JERUSALEM JARRED
Fire at Worlds Fair Throws
People Into Panic

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 5.-Fire broke
out early today in the kitchen of the
American cafe in the Jerusalem con-
cession at the worlds fair grounds and
for more than an hour threatened fes-
tival hall, the west pavilion and the
whole Jerusalem axhibit. After con-
siderable excitement among the Turks
Arabs and other Orientals, who We're
asleep when the fire broke out, it was
gotten under control. The American
cafe, which is in two wings and elab-
orately furnished, was Quilted in both
wings. The loss is $4,000. The cause
of the fire is not known.
The widest excitement prevailed all
over the Jerusalem inclosure by the
time the firemen arrived. The sounds
of shots fired by the watchmen had
awakened 700 persons who occupy the
various buildings of the exhibit.
Without waiting for clothes, many
jumped from windows or rushed into
the streets, half clad. Other thought
of their possessions and packed their
trunks, only to throw them from the
windows when they had them strap
ped, fearing they would be unable to
convey them safely down stairs. Trunk
after trunk was thrown to the street,
breaking open when it struck the
ground and scattering trinkets and
souvenirs of Jerusalem on all sides.
After them their owners would jump,
in danger of being seriously injured,
but none sustained more than slight
bruises.
Wadic Shachity, a Syrian, who lives
within the enclosure, rushed from his
rooms to the scene of the fire, and as
he passed the Central hotel trunk
thrown from the second story struck
him upon the head. His injuries are
perhaps fatal

What the Editors Say

minnesota Democrats enjoyed one of
their historic scraps at the state con-
vention last week. but they reached a
wiser decision than they would if there
had been no scrap. That is, neither
Parker nor Hearst was Endorsed, and
the state delegation to the national con-
Venuon goes uninStructed. Nothing
could be wiser than that. Best of all,
the delegates selected are repre-
sentative Democrats of the state-men
who can neither be cajoled nor bulliel
nor bribed to do the thing they believe
to be the wrong thing. And we are
willing to trust their judgment as to
what constitutes the right thing

reciprocity wherever reciprocal ar
rangements can be effected consistent

least equal the difference in the cost

RESTORING A GOOD PRECEDENT

President Roosevelt is to be COM
mended in the strongest possible terms
for his announcement that he will
make no speeches during the campaign,
and that he will decline invitations to
public functions where he would be
expected to speak. He has also let it
be known that he will receive no po-
litical visitors at his home at Oyster
Bay during the summer, except those
who are passed there by the chair
man of the national committee He.
does not wish delegations to appear
there and call him forth for political
purposes. In a word, he proposes, now
that he is officially the candidate, to
withdraw, as such a candidate should,
from the brawling of the campaign and
let his supporters do the talking for
him.
Exercising, as we do, the right to
criticise President Roosevelt freely
when occasion arises, we give him
most hearty praise for everything done
which seems to us to tend to the res
toration of higher ideals and fairness,
purity and dignity in politics. This
leads in that direction. 1t is unworthy
of the presidential office that the oc-
cupant of it or the man who is pro-
posed for it by his party should go
swinging around the circle begging for
votes. President Roosevelt belittled
his office and himself when he made
his tour of the country a year and a
half ago. 1t was undignified and i'm
p he Will have no more of it. 1t is en-
tirely fitting that the candidate of
great party, once or twice on great
occasions at some immense gathering
in one of the country's centers, should
state for himself his personal position
and the doctrine of his party. That is
enough. To go out and mix with the
hustlers, to speak day after day from
the rear of train or on improvised
platforms at wayside stopping places
should be beneath the dignity of his
ambition.
Even more offensive, perhaps. is the
practice that has grown up of late
years of having delegations from
abroad call on the candidate at his
home and beg for a speech The home
should be sacred from this kind of in
vasion. Everybody knows that these
demonstrations are only half genuine.
There are lot of people whom Curl
oslty moves to visit possible presi-
dent, and who feel themselves flattered
by being allowed to enter his private
premises. There are a lot more who
are diligently worked up by the man
ayers of delegations, primed with
speeches and with questions that will
enable their candidate to say what
they think will. be to his advantag e

THE MUNICIPAL INDOOR BATH
The city of New York has opened the
first of several indoor public baths
which the park department has planned
to erect in different congested portions
pertinent in New York, for. while that
city is well provided with outdoor
baths for use by the people during the
summer time, the indoor bath just
opened in Seward park is the first of
its kind to be established by the munic-
ipality. The indoor bath is designed
for the use of jewellers in the tene-
ments. The one just opened has total
daily capacity of about 1,450 men and
1,00S women, so it will be seen that
when the four other baths now in the
course of construction are completed
bathing facilities will be provided for a
very large number of people who have
no such facilities in their own homes.
The problem of banishing disease
from overpopulated districts confronts
solution particularly difficult, for the
big city receives the siftings of the
emigrant consignments sent over from
the old country. The indoor municipal
baths are intended to aid the city in
solving the problem. A clean people
means healthy people, and If New
York can persuade it's newcomers and
its foreign population to battle fire.

and which costs them little or nothing.
But the larger cities with their emf
grant problem to solve are not the only
ones that can be benefited by the es-
adjustment Of these municipal indoor
baths. In every city, no matter what
the size, there is a class of people who
are hardworking and ambitious but
whom circumstances, compel to live
most frugally. This class is made up
largely of unmarried people whose only
home is generally a cheap and crowded
boarding house which affords little
privacy and which is provided with few

and fortunately in this country they are
increasing in number every year. But
the day will surely come when

bath, and when that day arrives the
