MAXIM GORKY,S MISSION.

Much as the American people adj
mire the ardent patriotism of Maxim
GOrky they question the sanity of his
present proceedings. The Russian
people have made great progress in
the past year. They have wrung from
the autocracy important concessions.
The car has promised to share the
government with his people. He has
called a parliament and the people
are busy electing their representatives
to the douma which will soon meet
1t is pretty nearly up to the Russian
people to show their capacity for
legislating before further calls are
made on the sympathy or support of
the world. AS to raising money to
overthrow the government which is
Gorky's avowed purpose, it seems a
non sequitur when the government is
being turned over to the people.
Mr. Gorky may not believe the
promises of the car: he may have
no faith in the good intentions Of the
government, but the American people
are not necessarily of that opinion.
They are hopeful of the outcome in
Russia. They believe in giving the
car and his counselors a fair chance.
Gorky will find that the American
people are not revolutioniSts, but
evOlutionists in government, notwith-
standing our national existence sprang
from a revolution He may find in a
country as large as this, sympathiz-
ers with his ideas who will even back
them with money but the longer he
stays here the more he will realize
that these persons do not represent
America.

pared with the experiences Of his great
prototype, Elijah. It.: is recalled that
when the. first Elijah had his troubles
with Ahab and the prophets of Baal,
he had no Auditorium Annex whereto
to betake himself, but was forced to
hustle off to the brook .Cherith and get
such provisions as were miraculously
bestowed. But he contrived to make
good for all that, and there is a gen.
eral feeling of satisfaction in the rec
objection that he got even with Ahab
and, returning, slew $50 false prophets,
which was more certain than our meth
cd nowadays of having recourse to
litigation. Not only this, but Elijah
had the pleasure of seeing fifty men
sent to prosecute him consumed by
fire, and as a browning reward of his
efforts he himself was whirled heaven
ward in a chariot of fire. All of this
must be extremely comforting to DR..
Dowie as he pictures to himself the
advantages of the modern Elijah in a
first class hotel, with a hopeful feeling
that, despite their reverses, all the
Elijahs come out on top in the end.
Let the Ahabs continue to tremble.

MEDICINE FOR CAMPERS.

asw to Treat Wounds and Cuts
When Camping Out.
Those who camp out in the summer
Or take long trips through the woods
will get some useful suggestions in the
following article from Forest and
Stream:
Did you ever notice how awkward
one always is with his hands the first
two or three days on a trip in the
woods? Fingers seem to get in the
way Of every ak, knife, fire, splinter or
thorn encountered, and the result is
pair Of hands more or less damaged.
Adhesive plaster is good, but have
found compound made as follows
most useful and comforting: Equal
parts by weight of Japan wax, mutton
tallow and vaseline melted together.
While warm add half as much glycerin.
Fill a metal primer box with this. and
at night rub it we'll into the hands. It
is neither sticky nor unpleasant and
will cure damaged hands or chapped
lips very quickly. l have never tried
it, but II raw linseed oil will mix
readily with this compound it will be
found advantageous. Rubbing it alone
on the hands is a good plan; but, while
It heals quickly, all surplus must be
rubbed of or It will ruin any fabric
with which 1t comes into contact and
can never be removed in any ordinary
way. 4sf
Tincture grindelia should never be
omitted, as it is rapid and certain
cure for ivy poison and will alleviate
the suffering induced by the bites Of
chiggers, sand flies and mosquitoes.
consider it the most valuable item in
ones ditty box for summer trips.
A three ounce bottle Of equal parts
linseed oil and limewater Is worth its
weight in gold for sunburn and for Or
binary burns as we'll An ounce bottle
of chloroform will surely drive CHG
gers and ticks away. Lacking this,
use grain or wood alcohol. Either one
must be applied locally, for these pests
are not removed by ordinary means.
A tiny tin box Of mercurial ointment
will prevent rust in flrearm barrels in
which nitro powders are shot If the
barrel is cleaned thoroughly before ap-
plying the ointment on a cloth patch.
In places where sand flies and ticks
are bad it will prove the right thing for
the occasion, though not pleasant to
apply to ones person.
Shellac or spar varnish will keep

lin. A reserve supply Of matches, the
heads Of which have been dipped In

medicine when everything Is wet.

How to Kill Dandelious.

In regard to the trouble owners of
lawns and grass plots have in keeping
them free from the pestiferious dande-
lion, benevolent citizen who has eX-
perienced lots Of this trouble writes
to the Portland Oregonian to say that
many people bring more Of this trouble
on themselves by trying to extermi-
nate dandelions by cutting the plant
off just below the ground. A great
deal Of this is done early in the spring
by people collecting dandelion plants
for green's they being an excellent
and wholesome pot herb. This, it is
said, does not kill the plant, but causes
each root to throw out several shoots
and thus multiplies the number Of dan
delions. The correspondent mentioned
writes to impress his fellow sufferers
that if when they cut off the dandelion
plant below the ground they will drop
a pinch of salt or teaspoonful Of coal
oil on the root left in the ground it
will effectually kill 1t. This may seem
a troublesome job, but to one who is
set on keeping his grass plot clear of
dandelions it will in the end save a
lot of trouble.

PUZZLED SAINTS.

The Reorganized Church of Latter
Day Saints is in a pickle over a reve-
lation from the Lord in regard to the
establishing of sanitorium at INDIE
pendence, Iowa. It seems that the rev.
elation was mae vera expleecit" as to
the time and place of building. style
of architecture and administrative
regulations, and the Latter Day Saints
are praying for new revelation which
will amend the former. act in these
important particulars.
The Recognized Latter Day Saints
should remember that the Lord helps
those who help themselves. If there
is need of a sanitorium and an order
for it there ought to be enough gump-
ton somewhere to locate and run it.

BAILEY CONVERTS HALE.

Evidently Senator Bailey was not
frightened firm his position on the
rate bill by the great weight of Knox
and Spooner as constitutional lawyers.
Instead he came back at them with
four hours speech, in which he won
the complete adhesion of Senator Hale
to his views, and the applause Of the
entire senate for the brilliance of his
performance. Senator Bailey's con-
tention is and has been that con-
gress. the creator of the inferior courts,
had and still holds the power to re-
strict them Congress could wipe them
out. Congress had limited their juris-
diction at times and could do it again.
Congress was not limited by the
courts, but the courts were limited by
congress. The doctrine that the
courts could by judicial interpreta-
ton wipe out legislation of congress
be held to be true anarchy. 1t was
a case of a creature controlling it's
creator His points he reinforced
from many decisions, ranging from
Chief Justice Marshall down to the
present day.
AS far as the rate bill is concerned,
Senator Bailey offers to amend 1t by
providing that the courts shall issue
no temporary injunctions suspending
the action of the commission and that
it's action shall stand until there is fin
al decision. This practically brings
the final adjudication OF rates to the
supreme court without the interven-
ton of other courts. Senator Bailey
believed this would not work an in
justice to any one, but would rather
tend to the prompt prosecution of
suits. So far as the rights of the rail-
roads, in case they overthrow a COM
mission rate were concerned he con-
sidered it more convenient for a rail-
road to sue 10000 shippers than for
10000 shippers to sue a railroad in
the other case. At any rate he be-
lieved if it was equitable for a rail-
road to take private property and hold
it under a decision of the courts as to
it's value. it was equitable for the
shipper to hold the property Of the
railroad until the final court had de-
cided the title.
At the conclusion of Senator Bailey S
speech Senator Hale said he had re-
ceived a great deal of light. He was
ready to vote that the decisions of the
interstate commission should not be
interfered with by injunctiOns of the
inferior courts. This was a notable
conversion from the New England
group of senators who have been
credited with being against rate legis-
latiOn altogether.

How to Get Into 4 Han0Om.

When two persons are about to get
into a hanson common pOliteness
prompts the first one to leave the seat
nearest to the pavement vacant 30 that
the second person may be able to enter
easily. This Is the theory Of the thing.
but practical experience tells one that
1t is easier for any one getting into a
hanson when some one else Is already
there to take the seat farthest from the
pavement than to take the one on the
offside. Therefore If you are the first
to get into a hanson take the seat
nearest to the pavement, and your COM
panion will easily be able to cross over
you to get to the other seat.

THE SAN FRANCISCO DISASTER.

While the appalling disaster that
has overtaken the rich, proud and
beautiful city of San Francisco, the
metropolis Of the western half of the
United States, is one of the worst ca
lamities that has ever befallen any
American city, it is by no means the
worst measured by the loss of life,
although the property loss is no doubt
greater than has been suffered in any
other case. Instead of ten thousand
people having persisted, as reported
yesterday, it is now estimated by
General Funston that the loss of life
does not exceed 1000 and others well
informed say that it may not exceed
$50.
At Galveston, Texas, a few years
ago, a tidal wave from the gulf
snuffed out the lives of eight thousand
people and destroyed property valued
at s4O.0OO,Oo0.
At Charleston. S. c.. not many years
ago an earthquake killed between 5000
and 1000 people and destroyed prop
erty worth many millions. .'
From 1908 to 1872 earthquake shocks
at New Madrid. Missouri, did consid-
cradle damage to property and killed
scores of people.
In 1872 Caracas in Venezuela was
destroyed by an earthquake. killing
thousands of people and running prop
erty of enormous value.
About 1855 Lisbon. Portugal. was
rent by an earthquake. 1t is said that
sixty thousand people rushed to the
marble quay for safety. and a tidal
wave coming in from the sea buried
them all forever. Besides many other
quake shocks.
In 10 A. d. Pompeii and Herculan-
GULL PpPuiouS CItltS VI 1tdlN. were
stroyed by an eruption of Mt Vesu-
vius

must have swallowed up many thou
value.
The Johnston. Pa, flood destroyed
over three thousand lives and millions
of dollars worth of property
The eruption of Mt Pelee two years
ago killed about 10000 people.
In Japan and other islands of the
Pacific many thousands of people have
lost their lives from earthquakes. In
Japan the people have learned to build
houses not more than two stories in
height and most of them are only one
story in height, being made of bamboo
paper and other light materials. San
Francisco is situated in an active VOL
canic belt, and if people are to live
there in safety they will be under the
necessity of initiating the building
methods of Japan. 1t is reported that
every brick structure in San Francis
co is wrecked and that steel structures
are the only ones that stood the shock
without serious damage
The disasters recounted in this .arti-
Gle are told from mere recollection of
facts read about long ago. no book of
reference now being at hand But
enough is shown to prove that the
reckless statements made by some
poorly informed writer's to the effect
that the San Francisco catastrophe lis |
the greatest in the history of the
world are wildly exaggerated. 1t is !
certainly the greatest in the history of |
the Pacific coast since it was settled |
by white men. and it is bad enough
