Sonora Erazzuriz-Vergara had to tell

De Saulles could play football.
There never was one who could play

He won both races in which he rode.

Here the gun.cotton Is chopped up BY

 It should not be forgotten that when the Latin American republics were struggling to free themselves from European domination the promulgation of the Monroe doc Urine was of immense moral as- sistance to the success of their ef- forts. Europe recognized the doc Urine, and have kept respectfully away from America, except in the early sixties, when Napoleon III invaded Mexico, and was compelled to withdraw his armies or face 100,- GOO victors of the Civil War, with Sheridan at their head, massed on the Rio Grande, ready to strike at the behest of the great secretary, William H. Seward, who invited Napoleon to withdraw his forces from Mexico. But in assuming the guardianship of the American continent the United States has given bonds for public peace and order, and Europe will hold our people and our government to an enforcement of the bond. There lies the danger of intervention. When European nations tire of in- tolerable conditions in Mexico, and demand that the United States correct them, or they will, there will have to be American inter- vention, or the Monroe doctrine will be torn to tatters. The Amer. ican people will not stand for that.

THE PART OF WISDOM.

On the part of Arizona would be to give to the great mineral re- sources of the state the widest publicity. To do that intelligent ly and effectively it will be neces- sary to describe and define ac- curately those resources. and present such description and definition at points where they will attract the most attention and be given the widest publicity. The coming Panama Exposition in San Francisco, in 1915, offers the great est opportunity conceivable. All the world will attend that great exhibition, and the one at San Diego, and among the visitors will be thousands who take interest in mines and mining and make invest ments therein. To attract their attention and give them accurate and reliable information the state should prepare extensive mineral exhibits for display at those ex- positions, and accurate and reli- able scientific descriptions.
 To compass those desirable and much desired means of presenta- ton there has been presented in the state legislature a measure which is presented elsewhere in THE OASIS, providing complete
The oasis., 1912-04-20

geological survey of the state, a mapping and description of all mining areas, and the collection of extensive mineral exhibits, as des- cribed, for display.
 To be of value such work must be of the highest scientific and engineering execution, and there will be ample time to carry it out if the appropriation carried in the bill be made available immediately. Under the bill as framed the work Is to be placed in the control of the state geologist, who will be provid- ed with a capable and efficient corps of assistants, and an ap- propriation of $20,000 annually, for three years to defray expenses, which will be money we'll expended yielding intending incalculable re- turns. The total amount is less than that expended by many of the states every year. No state can benefit more than Arizona by such publicity as will be given under the plan proposed, and no state has more to advertise than has Arizona.
 The work proposed will benefit greatly all prospectors and small

 In the time and space at this time available THE OASIS cannot present more than the foregoing, but it will say in dismissing the sub- ject that it is inexhaustible. Every prospector and every mining man in Arizona should unite in exertion of every influence toward pushing to final enactment the measure known as Senate Bill No. 55.

THE SITUATION MEXICO.

Seems becoming graver and more perilous each day. There has been doing very little in decisive way in Chihuahua, and other parts of the republic where there is open rebellion against the Madero gov ernment, but the area of disaffectioh and trouble has spread with no little rapidity. Even in Sonora, which had seen very little if any signs of revolt, there is now a strained condition which threatens to break into disorder in all parts of the state. The Southern Pacific of Mexico has been interfered with in operation of it's trains, and Is able to give the public but a meagre and unsatisfactory service. Trains have been wrecked and lives of passengers lost, and travel by any means or method seems be- coming more dangerous each day. These conditions are extending to other states which were as peace ful as was Sonora few weeks ago. In fact the entire republic seems drifting into a state of anarchy.
 THE OASIS makes the admissions in the foregoing paragraph with much reluctance. It has hoped and believed all along that the people of Mexico would discounten- ance the attempts at second re- volution, and by the very force of public sentiment compel those dis satisfied with the Madero govern ment to hold their resentment until the next election, and correct at the ballot box the evils of which they complain. But there arises now fear that such hope and belief are misplaced.
