 It is in no spirit of fault finding that THE OASIS presents the fore going statements. What will be done will be no more than this journal has maintained always would be done should the turn of the political tide return the demo- cratic party to power. Republican officials have gone along for sixteen years retaining in office democrats they found there, and appointing to vacancies other democrats when there were to be had republica ns just as competent who would have been glad to take the places. We have seen republican judges upon the bench who appointed democrats their clerks. We have had in Ari- zona republican territorial govern ors who appointed democrats to important political offices. We have had collectors of customs who have retained in office active democrats and appointed others to fill va cancies. Through all these years THE OASIS objected upon the very grounds that 1t was not politics, it was not just to republican workers, and 1t was not what democratic officials would do under similar circumstances. Now the whirligig of time has restored the democracy to power, and there will be ex- hibited 8 clean sweep of republicans from federal offices. This news paper has no complaint to offer. Its complaints have been during the past sixteen years, and directed at officials who called themselves republicans. "To the victors be- long the spells" Turn the rascals out"

SEVERAL readers have inquired of THE OASIS whether the new con. stitutional amendment enfranchis- ing women in Arizona extends to them the right to hold office and the duty to serve on juries. It does not. Those features of citi- zenship are conferred by law upon male electors only. In the move ment to secure equal suffrage the ballot was the sole and only ob- iect in view, as it was all that would be necessary to bring the others, whenever the women want them Probably the first legislature select ed at an election in which women electors vote will remedy the omis- sions.

PREPARING A CLEAN SWEEP.

sweep in all the federal offices, and every republican in office now will be called to relinquish his position as shortly as possible after the in- auguration of President-elect Will son, in March next. It is given out that those who have been ap- pointed for specified periods will be permitted to serve out their terms, unless there shall be found good reason for displacing them sooner, to do differently from which would be difficult, for the Hist of offices is so long, and there are so many terms expiring daily that it is decided tax upon the executive departments to fill them with new men as they become vacant. For each office there will be many applicants all with good claim to the place he has picked, and to consider the various aspirants and their claims, making the best selections. cannot be done in a day. Naturally those ap- preaching vacancy will be taken into consideration at the earliest dates. As they are disposed of in regular succession other vacancies will be falling due and requiring consideration; and there will be little time or opportunity to take into consideration out of their order any places with considerable time due the incumbents, except for cause. Those now in office who are giving satisfactory service may expect reasonably to serve out their terms, but they can serve prepared to vacate promptly upon expiration of those terms.
 And there will be witnessed a far wider change than displace- ment of those holding for specified terms. There is an insistent de- mand for the appointment of demo- -crats to those places protected by civil service rules and the incum. bents supposedly in office during good behavior. It will be recalled that at the last session of Congress there was passed as a rider upon an appropriation bill provision changing the tenure of office under the civil service rules to a period of seven years, instead of the present life tenure. The proposition was de- feated only by interpretation of a presidential veto. Congress then passed the bill with the feature noted eliminated. That will be one of the first measures to be introduced in the new Congress, and passed. It will not be vetoed Another measure will be the immediate revocation by President Wilson of the recent order of President Taft placing under civil service rules some thirty-six thousand fourth class post offices. That was what President Harrison did in 1887 to
