and would-be community wrecker.
 IL has the blessing of that spirit among it's citizenry to carefully watch for and quietly put down any influence which would betray it's welfare
 Property values in Tombstone have not decreased. NOT ONE CENT. Every available residence houses a contented family. with others ready to join our ranks as soon as suitable housing facilities are prepared. In recognition of this fact. Tombstone is about to undergo an era of building and re- pairing. plans for which are under way NOW
 With the certain resumption of mining activities in the southwest, and the reopening of the reduction plants to handle ores from this dis trict. and q stabilized silver market, Tombstone's future welfare is guar anteed.
 Added to this guarantee Of loncey- ity is the iaes,imable loyalty of her true citizens.
 Having withstood past trials and ;ribulations, and emerging from those strenuous times in such splendid condition. Tombstone. as city. has everything to be thankful for, and now. nothing to regret We cau capitalize the famous phrase of John Paul Jones We Have Just Begun to Fight The slogan that 1927 Rewards Fighters" has in spirit been thoroughly absorbed by the City of Tombstone, and will be carried inn the year 1922, and on.
 To the chronic pessimist who is not making his living here ly any special request. and who is free to move elsewhere whenever he shall so elect. we quote two lines from th" zen of Shakespeare
 How sharper than serpens's
 tooth it IS
 To have a thankless child!"
 Indeed We have cause for thanks giving, so let us join our city with our state and our nation. in humble recognition and heartfelt thankful ness to Him From Whom All Blessings Flow"

INDEPENDENT MAN INTERVIEWS
PRISONERS AT COUNTY JAIL

"It's this way" Hatton explained.
II am an l. w. w. and a farm labor
er. The I. w. WIS have taken a big
job and intend to rid the country of
the highjackers who prey upon us.
We have to go armed, or we are not
safe. There are any number Of high
jackers who are now in North Da-
kota. They started in robbing the L.
w. WIS in Kansas and have followed
them north. They steal I. w. w.
cards from their victims and frequent
ly pass for members of our organiza-
ton. They gain the confidence of
the members and learn which ones
are armed and which are not, then
stick us up at every opportunity. I
claim the I. w. WIS are doing more
to rid the country Of the highjackers
than the officers Of the law possibly
can. We have caught any number
Of them and have practically rid South
Dakota of the highjackers." Hatton
showed the writer a list which scores
of I. w. WIS are carrying, names
and descriptions of highjackers who
are wanted.

The editor of the Independent spent
AN hour behind the bars of the Ward
County Jail Wednesday morning, in
terviewing several of the 27 prison.
ers who have been incarcerated on
various charges. Perhaps some of
our readers may suggest that an hour
was hardly long enough sentence.
Pailor Mccartney surely has his hands
full, for the Jail is filled to capacity
with the S. r. o. sign hanging out
side the door.
Behind the bars these birds are
docile enough, but practically every
one of them is a desperate gun man
whom most anybody would rather not
meet in the alley after dark. In
cluded in the lot are three alleged
murderers, three alleged stick-up
artists captured at Des Laos, a couple
Of yeggmen, caught red handed after
robbing the Standard Oil filling
station and the rest are just plain
/. w. w. gunmen, fellows caught
with their red cards and young can
non and held for carrying concealed
weapons. A couple of young fel-
lows were in for operating whis-
key still, presumably for their own
benefit and to furnish joy water to
others for a stipulated price. We
saw "Dago Frank" Rose, who is serv-
ing four months sentence. He
looks we'll fed but we'll venture q
guess that he'd like to be out where
he can cook up one of his famous Mul-
ligan stews and mix up little home
brew for himself and few friends.
He declares that when he gets out,
he's going right back to his old home
on the Isle Of Malta, near Italy.
No one is guilty of anything, &C.
cording to their own tales. The I.
w. WIS were all carrying concealed
weapons to protect themselves from
the highjackers. who make a practice
Of riding the trains and taking away
what money the l. w. WIS earn in
the harvest fields The chances are
that some Of them may be telling
the truth. We talked with Bob Hat.
ton, an intelligent young I. w. w.
who was thrown in Jail q minute and
z half after he had bought q AS six
shooter from "Shorty" Haskell.

Record Room for War Exhibits

Mrs. j. c. Blaisdell, chairman Of
the Ward county war exhibit COM
mittee, appeared before the county
commissioners Wednesday morning
seeking the cooperation Of the board
in finding a place to store the exhibits
which will be gathered during the
coming year. Twenty-six counties Of
the state have already taken steps to
provide permanent record rooms. The
Ward county court house has no place
but it is possible room may be Sc
cured in the Federal building. Mrs.
Blaisdell asked that in the event that
a new court house is ever built, room
be set aside to keep these valuable
records for our posterity.

COST OF LIVING
BEARS HARD ON
u. S. ADMIRAL

Constantinople-T establish
ment of Admiral Mark L. Bristol,
The United States high commission
ec here, which is still referred to
as the American embassy" has
just missed being closed as a result
of the cost of living and an effort
by the state department to intro
duce economies.
Admiral Bristol has had an extra
allowance of SIPS a month and
SIS 5000 year for the maintenance
of the embassy" The former sum
had to cover the cost of social en-
tertainments and the latter paid
for clerk hire, servants, messen-
gers, telephones, cabling, repairs
and other expenses connected with
a large office and residence. Some
times Admiral Bristol has had to
use his salary to meet his bills.
Recently the $4,000 was. reduced
by the state department to $4,000
/ 1t seemed that the closing of the
embassy" was the only solution.
Many devices were suggested for
increasing the embassy income
so 1t might keep open. One jocaiar
suggestion was that charity ben
eft be held
After a good deal OF correspon-
dence with the state department,
showing that the prewar $4,000
had lost much OF its value due to
the high cost of living here. an in
crease of 5000 was allowed and
the embassy is still open

ACCIDENTS COST
BILLION DOLLARS
IN q. S. EACH YEAR

Washington.-M than one bill
lion dollars a year is the toll exact
ed by industrial accidents in the
United Statest
That's the estimate of Sidney J..
Williams, secretary of the National
Safety Council.
Williams bases his findings on a
thorough investigation of industrial
accidents in 1919.
There were 100000 industrial
accidents in that year.
The fatal accidents, Williams esti-
mates. resulted in the loss of 5000
working days each, making a total
of 1873 100000 working days.
Temporary disabilities are esti-
mated to have caused the loss OF
100000 days.
Permanent disabilities caused
loss of lis, 100000 working days.
That makes a total of 296, 100000
working days-the total time toll OF
1919 industrial accidents.
Williams estimates the average
daily wage if the workmen injured
at "a. That gives those $4,000, GOO
lost days a wage value of 1,184 :
600. 600.
But all that isn't lost. The 23,00C
, men who lost their lives didn't have
to pay for food and lodging. Thai
was saved" That represents 1881, :
| 100000.
Subtracting that leaves a total o.
1853 900 600 wage loss.
Besides that, accidents led to ex
pense in doctor and hospital bills
These amounted to s161 100000.
That gives a total of $1,014 900,
I 600 as the cost of 1919 industrial
accidents.

WORLD FUTURE
LOOKS DARK TO
EASTERN EYES

Budapest-The future of the
world is CeciG~dly dark for the
eastern hemisphere, says Prof.
Henry Marczah, the famous Hunga-
rian historian and philosopher. He
told the correspondent that the
balance of financial, economic and
labor superiority had shifted to
America for years TO come.
"A few years and Russia will be
as powerful as it was before the
war" he asserted. THE fate Of
Russia will decide the fate of
Europe and perhaps that of the
whole world as we'll The Ger
mans, hated by the French and
mistrusted by the other big pow
ers, will find their natural ally IN
Russia And if the difference be-
tween America and Japan becomes
aggravated. a formidable alliance
of Japan, Russia and Germany Will
soon make the world realize that
lasting peace never was farther OIL
the horizon of humanity than in
ouor days.
The greatest power in the world
today is still Great Britain But IN
the history OF the world old ma
tions fall and new nations rise to
power. England IS now attempt
ing to solve the problem which the
Roman empire could not solve
the holding together of half of the
world under one flag.
IF the solution is efficient and
india is pacifed, Ireland reconcil-
ed. England's hegemonY is secure
for the next century; ig not the
hegemony passes to the younger
branch of the Anglo axons: the
United States"
