It is easy to impute sundry motives to President Hill and the men who stand with him in these attacks upon MT. Newell. Mir. Davis and MT. Hill. Arthur P. Davis. it will be remem- bered. has always been an enthusiasts tic advocate of q Central American canal to unite the two oceans. He did valuable pioneer engineering work in looking into the merits of the pro- jected Nicaraguan canal. Later he was one of the governments trusted engineers in the Panama canal in vestigations. His recommendations had great weight in the determination of the plans under which the Panama canal is being constructed. President Hill, we suppose, belongs to that old fashioned class of railway managers who still cherish a grouch because the canal is to be built We suppose he would like to drive MT. Davis from any position of power. as a sort of punishment Tor ms presumption Tn advocating an isthmian canal to com pete with the transcontinentaI rail- ways. Possibly President Hill would like to see the reclamation service disorganized and busted" so that thereby better opportunities would be afforded for private capital to enter the irrigation field. Possibly MT. Davis has recently offended the Great Northern people.
 But whatever the Great Northern magnate's motives may be, the fact should be kept in mind that his at tacks upon the .reclamation service are unpatriotic and vicious, and abso- lutely unjust.

is a fair inference that the work else where. done under the direction of the same men. is equally free from criti- cism. Such inference will hold with all fair-minded people until MT. Hill comes forward with definite proofs.

WHEN the initiative and referen- dunn are a part of the machinery of government in Arizona, one of the first measures that will be en- acted by the people will be an act amending the Doran act so that mining corporations will pay taxes upon one hundred per cent of their net product, instead of on twenty five per cent. That will be an ad- vantage. But THE OASIS believes there are many offsetting disad- vantages which should be weighed we'll before adoption of those new principles of government.

THE electoral vote cast in the various states of Mexico have been received at the federal capital, tabulated and published. In all of the states, with an occasional exception of single vote here and there, the electoral ballots cast for Don Ramon Corral for vice presi- dent tally exactly with those given General Diaz. Which dissipates into thin air the newspaper story which emanated from Fl Paso that Don Ramon Corral would be thrown down by the presidential electors and another elected. The outcome is as THE OASIS predicted.

DIR. |. W. Cooper's address on
the funeral occasion was as follows:
The State Of Mississippi, the town
of Brookhaven, Lincoln County,
the Baptist Church, and the gen.
eral church of God, and the loved
ones OF the home are under the
shadow of a great sorrow.
Only last week, the citizens Of
Brookhaven followed to their last
resting place the mortal remains of
Mrs. A. G. McNair. who was the
highest type of christian woman
hood. Then came the leaving of
every ybody's friend, Andrew Mikas,
and now the departure of B. T.
Hobbs. Surely Brookhaven is
passing under the rod!
Our brother possessed a strong
personality. The strength of his
personality, noticed in his conversa-
tion, in public utterances and es-
pecially in his paper, The Leader.
He rightly named the paper he es-
tabIished, The Leader! Its editor
was the embodiment of leadership.
His was not a negative character
you knew where to find him on all
moral questions.
It is said that Alexander Nc
Chung never experienced the emo
tion of fear. This could be said
of B. T. Hobbs. We shall remem-
Der him as the lion hearted. julius
Caesar was never braver. You
could never conquer him. Others
might anticipate defeat, and there
might be ashes of defeat, but out of
the ashes there would rise the
phoenix bird with richer plumage.
This impelling hope led him to per-
form what some might call daring
deeds. Hannibal's army had camp
ed outside the walls of Rome. A
citizen within the walls offered to
buy. at former prices, all the land
on which the army had camped.
Our friend had faith in any right
eous cause and at any period. how
ever dark, he was ready to pay full
price.
This characteristic made him a
leader of the Temperance forces of
Mississippi. Many years ago,
when the Prohibition cause was
weak. at every important gather
ing. one could see our friend. He

friend whose place could not be
filed.
The funeral was largely attended,
many coming from other parts OF
the State to mingle their tears oi
sympathy with those Of the bereav-
ed family. The business houses OF
the city closed during the funeral
hour. and the church building
could not hold the crowd that as
sembled to do the last honors to
their friend, whose going is rec
ognized as a distinct loss not only
to our town and county. but to the
State at large.
The death toll in our city has
been heavy during the last few
weeks. Many ties Of love and
friendship have been broken. Many
times we have turned our faces
towards Rose Hill. But as often
we have to turn them back again
to the duties and responsibilities Of
life. We have to take up and bear
our part of the work the others
have laid down. We should reJoice
that it is noble work. We should
be glad if we are counted worthy
to share it.
May the consolation that comes
from simple faith in the eternal
purposes of God. be the comfort of
those who mourn!

Card from Rev. R. Il. Purser.

In the death Of B. T. Hobbs, the
Brookhaven Baptist church. the
Lincoln County Association. and
the community at large have lost
one of their strongest and most
loyal supporters of moral and
Christian principals.
He forged his way to the front
in spite of opposition, and without
counting the cost.
We feel that a wide gap has been
left in our ranks, and one that ii
will be difficult to fill.
We shall miss him as a counselor
and friend.

Among the Prohibition leaders

Lowrey, Patton. Brame, Rowan.
Noel, Vardaman, Alexander no
one was more active and Jealous
than Mr.. Hobbs.
In the name of The Woman's s
Christian Temperance Union of
Mississippi, we place wreath of
rarest flowers on his neW-made
grave. In the name of a nobler
manhood in Mississippi, to which
has silent influence was directed,
we would place the laurel leaves.
In the name of thousands Of Mis-
sissippi homes, where his uncon-
scious influence has brought happi-
ness, we bless his deeds and mem
ory.
Thou valiant knight of Prohibi-
tion, the friends of Temperance
are greatly bereaved and in the
days of coming battle, we will
greatly desire thee. We shall feel
the touch of thy spirit.
He was an ideal citizen. He
was for the enthronement of law
above passion. He was for the
enforcement of law. He believed
laws were made to be kept. He
not only kept the laws himself. but
he was ever ready to assist officers
of the law in their duty. All low
ers of good government respected,
him-bad men who hated him con-
stituted his greatest eulogy. He
sometimes used the knife as the
surgeons doan he used a
Damascene blade.
When in the evening they brought
him wounded sore,
With battered shield-with sword
thrust gashed and rent,
And laid him where the king stood
by his tent,
Nov art thou beautiful" the
master said;-
And barred his head.
During his illness, his faithful
companion heard him say, "Ameri-
can Nation land Foreign Mis-
sions.' These words revealed the
heart of the oak.
His church made him leader of
the Laymen's Movement. During
this year, he paid visits to twen-
ty-eight churches out Of thirty-fve
in the association. Our friend had
faith in God and in man. He be-
lieved in the atonement Of Jesus
Christ. He went to the gates of
death trusting in the merits of the
Redeemer. He has left us. but he
has left US the heritage of a good
name.
He has done the work of a true man.
Crown him. honor him, love him.
Weep Ger him tears Of a woman;
Stoop manifest brows above him.
For the warmest of hearts is frozen:
The freest OF hands is still;
The gap in our pick and chosen,
The long years may not fill.
To the dear ones at home, we
point you to the rainbow in the
clouds which tells of a time when
there will be no fioed nor sorrow.
You have the consciousness that all
was done which human love and
hands could do. We would not
forget the daughter who is far
away and our prayer is that the
God of her father will comfort her.
We must live through the weary
winteE
If we would value the spring.
And woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing.
The flowers must be buried in
darkness
Before they can bud and bloom,
And the sweetness of warmth and
sunshine
Come after the storm and gloom.
