WELDING GRACEFULLY.

As anticipated the Californians who
iourneyed from San Francisco to Wash
ingtor, red-eyed and wrathful over the
Presidents insistence that the Japs must
be recognized as the equals of the white
pupils Of the public schools, have sim
rnered down after talk with the Presi--
dent. "A compromise amicable TO all in
iterests has been reached whereby the
Japs may attend the schools for white
children without molestation, and that
japanese coolies are to be limited in
number il not excluded altogether from
California How long win this truce be
maintained As oil can not mix with
wafer, il may not be surprising il the
Caucasian and the Japs, who are Mon
golians, will not mix.

HUGE HOLE.
Conclusion So Great II Was Felt Forty
Miles AWAY

Miles Away.
Woolwich, Eng, Feb. ia huge
hole in the ground is all that remains
of the site of the chemical research
department of Woolwich arsenal and
cordyte magazine which exploded early
Monday morning with such terrific
force that the concussion was felt in
towns forty miles away. The whole
country side was thrown into panic,
owing to the belief that violent earth
quake had occurred There was NO
los of life, but buildings for miles
around We're wrecked.
', thin a few minutes after the ex-
plosion thousands of terror-stricken
people, many of them half-clothed.
thronged toward the arsenal. There
were large holes in the walls OF neigh
boring houses, and on all sides shat
tered doors and windows and wrecked
roofs testified to the appalling force OF
the explosion. The arsenal and maya
zine were practically swept away, the
big blocks of stone of which they We're
constructed being scattered for hun
dreds Of yards on all sides.
The people of Braintree. forty miles
away, were thrown into panic by the
shock of the explosion, while in near
er towns windows were shattered and
chimneys demolished. The cause OF
the. disaster has not been ascertained.

MuZZLING THE PRESS.

1t has been announced from Washing
ton, D. c., that President Roosevelt
has communicated with Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou to ascertain whether or
not il is feasible to bar from the mails
all papers that give in full the disgusting
particulars of the Thaw case. He does
not know whether or not it is feasible,
but il it is, he wishes it to be done. y
Perhaps the President is not aware
that there is a law which prohibits the
use of the mails to obscene literature,
frauds, etc. The provision of this stat
ute, enacted by Federal authority, IS
plain; so are the penalties for each vio-
lation This attempt to muzzle the press
by the President is in accord with a
measure pending in Congress, drawn lip
BY commission Of which Senator Pen
rose is chairman, and whose purpose is
to correct abuses relating to mail mat
ter of the second class.
This measure is a direct menace TO
the liberty of the people. In strained
plea for economy there would be estab-
lished a censorship of the press by the
postal authority through which newspa-
pers could be ruled from the use of the
mails on any alleged pretext which could
be construed as a violation of the postal
laws.
Truly this government of the United
State is fast drifting into an imperial
ism when the dictates of one or few
men may be more arbitrary than the
mandates of the Gar of Russia. This
issue is serious. It is amazing to think
that the simple consideration of such
measure could have been tolerated in the
Congress of the United States The
press in self-defcnse and to preserve its
privileges must direct its best efforts to
the suppression Of the measure which
would subject it to censorship
by the governmeip. This measure
can not become law unless il shall be
sanctioned by the votes of the represen-
tatives Of ~ People in Congress. 1t
may be true that. some men in Congress
object to the criticism by the press, but
those are doubtless in the minority. The
people should not be misled by pretenses
aad pleas which would ultimately lead
to the emasculation Of the influence and
The power of the press. A free press is
