Long, Dumnore. Coal Mining In Arkansas. Of particular interest to the Lacka wanna region is a report that the min ing expert, Edward W. Parker, well known in Scranton, has just prepared nn tK rnnl denosits in Arkansas. He finds that the records of coal mining in that state goe3 back to li40 when according to census figures, 2.0 short tons were produced there.

For the next twenty years Arkansas and Iowa were the only trans Mississippi states that reported coal production, and dur tag the earlier years the industry was very small in Arkansas. In 1SS0 the total production was only 14,778 short tons. Beginning with 13S3 production in creased rapidly, the maximum pro duction occurring in 1903, when it reached 2.229.172 short tons. Since this last mentioned year there has been a decrease. According to Mr.

Parker, during 1904 and 1905 the conditions affecting the coal mining industry in Arkansas were far from satisfactory, the large pro duction of petroleum in Texas and the adoption of oil as a locomotive fuel by I a number of the railroads in that state having cut off a portion of the market for coal mined both in Arkansas and 'Indian territory. As a result of these 'conditions the production, of Arkansas ceal declined from 2,229,172 short tons. in 1903 to 2,009,451 short tons in 1904, and to 1,334,673 tons in 1903. A fur ther decline of 70,405 short tons, or 3.6 per is noted in the returns for 1906, the total production being 1,864,268 short tons, having a spot value of $3,000,339. Suspension of work during the spring months when the miners and operators were at loggerheads over the wage scale is said to have caused the decreased production during 1906.

This suspension lasted from April first to June IS, tho total men idle during that time being 3,,828 out of a total of 4.29S. Assuoing that the market would have taken all the coal that could have been prodeced the output in 1906 under nor ma) conditions would have been 000,000 tons. During the past four years no ma chines have been used in Arkansas ia tho production of coal and only one company has made an effort to im prove its quality by washing. During these four years the Kansas mines nave practically all been unionized and havn been operated on an eight hour day basis. The fatalities in connection with Arkansas mining were comparatively stcall, thirteen in all, while thirty one rnon were injured.

The average pro duction per man, according to last was 433.8 per man as com pared "tritn per man on the prev aaa year, the decrease being attributed to the suspension. There Is noth ing aaW as to an analysis of the Ar but in non official reports it Is sa3d fo closely resemble the an tt6racito of Pennsylvania. Tbere is a general belief that some where on the earth there are undiscovered vast fields of coal which will for many years to come furnish fuel in plonty for the world. Were these fields to be discovered somewhere in the United States or Canada no one would be surprised. The Tribune wastes little sympathy on the men and women who niter from the beat during this period buts Bays tlkt they should remember that horses and other domestic animals are in need of careful and considerate treatment.

Perhaps the editor of the Tribune desires to get into the limelight as a nature writer. There was a decided stir in Wilkes Barre on Wednesday night when District Attorney Salsburg. with the aid of the state police, entered four places where "cards are played and arrested half a hundred men, some of wrtiom are well known in Scranton. It is a new line of work fcr the constabulary. They were doubtless selected because they were believed to be free from local influences.

Bnsiness Men with Courage. It was the business men of Bingham ton who were responsible for ending the recent street car strike. After en during seemingly intolerable condi tions for weeks they finally combined and made such an effective protest that the boycott was lifted without delay. The same stand might have been taken in the beginning with equal sue cess, but it took' time to crystalize sentiment, and also financially to feel the pinch of the strike which fell heav ier on the merchants and general bus iness men than upon any other class They had much money invested in propertv and stock. Every day they saw their profits and even their livelihood dwindle.

They became desper ate and did the proper thing, forced an abandonment of the boycott which had assumed proportions menacing to life and property. Business men could speedily adjust these difficulties between capital and labor nine times out of ten. They are in a position to compel a decision, a compromise, or a receding from an unjust position on both sides. There is nothing so timid as capital except the business man. Often he blames the newspapers for not taking a stand when certain difficulties come up af fecting the public welfare, but he refuses to give his countenance and support to the paper that has the courage of its convictions.

The business men of Binghanvton have proved con clusively thttt they can control a very strained situation and bring about a resumption of commercial prosperity. Federal and State Courts. As was expected the clash between the State and Federal courts regard ing the new railroad rate law has been precipitated. Perhaps it is best that the contest has been brought to a critical point thus early as the final de cision may be of great assistance to other states under similar conditions. The courts of South Carolina have made a drastic decision in the case of the Southern railway where a ticket agent was sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for selling tickets at a rate defying the new state law.

While his reasons for holding the law unconstitutional. Judge Pritchard of the Federal court, adds that if the criminal prosecutions against the agents, conductors and employes are permitted to continue, the railroads cannot successfully operate tneir trains, carry the mails or continue their usefulness in interstate com merce. This decision will undoubtedly throw tfle matter into the Supreme court of the United States, where, it should be placed for the general good of the country, so that once and for all' many of these vexing questions may be settled as to. the right of states to fix conditions controlling the df tiny of a vast commercial enterprise. While North Carolina is determined to fight the case to a finish, and threatens to dall out the Militia to uphold the laws made by the legislature, perhaps: a clearer view of the situation and a more conservative estimate of what is just wiil be afforded through the action of the court of last resort.

The Democratic Just where the Democrats are as re" gards a candidate for next year seems to. be problematical. That Mr. Bryan has established some degree of popu larity with a certain' faction in his government ownership prenunciamento was but that he had alarmed and disillusioned many' more was equally sure. His retreat from that position will offend 'trie support ers of the theory but will not Inspire the opponents with confidence as it will be looked upon as an indication of vacillation which they will not be fclow to consider with apprehension in an administration leader.

The Democratic party cannot raise the flag of trust destroying, for, by the time the Republican administration is through, it appears that the trusts will be properly chastened. The tariff issue is ndf so appealing that It can be taken for a battle cry unsupported by something more spectacular. A3 to the regulation of railroads, the Republican administration has al ready done a fair amount of regulat ing, if the afflicted voices of the railroad presidents are to be heard and Interpreted. So the Democrats are In a bad way for a leader. It cannot be said that a defeated presidential candidate, like a defeated champion, "never comes back." Experience has proved that such candidates have come back after overwhel ming defeat and have been elected.

There have not, however, been cases parallel with that of Mr. Bryan. With every defeat he has lost prestige and weight with his party. While bis per sonal magnetism can always carry him far, he is yet the man who has never THE SCKAKTON REPUBLICS. FRIDAY.

JULY 26, 1907. done anything but talk. There are men In the Democratic party who have not talked so much but have really done things. Next year the candidate rhust be a man who has done more than merely to tell what he is going to do. Whether a candidate can be found who will carry some weight by his own achievements and who will also be able to impress the people by his magnetic presence, remains to be seen.

Fault of the Parents." Parents are blamed by Mrs. Bertels, of JTilkes Barre, for much of the crime that is committed by juveniles 1n Ln rerne county. Mrs. Bertels is the agent for the Charities in 'Wilkes Barre and has had wide experience among the imte on During the past two weeks, eight boys have been arrested in Wilkes Barre for committing robberies throughout the city. Commenting on these cases to a reporter for the Wilkes Barre Record, Mrs.

Bertels says that it is practically useless t3 send these children to reformatories when they are released their parents allow them to mingle again with their old associates who led them to crime She favors a law that would provide that where parents are careless or negligent and fail to keep their young out of bad or depraved company, or permit them to run about the streets at all hours of day day and night that these children should be taken, away from such negligent parents and" placed In proper keeping. If abuses exist to such an extent as Mrs. Bertels intimates, unquestionably in time we will have to have some such law as she favors. But Mrs. Bertels may be mistaken.

If proper influences were brought to bear upon the alleged negligent parents, both In Scranton and Wilkes Barre, the? might revise their manner of bringing. up their little ones and teach them to walk in the straight and narrdSv paths. There' are already laws that provide that parents who are either depraved or drunken or may be relieved of the care of the children that such parents are unfit to rear. Where these statutes vigorously and intelligently enforced, there would be less cause for such complaints as Mrs. Bertels has made.

Before we clamor for ad ditlonal laws, so many of whioh never have been put Into effect, let us see what we can do through firm and con scientious enforcement of such as we have. Highway Commissioner's Staff. Reorganization has somewhat chang ed the staff of the State Department of Highways under the authority of a recent act of the legislature. Theap pointments made by Highway Com missioner Joseph W. Hunter are being highly complimented in Harrisburg.

Mr. Roy D. Beman has been advanced from assistant commissioner to deputy commissioner. It is claimed that he owed his appointment to merit alone, having no politicial influence back of him to push his claims. His efficienoy in conducting the details of a highly technical department caused those in authority over him to view his work with marked favor and at the earliest opportunity his worth has been given recognition.

Mr. Hunter's department, in view of all that is being planned for roads In Pennsylvania, promises to become one of first importance and the state will be pleased to know that the commis sioner has help of the very highest grade in perfecting details that are of interest to all of us. Soo Hoo Doo, a Chinaman who for merly resided In this city where he acted both as laundryman and pro prietor of a small store, is running up against all kinds of trouble In Wilkes Barre, his latest being an alleged breaking in of a Dennis alley donr. He claimed the right of entrance there but another tenant evidently disliked his company and barred him out. He was dismissed by Mayor Kirkendall after promising to pay for the repairs to the door.

Evidently Wilkes Barre is an unhealthy neighborhood for a Chinaman. Until other precautions than the ones in use on steamships are called Into play huge vessels will keep on punch ing holes into each other in fogs and loss of life and property will continue. Nevertheless, more general use of safety devises is made on ships than on railway lines, if all official reports tell the truth. The Second regiment of the Pennsyl vania National Guard has produced a commissioned officer who has declared that the guard Is more of a plaything than a useful article in the hands of the state. We can see his finish.

Pottsvllle is agitating strongly for an armory The Miners Journal says that citizens there have made a most advantageous offer to the state for a site In Harrisburg the authorities are compelling automobilists to display tags with clean faceB on both ends of their cars, so that while they are running the policemen may read. Commander Peary says that this will be his last attempt to reach the pole. There is a meurnfulness about thel note that is not particularly encouraging to his friends. At last Mr. Bryan has formally nominated himself for the presidency.

WW! When Soo Hoo Doo was a resident of this city he was a mild and meek representative of the Chinese race, be longing to a Christian church and con ducting himself like any other respect able citizen. It is the naughty influ ence of Wilkes Barre that has brought him into unpleasant notoriety. Be brought home a little footed wife, to whom he had been betrothed for years, having Journeyed to China to get her. Both his wife an himself were high caste Chlne'ses. More than one prominent resident of this city will remember a certain night when a distracted Celestial rang the door bell of a handsome home and besought the lady of the house, who had befriended him In trouble, to 5 i knh "fv I nttle baby, he die." exclaimed Boo.

"and she ely. velly much. Must have 'nother right away. I pay fifty dollar for baby, even good for nothing girl. You sure can buy girl baby for my wife.

She velly sick and cly." It was' exceedingly hard for him to realize that even a girl baby could not be bought at a moment's notice on the streets of Scranton, and he was inconsolable, as was the pretty little sixteen year old bride, mourning her dead new born child. Later another baby came to the small shop and she used fo be a source of amusement to visitors who caught glimpses of the shy little mother and the gaily clad toddler. They named her Jennie and not a few well known people of Scran ton took a great deal of Interest in the big Chinaman's family. His wife used to remark frankly upon the horribly large feet of the ladies who came in and She never recovered from her shyness and reserve. But down in Barre, Soo Hoo Doo is corftlnuaily appearing in some more or less unenvlaHe light before fjie police court.

It seems too bad after the Christian influences he had in this city. Wives at svfir.1,1 iiokar lovine SerAn ton men were offensively pertinatlous yesterday in their curtasity as to why their husbands returned bo late In the morning. Women never make successful or ganizers of strikes. They can make a heap of trouble during a strike and can cause more disturbance and do more exasperating things than men could devise in a year's time, but when it comes to organizing a successful labor contest for themselves they seem to be "shy on several points. The people of this community were divided into two parties yesterday, each equally offensive to the other.

One was composed of those who saw the eclipse of the moon and who boasted so much of that achievement tlYat you might have thought they had arrang ed it as an evening entertainment, and the other party made of the ones who never knew there was an eclipse until they saw it in the morning paper the next day. Mr. Charles E. Hamilton, advertising agent for the Family theater, for several seasons and for many years with the Lyceum and Academy, has re signed to accept a similar position with the Poll theater. Fourteen years ago, Mr.

Hamilton resigned his position with Mr. Poli In Connecticut and It is somewhat of a coincidence that he should again engage with him after so many years, At the Family theater, his successor has not been announced and will not be until the season opens. ylmiMemente. I. una Park.

Final arrangements are now being made for the second annual outing of men nnners, of Irem Temple, at Luna i'arK on Friday, August 2. This dav last year was one of the biggest events of the summer, but the pilgrimage year Is going to break all records un less indications belle. Thousands of Maccabees from Lack a wanna and Luzerne counties will be at Luna Park today conducting a joint outing. Yesterday the second outing or me Amity social club, of Honesdale was held at the park, proving a great rug success. Tomorrow will be Welsh day, when 20,000 Welsh are expected from this end of the state.

A par ticularly interesting prbgrammo has been arranged, and one of the features of the day will be the singing of a Welsh number by Bert Monphy, "the man who sings to beat the band." The free attraction secured for next week of James E. Hardy, the high wire king, whose performances were so well received at Luna last season. Mr. Hardy returns with a new repertoire of sensational and startling feats. Alexander's famous Ninth Regiment fiand of Wilkes Barre wllJ Ibe the band attraction next week.

The duplicate number In your Luna Park number" game is still missing, although a very close search has been made for it. The holders of the two numbers will each receive $20 In gold. The contest will be continued today, but will be brought to a conclusion Saturday night, and the money donated to charity if it Isn't brought to light before that time. Flrnt of the Season. In presenting the Rosnbelle Leslie Co.

to the patrons of the Academy, next Saturday matinee and night and continuing throughout the ensuing week, the management announces that every available effort has been made to secure only the very best dramatic and vaudeville talent to be had, and has succeeded in. surrounding his tal ented little star with one of the strongest supporting companies with which she has yet been seen. The organization was perfected with a view to transporting the entire company Into a city stock later In the season, consequently only the very beRt stock talent has been secured. Four high class vaudeville acts will supply the Intermission between actH, making virtually two shows for one prlce of admission. Berwick People Plaed.

"Rocky Glen is the greatest yet and we have been nil around the circle," said L. S. Jacoby, of Berwick, last evening after he and about 1,200 of his townspeople spent the day at the Glen. Mr. Jacoby was chairman of the Berwick Merchant excursion commit tee and declares the people enjoyed themselves more at Rocky Glen yesterday than they dJd at any of their previous excursions.

Thfr Berwick people were delighted with the enter tainment afforded. The employes of the'Matheson Motor Car Co. and their friends were at Rocky Glen yesterday also and swelled the crowd to over 6.000 with the regular park patrons. The Matheson people came in special cars over the Laurel Line and Mr. Matheson and friends came to the park in an automobile, one of the handsome cars made at their factory.

There were many foot races and swimming contests between the Matheson employes, also tub races on the lake. It was a very enjoyable occasion. All of the attractions were in motion" and the weather was ideal. One big Ferris wheel is being put in place on the pike and will be In motion today, it is tne only wheel of its kind in the locality and the ride is cheering and smooth.
