CHINESE EXCLUSION
DISCUSSED IN
MEXICO
NEW GOVERNMENT MAY
PUT BARS ON CELESTIALS
Proposition Indirect Result of
TOrreOn Massacre and
Trouble incident to Claims of
Pekin for Indemnity
my Morning Journal special Leased WIRE !

'
Mexico City, July l6.--An indirect
result OF the massacre Of Chnesee at
Toreon in the revolution may mean
the exclusion from Mexico of Celes-
tiais. Because of scarcity of labor
FOR the mines and haeiendas Mexico
has encouraged the importation of
Chinese but exactly those arguments
economic and which led to
their exclusion by the United States
are now being freely discussed here.
Ii is not improbable that at the next
session of congress an exclusion bill
viii be presented.
That Mtxico's economic revolution
should be inausurated so soon after
the termination of the revolution
led by Francisco !. Madero was
no surprise to those who have watch
ed the rapid development OF the ma
tional spirit of progress. Neither Ma
dero nor De La Barra have dis
played any pessimism because of the
many strikes.
There is an element which profess
es to see in these risings signs OF an
archy, but the more conservative ex-
press satisfaction. They say the
country requires a new standard of
wages.
In G. majority OF cases the wage
earners have been successful and
throughout the country their influen-
ce has been felt. The government has
lin many cases voluntarily raised the
wages of those employed on public
work.
Ten years ago. twenty-five cents
gold, day, was considered fair
wage for a common day laborer. Grad
ually this was increased to thirty
five or forty cents and even now 1t
will not he necessary to pay more
than fifty or sixty cents day.
The wages paid for skilled labor
are in proportion.
Mexleo's most notorious slum dis
trict is likely to disappear. Colonia
de La Bolsa has retained for centur-
les e most unsavory reputation. 1t
has been the residence of thieves
and murderers and its dirty winding
streets and dilipadted buildings have
long been a blemish on the capital.
The department of Gobernacion has
announced that the work OF straight
ening the streets, improving the sew
age system and beautifying the dis
trict generally win be adopted at once

Dubois, Pa. July l6.-Twenty- one
miners were killed in an explosion in
the shaft of the Cascade co. l and
Coke company's' mine at Skysville.
nine miles from here last night, The
explosion occurred at $50 but il was
after midnight before the extent of
the disaster was known.
All OF the dead but three are for
eigners. The explosion was slight as
evidenced by the small damage done
in the mine, but the deadly damp is
responsible for most of the fatalities.
Three sets of brothers and a faith
er and son are numbered among the
dead. George and John Heck and Nick
PaveIick and his fifteen -year-old son
We're found hv the rescuers locked in
each others arms as though they had
embraced each other in their dying
moments None of the bodies were
mutilated and but few showed burns.
Eleven of the men In one heading
had apparently made ready 60

were recovered. Four bodies were
buried beneath cave-in in a heading
and were not recovered until late.
The state police from Punxcautaw-
ney were called to guard the vicinity
of the shaft and when the bodies were
brought out there was little distress
or excitement.
Neither mine officials nor mine In,
spectors are able 10 assign cause foI
the explosion as there are no suryty-
ors from which to gain an explana-
| tion, but ii Is the general belief that
some of the men drilled into pocket
OF gas. The shaft Is known as a
non-gaseous one and Fire Boss John
Brown reports he was through the
heading where the explosion occurred
but an hour before and found no
rtace of gas
Six men working in another head
ing OF the mine at the time of the ac-
cident knew nothing of the explosion
until the compressed air stopped their
drills and one man was knocked from
his rock drill. They realized some-
thing had happened but did not
know the nature of IL until they met
party of rescuers coming for them.
When the rescue car of the bureau
of mines arrived here their services
were not needed as all the men were
dead.

traditions, have been propounded with
out subjecting its authof to ridicule. 1t
is one thing to subscribe to the principle
of universal disarmament; it is quite
another to show the way by an, act of
national self-sacrihce. Il was not to be
expected that even in the French cham
Der such a motion could pass. The
minister of foreign affairs sought refuge
in the assertion that the time was not
ripe for such momentous step. His
contention, that disarmament had twice
failed at The Hague, was not, however
to, the point
Things declared impossible at the
first Hague conference came close to
realization at the second Hague con-
ference, and may become an actpality at
third conference. In the face of
sneers and doubts, the idea of universal
peace makes headway. In its various
phases of. international arbitration and
the revision of the principles of inter
national law, it forces itself upon the
attention of every great power.

Why Teachers Are Underpaid.

The situation which recently con-
fronted the Philadelphia board of edu-
cation, when it exhausted its list of male
eligibles for the position of teacher, is.
not confined to that city alone 1t is a
frequent experience of boards all over
the country. The increase in private and
public schools and the extension of col
leges has increased the demand. 1t
might be assumed that with this increase
and the consequent annual product of
well-equipped young men and women, the
profession of teaching would gain its
proportionate share in numbers. This
is not the case, with the result that peda-
gogy is not an inviting profession. This
is beginning to attract the attention of
school administrators, who realize that
the compensations they offer are too
small to compete with opportunities in
other professions. A man whoShas spent
years in training as teacher is expected
to serve further term of apprenticeship
at wages less than those paid an un-
skilled laborer in the streets.
This is absurd Magnificent piles of
architecture are monuments to the gen
erous loyalty of our citizens, but some
of the money thus expended might have
been saved to advantage and used for
the proper compensation Of teachers.
Public funds are spent lavishly in the
construction of school buildings and
their equipment for modern education,
and yet a cry for economy is raised
whenever a plea is made for better COM
pensation for the teaching force.
The annual appropriation of money in
the United States for education is sufi-
cient to meet the needs. A greater share
of that appropriation should be used to
compensate the men and women of the
schools.

The Assignment of William Peet.

Every baseball fan in the city will
envy William Peet He has, been as
signed to spend the next three weeks in
Atlanta, where he will niingle with the
men on the Washington nine. He will
talk baseball with them at breakfast,
dinner, and supper, in the street cars,
and at the baseball park He will praise
their virtues and criticise their faults.
He will listen to their stories and their
excuses, and he will probably contribute
out of his own experiences to the
nightly symposium in the hotel lobby.
Altogether, he will live for three weeks
in a baseball atmosphere which every
lover of the game in Washington would
like to breathe.
But if the Washington fans cannot go
to Atlanta, Atlanta can be brought to
them. All that Mr. Peet learns and
sees he will tell the readers of The
Washington Herald. He will have no
secrets. He is to be the head of tell
it-all society, and all the baseball lovers
in Washington are fellow-members. g.
In common with all the other fans,
we envy Mr.. Peet in his assignment
We shall miss him while he Is gone, but
if he gives us the baseball news right
off the bat We shall endure his absence
with cheerful resignation.
