WHO PLAN UTOPIA

NEW YORK, May 2S.--A special
TO the Tribune from Atlantic City, ".
j., says Senator Dolliver of Iowa be-
fore Y. M. G. A. mass meeting yes
terday made a pointed attack on those
sociologists who purpose to deliver the
race from all care toll, burdens Snd
competition.
Those of my acquaintance" said
the Senator, who have reached this
desired haven are either deadheads
or the wards of Government institu-
tions''
He said the tendency of these
teachings was to produce drones and
declared some of the recent strug-
gles between labor and capital had
approached the ridiculous.
Ihe sociologists have missed the
philosophy of human life he contin-
ued. The law of labor, struggle, SER
vice and sacrifice is the mold in which
rugged manhood is made by achieve
ment. A contest is demanded to make
character. Ii you give boy $4,000
to start life with he does not start
He curls himself up on the doormat
and sleeps"
The questions of labor and capital
arrayed against each other and of the
disposition of 100000 negroes, SEN
ator Dolliver declared, would never
be settled by social scientists.
we have had some searching in
vestigations of the insurance compa-
MES and the railroads. he said, and
the embarrassing thing about them
is that the revelations are nearly all
true. These ills will be cured by the

RUSH Of WORK
IN POSTOFF|CE
Mails Show a Great Re-
vival in the tCity's
Business.
Forces Are Now Well
Organized for the
Situation.

The entire suspension Of the mail ser
vice In this city on April Is and 10 re.
suited In a heavy congestion of mail mat
ter of all classes on the morning of April
20. For some time thereafter the eff
ficiency of the force Was materially I'M
paired through the nervous condition OF
the men. resulting from constant fear
caused by the heavy blasting in the imme-
date vicinity of the building. There was
also heavy demand upon. the clerical
force by the neighboring cities, which re-
suited In the assignment of many clerks
and carriers TO other offices, materially
reducing the local force.
Preference was given TO handling first
class matter, but owing 10 the fact that
the majority of the mail was addressed TO
the burnt district and had TO be rehanded
many times upon forwarding orders, many
thousands of which have been fled, it was
impossible TO begin the movement of sec
ond, third and fourth class matter until
some time after the resumption of busi-
ness In order 10 relieve this condition an
order was issued increasing the daily tour
of duty of the entire clerical force until
the office was cleared of cOngested mat
ter. This has been accomplished and
the Office expects to keep up with the work
New stations have been established at
different points and have been equipped

The impression that because of the de
stfuction of three -fourths of the city lLy
fire the business of the local Postof6ce has
greatly decreased is erroneous. Post
ma ster Fisk reports that the mail delivery
is as heavy as before. The full force of
men is employed and working overtime.
One hundred and fifty thousand changes
of addresses have been regi istered. and. as
practically all mail received is addressed
to the old locations and must be for
warded. the Postofhce force has had a
gigantic task on its hands during the past
five weeks.

A BURNING QUESTION.

To the Editor OF. The Call:
1t has been estimated that the earth
quake of April 18th resulted in more or
less damage to chimneys in fifty-thous-
and houses in San Francisco. These
houses show an average of at least three
fiues. The last ordinance by the Super
visors provided for charge of one dollar
for each hue inspected. The Board of
Public Works says that an inspector can
examine eight houses daily, and the pay
of the inspectors is 81 per day. This
means that the board viii only have to
pay out 81 for every $24 collected. If all
pay up the board will collect $3.50, 900 at
cost Of S25 900 for inspection. The diff
ference between the two sums is an un-
necessary burden. But extravagant as is
the charge, the sum would have been
cheerfully paid weeks ago if the people
could have been given the use of their
chimneys. Hundreds of people had their
chimneys repaired and filed applications
to have the same inspected but the in
spection has not been done, and innumer-
able and unnecessary discamforts have
had to be endured because of the very
foolish rule adopted that no chimney can
be used until all are Inspected and all
cannot be inspected until the last dam
aged one has been repaired.
Unless l greatly misunderstood the tenn
per of the people, they will never submit
much longer to the enforcement of the
strict letters of that rule. They never
ought to have borne the delay as long
and as patiently as they have Persons
whose chimneys have been repaired
should insist on immediate inspection.
Those responsible for this long suspense
in a matter so essential to the sanitary
condition of the city have "A good deal
to answer for, and the suffering people

THINGS AND PEOPLE.
BY LOUISE WELLER.

1t is UP to the women, the home women,
for the Greater San Francisco.
More necessary today is she for the re-
building of San Francisco tnan any one
else.
Only she can make the one million in
1915 come true. 1t is a great, big. re-
sponsibie job, but the only ones who are
going to get out of 1t those who are
not big enough to undertake. it. And they
won't matter. No city can he great or
indulge in the prospect of greatness with
out its homes and families-without its
women.
No one knows it better than they.
Nearly every woman that fed from the
stricken city is sick with the longing for
it, do not believe one of them will he
really and truly happy until she gets back
to it again. The quiet of the suburban
towns has done much to restore many
women, whose nerves We're worn to a
fraZzle. Few want TO remember and none
will openly confess that in their unstrung
condition they cried that they would
never live in San Francisco again.
In another month there ought not to
be a TO let sign in our city.
There won't be!
For the next few years life in San
very different for the majority of the
women than the mere presiding over
| homes. The fire has depleted even the
fattest of purses and the gentler sex will
have to do its share toward the refilling
of the family exchequer. What better
way can there be for women to do this
than in the supervision of the home-in
the performance of her home duties?
Women in recent years have ipeen much
in the world S eye. and much evil think.
has come of the idea that women should
be wage earners. This. by the way i
ought to state. is an idea held almost en-
tirely by women. mere appears to be a
general revolt from kitchen life and it
seems that most women think that there
ought to be and that there is a way out
of it for all womankind. And so now,
though all our women want to help. they
don't seem to want to help where they
can help best and most.
/ have talked with dozens of women
since the great calamity, and three-quar-
ters of them have told me that they must
get out and do something. Almost every
one of these women, fired with the noble
praiseWorthy desire to help their loved
ones, is no longer young and has never
had to rub up" against the world. Not
one of them knows exactly what she
would do, but darkly alludes to her am
bition as something" Others are still
wagner and label their uesire as any
thing. All are quite positive, though,
that there is much for women to do in
the world much that woman has done.

edgment of favors received. But for what
the Centennial State has'don in addition
TO that. and for what her people are still
doing In the way of relieving San Fran

giving that San Francisco has been

Colorado's people are to great in benevo-
