CAN FRANcIsco's JUBILEE.

san Francisco's celebration of the
earthquake emphasizes the remarkable
optimism of the average American even
under circumstances that would para

character. Still in the midst of ruins,
surrounded by palpable evidence of the
enormous losses they have suffered,
confronted by predictions of long-con-

their prospects instead of mourning the
recent past.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER FEAT.

John p. Dunning, whose death in
Philadelphia was chronicled yesterday,
wrote what is commonly regarded as
the greatest piece of newspaper litera-
ture in the annals of the press. While
in charge of the Associated Press re-
porl in Samoa during the imbroglio
with Germany, he witnessed the hurri-
cane in the harbor of Apia which
wrecked fifteen merchant vessels and
six war vessels and drowned 142 men
and officers of the German and Amer
lean WarShipS 1t vas during this
storm that the British battleship Cal
Hope steamed out of the harbor in the
teeth Of the gale and the American
sailors manned their vessels and
cheered the BritOns as they passed, the
band on one OF the American ships
playing the national anthem as its own
ship swept to its doom.
Dunning was on the beach through
lives, and after it was over sat down
and wrote "A 3OO00-word story of the
scene. In those days there was no
Hawaiian cable. and the story reached
san Francisco days after the disaster,
but when the brilliant, thrilling nara
tive was published it was instantly re-
cognized as a masterpiece of literature,
and everybody began asking who had
written 1t. Not until then was the
authors name known, and it is a COM
mentary on the fleeting fame of news
paper writing that Dunning never got
more than temporary celebrity from his
great work. He spent over a year in
Salt Lake as a member of The Herald
staff. and always did creditable work,
but he made no effort to pursue the OPP
portunity which seemed to open be-
fore him III the Samoan episode. and he
died in comparative Obscurity.

JUVENILE COURT NEEDS.

The natural sequel to the attempted
disruption Of the city's juvenile court
system developed Wednesday when five
boys, who had formerly been wards Of
the Morris school We're IN court FOR
running away from the orphanages to
which they had been sent Others of
the seventeen wards of the school have
been sent to their homes, presumably
10 their own disadvantage; and stiu
others are a perplexing problem for the
court authorities. No institution % re-
place the Norris home has been provid-
cd and il was found necessary to hold
two of the boys who left the orphan
ages in Jail over night-a return TO the
old system Of imprisoning children with
hardened criminals and reprobates.
Just such an outcome might have
been expected. Although an admir-
able law has been enacted. the legisla-
ture provided inadequate machinery for
its administration and the question of
funds has been a subject Of contention
between the city and county authori-
ties The boy or girl who is taken
in charge by the court has no place of
detention where he can retain his self
respect and at the same time be sub
1ect to court discipline and direction.
The Morris home was such a place, and
il demonstrated its great value as an
auxiliary power in the work of the
court under Judge Brown. Unless a
similar institution is provided at once
and maintained properly, a repetition
of this weeks distressing problem may
be expected and the great work of
saving delinquent boys and girls TO use
ful lives b. seriously imperiled.
If the city spent only a tenth of the
money on this life-saving enterprise
that it wastes on much less valuable
public service. it would be the best kind
Of economy. It is commonplace
to say that il costs more 10 main
tain one criminal than 10 save a dozen
misguided boys from lives of wrong
doing by turning their steps toward
useful occupations and showing them
the pleasure for doing right.
1t would be a crime to permit the
abandonment of the juvenile court,
and it would be little better to cripple
the effectiveness of the court by depriv-
ing il of its chief means of reclaiming
the children who need its care. The
authorities who are responsible for the
public welfare should see to it immed-
lately that the court is given every aid

manenI completion of its work

THE EARTHQUAKE CYCLE.

Following the earthquakes in san
Francisco, in Valparaiso and in Jamai-
ca, the disturbances which shook the
City of Mexico and practically de-
stroyed the two towns Of Chilpanciago
and Chilapa, indicate continuance OF
some obscure REIMBURSEMENT of the
earth's surface. particularly in the west
ern hemisphere. While the reports are
naturally incoheTent and give but mea-
gre details. the main fact stands out
clearly that the center of the disturb
ance was in the neighborhood of the
towns which suffered most, and these
two towns are in the heart of a vol
canic region Of which Colima and Jo-
rullo are the principal peaks and most
likely to be started into renewed ac-
tivity.
Both Chilapa and Chilpancingo are
places Of Importance. The former is
the capital Of the district of Guerrero,
state Of Guerrero, and has a population
of u coo: the latter is the capital of the
state of Guerrero, district of Braves,
and has a population of a little over
5000. The nearnest seaport is AcopulsO,
a port OF call for Pacific steamers.
about 200 miles from the district where
the heaviest shocks are reported.
When the full details are given it is
probable that volcanic activity in the
region viii be found as an accompani-
fnent of the disturbance. Fortunately,
the Mexicans build for just such contin-
gencies. their dwellings are seldom of
more than one story in height, adobe OF
stone is used largely in construction,
and destruction Of life on any large
scale Is unlikely. According to the rec
ord of seismographs in this country
the shocks must have been unusually
sharp and long-continued: and it is
barely possible that the ealth waves
coincident shocks in several localities
more widely separated than is usual in
such occurrences. Some idea of the
violence of the waves is given by the
Albany observatory, which recorded
shocks lasting two hours, with vibra-
tons Of such force as 20 swing the pen
dulum Indicator clear of the recording
sheet which was arranged supposedly
to receive the heaviest seismic records.
Calculations at the observatory showed
that the waves must have originated
at a distance of about 5000 miles. which
corresponds fairly well with the loca-
ton of the Mexican earthquake center.

Whether it takes five years or ten or
