The Fighting Editor

The fighting editor is no joke in Paris
There, if paper calls man liar or a
thief, the man takes it seriously, and
visiting the Office, he demands a retrac-
ton or a fight. 1t is the fighting editor
who receives him. The fighting editor
sits in a Louis Seize study, smoking a
cigarette and reading new novel with
yellow cover He is faultlessly
dressed in deep black the duelist' color
The ribbon of the Legion of Honor is in
his bnttohhole., .haHis brilliant eyes and
clear skin proclaim his perfect condi-
ton. His alert supple carriage shows
his military training. The fighting
editor never writes a line, but is re-
sponsible personally for every word in
the paper every day. On plain out
spoken sheet like LIE MAtin, which
keeps him pretty busy, his salary is
very large $40 week or so. A con-
sentative journal like LIE Temps, having
little use for fighting editor, pays the
man no more than $40 Exchange.

How Tonopah Was Discovered

Various references tn the discovery of
Tonopah by James L. Butler, better
known as Jim" are Inclined to give
the credit for this historical find to the
burro that accompanied the veteran
prospector much in the same way that
the Idaho Courts rendered the "iackass"
decision. This assumption of knowl-
edge is serious defamation of Buffers
!. character. and loss of rights which
should be indisputable. The facts of
the case are well established by jim
Butler; who wrote story that was in
corporated in the annual report of the
Surveyor General of Nevada, which
today stands as the only authentic
account of the borniDg of Tonapah.
After reciting the fact that he had
been influenced by reports of Indians to

explains that he was prevented by other
business matters until the summer Of
