While the San Francisco disaster has
entailed untold suffering, and com
pletely ruined thousands, and dis
turbed the business interests of the
entire state to an extent that will be
telt for years to come, still in the long
run it will turn out for the good of
the stricken city, and may be for the
whole state. The fire will enable the
city to purge itself of a number of
plague spots, not the least of which
was the unsightly Chinese quarter in
the heart of the business district. This
certainly will never be tolerated in
the greater San Francisco of the near
future. The blow will have a SOLDERING
and steadying effect in many ways.
The disposition to jump upon all large
money enterprises, which notwith-
standing the city's marvellous growth
of the last few years, has unquestlon-
ably kept millions from investment
therein, will not be popular hereafter.
This play to the galleries INDUCED in
by the yellow press, has been played
to finish. Another tune will be sung.
Capital Will be looked upon as a
friend, and not as a foe. Big enter
prises Will be encouraged, for without
them the city cannot regain its former
splendor. Retrenchment in municipal
expenditures must be practiced. Shorn
OF large percentage of her revenue,
a reconstruction of her financial sys-
tenn is Imperative. This will mean the
reign of the politician will be ended
for time, and sound business meth
ods adopted. Rigid economy must be
substituted for extravaganza. Graft
must be thrust into the background.
Theories must be abandoned for the
sterner necessities imposed by the
conditions. OF course she will recover
and that speedily. Old San Francisco
is thing of the past, and the new
one to arise from its ashes will be
purified by fire-politlcaIly, socially,
and financially.

ABOUT calling an extra session. \
committee of lawyers are trying TO
agree on the proposition of lust what
remedial laws should be passed to

seems to us that c the utmost that
could be done by special session
would be the passage of some con-

In the way of separate private resi-

In this connection the new dwelling
