zona constitution are vicious, and not progressive. One holds club over free and independent press, and the other holds club over an upright and untrammeled bench. The class of judges who will be construing the law with one eye upon the recall will be construing the law of libel in such way that there will be removed the greatest fear that possesses the hearts of evil doers-the fear of publicity.
 TIE OASIS does not believe in the sanctity of the ermine the least little bit. But 1t does believe in the efficiency of the judiciary. And that is why it is opposed to the recall of the judiciary as pro- vided in the proposed constitution. That provision will not make for efficiency of the judges. It is all very we'll and good to set up the proposition that a judge shall be called to account for his shortcom- ings on the bench or off. But the people have that in the power of impeachment, wherein there is thrown about the accused all the regularity and solemnity that is given the commonest criminal arraigned at the bar of his court. Is 1t right, is it fair, is it honest to take away from any judge the safe guards thrown around him by im- peachment and trial in due form, and lay him open to assault before popular tribunal by vindlctlve- ness, hatred, malice and fear in the hearts of men who cannot use him /? THE OASIS maintains that to sub- iect the bench to probability oi such assaults will derogate from its dignity and efficiency.

FOR EFFICIENCY OF THE JUDICIARY.

In its opposition to the proposed constitution for Arizona including the recall of the judiciary THE OASIS does not for one moment concede that there is anything sacred in the judicial office whereby it shall be separated and set apart above and over the people. This newspaper has con- demned always and derided the expression used so frequently by people and newspapers, aping the English way, of saying that judge "has handed down" decision or a ruling. That expression may be all right in England where the courts are the Kings and the judge seated upon the bench is the Kings personal representative to almin- ister justice in his stead. In that case he is above and over the people and he can "hand down" his decisions and rulings. Even those newspapers that are so strenuous in assertion that the judicial office is not sacred, the Arizona Gazette for instance, makes use of that in- appropriate expression). But in a free republic where all men are equal, judge cannot "hand down" decisions. He is not up anywhere to hand them down. He renders them.
 In the same way there is another expression wherein apers of the English way offend propriety, in writing that a case has been or is to be "carried up to the supreme court" That mode of expression may be all right under any monarchical form of government; but in a republic it is not good form. The proper expression is that case "has been appealed to the supreme court"
 Some of those who are so fond of high sounding expressions go so far as to write or say that a grand jury has handed up an indict- ment," or trial jury has handed

over Dy nllOusterlng. The enabling act provides expressly that if Con- gross adjourns it's regular session without disappearing the consti- tuition, when the instrument is once before it with presidential sanction, it then goes into effect without anything further except proclamation by the President, which must be given within a specified time. Now, then, the election on the New Mexico consti- tuition will be held next week, the vote can be canvassed and certified up to the President in ample time to receive his approval and be transmitted to Congress before the present regular session expires by constitutional limitation on the fourth of March: and as asserted hereinbefore, if Congress adjourrs without disappearing the instru- ment it goes into effect, and the democrats in Congress cannot pre- vent it. They cannot hold it back and carry it over to a special ses- sion of Congress, if there be one, awaiting the Arizona constitution which cannot reach Washington until after adjournment of tho present regular session of Congress.
 There are two causes for the ad- vantage New Mexico has in this matter. Their election for dele. gates was called a week earlier than was the Arizona election, and consequently their constitutional convention assembled a week earlier. Then the New Mexico convention completed it's work within fifty days while the Arizona convention was in session sixty days. The time intervening be- tween adjournment and election upon adoption is the same in both territories, and in both the return ing board has the same period of time after the election before meet ing to canvass the vote. So the New Mexico constitution will start for Washington more than two weeks earlier than will the Arizona constitution, and will get to the President at least ten days before the fourth of March, about which date the Arizona constitution will be leaving Phoenix. And if the President approves and transmits to Congress the New Mexico con- i stitution before the fourth of March nothing can prevent that territory becoming a state by the Fourth of July. And the senators and repre- sentatives from New Mexico will be seated in the next Congress and have voices in considering the Ari- zona constitution should it get by the President.

up a verdict" Either expression is entirely out of place, and as offensive as either of the other in- tances cited. Juries "hand up" nothing. They present" indict- ments or verdicts in open courts, having first found" them. It is all this fol-de-rol in dealing with court proceedings, for which to a great extent newspapers are respon- sible, that has created in some minds an idea of the sacredness of the judiciary, and in some classes of minds goes even so far as to con- demn criticisms of decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.
 In one very important particular the proposed constitution for Ari- zona omits an opportunity taken by most of the states to give the bench suggestive admonition that it is not sacrosanct; and that is the provision in the declaration of rights with regard to liberty of speech and freedom of the press (Sec. 6) which reads: Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right" That is all the safeguard that is thrown about those two sheet anchors of free government. Now the consti- tutions of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, California, and many other states, go on and say in substance: 'In trial of all in- dictments or informations charging libel the accused shall have the right to plead that the alleged libellous publication is true, was published without malice and for public ends, and upon such plead ing he shall be acquitted; 0nd the .jury 8haU be the judge of the laV and the fact8." There's the point: in the italicized sentence. There was where the people of large majori- ty of states set their condem- nation upon the doctrine that the judiciary is sacred. But the pro- posed constitution of Arizona opens the door for judges of narrow, vim dictive stamp to construe the law upon the old common law doctrine that "the greater the truth the greater the libel," and impose it upon juries to convict men who have done the public great service by publishing the truth for public ends. Recall of the judiciary will never make amends for that step backward in the constitution of Arizona.
 Probably someone will ask why THE OASIS is so opposed to recall of the judiciary by constitutional provision and at the same time criticises the lack of control of the judiciary in the provision in the bill of rights with regard to libel2

TORRES WARNS TIE
 PEOPLE ID STAY OFF
(pougIag International.l

Last night Comisario LiDorio Vas .quez received a telegram form Cen eral Torrez. ip which he was told to warn Americans of the dagger of crossing the line al these times and of the steps that should be taken by those who had business on the Mexican side. The telegram was sent from Cananea and. translated. is as fouaws:
 .Caranea, Sonaro. Mexico. March H. Liborio Yasquez. Comissrio. Agua
 Prieta. Sonora
 Please notify the people residing in Douglas and those passing 70 Agua Prieta that in crossing the line they are doing so entirely under their own responsibility and without the right to remain there, on ac- count of what might happen to them under the existing circumstances, and that in passing 10 Agua Prieta they should do so by passing the Mexican customs house. with the ob- ligation of presenting themselves to the military commander of Agua Pricta LUIS E. TORRES. Prisoners Are Released. At Agua Prieta this morning it was learned that several of ths prisoners arrested on Sunday at the battlefield had succeeded in proving that they were innocent non-com- battants and fin no way affiliated with the Maderistos and were today discharged from custody. An exam ination of the facts and circum- stances surrounding each case is be ing made and as the prisoners are found to be innocent of rebellion they will be discharged.
 Wounded Come Here. Instructions were received from General Torres this morning by the iAgua Prieta officials to arrange with one of the hospitals in Douglas for the care of the men who were wounded in the fight on sunday. This will be done this afternoon and the suffering men brought to Douglas and made as comfortable as 1t is pos. sible to make them.
 The fact that General Torres is in 'Cananea has led to the belief in some quarters that he may come to Agua Prieta with large force and personally conduct the campaign against Blanco.

BROWN BREAKS BONES.

Calvin G. Brown, 303 High
street, Tuesday afternoon, fell from
the rear of a wagon on which he
was standing, in front of McKanna's
Cooperage, and fractured his left
collar bone and injured his left
shoulder. The accident happened in
a peculiar manner. With another
man he was engaged, about 4:30
o'clock, in unloading barrel slaves,
when the driver lost his footing and
fell off the seat landing between the
horses. The animals took fright
and started to run away, and Mr..
Brown, who was in the rear of the
wagon was hurled to the ground.
DR.. F. w. Powell was summoned and
made the injured man as comfortable
as possible. Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Brown left for Scranton, accom-
panied by his daughter, Miss Anna,
where he will enter the State Hospi-
tai for treatment.

FREE SMOKERS"
ARE BANNED |!
Local Factories Affected
By the New Law
If YOU MUST SMOKE, BUY YOUR
CIGARS!-IT MAY BE CHEAP
ER IN THE END!

The ban has been placed on fac
tory smokers and the price is
likely to go up unless the manufac-
turers see a way to get around the
law and evade heavy fine and pos
sibly a two-year Jail sentence. Harry
Hershey, Revenue Collector, whose
offices are at Lancaster, was Tuesday
notified that hereafter cigar manu-
facturers must not allow employees
to take " smokers " unless they are
stamped before removal from the
factory. The plea that it is an old
custom to give employees such privi-
lege will not be accepted as an ex-
cuse
1t has been the custom of the men
and girls employed in the cigar fac
tories to take out daily a number of
" smokers and hand them around
to friends. Some cigar factory girls
have been rather liberal in handing
out smokers and there was a
time when men passengers on street
cars watched for the girls. These
" smokers " are also sold in large
and small quantities at low rates and
are in great demand. Now that
they must be stamped, the same as
any other product of a cigar factory,
it will mean an increase in price and
a decrease in the liberality of the
factory employees.
Inquiry at local factories brought
the statement that as yet no order
has been received officially regard
ing factory smokers" but that
there have been reports of an order
of this kind for long time, and un-
til official notice was received
" smokers . would be given out as
usual.
The smokers " are very desir-
able, the only difference being that
they may have bad wrapper or are
not cut properly, and because of
these defects are not passed by the
inspectors and assorters.
