The Coconino sun., 1906-05-12

Ablest of the labor leaders, con servative and always seeking to avoid rather than foment tronble between lahor and capital, John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers, has succeeded in reaching an agreement satisfactory to both the miners and operators. A scale has been signed, and the strike in the anthracite regions which threatened to tie up all in- dustries depending on that section for fuel is averted. Perhaps the two letters recently addressed by President Roosevelt to a promi-
 nent operator in the bituminous coal region on the one hand, and to MT. Mitchell on the other, had something to do in bringing about this result; but whatever tn C cause, the people of the whole country may feel thankful that at this time, when many of the labor leaders seem to have gone rabid and are sputtering the acridest logic, wholesome conservatism and saneness of mind have pre- vented a struggle the injurious ef- feet of which on the country would have been well nigh incalculable.

The PeOn Traffic.

The Mexican peon system, which has been a prolific source of in come to those engaged in selling labor to corporations, is up against it. It is said that some of those who have engaged in the business in the past are giving the govern ment pointers as to how it is done. It is the old saying that when thieves fall out, honest men get their dues. This is we'll, as the majority of the criminals housed in the jails of southern Arizona are made up of these contract la bor peons. If they are kept out, the jails will not be so full of crim- inals.

What Caused the Quake.

Geologists who have been at work since the earthquake with the object of finding traces that would establish the cause of the disturb ance, have found in the mountain range west of Redwood City in San Mateo county what appears to be indisputable evidence that the theory of parting mountains along the coast is the correct one. At the summit of the mountains near the village of Woodside there is an immense crevice in the earth the appearance of which would in- dicate that the range had split at the top, the side nearest the ocean falling toward the sea.
 The crevice IS from three to six inches wide and has been followed for a distance of four miles on the crest of the range.

1t Ranks With the Best.

In the Western Publisher for May, Ioo6, appears an article by William D. Eaton, which is rem iniscent of, and tribute to, Cap tain William O. O'Neill, Arizona's s soldier journalist, who died at Fl Caney at the head of troop A of the Rough Riders. In drawing to the close, MT. Eaton pays the fol- lowing compliment to the people and press of Arizona, and the Co., COMING SUN in particular;
 The people of the territory are shrewd readers, with whom poor work would not go far. The pro- portion of highly educated and able men probably runs higher as to the whole population than the case is with any other part of the farther west, and to say that is to say a very great deal, for mountain folk range high up the scale wherever you find them.
 Thus many places in Arizona have newspapers of distinctly supe- rior quality and in some instances decided beauty of dress and print. l think of one as l write-THE CoCoNINo SUN, at Flagstaff. Flag staff is a little city and the SUN is a small paper, but 1t is as well write as any l know of, and much better printed than most pa pers east.
 The compliment to TIE SUN to be thus singled out as a model is appreciated, although it IS but fair to admit that the same might have been said with equal truth of quite a number of Arizona newspapers, and 1t was, perhaps, only fortui- tous circumstance that the name of THE SUN came first to the writer S mind. MT. Eaton himself d o e S things with the pen, as is amply proven by the article from which the above is quoted, and which we will reproduce in the near future, as many of our readers have a warm spot in their hearts flor the memory of brave Bucky" O'Neill,

Down in Douglas, the other day, a coroner's inquest was brought to an abrupt termination by the corpse coming to life again and entering a vigorous protest against any further proceedings. The jus tice of the peace who was conduct ing the inquest was scared almost into fit, and it took eleven drinks of whiskey to restore the court officers to normal condition.-Pros- peCtor.
 Wonder if the whiskey had any thing to do with revivifying the corpse. There are men who would rise from the dead any time, if they saw chance of getting a drink.

It Is to be hoped for our own sake,
as well as for that of the Japanese,
that the demand for japanese exclu-
sion viii not reach the limits that some
fear it will. Washington hears that
the California delegation in congress
Will unite in insisting that the Japs be
prohibited from coming into the coun-
try the same as are the Chinese. and
the Washington Post says there is no
doubt that organized labor through
out the entire country, north, south,
east and west, Will be clamorous for
the bill"
It is pretty hard to believe that re-
spectacle organized labor will do
anything so ridiculous as that
1T is the biggest sort of a question"
continues the Post. "and we very
much doubt If California can be rea-
soned into or persuaded into making
the Jap a partner in her civilization"
The Jap would certainly be a very
minor partner in such an arrangement
We are receiving only 1900 Japs a
years, only a part of whom remain in
California, while in the last sixty days
1900 eastern colonists have landed In
Los Angeles alone. The Jap cannot
cut much of a figure in a crowd like
that.
But the Post sees in the japanese
question a serious problem for the
coming congress to deal with Thirty
years ago. it says, the vote of Cali
fornia determined a presidential cleo
ton. and political parties have very
good memories as to election returns
The Sixueth congress will have a
pronounced Republican majority in
the house Of representatives and an
Overwhelming Republican majority in
the senate. What will that congress
do with this practically unanimous de-
mand of the coast? It is unfortunate
that the question is mixed up witk
politics.
Japan is not going to be very meek
IN her treatment Of the discussion. OF
that We may be sure. She has just
