Let Us Wait on the Trial.

This is a government of laws and not of men. The issue out In Idaho Is not whether the mine owners. or the mine workers have been in the right in the past, or whether trade unionism shall be maintained. 1t is simply whether three men accused of murder are "guil- ty' or mot guilty President Roose- velt made serious blunder when he interfered on the very edge of this trial but he may be trusted to see that fair play is given to these men in the courts. Mass meetings of labor at this time are equally mistake, and will do no good to the men accused.
 Every word of the testimony in the trial which began last week, will be printed, and the jury will be the world. If the accused men are not guilty they will go free, and If guilty they must pay the penalty. They have the right of appeal, and are not lacking in either money or friends. Until the evidence is in let us not allow our Judgment to be warped by agitators on the one side Or the other. The jury system of the United States is on trial in this case, and we hope and pray that 1t may stand the test.-Boston Traveller.

The Many-slded RoosereIt.

This mornings news about Roosevelt and Hughes is cheering, not merely to those favoring one particular course by the President, but for those desirous of the exact opposite, or no course at all.
 Thus, readers of the World learn that unmistakable evidence was furnished tonight that President Roosevelt ''has chosen to take hand in the battle be- tween the governor and the bipartisan machine combination" etc. But the American holds that "to-night marks the commencement of an open warfare between Gov. Hughes and the Presi- dent" etc. The Sun, taking sort of intermediate view, explains that there Is No Roosevelt Hughes Pact" the reason being that Washington wanted to help; Albany wouldn't have it." Meanwhile, the Tribune, which ought to know, prints a column and a half about the status of the Hughes legis- lation at Albany, without so much as mentioning the Presidents name. En- erson's Brahma or Sir Boyle Roche's bird could not be doing more different things at once. But Mr. Roosevelt is, as a dozen biographers have agreed, a wonderfully many-slded man., and per- haps this accounts for the different as- poets in which the various correspon- dents have seen hfm.-From the New York Evening Post.

THIRTY ARE DEAD
 IN SHRINER WRECK
(continued from First page.)

Sander Deabold of Cleveland worked heorically, but unavailingly to save the lives of two women pinioned beneath the burning dining car. Borrowing down into the smoulderlng, splintered wreck, Deabold, with a hose which he had wrenched free from coach con nection, spouted water from an adjac- ent tank and extinguished the flames. Then he reached down and after cut ting away the broken timbers that held her fast took Mrs William w. Essck of Reading from the ruins. She was begging piteously for relief when Dea- bold reached her. As he lifted her from the furnace, stream of boiling water poured over her. She expired few minutes later.
 Henry J, Fisher of Cleveland went with his wife and her daughter Miss Cora Young, to the baggage car just before the wreck The women were killed, but he escaped almost unharra- ed.
 A. D. Wasson of Buffalo was eating at corner table, within six inches of the hot water tanks. When the rescuers neare1 him, he yelled encouragingly Dragged from the range of the scalding steam he murmured, Thank God" and died His wife and baby were with him, and they escaped injury.
 It was some time after the wreck oc- cured before word of it reached the outside world As soon as one of the 1i,,4, {v1,, way to the station, word of the wreck was flashed to San Luis Obispo. Immediately special trains were ar- ranged Physicians and nurses, gather- ed hurriedly, were quickly on the way to the wreck.
 At 4 o'clock a relief special left Santa Barbara and made the 100 miles to Honda in 90 minutes. Simultane- ously another special left san Luis Obispo equipped with nurses and doc- tors It arrived shortly before the one that left this city. Already what work of rescue was possible had been done by those who had escaped the dis aster.
 Many of the dead were so severely burned and mutilated as to be almost unrecognizable. The three undertak- CTS rooms were besieged all might by Shriners who were still in the city, and by daylight all of the dead had been identified.
 When the relief train arrived at Sut- ton, on the way to the wreck, Miss Maria Fuller, nineteen years old, of Los Angeles, jumped on board.
 Coroner Ruise began an inquest this afternoon on the bodies of the victims. Joel H. Prescott, of Buffalo, was the first witness. He testified that the

Bought Life for Franc.

Near the western end of the city, in a lonely street for most of the men were sleeping from 12 to during the heat of the day), I met a tall, stalwart "Rifi," from the mountains, which he visited for the purpose of circulating copies of the Scripture, Accosting him with the usual Arabic salutation asked him If he could read. He am swered No.
 Where do you live?" "In the mountain twenty miles west" Have you sheik who can read?" "Yes."
 Then will you please take him this book with my greetings and ask him l to read it to you all?"
 What is 1t, Koran?" "No. The story of the life of the Messiah
 He then turned and asked if 1 was a | follower of the Messiah, to which 1 answered Yes" Then arose his Moslem fanatlcism, for he was an 'Assaoua"-a terribly fanatieal section of the Moslems in Morocco. Drawing his knife and holding it over me he uttered one word, She hed!" (witness), meaning that I was to say, with my forefnger raised, There is no God but Allah and Ma hommed is the prophet of Allah"
 1 felt white, but tried to look cour- ageous and unconcerned. I remon- strated with him for so acting with his Amel's guest, but all to no purpose, He reiterated his one word "Shehed!"
 His knife was an ugly weapon. It looked like piece of sharpened barrel hoop with two pieces of goats horn fastened together to make handle. Knowing the Arabs love of an English knife, asked him if his knife was an English one. He answered that he had made It himself Remembering that in one pocket had a franc in silver and coppers and in the other French louis, determined to buy the knife if possible.
 Taking out my small change I de- cided to try that first. I referred to the fact that the English were very proud of their knives and I would much like to take back to my country Moroccan knife to show what others could do and offered to purchase it. The sight of the French coppers and a glistening piece of silver was too much even for his fanaticlsm. He un- did his leather sheath, restored the knife to it's place, looked up and down the street to see no one was looking, then, with apparent joy, exchanged the knife for the money and the book and went off happy.
 Which of the two felt the happier cannot tell, but never forgot that my life in Oujda was purchased back for a paltry franc.-Rev W. G. Pope.

prescnt Day young Folks,

The young people of today, as com pared with those of 50 years ago, are chiefly deficient in power of sustained attention and original thinking They cannot, or at least they usually do not, think as clearly, as patiently, and as cogently, as did their fathers, They do not as quickly distinguish the irrela- want from the pertinent, the kernel from the husk, as the men of the last generation. They have an amazing fund of information they are wide readers of bright ephemeral literature, they have tasted every fruit on the great tree of knowledge; they know a thousand interesting scraps; they are more versatile and ingenious and at traotive than any other of the recent generations But they are quickly led astray by sophistry, and easily led to surrender conviction when it connects with interest
 This is the characterization of Pres- ident Faunce of the young people of to- day He is right. It is a fickle age. What has brought it about-What will remedy the condition? Who can say? Alltle ny lllllt lllG otbClbttOAl lioS pOCh diverted from the main issues of life; little by little the pile of interest haA grown; gradually the energies have been diffused over many matters, until nothing really absorbs, nothing appears vital, nothing is well done. Brllliancy is aimed at rather than depth. Smart ness is an essential at the sacrifice of seriousness. Superficialty, pretense, shallowness, are phrases that readily come to mind as fairly designating con- ditions recognizable as existing in many relations of life. The young peo- ule are not to blame that they have not sustained mental powers. The schools are hardly to blame that they are over crowded with studies Circumstances, for once, can fairly be charged with be- ing responsible; but the action is re- gverse and somebody or something Is re- , sponsible for the circumstances-a long line of people and things. Wiseacres are needed to bring about an improvement and the time is not one for the four ishing of wiseacres; but here and theEe , is one who sees that things are going wrong; and while there's one there's hope It takes but little leaven to leaven the whole lump.-New Bedford Standard.

train was running at high rate of speed. In answer to questions or the district attorney Prescott said that the relief train from Santa Barbara reach ed the wreck shortly after o'clock. The accident occurred at 2:35. The train carrying the dead started back at o'clock and did not reach Santa Barbara until 1:30 a. m., or six and a half hours after leaving the wreck, taking that long to cover distance of sixty-one miles. The relief train was held on a siding fourteen miles north of Santa Barbara for two hours with it's freight of dead. Prescott said he examined the ground in the vicinity of the switch and discovered that a point of the switch rail was broken off, evidently by the wrecked train. The piece of broken rail was produced. This caused the train to leave the track, he thought. An examination of the switch showed that it was not closed. The inquest will be continued tomorrow afternoon.

voted for by some of the anti-imper- ialists of this state.
 When a pastor in Litchfeld he preached a remarkable sermon on "The Humanity of Christ" which created a great stir in church circles in the town and awakened heated discussion which was remembered for years. It stirred deeply the "old fogy" element in the denomination. It is interesting to note that our townsman Clarence Deming, a mere lad at the time the sermon was delivered many years ago. and long after the event, contributed memor- able resume of this controversy which was published in "The Christian Un ion' and excited much attention.
 As was well said of him last evening by a friend: Dr. Bacon was an ex tremely fine preacher, a most powerful and effective writer always pithy, strong and ardent in controversy; alive to the public interests in civic mat ters; a good citizen of an earnest, high type, always seeking for the best things in the community's moral and spiritual life"
