On the first day of his speech in the Senate, Mir. LaFollette noticed that some of his col leagues had left the chamber. He defied all precedents by com
 menting on the fact. He had the audacity to say that if his fellow statesmen would not listen to him the public would do so and that the temporary absentees presently might find themselves obliged to be absent permanently. At the close of his address he went further practical ly assuring the Senate that if it did not like the attacks of re- formers and exposers it should keep its record free from repro ach. The fact that after this un- parrelled exhibition ofcontumeli- ousness the Wisconsin Senator remains alive and in fighting trim, is suggestive if not inspir- ing. Notwithstanding the blows to Senatorial courtesy the Sen ate walls did not fall nor did the ceiling drop. The object lesson thus afforded may prove highly useful later on in case other sen- ators who care less for tradition than for the peoples welfare, take advantage of the precedent established by Mir. LaFollette.

All the railroad lines are carrv.. ing refugees from San Francisco free of cost as far east as Chica- go, are carrying supplies into San Francisco free of cost, and the Southern Pacific has offered its services free in removing the debris from the streets of the fal- len city. The express companies are carrying packages and mon- ey free to the people, and the tele- graph companies make no charg- es for transmitting messages. This proves that while corpora tons have no souls, the men at the head of them have, and are very much like other men.

Relief Measures Reduced

What to do with the immense amount of money which has been contributed for the relief of the San Francisco homeless was a question that received earnest consideration by all those now engaged in the all important work of caring for them. So many inquiries have been sent to the heads of the various depart ments, civil and military. asking how and by whom the money so generously contributed will be expended, that the Associated Press has been asked to commun. icate to the country at large the plan for disbursing these funds and the assurance that every dol lar will be put to use for which 1t is intended.
