THE EXPLOSIVE MILL.

| HlLE powder IS useful only from its tendency IN to explode, the fact is recognized that the ex-
 ploson must to produce the best results, be hedged about with certain restrictions.
 Yesterday there another fatal accident in a powder factory across the bay It is high time that similar catastrophes centers of population be made impossible. Of course, the only way to bring this condition is to bansh the factories to an island or a wilderness. In doing this there should be no delay.
 Every employe of powder mill takes his life in his hands. He knows the risk he faces and with eyes open he meets the desperate chance There may be possibility of protecting him through the enforce ment ot precautions neglected. Be this as it may, there are methods by which the public can be protected. The public cannot pack up and go It can reasonably ask that the disintegrated powder mill be not rebuilt upon the site of havoc and death.
 It IS strange circumstance that there should be SO many explosions in this vicinity California produces large quantity of powder but it does not produce more than all the rest of the United States yet it does supply most of the fatal explosions San Francisco remembers we'll the tragedy of seven or eight years ago. when all the cities around the bay were rocked and shaken as with mighty earthquake. At that time hundreds of lives were endangered, thousands of dollars of damage wrought But no lesson was i'm pressed At short intervals ever since the event has been repeated on smaller scale
 There IS sense in permitting this to continue Let the powder mill seek the Faralones or some spot equally remote. Its presence is constant menace There should be placed human life greater value than upon the prosperity of any industry. To em- mate the powder mill from the centers of population would not impair the industry and even if were to do so there ought to be hesitation in taking the step.
