the long run they are justified. And a
conspicuous instance of this Is on
view at the present time, with respect
to the railroad rate bill. The measure
as 1t came from the House Is admitted
on all hands to have been both crude
and probably invalid under court re-
view The Senate has immensely
strengthened the measure: and II a
workable. constitutional railroad rate
bill shall be passed at all. II Will be be
cause the Senate made 1t strong.
The function of the Senate seems to
be singularly misunderstood by a good
many OF the writer's who concern them
selves about II. A common complaint
is that the Senate does not yield to
the voice OF the people" OF which the
complaining writer's are so free to con-
slider themselves the exponent. But 1t
Ia quite as likely that the Senators un-
derstand the real voice of the people as
that their assailants do. Whether this
is SO or not, however. is not important
The question is, whether the Senate
should act up to the high obligations
taken by Its members. 1t is not I'M
portnnt that the cry OF the moment be
needed but It is OF vital Importance
that this Nation shall have n deliber-
atiye body which shall act on con-
science and from deliberate Judgment
OF the very best thing to do for the In
terests OF the whole United States.
II is often stated that the Senate was
instituted by the founders OF our Gov
ernment to be balance wheel on legis-
latlon, 10 correct the impulsive legis-
laton OF the popular House, and so on,
But while It Is true that the Senate
does act as such balance wheel, and
does correct the impulsive legislation
OF the House, the reason for its forma-
tion was quite different. II was instt-
tuted to hold the scales even as be-
tween the States, some of which would
unpuestionably have refused TO come
into the Union had 1t not been for this
guarantee that they could hold their
own with their larger and more power
full neighbors. And It has amply served
this purpose of Its creators; It has
equalized the States, precisely rs 1t was
intended TO do.
This fever of abuse OF the Senate as
n body Will surely pass away, and the
people VIII continue to recognize that
great body, as they have done In the
past, as the great safeguard OF the Re-
public, and they Will forever be proud
of IT as such. The day when they are
not. will be sadder day for the people
than for the Senate,

TRIVIAL SHOCKS.

One OF San Franciscos Affections ls
Immediately remediable. We refer TO
the doubt and distress occasioned In
the public mind OF the world by the
sensational announcements Of contln-
ued earthquake shocks; doubt and dis
tress which might delay TO some con-
siderable extent the upbulldinG OF the
Pacific metropolis
So far as indicated In the text of the
messages concerning the daily shocks
they are of no Importance except as
they are magnihed to public attention.
They cause no damage and probably
are not known except I'm the observa-
tories until people read of them In the
newspapers.
Wherever the seismograph is estab-
lished throughout the world there la
said 70 be an almost constant vibration
OF tho needle, due TO earth tremors.
When these vibrations reach an actual
movement upon the surface Of the slide
the tremor is called a shock; but these
are of such frequent occurrence that
they are not reported to the public un-
less the Jar is perceptible TO the senses
of man without his having TO read the
record of the seIsmograph.
AS San Francisco. like many another
city in the world, has been In the habit
OF enjoying" these slight shocks In the
past, and as no sensation has been ere
ated concerning them, il would seem
that now, of all times, they should be
treated by the news agencies as they
really are-of trivial moment
San Francisco is just as secure today
as she would have been today II no
great convulsion had occurred. In
fact, there is reason TO believe that the
city by the Golden Gate is safer now
than before, since 1t is probable that
the earth's crust has so adjusted itself
that no violent shock may be expected
for generations yet to come.
The people OF San Francisco have
confidence in the security OF their
beautiful building site: and the news
agencies which gather information
there for the rest OF the world should
not discourage the sentiment of secur-
ity which Is rapidly growing through
out the Nation and abroad In behalf OF
the restoration OF the Golden metrop-

RELIGION GLASS" IMPOSITION

Manti paper which tells of the fire
IN the schoolhouse in that Utah town
on the sth of April. which was Sum

note which says: Il understand the
Latter-Day Saints were holding re-
lig1on class in the public school, and
that 1T was another case of the small

late our friend on his ncwly-aoquired
liberty, and trust that freemen may

trees In this joyous season of awaken
ing life
Now, this schoolhouse was evidently
In use on that Sunday 1t was certainly
not in use for public schools. AS Sun
day Is the day for religious exercises,
1t seems evident that the use being
made of the schoolhouse was re-
ligious use, which is contrary to law
and subyersive of the rights of the pub
lie not OF the religious cult which put
the public school property to It's own
illegitimate use. No doubt our friend
Is correct in reporting that 1t was in
use for a religion class" at the time
the fire broke out.
But such use is clearly illegal; not
only so, II has been expressly and Off
cially forbidden by the State Superin-
tcndenf pP of ba
superintendent was acquiesced In by
the heads of the Mormon church, In a
public announcement. and the holding
Of these religion classes" in the pub
lie schools was forbidden by the church
authorities, This use of the Manti
schoIohouse. therefore. was In defiance
of the church law as we'll as of the
civil law. II was thus doubly repre-
hensibe.
How will that affect the insurance, az
to the payment for the damage done by
the fire2 Probably the company Will
pay 1t, since the damage was so small,
probably not to exceed fifty dollars.
But suppose the schoolhouse had been
destroyed would the insurance COM
pany pay7 Would 1t not have a good
defense against payment? The insu-
rance is against damage by fire in the
legitimate and lawful use Of the build
ing. But would an insurance company
be really liable for the burning OF the
schoolhouse IL II could be shown that
at the time the fire started 1t was
being used for a confessedly ille-
gal purpose, and the risk Increased by
that much: by the unlawful use of the
building. which takes 1t out of the con-
troll OF the trustees?
The use Of the public structure for
the sectarian purpose OF a portion of
the community; the burning Of public
fuel, the assumption that what Is in
fact public property Is subject to the
invasion of dominant sect for It's
uses at VIII, is a public outrage as well
as a public robbery And 1t is subject
to the peril of Voiding the Insurance
