GOOD WITHOUT SALOONS.

A recent number OF the San Francis
co Chronicle, Just received states that
crime Is almost unknown In the city
now, as far as known to the public.
There are no street brawls, no cases
OF drunkenness and brutality, no MUIR
der in low resorts. Some cases of theft
have occupied the courts, but no serious
disorders.
This enviahle condition Is ascrbed
to the closing OF the saloons, and II is
pointed TO as an evidence OF the value
to community OF restricted liquor
traffic. II the deductions of the Chron-
icle are correct as they seem to be, no
more conclusive demonstration Of the
curse Of the saloon business could be
given what It costs the taxpayers

THE CARS OPPORTUNITY.

1t Is gratifying to notice that the So
called constitutional democrats of Rus
STA have secured large majority in
the assembly that is to meet shortly or
316 seats IN the Douma they have 2lS
with 96 still to be filled In Russia and
80 in Poland. The large number Of seats
secured by these conservative delegates
Is guarantee that no extremely radi-
cal measures win be attempted--noth

ton, and Will sanction provided he is
DESTROYS OF being In harmony with the
best element Of the nation.
But the change Of ministry at this
time is not an encouraging sign, The
successor Of Count de Witte Goremy-
kin is said to be reactionary, mere
tool Of the aristocrats, incapable Of
taking the lead in any forward move
ment A few years ago he was minis
ter OF the interior and made It his
duty to keep all disagreeable news
from the Car For that reason he was
exposed by NJ. Witte. Goremyklns
revenge came In 1903, when the reac-
tIonary cabal OF Plehve drove White out
Of office. He has been called the enemy
OF NJ. Wltte, and that is probably not q
too strong appellation.
II the report Is true, his elevation TO
the office OF premier at this time must
mean that the Car contemplates war
with the Douma from the outset. But
the Russian people do not appear to be
in compliant mood Just now. II the

MAYOR sCHMITz.
Boston Herald.

Mayor Schmitz OF San Francisco is a
labor leader. and he was elected to
Office by The labor vote. He had been
nicknamed the fiddler" we do not
know for what specific reason. II Is
apparent, however, that he did not nd
die while his city was burning. Ac-
cording to the reports that have come
East since the earthquake, Mayor
Schmitz has done his duty In the hard
conditions faithfully and with excellent
discretion. He has seemed equal to
the occasion in every way. and has
earned the respect OF the country. This
Is a matter OF congratulation II he had
been weak incable. mere dema-
gogue without judgment or courage,
the people would have been most un-
fortunate. No reports that we have
seen make any unfavorable reflections
on his course, and certainly the cir
cumstances have subjected his quality
as an executive to supreme test.

THE WORLDS OPINION.

Tho New York world OF May has
an editorial which voices the opinions
of conservative and legal minds, IRE.
spectlve OF partisan considerations.
From the attitude OF the majority OF
the Senate committee on privileges and
elections IN the case OF Reed smoot, It
Il evident that they are opposed to the
exclusion theory Of Senators Burrows
and Dubois. but most of them al least
favor the proposition to unseat him.
il Is not clear however. that ma
jorlty OF the whole committee will sup
port the proposition now under con-
slderation, and which Is 20 be taken up

the rights OF all religions have arisen

sentiments find expression in articles

RISE IN PRICES.

An instructive Article on the cost Of
living IN this country ut present. as
compared to Ave years ago, appears In
the Bulletin for March issued by the
Bureau OF Labor The statistics there
given, It is needless to say, have been
gathered with the utmost care and
they can therefore be considered rell-
able. No attempt Is made to account
for the rise and fall IN prices, but these
are simply given as prevailing IN the
market They prove that the average
prices on all commodities reached
higher point in 1905 than at any other
time for sixeten years During the
first three months OF the year the ten
deney was downwards, but from the
month OF April the rise was steady I'M

prices reached tho highest point In
December they were 1913 per cent

According to last years crop reports
for the three provinces OF Manitoba,
Alberta and saskatchewan, In Canada.
the entire crops were: Wheat, s4,l75.-
22s bushels; oats. Ti.2li, $50 bushels;
barley 1871 ass bushels, and fax, 49,
700 bushels These yields are distribut-
ed thus:

An interesting feature Of the report
is that for tho first time 1t shows a
considerable area devoted to winter
wheat. The province Of Alberta re-
ports 32l1i acres In the winter wheat
crop that was harvested in 1905 with a
total yield of es9.O9l bushels. being an
average OF q Al bushels per acre. The
spring wheat area IN the same province
ls now only little more than twice
that OF winter wheat being 1888
acres The average Yield OF spring
wheat In Alberta was alag bushels. The
largest yield of winter wheat per acre
reported In this province was in the
Calgary district where the yield was
32.1S bushels per acre, The same dis
trict was also so fortunate as to have
the largest Yield OF suring wheat.
namely, 80 80 bushels TO the acre.
The total OF the entire crop report
amounts. II viii be noticed, to nearly
200, 000. 900 bushels. In 1890 the total
yield OF the same area was In the
neighborhood Of 35,00O00O bushels only.
That shows the giant strides in de-
velopment taken during the last few
years. and Alberta, with its Mormon"

It does not appear that wages Of la
