THE IMPENDING STRIKE.

The mine owners and the coal min
ers appear to be deceiving themselves
as well az the public In regard to
the impending coal strike April /.
Each side processes to believe that the
other will abandon Its position before
the date Of the strike and accede to
the terms offered It. But so far as
can be judged on the surface. there
are no indications OF weakness or
surrender IN the part OF either, and
70 an outsider 1t appears certain that
the strike will occur at the time set,
unless In the meantime public senti-
ment Is brought to bear upon the dis
putants with sufficient force to com
pei a peacable settlement of their DIFF
ferences by arbitration O otherwise.

Al letter from the pen OF Judge
Long. published In today's Optic, tells
Of an effort that Is being made by
the people OF Ration to induce the pub
lie to use the Spanish pronunciation
when speaking Of the city. OF course
nearly everyone knows that IN the
Spanish "a IL sounded nearly as In
the English "arm.' and 20" Is sound
ed as In ".old." Still any ear Ear de-
tect the difference when a son Of
CASTLE p%rouounces the word Ration
and n born to the English language
attempts to initiate him. The Amer
icar Ia apt to be charged with affecta.
tion by those who hear him.
There can be no question but the
Spanish pronunciation OF Ration" ia
more euphonious than the English.
and for that matter the Spanish
language Ia more euphonious anyway
than the English. While Ration can
be pronounced very nearly as the
Spanish pronounce It by the use OF
English vowel sounds. the difficulty
seems to be that the first syllable
appeals to the average American MS
the good old English rat. rat, and he
says rat accordingly. And with all
Difference and respect to the good
people who are trying To induce hin
to say r-a.h, he is likely to continue Il
say rat.
AT least that Is the experience Of
other towns having Spanish names
that do not readily accord to Ameri
can standards Of pronunciation. The
am are Anglicized In short order
Take Albuquerque, for instance. 4
few years * there was a struggle
to induce people to make use Of tn,
Spanish pronunciation. which a
nearly as In can be expressed In Eng
lish characters would be pronounced
