A GLOOMY SABBATH
Rags Will Spend It in Meditation and
 Honest Prayer.

Hal Clark, colored, better known by the more familiar and ende lring name of Rags, is up against it agi.In. Hal is hardworking bootblack and mes.ns to be a good citizen, but like Happy Hooligan, his intentions are being con- tinually misconstrued by the officers. He has been in court half a dozen times. more or less, always on a mis- demeanor charge, and always in de- fense of justice, according to his state ment of the case. His latest escapade, also according to his statement of the case. appears to be a trivial matter and when he came into court he said he supposed he would be put away for a few days just because that was his usual luck. But after he had been giv- en a hearing and the court said he would continue the case till Monday, to consult with the district attorney and determine whether or not it was a penitentiary offense, Rags face as- sumed a solemnity it never wore be- fore. Ed Whinnen arrived here recent ly from Congress, where he has been working, and of course when he got to the metropolis he had to celebrate little. He got more elixir under his DGil lIl1H ne IedlIy SHOulO nANC OOIe, and laid down to sleep near the Santa Fe depot. When he awoke. his scarf pin, a gold quartz horseshoe, valued at twelve dollars, was gone from his necktie. He remembered that he had seen Rags in the vicinity when he went to sleep and suspicion at once fell up- on the black HoOliSan. The pin was soon after recovered at a pawnbrOker's establishment, where it had been sold by Rags for g.. Then Rags was arrest ed. He said he didn't need any law yer and couldn't get one if he did need him, so the trial was not delayed. Hal said he had met the complainant and talked with him previous to his going to sleep. In fact he had reused him up and told him to get up or he would be arrested. Later when he passed by the man was gone and he found the scarf pin in the grass where the man had been lying. He claimed it by right of discovery and pawned it as soon as he could to avoid any unpleas- ant complications should he be found with it in his possession, though he insisted that he did not know the own CT Of the pin and that he was never

A PHOENIX MELON GROWER
Suggests the Advisability of a North
 Side Association.

J. K. Wheat, horse trainer by pro- side with cantaloupes and watcrmelorS and says he has the finest favored melons in the world. That is a pretty bold statement for melons gre all good and the best in the world suggests something almost too good for ordin- ary use. However. there is no doubt but that MT. Wheat's fruit is good enough for anybody.
 Incidentally MT. Wheat says he thinks the melon growers in the wei nifty of Phoenix are overlooking their opportunities by not organizing an as- sociation similar to the Mesa Melon Growers association, then plant a larger acreage and get in un the car loaG shipment business. Such an as sociation formerly existed here though most of its attention was paid to wa termelons. However, it seemed to the outsider to be a successful business venture and there is some wonder why it was ever abandoned.
 Those interested can no doubt learn the cause by inquiring of the officers of the former association and also learn whether or not it would be to their advantage to organize for obera- tion next year. But in any event the melon growers of the south side seem to be making a success of it and this season not only shipped crarloads EUt train loads of melons.

 Whinnen remembered seeing Rags, but denied any conversation with him. The property was proved and turned over to the complainant and Rags was found guilty of having disposed of something which he knew did not be- long to him. But there was a question whether he had taken it off the mans person or not, whereby hangs the doubt concerning the crime being fel- onious. The case was continued until Monday, either for further action or sentence as may then seem proper to Justice Robertson.

Japanese Needed for Solution OF the

almost wholly from the somewhat limited
class In this country who sympathize with
Russia for the childish reason that English
sympathy goes out to Japan. The great body
Of the American people admire the Japanese
for their pluck. energy and enterprise. and are
disposed to welcome them as citizens with
In spite OF the declaration Of the American
Federation of Labor against japanese immi-
grafton, II the Japanese are willing to come
to this country to accept places as domestic
servants for heavens sake let them come
not BY hundreds but by thousands Instead
of enacting laws to exclude them, we should
pass measures to encourage them to come:
The wages of household servants have In
creased to q prohibitory point, as regards
thousands OF families where help ls actually
needed. 1t Is pretty safe proposition that
one-half of those employed as servants to-
day in this country are more or less incom-
petent-generally more.

abiding people. They do not crowd our aims

A Covenant Between Employers and EN-.
pl0yed.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUs-SiY: May
call attention to an omission In your report
OF the remarks Of Mr.. c. W. Post OF Battle
Creek at the Citizens Industrial Association
yesterday? The nub of what he had to tell
his hearers was that by the terms of the
understanding established In that town the
incoming manufacturer must guarantee that
he will always pay the highest rate of wages
and never resort to lockouts-the manufac-
turers now there having already given such
guarantees. In consideration of this the
workingmen agree to refrain from strikes.
and pledge themselveS to restrain industrial
disorder, while the Citizens Alliance, made
up of business men Of all classes and COM
prising all merchants. manufacturers. pro-
fessional men. DC. In Battle Creek. agree
to cooperate with and sustain these two
parties. the manufacturers and the working
men, In the faithful observance and enforce
ment Of their mutual covenants.
To this understanding the union working
men as we'll as the non-union are pied ged by
their individual signatures. This latter Is
regarded as the significant feature OF the
scheme II is not one-sded affair. but some
thing which all have entered into and are
bound by. As such IL see ms to promise more
for the promotion of industrial peace than
any other plan that has so far been attempted.

Cuban and American Towns.

Last Tuesday Sir WILLIAM VAN
HORNE, speaking in Havana of the re-
ports Of bad sanitary conditions in Cuba,
said that he had mot seen Cuban town
or city which did not compare favor
ably with any American town or city
in cleanliness"
If nsome American whose own city is not
half as clean as the dirtiest city in Cubs
sees mud puddle In Cuban thorough
fare, public attention is promptly called
to Cubas violation of the sanitary laws
imposed during the American rule, and
the critic proceeds to unearth the Platt
amendment and sound warning.
AS for the reported standing puddles
in the streets Of Santiago, probably more
such puddles may be found on Broadway,
between the City Hall and Forty-second
street, than could be found in the whole
of Santiago. Much the larger part Of
that city stands on a hillside little
sleeper than Beacon Hill in Boston, and
so it finds a natural drainage.
Santiago is the only city in Cuba in
which the intervening Government in
stalled or is supposed TO have installed
o sewer system. The reputation of our
great insular administrator, DR.. LEON
ARD WooD, is built, primarily, on his
Santiago sewer system, which con-
verted that centre Of pestilence into
health resort, In fact, however, the
Wood sewer system of Santiago con-
sists Of a limited system Of never used
sewer pipes. A sewer system depends on
a water system for flushing purposes,
and Santiago has no water system,
except an Insignificant affair Of Spanish
installation in earlier days.
There may have been in Cuba one or
two cases of yellow fever, or smallpox,
or measles. or rheumatism; but that is
no reason for any panic in this country,
or any ground for charging the Cuban
Government with indifference to proper
sanitation. The Cuban 'eath rate is
much below that Of Porto Rico, and
until we are ready TO howl down our
own administration ia the forgotten
island" because Of tbe widespread preva-
lenoe of anemia apd other ills we shall
do we'll to suppress filings at Cuba.

The Open shop.

In his address to the convention OF en-
ployers on Tuesday MIR. d. M. FAhhY
referred to a spontaneous movement
which has arisen in protest against the
un-American union shop policy adopted
by labor unionism. He expressed MS
belief that within year thousand
establishments have abandoned the
union shop policy and have opened
their doors to the non-union workman.
Mr.. PARRY may be sometimes given 10
exageeration and overstatement as
result Of his natural intensity, but IT Is
probable that he ia quite within bounds
In this assertion. 1t ia also probable
that the movement will continue and
many other shops be added to that
group.
Unionism makes the mistake OF as
suming that the protest OF employers
against a policy Of which 1t has seen mt
to approve is manifestation OF dis
position to stamp out organized labor.
Mr.. GoMPKRs, In his report to the recent
labor convention In San Francisco, de-
clared that in many cities employers,
antagonistic to labor, have formed them
selves into so-called citizens alliances,
and have undertaken to propagate the
policy Of the destruction Of organized
labor their first effort being directed
to what they are pleased to term the
open shop, and to attack the union
shop under the false assertion that 1T is
a closed shop
He also spoke Of the open shop cant
and hypocrisy aimed at organized labor,
with the full knowledge that it, and it
alone, stands between the toilers and the
greed and avarice that would force down
labor to a bare subsistence, lengthen
the hours of daily toll, and make the
home wretched and desolate.
Nowhere in the history OF American
industrialism, and nowhere in the state
mcnts Of those toward whom Mr.. Com
pERs is so inimical, is there ground for
such assertions. He forgets that the
stanch adherents Of the policy which he
calls the union shop number only small
fraction Of Americas toilers, and that
there are millions Of them not affiliated
In any way with his organization who
-are not reduced TO sbare subsistence,
and whose homes are far from "wretched
and desolate.'
Labor organization, as We have re-
peatedly said. is desirable and perhaps
a necessary institution in the industrial
world Of to-day; but its existence will
depend primarily on the ability of its
leaders to recognize basic and essential
principles Of right. The open shop, the
Freedom Of the individual to determine
for himself the conditions under which
he will labor or will employ labor, is one
of those principles, and unionism will do
most wisely to recognize 1t. The open
shop Is the American shop, and unionism
can find many better uses for its energies
than in struggle against the inevitable.
It's present attitude will cost it the friend
ship and the help Of those who can con-
tribute most toward it's fullest and best
development.

Fidelity to the policy Of protection for
American industries does not at all involve
a stubborn adherence TO any specific oom-
bination Of tariff rates. Our present system
was established for the conservation OF our
industrial interests, and not simply out Of
reverence for any particular form in which
that system may be expressed. The ath-
tude Of Senator HALE and those who share
his views Is one Of admission that there are
barnacles on the bottom OF our national
craft, but it is accompanied by an emphatic
protest against their removal. This Is to
get near the swamps Of old fogyism. even
il not to be mired in them. Those who
believe that the tariff is an instrument to be
used, and not fetch to be worshipped,
will respond to the call II the President
sounds tocsin for tariff adjustment to the
industrial conditions of the present day
