Salt Lake City.-Four soldiers ter
rorized the passengers on en- East Sec

firing half a dozen shots while stand
ing on the rear platform, creating a
panic among the passengers. The sol

The fire at San Francisco has
been gotten under control, but
only after the entire business
section OF the city had been
wiped out, but a few buildings
on the outskirts being saved.
II is impossible to estimate
the loss Of life, and the total
loss will probably never be
know. Various estimates of the
number of dead are made, the
figures being all the way from
500 to 1900.
The property loss is estimated
at from 100000, 900 to 100000
600. A great many buildings
we're Quilted and much may be
saved from the wreck.
No effort has been made to
identify the dead, and in fact it
is impossible to do so, many
bodies being entirely consumed
In the flames.
Extraordinary measures for
relief have been taken. Con-
gress has appropriated $780,
900, while gifts of from $4,000
to 100000 have been sent by
leading financiers of the country,
and everywhere offers of assist
ance are made.
Carloads of food are being
shipped to the suffering people,
and everything possible done to
relieve their distress.
The city will be rebuilt. Of
that there is no doubt.

CHINESE NOT BARRED.

Washington-It is the desire of
President Roosevelt that the work of
the Red Cross in alleviating distress
in San Francisco shall be done wholly
and just as much for the Chinese as
for any others.
In a letter to Secretary Taft he
made this point plain. The text of
the letter follows:

Stimulate hope. Today, events reveal
Free Cuba as peril to her own people,

as palpable as Free Santo Domingo

This country freed the Cubans at
heavy cost, restored order and made
the way smooth for their self govern
ment. 1t has ended in failure. The
experiment has shown that the Cubans
are unfit to govern themselves, and this
country has been called upon to inter-
vene in the interest Of humanity and
of property rights. No one can say that
the Cubans ale not better fitted for
self government than the Filiplnos,
that the so-called anti-imperialists de-
manded should he left TO their own de-
vices-sayage that had only been kept
in suDiection by Spanish troops and the
priests. And, by the way, but little has
been heard of late from the antl-imper-
iaIists. who accused President Roose-
welt of violating the constitution and
setting himself up as dictator. The
people passed judgment on President
Roosevelt and OH his traducers TWO
years ago.

broke out in 81 pots all over my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. l got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when l saw in q paper your
ad, l sent to you for the Cuticura book
and l studied my case in it. | then
went to the drug store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box OF Gu

cura Pills. From the first application
l received relief. l used the first set

and was completely cured. l had

plain that very considerable minority
at least of the people of Maine demand
an opportunity of voting on this ques-
ton. Should this opportunity be denied
them? The Congregationalist says:
For the last four years the demand
mas been increasing that the legislature
should provide an opportunity for the
citizens to express their verdict as to
whether this law should be continued.
It is quite probable that during these
wears majority would have voted to
retain it. They might do so today. But
the unwillingness of those in power to
permit vote on the question has in
creased the popular desire for it. the
issue has come to be not SO much
question of license as of popular gov
eminent, and the people, as they al
ways do in this country when they be-
lieve themselves under undue restraint,
found way to express their opinion in
the late election.
The standing of the Congregation
alist as an advocate of temperance and
prohibition will hardly be questioned,
nor will that of lions Advocate which
says:
"It remains now for the temperance
people of Maine to get together and
prepare for the next thing. And that
next thing is-resubmission. 1t is a
logical necessity after last Monday;
With the tremendous advantage gained
then the enemies of the law will not

TIE Nomination Of W. r. Hearst for
governor of New York seems to have
given general Observation-Disclosures
Democrats. The only Democrat Of
prominence to commend the nomina-
ton is VIM J. Bryan, and it is readily
seen that he is actuated by self III
terest. The overwhelming defeat OF
HEARST in the State, now regarded as
assured. will take him out OF the
Presidential race and leave the field to
BRYAN. Mayor Mcclellan has issued
formal statement III which he bolts the
nomination of Hearst, and many proml-
pept Democrats have pledged their
support to Hughes, the Republican can
didate for Governor. The press of
New York, and the press generally
outside of the Hearst newspapers. is
opposing the candidate who has been
openly accused of securing his nomlna-
ton by flying, blackmail, bribery and
corrupt promises" Henry Watterson,
IN the louisville Courier-J ournal
dem, says; Neither Hearst nor
Hearstism is Democracy. 1t is
Socialism. 1t is paternal government.
1t is the central power of the nation as
the recourse of the people. 1t is
federalism against stateism, consolida-
ton against indiyiduaiism. Democrats
will not accept it anywhere" The Bos-
ton Traveller Dem says: "Hearst is
a fakir and a rogue He is not, and
never was, a Democrat, and every
decent Democrat in New York will be
doing himself honor by voting for his
opponent this year.

Rev. Ii. y. PringIe, the secretary Of
the Name Civic League, says if the
next LEGISLATURE declares i'll favor of re-
submission of the constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture and
sale Of Intoxicating liquors, that there
will be war to the knife He says
the directors of the Maine Civic League,
without dissenting voice, decided to OPP
pose resubmission. He adds:
'Without our approval, resubmission
will not be voted on in the next Legis-
lature, because the dominating political
party is explicitly pledged against it by
vote of 20 to 1 in its State convention
and by recent utterances OF campaign
speakers in every part of the State.
Thousands of Prohibitionists and Dem
ocrats voted the Republican ticket this
wear because it was pledged to prohibit
ton and against resubmission. If the
Republican party violates its pledges,
and orders resubmission in the next
Legislature, it will be case of stupen-
dous political treachery which ought
and will turn over the government of
Maine to the Democratic party in the
presidential election OF 1908.
Leaving the question of resubmission
aside for the moment we would like to
enquire of Mr. Pringle how the cause
of temperance would be advanced by
turning the State over to the Demo
cratic party? Unfortunately the spirit
shown in this statement is too often
manifested by reformers, much to thell
own detriment and to the injury of the
cause they are supposed to have in view
Of course no one will question the right
of individuals or leagues to fight resub
mission. The Journal has opposed re
submission from the first; and believed
it would have been fatal mistake tt
have incorporated it in the State plat
form. The Republican party stood fol
enforced prohibition in the recent cleo
ton and the Democratic party for re
submission; and the Republicans won
but by greatly reduced majority. Thi
would indicate that majority OF tn
voters were opposed to resubmission
but it is known that many Republican,
who favored resubmission stood b.
their party, but cast their ballots unde
protest.
The question is one for the Legislature
to decide, and Mr.. Pringle assumes
good deal when he says: without GU
approval, resubmission will not be vote
on in the next Legislature" and he ha
strange conception of the duties ant
RESPONSIBILITIES of a legislative bod
when he speaks of the Republican
party ordering resubmission." 1t i
