Oklahoma adopted paragraph in her state constitution providing that Guthrie should remain the capital until 1913; but by popular plurality of 22,000 the capital has been moved to Oklahoma city This indicates that any compromise as to temporary capitals for Arizona and New Mexico is likely to be overturned a short time after Statehood becomes reality by popular vote following strongly fought campaign .-ProspeCtor.

graph of this article the plea of the Kelley papers that the education al qualification" act was leveled at the ignorant, purchasable vote," is but a mere subterfuge. In the first place the illiterate voter is not always ignorant, nor is he always purchasable. Many men who can not read and write are shrewd bus mess men who find correct and accurate ways of keeping track of men and measures that are sur prising to those who know their lack of education; they are also unhinchingly honest, they cannot be purchased, and they are far bet ter citizens than many we'll edu- cated men who are immersed in business so deeply that they pay no attention to what is going on in affairs of government, whether gen. eral or local. And secondly the purchasable voter is not always ignorant or illiterate. Many well informed, fairly educated men have been known to sell their votes. In the light of all the facts herein it is seen that the propon. ents and defenders of the Arizona "educational qualification" law for voters will have to find some more potent and valid excuse thar any yet given for the enactmen of that unfair and inequitabl, measure.

4 SAFE AND SANE CONSTITUTION.


 One thing should be agreed on by all, democrats and republicans, and that is that the constitution of Arizona should be confined to foundation for future wholesome laws. In the constitution nothing should be placed which belongs in the statutues of the future. The constitution should not be long and should leave the legislature the widest latitudein passing such laws as the peo' pie of the state may desire and demand. Such constitution would be sufficient for the present and would be in no dagger of being rejected in Washington kelly Newspapers.
 For once THE OASIS can agree with the Kelly newspapers. The foregoing describes "a safe and sane constitution" exactly.

"THE IGNORANT PURcHASEABLE
 VOTE"

All this talk about any desire to dis franchise Spanish American citizens is of the rankest kind of rot There are very few Mexicans who are citizens of Arizona and entitled to vote who could not meet the educational qualification test at the polls. The class that cannot meet the educational test required by the law passed by the Arizona legisla- ture in 1909 compose the ignorant, puf- chaseable vote which has been bought regularly at every election in Tucson and Phoenix for many years. The bona fide Spanish citizen is gener- ally found to possess fairly good educa- tion, acquired in the public schools of Arizona. kelly Newspapers.
 In common with the other demo- cratic newspapers in Arizona the Kelly newspapers are working overtime to break the force and effect of the so-called "educational qualification" law enacted by the last legislature of Arizona.
 That the alleged educational qualification was aimed at the ignorant purchaseable vote" is a mere subterfuge. It was aimed at every man no matter how well he may be educated in French, Span ish, German or other language, who cannot read the English Ian gpage and write his own name. In Arizona there are hundreds of men mot all Mexicans by any means who have good business educa- tions in their native tongues, who can speak little English, perhaps but cannot read it. They are well informed generally and they are good citizens. Many of them are men of means, owning property and doing business in their respec. tive communities.
 The working of the alleged "edu cational qualification" was showr in the municipal election in No gales on May 23d, when wei known merchant in Nogales wal challenged by the democratic chal lenger and turned away from tht polls without voting because h' could not read paragraph in tht Federal Constitution.

 The foregoing two clippings are from the Arizona Democrat of re- cent date. With the first of the two THE OASIS agrees heartily.

It is work of grave responsibility and should be given by everybody deep attention and profound thought; and after careful consideration there should be adopted for the new state fun. damental law that will fit existing conditions and provide best to meet conditions that will follow in the development of the state.

two languages and can speak suffi- cient English to get along in way in transaction of business. He is good, law abiding citizen and credit to any community. Had the constitution been presented him in Spanish or Syrian he could have read and interpreted its meaning easily. Another man, who has lived in Arizona all his life, and became a citizen by virtue of the provisions of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and owns property on which he pays taxes, was challenged also and his vote shut out by force of that same in- equitable and unjust enactment of the last Arizona legislature.
 In defence of their alleged "edu- cational qualification" the Kelly newspapers have alleged that 1t was copied from the constitution of the state of Maine. It is true that in 1893 the people of Maine adopted an amendment to their constitution providing just such an educational qualification; but at the same time was attached to that amendment a proviso exempting from its operation any person who then had the right to vote or was sixty years of age and upward at the time of the adoption of that amendment. Had the Arizona educational qualification" act been coupled with some such pro- viso the criticism to which 1t is now open would not have been possible. But by emitting the exceptions incorporated into the Maine constitution a large number of good citizens of the territory of Arizona were disfanchised ruthless ly and unnecessarily. The enab- ling act for admission of Arizona passed by a republican Congress and approved by a republican president, has annuled the unjust disfranchisement perpetrated by a democratic legislature upon large class of good citizens.
 The present federal naturaliza- ton law, adopted in 1907, pre-. scribes that all who are granted citizenship must read and write the English language; but so much importance does the federal gov ernment attach to settlement and cultivation of the public domain the law especially exempts iron that provision those who have set

FORMER CONGRESSMAN MUST
ANSWER SERIOUS CHARGE

Franklin, Pa August 23.-Joseph G..
Sibley, who withdrew as candidate for
Congress on the republican ticket in the
Twenty eighth Pennsylvania district, was
arrested late last night on a warrant
charging conspiracy to "debauch voters. y
Mr. Sibley was released on his own
recognizance to appear before Justice of
the Peace Perry at Warren, Pa, Au-
gust 2S.
The arrest of Mr.. Sibley came few
hours after he had announced his with
drawal from the congressional race. Ac-
cording to his own figures filed, in obed-
fence to the legislative act requiring a
public statement of candidates account,
Mr.. sibley spent $4,000 in Warren coun-
ty to secure his nomination and in the
entire district s42,50O. which, according to
population, averaged 81 vote.
In the vote under which Mr.. Sibley was
arrested three other prominent politicians
in the Twenty-eighth district are charged
with debauching voters. They are Charles
Crandall, d. M. Howard and George M.
Dunn.
The information against Mr.. Sibley was
made yesterday before Justice Perry of
Warren by Constable Walter Paige of
the same city. The information names
Frank Taylor, secretary to ME-. Sibley,
as co-defendant, and Mr.. Taylor was ar
rested. Both men were released on their

FIGHT TO BE MADE
UPON ROOSEVELT

New York August 23.-William Barnes,
JI., republican leader of Albany and
OF the old guard, who selected Vice Pres
ident Sherman for temporary chairman
of the state convention over the head
of Theodore Roosevelt came to New
York today and gave out statement,
a part of which follows:
when Mr. Griscom interjected Mr.
Roosevelt's name as candidate for the
temporary craftsmanship without the
members of the state committee knowing
now before the people In this state, and
after the Vice President had been placed
in nomination by that committee there
by forcing the issue, which it was not
the intention of the committee to create,
he simply threw a firebrand in the re-
publican situation, entirely unwarranted
and for what purpose it is not for me to
say. So unwise was his action that Pres
ident Taft has been called on to dis
claim the absurd charge that he was re-
sponsible for the selection of Mr.. Sher-
man. OF course, he was not RESPONSE
BILE, nor was he consulted.
1T is therefore highly sensible on the
part of Mr.. Roosevelt, If he hopes to
control the policies of the republican
party in this state, that he should go to
the convention as a delegate and there
thrash out what he thinks ought to be the
policy of the party with those who have
different opinions from him. 1t is as
sumed. of course. that he will abide by
the decision of that convention, as will
those who will oppose him there, II he is
successful"
