 Williams College and was graduated in 1870. The next two years he spent in a course at Columbia law school.
 After graduating from the latter in
 stitution he entered upon a, career of
 journalism. His first position was that
 Of assistant editor on a New York
 daily newspaper, which he left at the end of four years to become editor
 and part owner of a newspaper in Syracuse. In 1885 he left Syracuse and became Washington correspond ent and in this work he continued for the next ten years. He<eariy became interested in civil service reform and for time edited a magazine in favor of the movement This attracted the attention of President Roosevelt, who in 1905 appointed Mir Leupp commis- sioner of Indian affairs. He had prev iously had some experience in the

BISBEE MINER PRESENTS INSULT.

The following letter written by 6 Bisbee miner to the Arizona Repub- Iican at Phoenix is self-explanatory. It has reference to an interview with ". B. Cleary (Windy BilD in week ly paper published at Phoenix during the territorial fair. What the miner says of Bisbee and the labor conditions there is known to be true by all who have been acquainted with the Warren mining district in the past Present conditions in Bisbee are much better than they have been before, owing to +* . vast improvement of the sanitary s. .:.,S,z:.,.2z of the entire district. The sr,<r 10 the Republican follows:
 Risbee, Ariz.. Dec. 25. To the Editor of The Republican,:
 picked up Bisbee paper the oth- CT day and read a long article copied from a Phoenix paper about the de - 2ble conditions obtaining in Bis tsss,, F the peonage of the miners of this district by the Copper Queen company.
 We'll, MT Editor. have been work ing in the mines of Arizona for the last twenty years, most of the time up around Prescott. I came here about six months ago and went to work in the Gardiner Hopper Queen) mine and have been a close observer of conditions. And let me say, never worked in a camp where miners were better paid or better treated than in Bisbee.
 A few pinheaded agitators tried to run the camp and failed and now they feel sore. But if you had walked through the streets, went into the churches and homes of Bisbee to- day and yesterday as l did you would know that the writer of that article about the peonage of the miners of Bisbee simply lied. A more happy, contented and prosperous people would be hard to find.
 Pye talked and discussed the labor question with hundreds of miners, men who have mined all over the world, and all say the Copper Queen is the best, the squarest company they ever worked for. So this talk of peonage is not only foolish but an insult to the men of this district.
 Hoping you can find room in my old favorite, the Arizona Republican for this l am, yours truly.
 WALTER HOWELL.
