Larger and Better Structures Have

Two years have passed since the San
Francisco disaster. On the Dist day of
April, 1906, men looked at the smolder
ing ruins left by a three days fire and
declared that the city would never be re-
built; others. more sanguine. thought
otherwise. but were sure 1t would take
three years to clear away the debris
alone, and it would be at least ten, and
probably fifteen. years before the city
would bear even a faint resemblance to
its former self. And those who made
these predictions had no prescience of
other calamities that were to follow hard
on the heels of the great catastrophe
which had crumbled the city into ashes:
for there were to follow bribery and cor
ruption on the part Of city officials.

With these things in mind it is almost
impossible to believe the evidence of what
has been done toward the reconstruction
of San Francisco in the past two years.

BUILDING IS CHEAPER.
Comparison Between Present Prices

and Those of. Last Year.
From the American Lumberman.
Labor is cheaper now than 1t was
year ago, although nominally wages are
the same. 1t is cheaper because 1t is bet
ter.
Materials are cheaper than they were
year ago. not for the same reason that
labor is cheaper. but in the actual prices
that must be paid.
Last year the majority of the dealers in
building material had all the trade they
could handle. This year business has been
fair, as shown by the building records.
but there is room for very considerable
improvement.
AS a general proposition lumber now is
being sold for 10 to Is per cent less than
during last year. In some cases where
the trade is supplied with special woods a
reduction to that extent has not been
made. However. 1G per cent probably rep

Our unnrennrcd Army.

When the wal with Spain broke out this
country was in a pitlable condition, so far
as the army was concerned though the
navy was. as it is now, in frst-elass shape.
The fifty millions so suddenly voted for
defense were not applied toward strength
ening the army or getting a single extra
rifle or uniform. All that work had to be
done after war actually began. 1t was
more good luck than good management
that carried us through that war so sue
cessfully. 1t took the army of Shafter all
day to capture Ell Caney and San Juan Hill
and these two places were defended by
only LOO Spaniards. What would have
happened had Linares used intelligently all
the forces at his command Is not pleasant
to contemplate, but certainly the war
would have been longer and the losses much
greater and to a great extent this would
nave been the result of our lack of prep
%aration.
A million good rifles with sufficient am
munition is not too great a reserve to keep
on ham 1t is certain that If we do not
make preparations now the time will come
when we shall regret 1t with bitterness and

THE CRISIS IN JAPAN.

BY a narrow majority the Japanese
cabinet escaped a defeat and over
throw in the Japanese national legis-
lature yesterday on the question of the
budget. The opposition represents a
revulsion of popular sentiment against
the ambitious program of the govern
ment, involving excessive taxation.
Japan is a poor country, it is under an
immense foreign debt, it sustains a
large army and navy, It is pledged to
enormous expenditures both for wal
ornaments and national expansion.
The announced policy of the govern
ment now is to increase the taxes and
postpone the expenditures, in order to
make both ends meet. 1t may we'll be
doubted if there will be any decreased
expenditure. Japan has entered upon
a path she must pursue, even to the
point of bankruptcy. Without the
great of the United States,
England or France she is compelled to
maintain the establishment of a world
power at any cost, and since she cannot
place a foreign loan taxation must be
resorted to, though it may mean con-
fiscation.

DREAMING.

A radiant dream of Utopianism is in
Gulged in in the current issue of the
American Journal of Sociology by Prof.
w. b. Elkins. of the University of Mis-
souri,. Prof. Elkins thinks that men
have pain and trouble and sickness be-
cause they cannot see straight; their
viewpoint Is inverted. He would cure
all this and make of earth an Eden by
establishing in practise what he calls
his method of naturalization" Judg-
ing from his remarks, he considers that
the happiness of the human race is in
the hands of the doctors, and that they
must alter their modus operandi before
his Elysian conception of what ought
to be can be realized. His main sug-
gestion is that physicians should be
raid by the year and should devote
their energies to keeping people we'll,
instead Of spending all their time cur
ing them when sick.
This doctrine, which the Chinese have
held for 1000 years, is sound in theory,
at least, for when mankind is taught
how to ward off disease and avoid con-
tact with things that make disease pos
sibie, many of the ills that flesh is/heir
to will become as extinct as the ptero-
dactyl. BY the same token, all that re-
mains to complete the glowing vision
of heaven on earth is for the lawyers
to go about trying to prevent people
from quarrcling, instead of fattenins
on their di~ssensions, and for the rail-
roads and merchants and trusts to con-
duct their business on the same golden
principle: 1t is a beautiful ideal to set

PUBLIC CONFIDENCE AND EXPOSURE

One very striking feature In the re-
port of the superintendent of the In
surance Department of New York
state is the evidence given by the
figures of the cost to the insurance
business of the loss of public conf
dence from the exposure of the mis-
management of the big companies.
There has been a falling off inAnew
business of neatly $700, 900, 900 and an
actual decrease of insurance in force
since 1904 If $685. 900, 900. This is a big
price for the New York companies to
pay for the fun the managers had
speculating with the money of the
policy-holders.
Doubtless those who have blamed the
authorities for all troubles that have
com on since, because of their "agita-
ton against corporations, will only
see in these figures confirmation of the
justice of their complaint. Possibly
if these jugglers with other peoples
money had not been caught and ex
posed the trouble would have been
postponed, but the inevitable smash
would have left the policy-holders in
a much worse plight. The exposure
was a necessary surgical operation.
The patient has lost much blood and
may be slow in recuperating, but will
recover with proper care and nursing,
and these include measures to prevent
the recurrence of an old disease. L
rays better in the end to suffer by
loss of public confidence, due to ex-
posure, than to keep silence while
sharpers abuse public confidence. To
conceal a wrong is to be a party to it

OUR A CANALS.

The Delaware and Raritan Canal, now
operated as a part of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system in this State, will be
made a subject of investigation If a
joint resolution introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. .Silzer shall be passed. The
resolution asks for an investigation by
a Joint committee to ascertain whether
the State has any equity in the canal.
and to inquire into the matter of canal
transportation. The Attorney-General is
requested to communicate to the Inter
state Commerce Commission whatever
facts h may obtain in regard to the
operation of the canal
Both the Morris Canal and the Della
ware and Raritan did a good paying
business at the time the canal COM
panies were absorbed by the Pennsyl-
vania and Lehigh Valley Railroad com
|panies. From the moment the railroads
got possession the traffic declined. On
the Morris Canal the traffic has prac-
tically disappeared. There is only a
pretence of operating the canal. On the
Delaware and Raritan the railroad
company operates boats in a way that
does not affect the railroad traffic, but
the bulk Of the business formerly done
has been abandoned. Both canals were
formerly used largely for coal trans
portatlon, and on both the carriage of
coal has been reduced to insignificant
proportions.
But the two canals are wholly In New
Jersey, and therefore are not interstate.
They are, however, operated by inter-
state railroad companies, chartered in
Pennsylvania, and as. lessees of the
canals these companies nay come with
in the province of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The future of the
Delaware and Raritan Canal is bound
up in the great scheme of an inland
waterway along the Atlantic coast, and
as a necessary link of that prospective
waterway the canal will have to be
wrested from the exclusive and blight
ing control of the railroad company.
The future of the Morris Canal lies in
the State Legislature.
