Add Little Stories of
 the Town

"Cyclone' Bill blew into town the other day, on his way to Fl Paso.
 His name is William Beck. He prob ably has travelled a long way now on just "Cyclone" Bill
 He wears a hat that looks like the top of a big 'thunderhead' cloud with the mezzanine floor of the Adams hotel running around it for brim. sum mer visitors at Prescott-where Bill holds forth seeing his big hat looming up over the crest of hill have been known to mistake it for an oncomins thunderstorm.
 Some Little Details
 In designing his crop of whiskers, Buffalo Bill copied his model from Cyclone" Bilrs idea of how nous tache and goatee should be trained. To help him navigate with his injured leg-hurt in an Indian fight Bill carries cane that's so heavy it pushed our desk over on us when Bill leaned the stick up against it. The in- cident led Bill to confide to us that once when he was up in the northern part Of the state hobbling over the boulders he was suddenly confronted by a rattler who had Cyclones" obituary written on the tip of his fangs. Bill took a swing at him with this cane. He missed the snake, but when the cane hit the ground the Grand Canyon resulted. The rattler. we suppose, died of surprise.
 No Prophet A-TalI
 We'll says Bill when he got the stump of his cigar lit, after letting four matches die in his fingers while he spun a yarn, while I'm not a betting man, I'm willing to bet that there's durned few old timers left who can say what I can say"
 And what's that?''
 Ever since they put the ban on liquor in this state I haven't touched a drop. Not a drop- You know some Of my old friends used to tell me that was something of a prophet. about this prohibition. But I says, Prophet nothing. All have is sense enough to get off the track when I hear a train coming. And years ago, son, I could hear this prohibition train a rumbling in the distance
 Did He Go?
 Bill told of how he handed jolt to d lawyer he had employed years ago.
 "I had hired him to take care of some legal matters for me while I was away. When I same back he hadn't handled them. saying he had been busy, but told me to go on up to the county seat and he'd follow the next day. I went up there. chewed the rag with the boys a couple of days and no lawyer showed up. I wired him and got TO reply. l came back to the next town and got hold of a telephone and when I got him on the wire I says, Mister. wili you please tell me whether or not you are coming up here to handle this business as you said you would. and if you can't tell me right now will you please go to hello' And with that, l hung up and hired another lawyer.

 was, time a greater of public sympathy with the strikers than there would be now, partly because their grievances recognized genuine and partly because of the railroads long continued policy of disregard of the comfort and convenience of the public. There was then relation between the government and the railroads. The quarrel was private one.
 Now whether the under government administration whether they returned their private under such strict government super vision will be exercised then, the people consti- tuting the government will strike O a large extent, is directed against themselves Their sympathzers in the absence of any other circum- stances would be the side of the government.
 We do not think they would permit a surrender to the demands of the strikers that they would endorse compromise. On the contrary. believe they would submit to any degree of inconvenience loss that the sovereignty of all the people any part of the people might be maintained.
 It will not, of course, be contended that the strikers will have the right determine whether they shall work But they will not be allowed interfere with the operation of the roads by others any conspiracy to embar- the country

Today, fellow heathlZon1anS, IS Abe Lincoln's birthday.
 That third word up there is a biped That's q cross between an AriZonian and a heather. Any state that is pop ulated by critters that don't zee fit to knock off on the birth anniversary of Abe Lincoln doesn't measure Up to standard.
 Which reminds us of Ring Lardner's Abe Lincoln story. You remember how Lardner fell into a barber shop in the south, and while the barber was getting him ready for the torture ring remarked. Well, this is Abe Lincoln's birthday ."Thasso!" exclaimed the barber. How old is he?"
 On the level, folks, wouldn't you give 6, lot to have a man like Lincoln running on the ticket next election?
 Our guess is that Lincoln's first of ficial act would be to tell congress to soak it's head while he conducted the nations business.
 Charlie Roberts political boosters are fond Of comparing him to Abra- ham Lincoln. Well. each has fourteen letters in his name. And by the same line of rasoning, one might leap to President Wilson via his famous Cor infamous) Fourteen Points.
 Further comparisons: Abe was famed as rail splitter. Recalling the galivanting done by political office holders, president senators, and our own governor, they are becoming famed as rail il-roaders.''

INcuRARLY PROGRESSIVE
(Kansas City Star)

The American spirit is incurably progressive. It was through restless adventure that the continent was conouered This heritage of progress has pro- foundy influenced the American character. The average American seeks and accepts the leadership of forward looking men-or men whom he believes are forward looking.
 He doesn't much generally what his leaders program provided he is satisfied that the leader will face issues from the standpoint of gress and of reaction. We leave the practical application of principle to the Worlds Work, in dependent in politics which says:
 General is exponent of the progressive Roosevelt following while Lowden and Harding belong to the regular republican group This group has not election since Mark Hanna managed the Mckinley campaign. The only successful republican politics since that time been Roosevelt republicanism. The republican party is faced only with choosing a candidate. but reuniting split party. They tried to unite on a negative candidate and lost If they cannot unite positive candidate the chance of success ought be little better.
