STRIKE RIOT IN FRANCE
Weayers Create a Reign of Terror
at Arnentieres and Do
Wreck and Ruin.
TORCH ONE OF THEIR WEAPONS.
Houses and Factories Set Oh Fire and
Troops Defied Mob rs Final
~ Dispersed.

Armentieres, North France, Oct IA.
- This town was given up to riot,
pillage and incendiarism as a conse-
quence of the Weayers' strike. Moth
ing foretold the serious disturbances
about to occur, but at noon the Strik-
ers, not receiving answers to their de-
mands from the employers, broke out
into the widest excesses. A mob of
5000 gathered in the great square and
urged the troops stationed there to
throw down their arms, shouting
Down with patriotism" The rioters
then spread through the principal
streets, breaking the windows of the
stores, and dragging out the huge dis
play rolls of linen, which they
stretched across the streets with the
object of impeding the advance Of
cavalry.
Mob Begins to Use the Torch.
They wrecked shops, sacked the
houses Of persons obnoxious to the
ringleaders, and attacked the banks,
in two of which they succeeded in
stealing d few hundred dollars from
the tills. One gang set fire to a large
quantity of linen in the cellars Of
Messrs. Becquarts' factory, others
broke the windows of houses and
threw inside burning straw. The
troops, hampered by the distractions
thrown in their way by the rioters,
were for long time unable to dispense
the mob. Finally determined charge
by lancers restored temporary quiet.
Women and Boys Take a Hand.
After dark the rioters tore up the
sewer gratings and paving stones and
stretched wires across the streets.
Women brought piles of empty. bot
ties for use as missiles, while boys
sWarmed up the lamp posts and ex-
tinguished the gas jets. In spite Of
the efforts Of the soldiery the riot
ers then. proceeded to sack the houses,
ORA gging out the furniture, saturating
it with petroleum and setting fire to it
houses belonging to the strikers en-
ployers, and one big factory. The To-
cal brigade being inadequate to cope
with the CONGREGATIONS an urgent APP
peal was sent to the neighboring town
of Lille, whence a steam pump and
relnforcements of firemen were sent.
Law Gains the Upper Hand.
By midnight, however, the troops
and police had gained the upper hand
and dispersed the mob. The streets
are now deserted, except for the armed
patrols. The authorities are taking
measures to ascertain the names of the
ringleaders in the riots. AS a result
Of the Intervention of the project the
strike leaders have decided to submit
the employers terms to a referendum
of the WOrkmen.

There is not the same sentiment
in Mexico against a third term for a
presidential candidate that there is
here. President Diaz became presi-
dent of the Republic in 1877 by the
success of a revolution headed by
himself. In 1880 Manuel Gonzales
was elected to the presidency, serv-
ing out his four years term when
Gen. Porfrio Diaz was elected for
four years. He was reelected in
1883, 1892, 1896 and 1900 and the
sentiment in the country is practical
ly unanimous for his reelection for
the next term. Previous to the time
Diaz became president revolutions
were frequent but he has succeeded

trmness and in giving the country
exceptional prosperity.

The Forests.

1t is demonstrated fact that for
ests have an important function in
relation to moisture. 1t was former
ly claimed that forests attracted rain,
increased the precipitation. This
claim was considered absurd. The
facts as demonstrated are these
Higher attitudes precipitate mois-
ture. These higher attitudes are
generally forest areas. The forests
rather retain than precipitate mois-
ture. Where, especially upon slopes,
the forests have been cut off the
moisture rapidly runs off into and
through.the drainage basins. What
does not Immediately run off is
rapidly eyaporated by the sun.
Forests retain the moisture by rea-
son of the grounds being covered
with leaves and by shading the
ground. The water finds its way
slowly and gradually to lower levels
the ground is saturated and the
surplus finds its way slowly down
the inclines. Forests are conserva-
tors. They save the moisture for
the use Of the land, to encourage
vegetation. Forests maintain a
constancy in the flow of ,treams and
prevent ruinous floods. The forest
supplies of a country should keep
pace with its demands. Forests
should not be exhausted faster than
they increase. The government is
beginning policy to have the for
ests preserved. Not to have the
forests protected simply as orna-
ments, or as habitations for game,
but to "preserve them by wise USE"
To see that great areas are not en-
tirely denuded. To this end it has
set aside considerable public land as
forest reserves. 1t encourages the
preservation of forests on lands held
by individual tenure and the plant
ing of trees on waste land.

A bad law may have its use-as
an experiment.. In sense it may
be a success in its failure, for it will
suggest its own correction. This
mortgage tax law, the experiment
of amateurs, is so defective as prac-
tically to demonstrate the PROPOSE
ton of exemption of credits. Some
of the members of the legislature saw
the force of the argument of the tax
commission when advising the en-
actment of law exempting credits
from taxation, and voted for such a
law. Others, while they were con-
WINGED that the principle of this ex-
emption was correct, said the people
were not yet educated to that appre-
hension and as they demanded this
law taxing credits they should have
an opportunity to try it. The peo-
pie are being educated. They will
be prepared to demand reasonable
law as a substitute from the legisla-
ture in 1905.

"Disasters never come singly."
And coming in groups or following
one after another they seem like
"birds of a feather to flock together"
A series of disasters of similar
kind follow each other. A year
ago the whole world was disturbed
by internal connections resulting
in numerous displays of eruption
earthquakes and volcanoes. In the
winter long series of railway ac-
cidents were recorded. This spring
and summer the main trouble has
been experienced in destructive
floods. These have not been con-
fined to any particular part of the
country but have developed widely
apart.
