VERY MUCH TO THE POINT.

In one of his recent public adj
dresses Governor Davidson said:
The greatest question, in my judg-
ment, now before the people of Wis
consin is the question of public
service corporation supervision.
stand for legislation, and | pledge
my best efforts to obtain it, which
will place these insolvent creatures
Of this state in the position where
they shall be subject to and not
above the law. I do not under
take to say at this time whether it
would be better to place these
corporations under state or NUM-
cipal control, but do say emphati-
cally that some system of con-
trolling them should be devised,
and I further say that some system
will be devised, if I am nominated
at the coming primaries and elected
in November"
What could be fairer, more
emphatic, and more direct to the
point with relation to the great
question which is apparently upper
most in the minds of the people Of
this state at the present time? Not
even Senator La Toilette himself
could express himself more decided
~ in favor Of reform" than has
Governor Davidson in this enucia-
ton of principle that is in harmony
with every argument that can be
made for progress and advancement.
1t forestalls Immediately all critic
ism that the present governor is a
weak" man, that he is lacking in
independence and ability, and that
he will allow the progress already
attained to be lost. It indicates,
moreover, that Senator La Toilette
is not disclosing his true reasons Tor
opposing Davidson and favoring the
candidacy of Lenroot, -favorlng
the latter SO strongly and incon-
Bistently with his own previous
declarations til at he is skurrying up
and down the state to accomplish
his object In a word it reveals
that if the senator were fair and
unprejudiced he would see as many
good qualities in Governor David
son as he processes to see IN his per
sOnal friend LenrOOt.
The Republicans Of the state will
soon be called on to decide between
these two men for state leadership.
And III the light of the plain state
ments Of Governor Davidson they
can scarcely feel they will make
any mistake in choosing him to
succeed himself in the office of chief
executive.

The day has gone by. when the
man who accepts party nomina-
ton and becomes an Office holder
has any reason to feel pulled UP for
he is simply the servant Of one Of
the most tickle of masters, the
exacting public, and instead of lead
ing them, the people, he must bow
to the will of his constituents or he
will lose his job. There is not much
glory in Office holding when a man
must be an abject servant and feel
that he is not a leader, simply a
hired man to be ordered here and
there and make to feel his utter
dependence upon the whims of the
public as influenced by jealous
rivals. If man gets any glory out
of Office holding he must do some
thing besides pose as a statesman
and look wise, he must do some
thing that the people can see as be-
ing for their benefit. Roosevelt
is popular because he has done
something that all are compelled to
confess as being for the good Of all
the people, and now that the
standard of craftsmanship has heen
revised by him, the exacting public
will be satisfied with nothing short
of it.

LaFollette has grown SO accustomed
to the function of saving the peo-
pie that it has become a habit, or
even a passion. He may feel the
impulse and the yearning to save
the people IN years when the peo-
pie are not in danger and do not
need to be saved.

MIssOURI'S SHAME.

Gov. Folks record in the past
gives assurance that when he says
he WILL endeavor to seek ont and

great respect for the law and
loathing for the lawbreaker, so he
must be filled with indignation by
the spectacle of the outrage COM

SAN FRANCISCO WRECKED.
Life and Property Destroyed by an
Earthquake.

Earthquake.
San Francisco, April 18.-San
Francisco was practically wrecked
by an earthquake at $40 O'Clock
this morning. The shock lasted
three minutes and thousands of
buildings were damaged and de-
stroyed.
The loss of life isreported great.
There is no water and fires are
breaking out all over the city. All
wires with the exception of one
are gone. The city hall costing
seven millions is in ruins. Modern
buildings suffered less than brick
and frame.
The terror and excitement is in
describable. Most people were
asleep and rushed into the streets
undressed. The buildings swayed
and crashed burying the occupants.
There was a panic in the down
town hotels. The Lick House is
badly damaged but no loss of life
there is reported.
AS reports come in the magni
tude of the disaster grows. Fires
are raging in all directions and
people are moving out of the down
town section.
The loss of life may reach into
the hundreds, and millions of dol
lars worth of property is de-
stroyed.
The Palace Hotel and ST. Fran
els Hotel stood the shock. The
people flocked to the telegraph of
fees to send messages to friends
and were frantic because there
were no wires. The greatest dam
age to buildings was south of
Market street, where mostly frame
buildings and tenement houses
were located. There were fires in
every block in that district.

feet wide, and entire sidewalks are
torn up. The street car tracks are
badly twisted all through the
southern section of the city, and
traffic is at a standstill.
At the Southern Pacific Hospital

the use of the patients. Many
people suffering from injuries are

they have not been injured. AS
