-
served by the ice, since it has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
it has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place a
few days previous to discovery. At
this would seem to show that there
are still white bears in the Alps. ex-
petitions are to be sent to test the
theory.
