The Tombstone Epitaph announces its Sunday edition published by Giragi Brothers. Subscriptions are available in advance with details provided for readers.
The piece notes Maj. George H. Kelly a veteran Arizona newspaper man as Democratic governor candidate and discusses cross party reactions. It argues he lacks ambition for politics yet would merit the governorship and could steer Arizona without pursuing national issues.
A rambling reflection on spring as a time of change for newspaper editors. The piece contrasts bygone copy flow with modern deadlines and rules while musing on the challenges of running a paper and fielding spring poets and advisors.
John Swinton’s banquet tirade denounces the U S press as a tool of wealth and power. He claims journalists accept salaries to suppress truth, frame narratives for patrons, and act as puppets behind the scenes. He describes reporters as intellectual prostitutes serving mammon.
The Northern Arizona Leader quits after seven years of trouble and decline. Founder Craig Pottinger enticed Democrats around Flagstaff to buy the paper but failed to sustain it. Following George Babbitt’s death, the estate sold to Charles Thomas, whose weak writing failed to revive the publication as Coconino Sun remains the established weekly.
The article argues for a Buy at Home policy in Arizona, praising Avia's fertile farmland and urging local farmers to grow vegetables and fruit locally. It contends a ready market would yield fair profits, boost farming, employment, and overall state prosperity for farmers, merchants, bankers, and businesses.
The article criticizes General Daugherty for talking more than acting as attorney general. It notes his high publicity, photo with Jack Dempsey, and lack of decisive action against war profiteers. Republican representatives press him for results while he remains controversial in Congress. Two Kansas women send him knitting needles.
Local voices urge residents to buy Arizona goods and keep dollars in Tombstone. They emphasize that most household needs can be met by area merchants, with "Trade at Home Week" spreading statewide through the Arizona Industrial Congress and chambers of commerce.
Citizens in a Kansas town honored their editor after his death with a bouquet from locals, a church quartet, and a minister’s talk. Husky pallbearers carried the editor to a model 1921 sedan as a parade formed behind the car before the town returned home, satisfied they had brightened his life posthumously.
Prescott Courier notes the Nogales Herald once Republican now leaning independent has nominated Col. John C. Greenway nine times and now uses Jack as a name. The paper still supports Governor Campbell to save Arizona, while endorsing Democrats appears unlikely to gain traction.
