NEW BOOK ON TOMBSTONE

Tombstone. An 1liad of the
Southwest. by Walter Noble
Burns, is the latest book dealing
with the historic mining camp
during the heyday of its wild.
ness, is off the press. Copies of
the book have already been re
ceived here, says the Tombstone
Epitaph.
Burns story begins with the
memorable discovery of silver
made by Schieffelin, and tells
much about the characters OF
old Tom bstone and the thrilling
! adventures which they had. The
last chapter of the book is given
over to a brief description OF
Tombstone as it is today. Elk
cerpts are taken from the col
umns of the city's local news
paper.
Those who have read the mar.
rative of Tombstone as written
by Burns, state that it is one OF
the most interesting works OF
the year. It is said to show the
results of painstaking investiga
ton into what happened in the
old town during the 8O's and
COS. The tale is active, absorb
ing and colorful, and after hav
ing been read does not give the
usual erroneous impression thai
Tombstone of today is. a ghos'
town" of dilapidated old adobe
shacks, but creates desire or
the part of the reader to visit
the interesting relics of a towr
that once held the attention ol
the entire civilized world. The
story is regarded generally as
an additional piece of publicity
of considerable value to the blt
town in Cochise county, where
still may be seen that almost un
believably small play house
where once appeared leading
actors of the country.
10 the preface to his book, Mr.
Burns generously acknowledge:
assistance rendered by people o
Tombstone. Among those whom
be mentions are the following
William Lu1ley, G. L. Cummins
Porter Mcdonald. Mr.. and Mrs
J. H. Macia, James Marrs, A. H

The romance of the range
rider and the thunderiug herd
has not faded into the realm of
historical novels. 1t will be
with US for a long time to come;
it is, in fact, more in evidence
today than it has been for many
years.
The livestock industry of the
West has undergone a great re
vival; the cattle ranges again
are stocked; the ranch houses
are places of great activity; and
spirits are high in the grazing
country. The railroads, with
and without the insistance of
the interstate commerce com.
mission, have reduced rates
for the movement of cattle. An
increase in rainfall has made
vastareas into profitable graz
ing land. Modern methods have
superseded the old haphazard
systems. Wells. windmills and
miles of pipe line now assure
plentiful supplies of water.
The Southwest has many hun
dreds of thousands of square
miles of land that are unfit for
cultivation but which does afford
|good grazing. The ranching
business seems to be distinctly
on the boom. More power te

of adding profits to their Overlooking

didn't I behave on the last ship?"
They are sunk this deep in bourgeois

U have tried to save my money for
nine years. But how can we save
if we have nothing to save? 1t is a
human impossibility. AS to good be-
havior, in this sense of the word. it
means to submit meekly to all the

McADOO Quits"
BY VIM. PICKENs.

That's very interesting: to have a
fellow declining" something which
nobody is going to offer him. So Nc
Adoo decides not to be nominated on
the democratic ticket for president of
the United States-and nobody has
even yet decided that he ever could
be nominated
And yet he decides to quit" That
is like the man who shouts back: 81
resign!" after he has been emphatical-
ly told: "You're firedl" Perhaps
later we may hear that Cole L. Blease,
of South Carolina, has decided not to
be president of France.
But McAdoo "withdraws." Well,
everything means something else;
nothing is absolutely meaningless
not even in the words and deeds of an
ordinary politician. And so, there is
some meaning in this action and these
queer words of McAdoo. 1t means
that the McAdoo crowd have decided
on that course as about the only way
in which they could hurt the chances
of Governor Alfred Smith of New
York. They mean to hint: "Now,
since McAdoo has declined something
which he cannot get-it's up to you,
Governor Smith, to decline something
which you have at least some chance
to get" McAdoo withdraws for
party harmony" That is supposed
to hint that if Smith stays in the race,
he will be responsible for all the
party disharmony-as if there was
ever any real harmony Between north
ern and southern democrats, since the
days of Stephen A. Douglas. They
have compromised and pulled together
at times-like those who compound
