JOURNALISTIC FRATERNITY.
The last issue of the Arizona Kicker contains the following noble protest against journalistic mud throwing: " We have been offered 25d0l in cash and a barrel of wild plum vinegar to publish the record of the man who runs the weekly further down the street. While there is no doubt in our mind that he is a bigamist, horse thief, barn burner, and Anarchist sympathiser, we certainly know what belongs to decency, and we positively refuse such a bribe. , " There is too much mud throwing among the editors of the West, anyhow. They seem to have forgotten what is due to the position. If one of our doctors kills a patient by some mistake or other, the rest are always ready to swear him clear. If one of the editorial fraternity make a trip the rest are eager to pitch into him. Ifc shouldn't be so. There should be more of the fraternal spiritr-rmore of the pride of profession. Therefore, while we are perfectly satisfied' that the bald-headed, bow-legged, squintieyed old cayote who calls hjmseif the editor of the moribund disbrag eleven doors below ought to be in State prison for life, we are not; going to forget what belongs to the amenities of editorial life."
