THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES.

In the Rhode Island legislature one day last week there was under consideration a bill exempting from poll tax surviving veterans of the "War of the Rebellion, and on motion of a senator the title was amended to read "Civil War" in- stead. Not long ago the same kind of an amendment was put upon bill under consideration by Congress. In each case the amend
 ment was supported with the argu- ment that the word rebellion" is a stigma upon the losing side in that tremendous conflict.
 To THE OASIS it seems that "Civil War" is not correctly descriptive of the great war between the North and the South into which the country was hurrying half cen tury ago. A civil war is one wherein the very elements of society are arrayed in deadly con. fict against one another, as was the case in the French Revolution, or the War of-the Roses in England or the later war between Round head and Cavalier, or the war now started in Mexico The great war in the United States was not ex- actly of that nature. It is true there was a conflict of one section of the country against another, of one form of civil polity against another. But there was a wide difference between the American Civil War and the three wars cited. The French Revolution was an upheaval of the masses against a political system which went down in blood and fire never to arise again; and it wrought a lasting change in the institutions of France. The War of the Roses was 8 dynaS- tic struggle and made but little change in the conditions of the people or in the form of govern ment. The War of the Round

A COINCIDENCE OF FORCES.

With the result of the election for ratification or rejection of the proposed constitution for Arizona the newspapers of the territory may see in the tremendous majOri- ty for ratification just how far goes their boasted influence. With very few exceptions throughout the territory the newspapers that are conducted with real ability were lined up in opposition to ratifca- ton. Yet the vote in favor of adoption of the constitution was overwhelming. In Douglas, Bisbee and Tucson the newspapers were unanimous in opposition, yet the maiorities in those places as com pared with others where there was newspaper support were not appre- ciably different. The cause for this is not far to seek, and, as pointed out by THE OASIS hereto fore, it lies in the fact that in its extravagant claims the newspaper has arrogated unto itself the qpower of the press," without hav- ing grasped it.
 The power of the press is the possibility of printing and spread ing broadcast the ideas that come from full and free discussion of all topics. It is the collective opera tion of all the presses in state or nation; or more accurately ex- pressed 1t is the untrammeled right that all may print or publish their views and sentiments upon any and all subjects. The ownership of press and the issue therefrom of a periodical of some sort, whether daily, weekly or monthly, goes not to make powerful to mould public sentiment a man or a corporation but it is the fact that any and all may use the press to give utterance to their sentiments and the opera tion and play of that right in pre- senting to the public mind the thoughts and views of many indf yiduals that does mould public

pennies. When in any way a one cent piece comes into hand the holder hastens to exchange it for postage stamp at the post office. It will go nowhere else. And the half cent would be a token of poverty which no one would accept. It is only among nations where the masses are in the deepest and most dire poverty that there is a demand for very small coins or where they will cir culate at all That is why the one cent coin will not circulate west of the Rocky Mountains.

 Supervisor of Irrigation Robin son, of Albuquerque, is expected here the last of this month to look into the repair of the Hopi dam across the Moincopie Wash.
 The social given by the Desert Club was bowling success if you can judge by appearances, for all appeared to enjoy them selves. Dancing was first on the program and seemed to take prec- edence until lunch was announced, then all else was forgotten in par taking of the sumptuous spread.
 Keith Warren was. over from Red Lake and spent Sunday last with Tuba friends.
 Mrs. Anna Bush, of Albuquer- que, came in from Flagstaff with Frank Newbegin on Monday last to take the position of cook at the school that has been filled tempo rarily for some time by Mark Cochara.
