HE ARIZONA KICKER.
A Few Strenuous Protests Against Things
In Geuerzl

-
In General
We Gull the following from the last ISSUE Of
The Arizona Kicker;
''oUR CIRCULATION.
There are newspapers ~hsch do mere blow
ing about their circulation than we do, and
there may be a few who add more subscribers
in a single week. but The Kicker gets there
just the same We began on circulation of
two - copies, one OF which we carried about
in our own pocket, and the ether went ne a
deadhead 10 the postmaster We now work iDS
copies, which ara paid for il advance. This
IS an increase Of "a per cent in seven months.
and we've got dollar which says no other
newspaper in the world can equal IL
We don't claim that the Kickor makes
kings and enperors tremble on their thrones,
or TINT it has bettered the moral standing Of
the American masses 900 per cent, but we
do know that We have made life worth the
fvfng for good many people ont this way
who were ready 10 hang themselves when
our first number was issued, and that every
new subscriber who comes has faith that we
VIII make better man Of him"
'oUR EXCUSE
"We have been severely criticised because
VIC refused TO attend the funeral Of old Pete
Shiny, who died on the street one night last
week. IL Is ca med that Uid Pete vas our
creditor in tho sum Of sl3, and that Il was
shabby in as not TO sec him planted
''In the frst place Old Pete owed US so Dor
rowed money, Instead Of our owing him. Ia
the next our Sunday pantaloons neoded
patch about four feet square az the end oppo-
site the bow, and we did not care % subject
ourselves 10 ridicule for the sake OF showing
on. We can keep our back behind us in oar
own Office until better times arrive, and that's
what we are trying to do. We have sent 10
San Francisco for patch the color Of cur
pantaloons. and when it arrives and L. welded
on TO the spot Richard will b. himself again,
and ready 10 rustic &C funerals or address
public meeting on the topics Of the day.
''NUsT TAKE THEIR CHANCES
"Three times during the last month we
have surprised oursef and the public BY
mopping the loSr with aSsai.ants, while on
two occasions VIC have isDoniniously took
70 fight. We aaJe il ss a Psychological fact
ihgt there are times when We had as Lief fghs
4 dozen men, and other times whom we'd run
from a good sizod boy Parties planning 10
lick US must be prepared 70 take their
chances. We may aght IKE a lion or run
like jack rabbit"
