TORREZ PAYS THE
 PENALTY

PENAL
 Simplicio Torrez died on the gallows today, (Friday) at the state prison at Florence. Thus he paid the penalty for his crime of killing a fellow man in cold blood. His death can not bring back the life of the big hearted and public spirited man who died at his hands, nor can the death of such as he ever atone for the crime committed but there is a degree of satisfac- tion in knowing that we live in a law abiding state wherein he who violates our laws must pay the penalty for his misdeeds. In this way Victor Melick, ever quick to serve his fellow men, will have given such service ev- performance of public duty, at- tempting to take into custody en in his death. He died in the one whose freedom was a men ace to public safety, and thru his death a lesson has been giv- en to those who might contem- plate criminal career, which will cause many of them to turn from such a course. It may be truthfully said that Victor Mel ick died that others might live.
 Far be it from us to gloat over the death of a fellow man. We can but regret that any should choose course which makes it necessary for society to deprive him of his life, for the safety of the lives of others But we do rejoice to know that when a man like Torrez, does choose such course, the police, and legal forces of the state are ever ready to stop his creer and save society from repetition of his crimes.
 In the death of Torrez, the forces of law and order have achieved great victory. Those who once contended that quick action in such cases, by body of vigilantes is better than risk ing the slow and orderly course of law to meet out justice, now confess their error and ac- knowledge that it is better thus. Justice born of the heat of pub- lie indignation is liable to err, and in 1t there is often just grounds for the resentment ire ouently harbored by friends of those suffering at the hands of the self appointed posse. Where ] the law has taken it's orderly, though slow, course, as in this case, leaving not a shred of doubt as to the justice of the penalty pronounced, none can object to the imposing of that penalty except he be a foe to organized society.
 It is great consolation, too, to know that all the chicanery of that part of the legal nrofes- sion which for few dollars, would defeat the ends of just ice by any means whatsoever, cannot avail to save one whose guilt is clear. Sometimes it ap- pears as though only money and an unprincipled lawyer are needed to defeat the ends of the law. They failed to defeat jus tice in this case and this failure strengthens our faith to believe that they will continue to fail in our good state, in years to l come.
 Living life that made him but a curse to society, Simplicio Torrez at last, through his death has performed a real l service to his fellow men. Knowledge of his death will stand as a great danger sign along the road which many of the young men of the state will pass, warning them to turn from the path followed by Tor reg lest they too, pay the same penalty. And there will be many who will heed and turn back making both property and life safer in the good state of Arizona.

ting in which to make the demonstra-
tion.

been manned by their competitive
Corinthians. c. F.. Soaring, who has
been endeavoring ell summer to win at

Mrs. f. [. MALLORY
Wins Tennis Title
at Cedarhurst Club

Mrs. Franklin l. Mallory did the ex-
pected and won the annual women's In
vitation tennis tournament at the Rock
away Hunting Club, at Cedarhurst, L.
l., yesterday by defeating Miss Edith
Sigourney in the final round. The score
of the match was 6-1, 60. The Nor
wegian fash had things practically her
own way during the entire contest.
The former Miss Bjurstedt played
superbly in both sets. Miss Sigourney
was unable to withstand the slashing
attack of her hard-hitting opponent,
who swept the net with lightning-like
drives that were cleverly placed on the
lines and back court. Miss Sigourney
was able to take but one game, that
coming in the first set.
However. Mrs. Mallory did not fare
50 we'll in the doubles final. Playing
with Miss Eleanor Goss she suffered
defeat at the hands Of Miss Eleanor
Tenant, the California star, and Miss
Helen Baker, the score Of the match
being 6-2, Ga. Miss Tenant and
Miss Baker played together splendidly
and their concerted efforts proved too
much for their opponents, who trailed
nearly the whole distance.

Cantigny Is First
Home i'm Victory
Cup at Cravesend

Series racing for the summer came
to an end on Gravesend Bay yester-
day, with the annual regatta Of the
Crescent Athletic Club. The wind was
light and from south by east when the
race committee, made up Of C. A.
Kelley, chairman, Richard Rummell,
and Commodore H. Rottammer, set the
course signals. 1t came from a quarter
that enabled the committee to pick an
ideal course for the Victory yachts,
the star boats of the regatta.
1t was from Sea Gate, to Benson
hurst, across the channel to the Craven
Shoal Boy, and then down the chan
mel to Buoy No. 18, at the mouth of
Ambrose Channel. This was the first
time the course has been sailed this
year and as the wind came the craft
had good beat from the Craven Shoal
mark to the buoy at the mouth of the
Ambrose Channel.
1t was good race until the wind
petered out, with Cantigne leading at
every mark. Mavourneen scored a sail
over prize in the second division of
the handicap class. In Class X, E. T.
SuPper's Mouse again scampered away
with the prize. The yacht has won first
prize in practically every start this
summer. Although Lewis Atkinson 8
Scud was the first of the third division
of the handicap class to finish, oj
CORRECTED time the winner was J. L..
Lassoe's Moonshine, a yacht that has
not been doing particularly we'll all
season.
Although yesterday saw the ending
OF the championship regattas, several
ether races are scheduled for the Lower
Bay. Tomorrow the Atlantic Yacht
Club will hold its annual regatta. The
yachts will start at 10 a. m. In the
afternoon, the Gravesend Bay Yacht
Club will hold club race for motor
boats. The latter organization also has
announced a race for next Saturday
afternoon for cups offered by Commo-
dore H. Rottammer. There will be cups
offered for both club yachts and for
open classes. The summary:

Sutherland Expresses Qualification
 At Vote Given Him.

Expressing his pleasure at the overwhelming endorsement giv- en his candidacy by the people of Alaska in Tuesdays election, Delegate-elect Dan A. Suther- land, in a brief statement made to a representative of The Elm pire this morning, declared his intention of getting down to work in preparation for his ac- tivities at Washington after he takes his seat in Congress next March. While he will leave for the East sometime during the winter, he was unable to say just when, stating that he had considerable business to look after in Alaska before he would be able to get away.
 Before he leaves, MT. Suther- land said that he would discuss fully the matter of regulations for and methods of handling the fishing industry. He plans conferences with both fishermen and cannerymen, he said. He will also study the pulp and paper question including timber and water power resources, get ting whatever datasis available on these things. Data relative to the need of Alaska for a bonus on gold production will also be assembled.
 Asked if he would attend the hearings on the question of regulations for all kinds of fish traps in Alaska to be held in Seattle the latter part of this month, MT. Sutherland said that he would be unable to do so, regretting that such was the case.

LEAGUE BLAM ED FOR REPUBLICANS HUGE PLURALITY
Borah, Reed, Bryan, Others Declare Democrats Defeat
 Due to League Position.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 4.x Belief that the extent of the Demo. cratic defeat in the national cleo lions Tuesday can be traced to the League of Nations issue, was ex- pressed today by both Republican and Democratic leaders, all, how ever, opponents of the covenant.
 Senator William E. Borah. of Idaho, issued a statement saying:
 "l regard election as a triumph of Nationalism and the death of the League of Nations"
 Senator James A. Reed of Miss ouri declared that Democratic sup port of the League of Nations caused the party's defeat.
 "It was the tragic mistake of supporting that issue that split the party" he said.
 William J. Bryan blamed the Democratic defeat equally between President Wilson and Governor Cox.
 The President laid the founda- ton for the disaster and the Gov ernor completed the disaster" he asserted.
 Farley p Christensen, Farmer Labor candidate for President. sees in Harding's victory elimination of the Democratic Party as a factor in National politics. He declared the next Presidential race will be be- tween the Republicans and the Farmer Labor Party.
