Ill KD, Managing Kdltor. WHY THE DIFFERENCE? Recently there appeared in one of the Los Angeles dailies an in terview with Cotonel Epes Ran dolh of Tucson, in which the gentleman took most pronounced ground against jointure for New Mexico and Arizona. One of his most emphatic points was that he could not advise investment of capital in a state that is controlled by Mexicans, as will be the new proposed state; and that until the menace of joint-statehood has passed important and heavy in vestments in Arizona, which had been referred to him for approval, will be withheld; and if jointure prevails they will be. entirely abandoned. Now then beside controlling important investments in Arizona, Colonel Randolph controls im portant investments in the Mexi can state of Sonora. Yet he does not hestitate to recommend in vestment of capital in that state, which is controlled entirely by Mexicans. He is president of the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pacific Railway, a corporation which is building railway lines in Sonora right now, and has perfected plans to gridiron the state with new railway lines. He is president of the Llanos de Oro Placer Mining Co., which is developing great properties in the Altar district of Sonora; and he has not hesitated to recommend investment of capi-i tal in that great enterprise, which! is destined to prove one of the greatest gold producers upon the continent. Besides that he is re puted to have secured valuable mining properties along the Yaqui river, in development of which he will doubtless recommend invest ment of capital. Now all these vast interests in Sonora controlled by Colonel Randolph, are at the mercy of state officials in Sonora, who are all Mexicans, just as much as would be the great in terests in Arizona under the con trol of Mexican officials at Santa Fe, should jointure prevail. More so; for some of the officials in the new stUe will be Americans. Colonel Randolph has no fear in trusting to Mexican officers in So nora all of his vast interests and hestitates not at recommending in vestment of capital therein. Then why should he draw the line against Mexican officials in the coming great state of Arizona? Surely if can trust them in Sonora he can do so in Arizona. SKEPTICAL Misinformation in great hunks and gobs continue to come from the anti-jointure literary bureau in Washington about the prospect f 1 !'''!'!, A ' f ' ' -H Hi" f ','(!,! !i ! fii --k t ! , i r ' r n ' r i I i'ifi i ti of,- j, t r ! !

Then it would he kil!e in the House cant u-. The cauctM (conference) declared for jointure lv a vote exceeding two to one. Now the measure is to be beat by recalcitrant republicans joined with the democrats to vote itdown. Failing in that the sen ate will give the proposition its death blow. Maybe these predic tions of the antis will come to pass. But their prophesies heretofore panned out so disastrously that The Oasis has become quite skeptical. SEES THE KU KLUX KLAN COMING. When in Tucson last Saturday The Oasis editor heard Mr. Rodev put the question plump to the most prominent and bitterly hos tile opponent of jointure: "Why do you oppose so bitterly the proposition of annexing New Mexico to Arizona?" Here is his reply and the pity ofitMI "I lived manv vears in the South and I know how we had to resort to killing negroes in order to se cure decent government. Now I know full well that should we be joined to New Mexico there will have to be adopted the same policy of murder and repression to keep the Mexicans in subjection and have any chance for decent govern ment." Now how is that for an argu ment? Was there ever anything more pitiful conceived? Those who are murdering helpless Jews in Russia probably feel the same j way. Yet the man who made the assertion herein quoted thinks himself a human being reasoning, tninking HERE'S ONE. The Douglas International American says: "We have never heard of a man in Cochise county who openly advocated joint state hood." The Oasis will inform its esteemed contemporary of one right now: Mr. P. B. Soto, of the well known commercial house of Soto Brothers of Wilicox, is an ardent advocate of jointure; and in Tucson last Sunday morning The Oasis editor heard Mr. Soto so declare himself to Mr. W. B. Cleary of Phoenix, the chief mis informant of the Anti-Joint-State hood League. Moreover Mr. Soto stated to Mr. Cleary that a large majority of the business men of Wilicox openly support jointure; and he expressed an opinion that if given an opportunity to vote for a state constitution the people of Arizona will adopt one by an over whelming majority. COULDN'T DO IT. The Immigration Commissioner of Cochiso county will think of the affairs of the county thirty-one hundred dol lars worth, when the friendly Board of Supervisors tell him to think'that much and the people will foot the bill. Bis bee Miner. Does the Miner really believe that should the gentlemanly offi cial mentioned work his thinker over hours for thirty-one days that he could think thirty-one hundred cents worth? Remarkable, is it not, how the American people thrive and wax great upon "crimes". From the earliest recollection of the most -'I f if n n ) i ve t hey h id ' I I Uli''J." t !f"H ?

Srn.Ji'XT aspirants to journalism to examination as to proliciency, and license them, is a proposi tion presented by tin; Naco Budget. Theoretically the idea is excellent. There are altogether too many freaks and frauds in the newspaper business, and they cheapen and degrade what should be a noble profession. But the constitution of the United States and of all the states are insurmountable obstacles to the proposition. Last week the Cieneguita Copper Company, at its annual meeting in Tucson, decided to transfer its or ganization from Arizona to Neva da, Judge Campbell, the chief at torney of the corporation, holding that a territorial form of govern ment is entirely too unstable for safety where are concerned in terests so important and valuable as have become those of the Ciene guita Companv. Significant, sure- From Washington comes the word direct that the President re ceived one hundred and fifty-seven telegrams from Arizona and New Mexico thanking him for his re commendation that Arizona and New Mexico be made one state. It is related (on excellent authori ty a wireless message however) that they were flaunted in the face of one "anti" who called on the president to protest. Pouring hot shot into the ranks of the anti-jointure crowd at Bis bee is the Miner of that city. Brother Semple has been aroused at the many epithets cast at him by the Review, and the efforts of the Copper Queen organ to start a boycott against the Miner. But then that is the only kind of am munition they have, and Semple should not fret at that. Keep after them just the same. Those upon the other side who are desperately fighting joint statehood in Congress have never yet explained how with ninety five per cent of the people of Ari zona with them and two thirds of the people of New Mexico they so earnestly oppose sending the proposition to the polls in a con stitutional election and snow it under by an adverse vote.
