DON'T JUDGE HASTILY!

Much Indignation is expressed by
many people on reading of the rash

loss OF life through an earthquake,
as far as the records show, was that
which occurred AT Yeddo japan. in 1903
when zoo, 900 lives were lost In the earth-
quake at Pekin. about 80 years later
100000 people persisted. The SAN Fran

thing like these, IN the logs Of life, but
when the destruction of property is
considered. II is the most appalling In

COMPARATIVE FIGURES.

The present century has already gone
on record with several disastrous cata-
clysms. some even more appalling
when the loss of life is considered, than
the san Francisco disaster The
total loss Of life from the eruption Of
Mt. Pelee In 1902, was estimated at no
less than 10000. In 1905 there was an
earthquake IN India, in which $1,000 hui
man beings were thought to have per-
ished The earthquakes in Calabrla, IN
Italy, and in Albania, last year also
resulted in the loss OF hundreds of
lives.
Since the beginning OF 1905 there has
hardly been a month entirely free from
disturbances OF one kind or another
About the time OF the earthquake In
India there was marked activity In
the volcano Of Kilauea, Hawaii and
a slight renewal of eruptlons from Mt
Pelee, This years disturbances COM
menced in January, when the town Of
Masay, Nicaragua, was wrecked by
SGT '0 Va val AN'lAANNNs ANh llNfN were
lost but property was destroyed worth
$500 600. The inhabitants He'd. Tremors
were felt all over the world People in
Michigan and the New England states

coincident with and following the Mic
aragua earthquake, severe shocks were
felt. particularly In Ecuador, The rec
ord, II complete. would be significant
In the highest degree.
Such calamities are. however. not new
IN the history Of the human race al
though the frequency seems to be pecu-
liar to our time To go no further back
than the year 1881, when the first earth
quake at Lisbon occurred, 10000 lives
We're lost in that catastrophe. Then
Lisbon was safe FOR PA years. but In
the year 1855 another shock was ex-
perlenced. This was followed by n H.

TWO VIEWS.

Maxim Gorky, who has become prom.
inent In public view IN this country,
has his peculiar notions about the ca
tastrophe that has visited San Francis

York American he says, in part

"Misfortunes must teach us brother

pend on nature and It's mysterious pow

family, in family OF fighters with ma.

NO RACE WAR.

A speaker in a Chicago church. the
other day IL quoted as having advised
the audience, which presumably con-
sisted Of negroes. to carry arms and
anticipate the white man In his devil
try" The occasion for the speech was
meeting called to protest against the
recent mob violence at Springfield,
Mo.
It must be admitted that such oc-
currences as the Springfield murder
are likely to try the patience of the
colored population to the utmost, but
such advice as that given on the oc-
casion referred to is. nevertheless. the
worst that could be offered II It Is fol-
lowed it will mean race war
The people to which the victims of
race-hatred belong should have re-
course to the courts, and fight their
battles with legal means In that they
would have the sympathy Of the, vast
majority OF American citizens At the
same meeting resolutions were adopted
urging the President to take steps for
the protection of the colored race from
destruction. That Is better, But what
is needed especially is general
awakening of the American sentiment
against the atrocities that have been
perpctrated, and IN favor of fair play.
The stamping out OF the crime Of
lynching is one Of the great duties of
the day. It Is an obligation that cam
not be shirked with impunty Amer
can soil should not be stained with the
blood of innocent victims The wllful
violation Of law and order is sure to re-
suit In disastrous consequences.
