has filled the columns of the
newspapers for the past week

some time to come. 1t must be
remembered that the train load
after train load of supplies that
are being rushed to the strick-
en- city will not be sufficient to
feed the hungry until they are
able to provide for themselves.
1t would seem that some of the
supplies should be held back
and forwarded when they
could be used to better advan-
tage, for the capacity of the
temporary warehouses are pre-
sumably limited.

There need be no cries of
distress from the unemployed
men in the United States this
summer or for some time to
come. With the destruction of
San Francisco and neighboring
towns and the extension of two
or three railroads from the
Missouri river to the Pacific
coast, there will be work er olgh

Inecessaries of life. AS a rule
the idle people and the ones
who make the most complaint
are those without ambition or
brains. They stand around
and argue politics or religion
while the other men work, and
then wonder why commodities
are so high. Remember the
story of the "devil and the idle
hands,"
