COSMOPOLITAN TOMBSTONE

What makes America great? IL is the ethnological amalga- nation of the Caucasian races. the combining of the good qualities and the rejection of the bad from every quarter of the earth. We b elieve in careful restrictions on immi- grafton. We believe in an embargo on the poverty. stricken, verInin ridden, oil colored, wage-beating, vicious, anarchistic foreigner, but to the clean, intelligent. man who comes from another continent and seeks to adopt our insti- tutions and hug our flag to his heart, why should We not eX- tend the glad hand?
 Tombstone, Is perhaps the most cosmopolitan city in the west, vet every element and every individual is all Ameri- can.
 The Englishman with his stiff and sturdy way says Ole son, IT! fight ye every way, but We will clasp hand, on the flag" and the solid German over his lager as he huns Der Wacht am Rhine, says, "I love the FatherlanC but l love America better. the bronzed son of Italy, anC every other land is the sam, way, and that amalgamatiol of all that is good and rejec- ton of all that is bad makes real country, and in no othe city in the west, perhaps, ar these elements So completel congealed as in the city Tombstone.
