Mr.. Roosevelt has become a fearsome
Socialist little too suddenly to be en-
tirely credible in that guise. He did,
indeed, ruin his carefully prepared
speech on the Man with the Muck
Rake" by chance phrase which made
him look to the unwary like the Man
with the Crowbar," ready to pry
over the pillars of society. AS a mere
lapse in taste this was deplorable
enough. His speech was wholly sacri-
ficed to one interjection. 1t was much
as if the preacher of a temperance
sermon had wound up by inviting all
his hearers to go out and take drink
with him. They would not remember
what had gone before. But we cannot
ourselves see in the presidents happy
thought proposal to limit private for
tunes the deliberate and formidable
political program which some are read
ing into it. We have had too many OF
his impulsive utterances before to be
unduly alarmed. His choice of text
from Bunyan should have suggested
the true character in which he appeared
on Saturday. One of the prototypes OF
our day whom the inspired tinker
saw in his dream" was Talkative. He
thus described his own Junction.:
"I will talk of things heavenly or
things earthly things moral or things
evangelical; things sacred or things
profane; things past or things to come;
things foreign or things at home;
things more essential or things circum-
stantial."
Thereupon Christian smiled, and
sagely remarked TO Faithful:
"This man with whom you are SO
taken, will beguile, with this tongue of
4 hat n inn
not"
In short, we are inclined to think
that those who know our presidential
Talkative will not be so much fright
ened as amused by his latest identifi-
cation of his own temporary personal
feeling with the policy which the ma
tion ought TO adopt permanently. lie
has gayly done the same thing many
times before, 1t does, indeed, require
certain pitch of presumption, rs
Burke said, for a man to think of his
country as merely piece of white
paper upon which to "scribble what
ever he pleases," but no one has ever
accused President Roosevelt of errine
through too great distrust of himself
A thing which appears to him over
night as really an excellent PROPOSE
ton, becomes ipso facto wise, feas'
| ible, constitutional. So 1t was with his
ready and confident proposal that con-
gress take over the regulation of life
| insurance. He thought it ought to be
done. and that was demonstration
enough But the house judiciary COM
mittee felt compelled to look into the
laws and constitution. and then unan
imously reported that the president
plan was absolutely unconstitutional
Since then he had made haste to "for
get it." So it would be with any othel
splendid idea which occurred to hin
yesterday and which he will abandon
| tomorrow.

ROMAN RELICS IN VIENNA

Some interesting Roman remains, in
the shape of two affairs, have just been
brought to light by workmen engaged
in digging the foundation for new
building in the central part of the city.
Twenty feet below the street level the
men came upon cylindrical cavity
filled with broken bricks and stones.
These were cleared out, and under
meath were found two small Roman
votive stones in very fair preservation.
, Both bore inscriptions, and one of
them was perfectly legible. 1t runs
as follows:
"Lovi optimo maXimo Lucius Lollius
Clarus pro Sc ct suis votum libens
solvit."
The inscription on the second stone
was partially defaced. Local archaeolo-
gists welcome the find, particularly as
regards the inscriptions, as these are
not very numerous among so far re-
covered remains of imperial Vindo-
bona.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The presidents recent address or
Muck Rake Journalism" lends inter-
est to the origin of figure
which is used to characterize
those writer's who are accused
of looking wholly for the faults
in public men and of passing by much
that is good in our system of govern
ment and in the representatives of the
people. The man with the Muck Rake
in the "Pilgrim's Progress" was one
whose mind was fixed on carnal things
and who could not be persuaded to lift
his eyes to the celestial joys which
might have been his.
Then ran Innocent in (for that was
her name). and said to those within,
Can you think what is at the door?
There is Christiana and her children,
and her companion, all waiting for en-
tentanment here. Then they leaped
for joy and went and told their Master.
So he came to the door. and. looking
upon her, he said, Art thou that Chris
tiana whom Christian, the good man,
left behind him when he took to a
pilgrims life?
Christiana-I am that woman who
was so hard hearted as to slight my
husbands troubles, and that left him
to go on his journey alone; and these
are his four children; but now [ also
am come, for I am convinced that no
way is right but this.
1nterpreter-Then is fulfilled that
which also is written of the man that
said to his son. Go work today in my
vineyard. And he said to his father, l
will not: but afterward he repented
and went" Matt. xxi. 2S, 29)
Then said Christiana, SO be it, Amen.
God made it true saying upon me,
and grant that I may be found at the
last of him in peace, without spot, and
bameless!
Interpreter-But why standest thou
thus at the door? Come in, thou daugh-
ter of Abraham. We were talking of
thee but now, for tidings have come to
us before, how thou art become pill
grim Come, children, come in; come,
maiden, come in. So he had them all
into the house.
So when they were within, they were
bidden sit down and rest them; the
which when they had done. those that
attended upon the pilgrims in the
house came into the room to see them.
And one smiled. and another smiled,
and they all smiled for joy that Chris
tiana was become pilgrim. They also

A GREATER SAN FRANCISCO

Before the fires of burning San
Francisco shall have cooled, new and
greater city will begin to rise from
the ashes.
| San Francisco was and still is a
| veritable storehouse of wealth. The
| vaults of the burned banking houses
are full to bursting with money-money
that cannot be reached for many
weeks or months to come, but which
is still there, and will become avail
able later on. Credit will be needed
| for a while, but after the first great
stress California money, San Francisco
money will rebuild San Francisco.
The people of that once great city
are descendants of the ArSonauts-
those men of great fortitude, patience
and courage who crossed the noun
tains and deserts from the Mississippi
valley and farther east to establish on
the Pacific shores a commonwealth
which lowers its flag to no state or
country on earth; native sons, whose
fathers were also native sons and part
and parcel of the great accomplish
ments in this state.
These are the people who will re-
build San Francisco. Descendants of
men and women of courage to meet
the occasion. They have already passed
bravely through an ordeal rarely en-
dured and are already bracing them
selves for the restoration. Blood will
tell. The courage of father and mother
is inheritable. 1t may run sluggishly
at times, but it responds quickly to
great demands and special occasions.
With ample courage, therefore, and
eventually an abundance of cash, San
Francisco is destined to astonish the
world by the quickness of its recovery.
1t is we'll to consider. also, that acts
of Providence-earthquak and fire
have destroyed the sore and sorry weak
spots of San Francisco. If the palatial
office buildings are gone, so also are
the rookeries; if the splendid hotels
are in ruins, so are the disreputable
lodging houses. Chinatown is no more,
and it's degrading sights will never
again be a feature of the California
metropolis. "Barbary Coast" was COM
pletely wiped out, and all the things
which were a source of modification
to the good people of San Francisco
are gone-never, let us hope, to return.
The opportunity is now presented for
the building of a San Francisco that
will attract admiration from all cities
as a twentieth century wonder, and
make every Californian again glad that
he is a Californian.
Will the San Francisco capitalists
and merchants rebuild San Francisco?
Why, of course. It's i'll the blood.
And you can rest assured that Los
Angeles capital will not be very far
away when the work of reconstruction
begins. We are still at the pleasure
of our northern brethren.

HATCHING EGGS IN THE MOUTH

Some curious examples of the egg
LAYING habits of certain frogs are here
given. The female of one species-a
species of which was recently exhibited
at a meeting of the geological society
carries the eggs about in her mouth
until they are Matched. When the young
emerge they are not tadpoles, but fully
formed, though of course, diminutive
frogs.
AT American tree frog, again, has a
pouch along the whole extent of its
back in which the eggs are carried until
hatched. 1t is the Nototrema rarsupia-
tum of biologists, the name referring
to this curious habit. The case of the
Surinam toad is equally curious. In this
species the male places the eggs, one
by one, in llollows in the loose skin on
the back of the female, where they are
deyeloped.-London Globe.

WHAT OWL CARS COULD DO

"Rich gifts wax poor when givers
prove unkind."
This city is hearty in its approval of
the spirit that prompted it's principal
street railway magnate to give $4,000
TO the san Francisco relief fund 1t
was a princely charity quickly and
lavisnly proffered, and it will do untold
good.
But at the same time Los Angeles
wishes that Mr.. Huntington could see
his way clear to being as kind to his
own city as he has been to its stricken
slster-especially as that kindness
would immensely facilitate this city's
own efforts at charitable work.
Los Angeles is positively suffering for
owl car service. It's own task of love
this past week has been terribly ham
pered by the lack of any car service
after midnight Willing workers nave
had to drop their labors at the stroke
of II, often when short while longer
would have seen stupendous tasks ac-
complished and tons of food and cloth
ing on their way to succor the unfor-
tunate and save imperiled lives. An
owl car service would have provided
other shifts of men or permitted the
workers to keep on till their tasks were
done
AS it was, they had to quit in order tc
get home and snatch the rest they re-
quired, or stay down town all night
and be unfit for the demands upon them
next day. Many man in Los Angeles
slept in his clothes on the floor night
after night last week simply for lacE
of car service after II p. m. because hi
was too heroic to run for midnight
car.
These facts ought to go home to oui
street railway magnate. They ought tC
impress upon him the needs of his owl
city in a new way. He may care little
for its convenience; he does care $10,'
900 worth for the suffering In San Fran
cisco. He could have increased the
good he wished to do for the stricken
city MANIFOLD by providing proper ia
cilities for late workers in his owr
town. People can't eat $4,000, but they
could have saved their lives with the
provisions that Los Angeles might have
sent them had a car service after mid.

DOMESTIC IMPERIALISM

The woman of the day has become
reckless; the lever has been moved to
"full speed, forward" regardless of
consequences. 1t is millions she re-
quires; it is IL quick journey from the
suburbs to st. James, with few stops
on the way, and the ordinary man is
not in position to travel the distance
and at the speed. He specuates, pecu-
lates, abandons principle after prin-
ciple, becomes entangled in difficulties
and detached from his habits and con-
sequently from his home. few sue
ceed, but they are not happy; many
fail, and they are wretched. 1t is "im-
perialism" in private life, and the col
lapse caused by the one form of this
must occur from the other.-London
