fore Police Arrived

A very bold and persistent attempt
to rob certain rooms in the Lincoln
mats on East Gambler street was maue
Oh FRIDAY night. The burglars were dis
covered IN ume, however. to prevent
their making away with much booty.
At about twelve o'clock, an attempt
was made TO enter the rooms occu.
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Burnett on
the third floor, but the men were
bunglesome in their work and Mrs
Burnett was awakened by the noise
and an alarm was made. Two men
were seen to run as far west as Main
street and then disappear. In about
cne-half hour, another noise was
heard in the hallway and Mr.. Bur.
nett made an attempt to learn the
identity of the would-be robbers by
stealing upon them, but they we're warn.
ed in some manner and again made
their escape. This time the two men
turned north on Blackberry alley and
were lost sight OF, The police were mott
fled after the second attempt but moth
ingfi could be found OF the men.
On searching the building after the
excitement had died down, all that
could be found to be missing from any
place was marble top from a fine
stand which was standing in the hall
way.

BIRDING FOR A FALL"

The same coterie of charming gentlemen who manipulated and led to disaster the Citizens Ticket in the Nogales municipal election in 1902 are courting a similar dis aster for their straight democratic ticket in this municipal election in 1910; and are doing so by similar methods to a great extent. Per- haps they fail to recollect the dis aster of eight years ago, so THE OASIS will jog their memories. At that time the same little coterie that are running the democratic party ROW got together in a corner and put up the "Citizen's Ticket" It consisted of very good men some of the best in the town. But the method of naming the ticket in secret did not set we'll upon the public mind. So there was called a public mass meeting which mo- minated a Taxpayers Ticket" " Upon that ticket there were nom- mated some very good men also. Two of the candidates nominated for Councilmen upon the Citizens licked were nominated also upon the Taxpayers Ticket. They were Captain L. w. Mix and A. s. Noon. That insured their election unan- imously. No matter which ticket ~as elected they were sure of elec-

stand and set upon it their seal of condemnation at the polls next Monday.
 In this election public sentiment has demanded that a choice be given the electors when they go to the polls to vote for municipal government for the approaching term of office. Had not sentiment demanded such choice it would have been a simple matter to have arranged an amalgamated ticket as was done in 1906 and again in 1908. There was rebellion against the joint ticket in 1906, but the personnel and leadership of the movement at that time commanded neither respect nor confidence, and 1t proved futile. Two years ago there was no opposition to the joint ticket. But in this election public sentiment demands choice be- tween two tickets; and the proper way would have been to have called mass meetings and nominated a "Citizens' Ticket" and "Taxpay- ers' Ticket" and kept politics out of consideration. And the proper way would have been also to have refrained from all effort at manipu. lation of the opposition ticket. A course of that kind is peanut poll. tics of the rankest sort. And in for getting their disaster of eight years ago and following it again now several very estimable gentlemen are riding for fall"

THE CENSUS.

The army of census enumerators which commenced work on the ff- teenth of April, has about finished the task of enumeration, and the tabulation of the returns has con- menced in the census bureau at Washington. It will be some time before promulgation of the exact details of all the data gathered, but it is probable that the figures of the population will be made known approximately within a few weeks. At the rate of increase shown in preceding enumerations of the people of the United States the total population will exceed ninety millions. The first census was taken in 1790, showing in round numbers 3,900,000 people. The subsequent counts including the last in 1900, were as follows: 1900, 5,SOO,OOO; 1910, 100000; 1920, 9,6OO,OOO; 1880. 12,9OO,OOO; 1S4O, 17,1OO,OOO; 1850, 23,2OO,OOO; 1860, 3l, 100000; 1870, 3S,6OO,OOO; 1880, 5O,2oO,OOO; 1890, 62,6OO,OOO; 1900, 76,3OO,OOO.

A RIGHT pleasant lot of gentle men are the candidates on the straight democratic ticket; but they are in the wrong boat this time. In standing for partisanship in municipal affairs they are clinging to an antiguo and obsolete practice.

manipulators of the Citizens Ticket. If elected at all Messrs. Mix and Noon must be under obligations to them. So they brought to bear upon the two sure candidates such la pressure to withdraw from the other ticket that they did so. The very unfairness and injustice of the operation made votes against the entire ticket; and it was showed under, subiecting Messrs. Mix and Noon to the modification of an unnecessary and uncalled for defeat.
 The same methods have been adopted to keep good men from accepting nominations upon the Non-Partisan ticket in the present election. In the first place the same men who manipulated the disaster to the Citizens Ticket in 1902 have had a potent and promi- nent hand in forcing upon the Democracy at this time a straight ticket, against the better sense and judgment of some of the best men in their party; and even against the wishes of some of the men upon their ticket. Some of the candi- dates were forced to go upon their ticket against their own wish by holding over them the party lash and threatening them with disaster to their future aspirations in county politics. Then over others were held the same lash and threats should they accept nomination upon a non-partisan ticket. And only this week, when a prominent democrat had consented to go upon the Non-Partisan Ticket in the place of Doctor Gustetter, who was found ineligible under the civil service rules of the general govern ment, there was exercised great pressure by his party associates to induce him to withdraw from the ticket he had consented to go upon. It is credibly reported that whole lot of them ate a good deal of humble pie to the gentleman men tioned, and worked with him very hard before they succeeded in inducing him to draw down. They were successful. But there was no difficulty in putting up another good candidate, and the vacant place on the Non-Partisan Ticket was filled readily with a first class man who is very popular, and a vote getter-Mr. Charles F. Holler. Then the same kind of work was tried ineffectively upon Mir. Holler.
