Earthquakes and Cities.
Philadelphia Bulletin)

Surprise is expressed in some quarters
because the people of Kingston. like
those of San Francisco, propose to re-
build their shattered city substantially
where it stood before. With respect to
Kingston the prediction is made that it
can never regain the flourishing tourist
trade which did so much to promote its
prosperity. AS for San Francisco. the
statement is made that a large portion
of the business which it formerly trans
acted with Alaska has been transferred
to the more nOrtherly ports of Seattle
and Tacoma. and will not return to the
Golden Gate.
1t may be doubted whether in either
instance the prophecies will come true.
Certainly the American people would
have been greatly surprised if the San
tranciscans had announced last April
that they intended to shift their com
munity because it had been devastated
by the twin agencies of earthquake and
hre- 1t seems undisputed that the Pa
chic slope metropolis is in a region which
is peculiarly exposed to seismic shocks.
Moderate and innOcuous disturbances of
this sort were comparatively common
for many years before the great quake
came last spring. Yet since these man
itestatons may not show themselves in
destructive form more than once in
many generations, human nature-at
any rate, American human nature-is
not so constituted that it is willing to
abandon existing investments and a
superb commercial strategic position in
order to make sure of avoiding future
possible disaster from this source.

Best Use For War Ships.

1t may be bit far-fetched for the
English newspapers, in connection with
the Swettenham episode, to declare
that, because of the Liberal govern

ish prestige has been endangered and a
British governor and British COLONY

foreign navy in an hour of grave emer-

primarily a fighting machine. But the
man-of-war is also a sort of imperial
policeman among the Clover breeds. -"
and, finally, it is a messenger of service
and rescue, as at Kingston and else
where. The sentimentalist might argue
that one of our white cruisers bearing
gifts of food and shelter to a stricken
city presents quite as inspiring a vision
as the Mikasa in the sea of japan. with
Togo on the bridge. Expensive TOYS in

ALL THAT WAY

the Massachusetts plan for revision
of the tariff is well described as a
scheme for free trade in the things that
Massachusetts buys and protection for
what Massachusetts sells. Norfolk
Virgiuian-Pilot.
That is pretty much the way with all
so-called tariff revisionists. The late
Colonel Abe Fulkerson used to saw that
every person who had anything to pro-
tect was protectionist to the extent of
his own interest in that line. But re-
Gently our Norfolk contemporary had a
very able and urgent editorial advising
the people of that city to buy from their
home merchants, and not to purchase
from foreign cities. No more forcible il
ustration of the wisdom and morality of
the protection doctrine could have been
presented. We also recall the fact that
our Democratic friends in Tidewater
and Southside Virginia were very solic-
tous TO have their pine lumber protect
ed when the present tariff laws were
being enacted; and that Senator Martin
