ELECTION RESULTS.

The returns at this writing indicate
that Colonel Wilson has been elected
Delegate to Congress by a majority
that will exceed 400.
The returns, it must be said, are far
from complete, but with reports re-
ceiyed and careful estimates Of missing
nrac;ncts in many of the counties, it
Is entirely safe to say that safe ma
ioritv Of voters cast their ballots for
Colonel Wilson.
This was by far the most important
Office at stake in the election in this
Territory. With Wilson safely elect
ed in Arizona, and Oklahoma and New
Mexico showing Republican majorities,
there will be no reasonable doubt of
the Statehood bill passing the Senate
next winter.
The result throughout the country
is in the main hopeful for the Demo-
Gratis. There is undoubtedly a Demo
cratic revival. There is still some
doubt about the complexion of Con-
gress, but New York is once again in
the list of doubtful States.
Locally, the Republicans almost
cleaned the platter. The Democrats
pulled about enough out of the wreck
In Pima county to remind them that
they are alive. In order to get any
thing in this county the Democrats
must work harder and have better
organization in future.

Is CRIME a IDISERSE?

Uncle Sam has an inspiration. He

for prisons, and has reached the con-
clusion that it would be wise thing
to spend $4,000 year in an effort to
discover whether or not crime is a dis
ease. 1t is high time, too, according
to the government view, that such an
investigation should be made, as sta

A BANK STORY. ;E.s
An Incident That Btartled the Ola
Lady OF Threa0nee0le street.


Some years ago the directors of the
Bank of England were startled to re-
ceive an invitation to meet an un-
known man In the strongroom OF the
bank at midnight. You think you is
all safe hand you bank his safe, but

guarded the next night in spite of 81
disposition to regard the letter as
hoax by police and-nothing happened
The next phase of the mystery was
more astonishing than ever. A heavy
chest of papers and securities taken
from the strongroom arrived at the
bank, with letter complaining that
the directors had set the police upon
the writer. and that he had therefore
not appeared as he promised. but to
prove that he was neither a thief nor
a fool he sent a chest of papers he had
taken from the bank. Let a few gen
tlemen be alone in the room, and he
would join them at midnight, said the
writer, and to cut short long and
strange chapter of bank history, man
with dark lantern burst into the
strongr0om of the bank at midnight
after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the
lights. He was one of strange class
of men who gained living by search
ing the sewers at night and through
an opening from sewer he had found
his way into the richest room in the

AN ORDERLY COMMUNITY.

To people who have had opportunity
to witness the conduct of elections
elsewhere, in the older States and
larger cities-and no doubt there are
many such residing in Tucson-the
conduct of the people of this town on
election day must have been peculiarly
gratifying.
The contest was spirited. The par
tisans were active and very much in
earnest. The straight party voter
was as rigid and unbending as else
where, but good nature prevailed
throughout, and the best of order was
maintained. There was not single
quarrel deserving of notice reported,
there was not even boisterous talk,
and there was not drunken man Wis
ible.
All of this is very creditable to the
community. 1t shows high state OF
civilization. 1t proves that the people
are worthy of Statehood, because they
can govern and control themselves. 1t
demonstrates that law, order and re-
spect for the rights, privileges and
sentiments of others dominate the
community. This is as it should be,
and Tucson is to be congratulated.
