the earthquake was reported today from Bolinas Bay, the first inlet on the coast north of San Francisco. where the violence of the shock appears to have been greater than at any other point. The earth was split open for twenty miles parallel to the shore, and In places the cleft was several feet wide and apparently hundreds of feet deep.
 John K. Orr, a wealthy landowner. has returned to his home in Berkeley from a trip of investigation. He waited upon President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the State University. sug- gesting that scientists should be sent at once to Bolinas Bay.

 When Capt Sarang Hodah Bin Hal lal and his fifty-three orthodox Lascars left Calcutta, the cargo consisted of two big sacred white elephants, one orr dinary elephant and 500 assorted ser pents for a New York animal dealer. The white elephants were objects of great reverence to the Lascars, who painted them with half moons and ris- ing suns.
 In a slant of icy weather in the In- dian Ocean the sacred elephants died and were heaved overheard. Three nights later a big python climbed into the rigging and embraced Lascar.
 Capt. Bin Hallal laid on with be- laying pin. while his crew hacked at the python with knives until they freed the victim. The man lay unconscious until Port Said was reached and he was sent ashore with his ribs crushed.

THE QUESTION OF RIGHT.

Every attempt to legislate in the
interests of the laboring man is
met with the declaration that it is
an interference with the rights of
OF property. How would property
he created but for labor? And
who will say that the man who
furnishes the capital should be per-
mltted to decide without appeal
the conditions upon which property
shall be created by those who labor
for him! We often hear it asked
by the manufacturer:
"Have I not the right to manage
my own business ~ That is not
the question. If the manufacture,
will set himself to work to produce
something with his own hands.
nobody will question his right to
control his own business. BIT
something more is implied by this
question. If he would put the
question fairly, he would ask, not.
''Have l not the right to manage
my own business ~ but. rather
''Have l not the right. in manae-
ing my business, to regulate the
l1ves, the liberty, the hopes. the
happiness of those whom / en-
ploy But to ask the question
IN this form would be to suggest a

negative answer, while he demands
an affirmative answer.
Those who claim the right to ar
bitrarily demand the hours, the
wages and the conditions of labor
demand the right to arbitrarily de-
termine the status of the laboring
man and to fix the conditions that
are to surround him and his pos
terity. 1t is an Interference with
property rights to demand that the
laboring man shall have a fair
share of the proceeds of his own
toil-a fair share of the property
which he creates! HIS right to
accumulate property should not be
ignored. Not only should he be
allowed to accumulate property,
but he should have leisure to en-.
able him to enjoy communion with
his own family and to fit himself
for intelligent participation in the
affairs of his government. BY
what authority will the capitalist
put his claim to larger dividends
above the rights of the wage earn,

STRIKING AND PERTINENT TRUTHS

a contemporary writer asks: SIS
the material progress of the pres
emit century cradle or a grave!''
and among his comments we find
the following striking and peril
nent truths:
''Ihere is a general struggle in
which each one strives to get the
most, needless of the misery of
others. We trade upon the weak
nesSes, the vices and the follies of
our fellowmen, and every attempt
at reform is met by an army of up
holders of abuse. When we con
slider the murders, the suicides, the
divorces, the adultcries, the pros
titutions, the brawls, the drunken
ness, the dishonestics, the political
and official corruptions, of which
our life. is full, it is difficult to
have complacent thoughts of our
selves. Consider, too, our prisons,
our insane asylums. our poor hous-
es; the multitudes of old men and
women who, having worn out
strength and health in toll which
barely gave them food and raiment,
are thrust aside, no longer now fit
to be bought and sold; the count
less young people who have, as we
say, been educated, but who have
not been taught the principles and
habits which lead to honorable liv-
ing; the thousands in our great
cities who are driven into surround
ings which pervert and undermine
character. And worse still, the
good, instead of uniting to labor
for better state of things, misun.
deIstand and thwart one another.
They divide into parties are jcal-
Gus and contentious, and waste
their time and exhaust their
strength in foolish and futile con
troversies. They are not anxious
that good be done, nor asking nor
caring by whom: but they seek
credit for themselves, and while
they seem to be laboring for the
general welfare, are striving rather
to satisfy their own selfish vanity"
This is indeed Il sad and gloomy
picture to look upon; but language
could not portray Il truer one.
Viewed in the light of recent
revelations concerning the methods
of our material progress, there is
much evidence to substantiate the
assertion that it is the grave of all
that makes for honest manhood.
pure citizenship, noble life and the
general wellbeing of the people.
Material progress is desirable. but
present dishonest and degrading
accomplishments are not necessary,
and should he eliminated. The
Influences that are working to
eliminate these corrupt and cor
ruptlng conditions (among which
we find organized labor) are grow.
ing stronger each day, md the
future, therefore, holds brighter
prospect.
