Anthracite Coal Strike

A big anthracite coal strike in
the neighborhood of st. Johns
has been reported. A great out
cropping of This valuable coal
was recently discovered and it is
believed that the field is a very
large one. If such a field should
turn out in this part OF the coun-
try it would be one of the great
est helps the world could get in
this line.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
State of Arizona, Execu-
tive Department.

Since that memorable day in
history when the Pilgrim Faith
ers and their families foregath-
cred at Plymoth on New Eng
lands bleak an barren coast and
there gave reverent thanks to
God for bountiful harvest and
other blessings mercifully be-
slowed. Time has wrouSht it's
miracles. The steady march of
empire has taken its westward
way; forest and plain and ma
lures mighty elements have paid
tribute to industry while state
after state has joined a sisterhood
making the worlds greatest ma
lions. Youngest of all in state
hood, but rich in potentialities,
is our beloved Arizona, for whose
accession to the privileges of
sovereignty we, her citizens, are
deeply grateful.
Lhe spirit of progress pursues
an ideal. Where there is no
vision, the people perish" Be-
hold a commonwealth where
marvellous natural resources are
stored in mountain and valley
awaiting industries be h e S t;
where people is aligned against
all wrongs assailing; where the
charity of a populace is almoner
unto the erring and afflicted;
where the poverty of the past is
forgotten in the plenty Of the
present; where willful waste is
not the precursor of woful want;
whe manhoods's honesty and
courage are glorified and wo-
manly virtue is religion; where
Church and State work in har-
mony for the general good.
Obeying natures highest law,
we are grateful to our Creator
for our share in the upbilding of
this Young commonwealth; for
the privilege of giving posterity
a heritage even richer than our
own: for the health and hope
that abide among our people; for
the contentment that dwelIs in
our homes; for the spiritual grace
that leads us in the path OF rec
titude; for the family ties and
bonds of love that hold us true
to our loftiest, aims; for the ma
terial prosperity that gives sus-
tenance to Home and Church.
NOW, THEREFORE, il re-
cognition of the blessings which
we have received at the hands of
the Supreme Being, in conform
ity with a time-honored custom
of the American people, and in
accordance with the Proclama-
ton of the President of the Uni
ted States, l, Geo. w. P. Hunt,
Governor of Arizona, do-hereby
designate
THURSDAY, NOVEMB Err
THE TWENTY EIGHTH, AS
THANKSGIVING DAY, and l
do earnestly recommend that on
this fesiaI occasion the usual
tasks be forsaken and that all
shall be deeply mindful of the
needy the sick and the otherwise
unfortunate. while at altar and
at fireside gratitude be shown for
the gifts of Gods bestowing.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, l
have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the Great
Seal of the State of Arizona.
Done at the Capital, in the City
of Phoenix, this, fourteenth
day of November, A. D., 1912.

Favoring an Income Tax.

The overwhelming vote by which the
House adopted the excise or income tax
provision of the sugar bill indicates the
popular feeling in regard to this legis-
Iation The measure was supported by
eighty of the Republican members of
the House.
There is no doubt that an income tax
is regarded as an equitable manner OF
collecting revenue. Its burden falls
upon those who are able to pay it. Dur
ing the civil war the revenue secured
through its operation was enormous.
In the present day the amount would
be much larger because incomes are
greater and because they are more
widely distributed.
The result of the vote in the House
will unquestionably have Its moral ef-
feet upon the Senate, and it is not at
all impossible that the bill, in some
form, will eventually reach the Presi-
dent for his action.

New Car Lines Needed.

The report of the District Conmis-
Iioncrs upon the street car situation ab-
solutely confirms the position taken by
The Washington Herald some months
ago as to the necessity for new lines
of traffic. As was pointed out in these
columns, the ancient avenues of travel
have been relied upon to carry con-
stantly increasing population, with the
result that congestion and inconvcni-
enoe have been occasioned. The new
routes which the Commissioners have
suggested will secure a marked i'm
provement, but even these will not be
sufficient if the city continues to de-
velop.
There is much virtue in the Com
missioners' recommendation that the
street car companies should be consoli-
dated. They could be operated together
at less expense. and the territory could
be 50 divided as to produce the largest
amount of revenue for the smallest out
lay for construction. 1t is also essen
tial that some system be devised to
overcome the present conditions in the
neighborhood of Fifteenth street and
New York avenue and Fourteenth street
and New York avenue, and it may be
that the subway plan which the Commits
sioners present may obviate the diff
culties. At any rate, it is pleasing to
know that the Commissioners have
given careful thought to the problem
and have afforded Congress a founda-
ton for future legislation.
1t is worth while TO remember that
the resolution passed by the Senate
directing the Commissioners to study
and report upon the street car situation
followed a suggestion in The Wash
ington Herald that such action be
taken.

Variety as the Spice of Life.

In the discussion before the newly
organized Efficiency Society in New
York some interesting statements have
been made. Not the least valuable and
instructive was the remark of DIR.
Luther H. Gulick, of the Russell Sage
Foundation, that efficiency cannot be
secured by driving men and women at
high pressure for an indefinite period,
nor by keeping them eternally at work.
He advocated shorter working hours,
and especially a larger opportunity for
the working people to get some relief
from the daily grind of toll
DR.. Gulick asserted that there was
nothing so wearing upon the human
system as weeks and weeks of monoto-
nous labor. He believed that greater
efficiency could be obtained if the la
boring man and woman could be aided
in keeping themselves from becoming
mere human machines. In an organi-
zation which has been formed for the
purpose OF getting more work out of

Memorial to Washington.

If plans now well under way everitu-
ate as expected, the City of Alexandra
will have within a few years a fine
building erected by the Masons Of
America as a memorial to George
Washington. Announcement is made
that the organization of an association
for the purpose has been completed, and
that an active campaign will begin al
once to raise 100000 by popular sub
scription for the purpose.
The plan and the purpose are alike
praiseworthy, and the association is
formed of some of the most prominent
Masons of the country, which gives it
the advantage of wise counsel and
promise of success. 1t is to be hoped
that the money will be subscribed and
the memorial built in the city which
George Washington regarded as his
home, and near which he dwelt.
Washington WAS the most eminent
Mason of his generation, gave much at
tcntlon 10 the AFFAIRS OF the order, and
did much in his lifetime TO establish it
upon a permanent basis in this country.
He was in an important sense the father
of Masonry in the United States, and
it is proper that a special memorial to
his name and fame, giving prominence
to this feature of his career, should be
raised in Alexandria His fame as mil
itary leader, statesman, and President
is secure and has been memorialized in
many ways, and there remains only this
tribute of the Masons of the twentieth
century TO the great Mason of the
eighteenth century to fill out the need
of honor in which a grateful people
hold the name OF Washington.

AN APPEAL TO MEXICANS.
They Are Asked to support Govern
mcnt to Prevent Intervention.

They Are Asked to support Govern
mcnt to Prevent Intervention.
From the Mexican Herald
The American people do not want in.
tervention.
The American government does mol
want intervention.
American residents in Mexico do not
want Intervention.
Wherein. then, lies any danger of in
tervention?
1t does not exist unless disorder in Mex
leo should reach such point that life
and property interests of foreigners are
not protected.
Intervention Will never occur unless
conditions in the republic become so seri-
Gus that responsible Mexican interests
in common with foreign residents, will be
forced to ask assistance in bringing re-
lief from an intoIerablc situation.
Foreigners in Mexico only ask that they
receive the protection that the laws OF
Mexico guarantee them.
The American government only asks
that Mexico provide the same protection
and consideration for Americans in Mex
leo that Mexicans receive in the United
States
The proof that tho United States has
no desire 10 intervene in Mexican af-
fairs is the fact that during the last
twelve months L has rot done so, when
many incidents might easily have been
aggravated 10 form an excuse for inter-
vention IL such I desire had existed.
The proof that Americans IN Mexico
do not want Intervention is found not
alone in their expressions of friendship
for this country, and their desire for its
absolute political independence, but in
their acts. Wherever and whenever they
have been given opportunity they have
co-operated with Mexicans to organize
and arm themselves. to lend moral and
militant aid in preserving order.
II intervention should be seriously un-
dertaken by the military forces OF the
United States II is a patent fact that
Mexico could not prevent it. But such
Intervention would only come because a
condition Of anarchy reigned in this
country.
However. r Mexican5 could not stop in
tervention they can avoid it, They can
prevent present conditions becoming
worse until intervention is forced upon
the United States by the necessity of
protecting the interests of its citizens
and by pressure from other nations.
The situation m Mexico to-day is clear.
The proposition is simply this:
The constitutional government must be
supported or the result will be chaos,
and chaos will mean inevitable interven-
tion by the United States or some other
power.

Frun the ChicasO Record Herald.
II has long been supposed that Gen.
w. T. Sherman was first to speak OF
the Stars and Stripes as ''old Glory"
II Is true that Gen. Sherman often spoke
OF the flag as ''OId Glory" but he was
not the first to speak OF the most beau
tiful Of all our American beauties as
"Old Glory" 1t was Capt. William Driv-
er, of Salem, Mass, a seafaring man.
In 1S53. as he was about to start on
cruise on the schooner Charles Dag
gett a cluster OF his Salem friends pre-
sented Capt. Driver with a large Amer
ican flag. In accepting his nations en-
blem he called it ''Old Glory" Not long
after quitting the sea the captain made
Nashville. Tenn. his home. That was
some years before the war. He took with
him that same flag, and upon all holidays
threw II TO the breeze and hailed IL as
| t"Old Glory" and people got in the habit
Of calling him "Old Glory Driver.
When the big war came Capt. Driver
remained true 10 the Union and was so
pronounced in his loyalty that the Con-
federates decided to capture his flag as
A punishment Half a dozen different de-
tachments were sent to the Driver prem

Here was Capt Drivers opportunity.

the first to be raised over the State
Capitol. His request was complied with,
and when the old, gray-haired patriot
saw II dancing, he said:
Now that 1 see Old Glory waving
over my States capitol | am ready 10

But he didn't die until 1896. at the
age of eighty-three years. That particu-
lar "old Glory" is among the priced

the employed, these statements may
not have been welcome. but there can
be no doubt as to their truth.
The largest degree of efficiency can
not be obtained If the workman is un-
der constant and monotonous strain,
and this is the point which has already
been brought out in the report of the
House committee against the Taylor
system. Some consideration must be
given to the human being who produces
results.

Roosevelt Forces the Fight.

The prediction made some time ago
in The Washington Herald that Col.
Roosevelt would force the fighting in
the present campaign, no matter what
attitude the President and his friends
might assume, is being abundantly real
lied He has already bitterly attacked
President Taft's speech before the
Massachusetts, legislature on the ques-
ton of Presidential primaries, and last
night, in his speech at Carnegie Hall,
III New York, he took direct issue with
the President A very large portion of
his address was criticism of the Presi-
dent. Mr. Taft" to quote one of his
sentences, again and again expresses
his disbelief in the people when they
vote at the polls" And, repeating one
of the Presidents phrases, he wants to
know whether Mr.. Taft was elected
through "the ftful impulse of tenn
porary majority"
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech, which was in
characteristic vein, was an elaboration
and reiteration of his utterances at
Columbus. His assertions that the
country is now controlled by a mi
nority which is grabbing our coal de-
posts, our water powers, and our har-
Dor fronts" and that 1t is a small mi
nority, that lies behind monopolies and
trusts" indicate the nature of his ad-
dress. 1t is in his direct assault upon
the President, however, that his pur-
pose and methods are disclosed. He
proposes to make a personal issue be-
tween himself and the President and,
If possible, force the latter into a de-
bate with him.
The President has nothing to fear
from the controversy. He has made
his position plain, and can with conf
dencc await the verdict of his party.

Women in Washington.

From the Hartford Times.
Leading suftragists of the country who
are in Washington have told a Senate
committee why women should have the
vote. In the list Of speakers were women
who have achieved something on their
own account and who while doing it have
had time to help better the conditions
of women and children who could not
help themselves. They are the more able,
therefore, TO show that the women en-
gagged in the suffrage movement can do
snmethinc besides talk
