Now that we do know it, we can
not but revise our opinion of the char

powerful American. Without denying
his genuine service to the people-for

must consider him moved not by legi-

lished in The Albany Herald last Mon
day for his action in summarily dis
missing the jury commissioners of
DOugherty county.
Judge Park addressed letter to the
editor of The Herald today, in which
he evidently takes cognizance of the at
tack made upon an official act Of the
court and which may have a very sig
nificant meaning. In his letter written
at sylvester, he says:

an amendment which begged the whole

messenger should appoint the pages
for the first Twenty-Five days, and that
the senate might thereafter provide foT

after in the hands of the president Of

TOMBSTONERS SAY
TREATMENT UNFAIR
Would Like to See Grand
Canyon, but No Ex-
cIlrSiOn Rates

Tombstone, Ariz., July 29.-While all
the railroads are boosting the main idea
''see America first" the one big fact
remains that there are seven equities in
the great state of Arizona. the inhabi-
tants OF which are not permitted the en-
JOyment OF excursion rates to the Grand
Canyon, one of the seven wonder sights
OF the world. It Is said the Santa Fe
people say they are willing to put in
such rates, and that the Ell Paso &
Southwestern people say the same thing
and that leaves the matter up to the
Southern Pacific. IF the annual sum-
mer rates to the coast gave the people
the choice Of going and returning routes
as other parts OF the country get. it IS
claimed hundreds of people would an
nually 90 to the Grand Canyon who are
now barred. From this part of the
state they could go by way of Phoenix
and Ash Fork and make the side trip
to the canyon, then continuing on to the
coast and returning over the Southern
Pacific all the way to Benson.
A. Wentworth, for years mayor of
Tombstone, and whose name became
famous in the state because of a vow
alleged to have been taken wears ago
that ne would never cut off his hair
until Bryan was elected president, has
gone to the coast for couple of months
stay.
County attorney W G. Gilmore is back
from months visit to the coast. His
family viii remain in California until
fall
County assessor Edwin Hughes has
lett for the coast where he viii join his
family on 80 day vacation.
Under new law Tombstone will have
an express messenger to carry its ex-
press matter from Fairbanks to Tomb
stone. Fear is expressed that this law.
together with the parcels post, will be
the means OF shutting the express com.
pany out of Tombstone.
