ment," the people have given the new principles no little attention and study, and, as asserted herein the people of Arizona have decided that they will give trial to that kind of government. And it is useless for the Arizona Republican, the Tucson Citizen, the Kelly news papers, the Globe Belt, TIE OASIS and score or more of other news papers in the territory to oppose adoption. The people will have statehood with the constitution as now presented, or no statehood whatever.
 Then" it may be asked, "Why does THE OASIS oppose adoption of the instrumentW The answer is easy: For the same reason that this newspaper opposed the sym- pathy given Japan in her success ful war with Russia, and opposed earlier the free coinage of silver the satisfaction of future self. approval.

HARI KARI PROPOSED.

There is extant a communication from the chairman and secretary of the republican territorial com mittee suggesting the inauguration of an organized party fight against adoption of the proposed constitu- ton. The advise of THE OASIS is against such course. The commit tee may formulate a policy of op- position; but in doing so it would drive into opposition a large part of the rank and file of the party. It would find itself leaders of a party with a following so small that the crushing defeat it would receive at the polls would put it so far in the minority that it would be years in recovering from it's effect.
 The chairman and secretary of the territorial republican commit tee, together with some of the lead ing republican newspapers fail to realize that large part of the rank and file of the party in Arizona is insurgent; and if the party hopes to win in the new state the leaders must take into account that ele- ment of insurgency. With it the party has a chance to win. With out it the party will be relegated to hopeless minority. This is no time to drive insurgent republicans in Arizona into the ranks of the democracy.
 It was unfortunate that neither Chairman Sames nor Secretary Pryce was at the Prescott meeting of the territorial committee in July. At that time Hon. Hoval A. Smith presented his resignation as chair man of the committee, and Hon. George U. Young foreshadowed his own resignation. MT. Smith sug- gested MT. Sames for chairman and

SATISFACTION OF FUTURE SELF
 APPROVAL.

The election upon the question of adoption or rejection of the pro- posed constitution on the ninth of February will be significant object lesson upon the boasted "power of the press" With large part of "the press," (including all but three of the leading daily newspapers) opposing and presenting many really strong and potent reasons why the proposed fundamental law should be defeated the instru- ment will carry by tremendous majority. The people have made up their minds to try the experi- ments the constitution embodies, and they will trust to the hope en- tertained that even though the President and Congress may object to some of the features they will not crystalline their objections into official disapproval.
 THE OASIS finds prevalent the sentiment that having waited so long for statehood the people can wait yet awhile rather than accept it in form they dislike.
 Nevertheless THE OASIS believes the proposed constitution will not be to the welfare of Arizona. This journal is we'll aware that its atti- tude is unpopular; but it has not hesitated in the past in taking the unpopular side of public questions; nor does it hesitate now.
 In 1896 THE OASIS stood alone for the single gold standard when all the newspapers in Arizona were for free coinage of silver.
 At the time of the Russo-Japa- nese war THE OASIS espoused the cause of Russia, and the Tucson Citizen was the only newspaper in Arizona which stood with it.
 In 1906 this journal supported iointure with New Mexico because it believed the proposition right as matter of public policy.
 It believes yet that time will
The oasis., 1911-01-21

vindicate the correctness of its atti- tude on that question as it has done on the first two mentioned.
 Now this newspaper stands against adoption of the proposed constitution, because it believes that the good features of the instru- ment are more than counter balanced by those which are far from good, and some are positively vicious. And it does so fully aware of the unpopularity of its course, trusting to time for it's vim dication.
 YetlTHE OASIS is satisfied that the constitution will be approved by the people of Arizona by heavy majority. Very few demo- crats will vote against the instru- ment, while there will be many republicans who will vote for it.
 Which emphasizes the assertion at outset of this article that the re- suit of the election will be an object lesson with regard to the alleged power of the press" In the face of the strongest kind of opposition from many of the ablest news papers in Arizona that constitution will carry. Why? Because the instrument presented IS about what they want and that they will have nothing else. They have reached their conclusions, believe those conclusions are just, and no amount of argument or persuasion can divert them. Then why is it that the alleged "power of the press" is so futile and feeble? Because the newspaper, which has arrogated to itself the appellation is not all there is to "the press" That potent and far reaching influence is the mysterious emanation which gives to the eye and the imagination, and the reason the thoughts of others, and their conclusions in the survey of events and analysis of principles. It is not the news paper nor the magazines alone that can make that appeal. The press presents its influence in books, pamphlets, tracts, leaflets and dodgers. "The drop of ink which makes millions think" may appear elsewhere than upon the printed page of newspaper or periodical. And even when presented in the columns of a newspaper to reach the public mind and influence that mind it must have behind it the magnetism of reason that comes into close touch with the hearts of the people speaking to them with that mysterious voice which makes it seem to them that in the printed page they are reading their own thoughts.
 In the rapid growth of the new system of government that is gain- ing so swiftly in public estimation

advised his election. The commit tee adopted the advice of the re. tiring chairman. Later Mir. Pryce was made secretary. Neither gen. tleman was present. Had they been there they wonld have learn ed the almost unanimous senti. ment of the committee was that insurgency within the republican ranks and the progressive prin- clples" or popular government" might prove factors that would have to be reckoned with in the approaching campaign. For that very reason the committee agreed that the better plan would be to avoid formulation of party policys but to leave that to the various county conventions each to be gov. erned by it's local exigencies.
 Had the decision of the commit tee been observed and the local or ganizations been steered alright the constitutional convention would have been republican; and while "a republican convention would have put progressive principles into the proposed fundamental law, it would have avoided fro M, them so harshly and so radical. And such an instrument would have been just as acceptable to the great mass of the people of Ari. zona.
 But the only county which fol- lowed the lead given by the terri torlal committee was Santa Cruz. When the member of the commit tee representing this county re- turned home he found indeed that insurgency within the ranks of the republican party was a factor that had to be reckoned with. And it was taken into consideration with the result that Santa Cruz sent republican to the constitutional convention.
 Gila, Maricopa, Yuma and Ya- vapai could have been carried by the republicans upon progressive platforms. Pima was carried upon reactionary platform by the re- publican ticket; but because the oposition was divided between de- mocratic and labor tickets. Gila county also had three tickets, and the progressive vote was divided between the democratic and labor tickets. The democrats won, with exception of Langdon, a republi. can, who repudiated his party platform and was elected. Yavapai elected one republican. Upon 8 progressive platform the entire ticket would have carried. In Maricopa county the republican organization decreed a split, and the result was an overwhelming democratic majority. Yuma was inclined to insurgency. But, it is

sence of her parents, the welcome of
dear friends made her visit very
happy one. Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd live

Where Is Mother?

Memphis Herald: A little fellow
came running to a neighbours house
and there were tears in his eyes and
anxiety on his face as he said: do
you know where mama is? | came
home from school and she is not at
hCme."
A little girl met friend on the
street and said: Il want mama, have
you seen herr"
A tiny tot stood at a window, in
charge of an older child, and peep
ing out said: why don't mama
CCme?"
Where is mother?" shouted the
big boy, as he dashed into the house.
HAS she fixed that dip in my coat?"
Where can mother be?" says the
big birl who wants her waist all but
toned up behind that she may go to
the opera house.
where is mother, children?" asks
the husband and father as he comes
in from work and looks about.
Is it not simply wonderful how
many people want mother? Is not
she the most important person, the
needed person, the busiest person in
all the world? II she is not at home
how quickly her absence is OBJ
served. If she should go to a neigh
boris just for a moment she would
surely be wanted at home. If she
sees out for an evening she is prob
ably called to the phone and told to
come quickly because baby is sick,
or Jack has cut his finger, or Julia
has the headache or papa is lone
sCme.
Mother has the only hands that
can Danish the pain, the only voice
that will heal the bruise, the only
words that will settle disputes. She
| is the only one who knows where
every single thing is kept, and if alb
sent from home is sadly missed.
Little boy, little girl, big boy, big
girl, | don't know where your moth
er is now, but wherever she is, she
is ministering to you, and sacrificing
for you-and if, as must be in case
of some Of you, she has gone out OF
the home forever, yet believe me,
God is true and as the resurrection
is true, your mother somewhere and
some how is ministering to you.

The Good Work.

The good work of the depot ma
iron goes on. Every day there are
cases appalling and appealing. A
very distressing case came under
the observation of Mrs. Baker the
past week-a deserted wife with two
little children had arrived from New
Orleans and wanted to go on to Kan
sas City, where she had relatives.
But she had no means to enable her
to do so. The wretched woman had
ocme this far with the hope of get
ting on somehow. Mrs. Shuttleworth,
president of the Home Charitable
Association, was acquainted with
the facts, and the case received at
tention at once. The unhappy wom-
an was sent on her journey and pro-
vided with q small amount to supply
herself and children with food. How
safe it sounds and is to have depot
matron at our Union station. Hun
dreds during the year will pass
through with blessings on their lips
for her kindness.

Social.

Miss Made Lewis of New Orleans,
the lovely guest of her cousin, Mrs.

of gayeties these summer evenings.
A very charming little musical in
her honor at the home of Mrs. GrOs-
jean Tuesday evening gave the
guests the rare pleasure of enjoying
selections by Mr.. Ernest Reams and
Mr.. Art Carmody.
The pretty parlOr was fragrant
with roses from Mrs. Grosjean's gar
den, and the enjoyment of the even
ing was perfect in the delightful so
ciability that prevailed.
On Friday evening Mrs. Grosjean
invited a congenial company to play
rock. The joyous note of youth
pure merriment at failure as we'll as
success made the occasion happy
one. Assisting the gracious host in
the courtesies of the evening were
her daughter, Mrs. Matte Grace

Pink roses filled the air with per-
fume, and music followed the game.
Pretty prizes were won by the for
tunate players. st..
