THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
Plant Destroyed and Twenty-three
People Killed.

Los Angeles, October AT one
O'Clock this morning a terrific explosion
wrecked the plant of the Times-Mirrol
Publishing company, publishers of the
Los Angeles Times, and score or more
of people lost their lives.
1t was given out this morning by the
sublishers that dynamite was used to
wreck the building which Immediately
caught fire. The explosion shook the
whole city and trapped employees of
the paper, especially those in the me-
chanical department, who had no
chance for their lives were caught
in the wall of fame which enveloped
the building Immediately following the
explosion The Los Angeles Times
has been consistent foe to unionism.
Some of the employees who escaped say
that there was an odor of escaping gas
in the building a long time before the
explosion occurred and that it was gas
that caused it,
The firemen kept the flames con-
fined to the Times building, though
two iremen were killed in the falling
walls.
Up to ten O'Clock this morning no
bodies had been recovered from the
wrecked Times plant At that time
the list of missing men ran above
twenty and ii is feared that it will go
as high as fifty or sixty 1t is feared |
that it will be twenty-four hours before
the ruins can be explored as burning
oil has seeped into the wreckage, defy
ing the efforts of the fire department to
luench it.

i do not believe that the West, OF
the East either, for that matter, labors
under any illusion whatever as to the
real character of the tariff or the way il
was made.
Leaving the tariff bill out Of account
there was much good legislation passed
by Congress last spring and the pro-
gressives were mainly responsible. The
West has never been deceived as to
where the credit belongs for the useful
laws passed at the last session of Con-
gress. Indeed, | think the whole coun-
try knows by now that the Wickersham
railroad bill and Alaska bill were both
indefensible. The Ballinger conserya-
ton bills, although they contained some
good features, taken from previous
measures, were as a whole the obvious
product of dense ignorance and con-
spicuous bad judgment, to say the
least. The reason why good came out
Of the last session was that some men
in the House and Senate asserted the
dignity of their representative Office and
refused to pass bills under whip and
spur until they had been amended in

Rural Routes and Cheaper Postage

, In this week S issue of the Commone
Mr.. Bryan suggests reduction of tn,
merchandise rate on matter handled ex
clusively on rural routes.
In this day of changes, radical re
forms, and perpetual progress, it is as
tonishing that this. idea has not beer
advanced before.
Every inducement and every encour
agement is offered the farmer in Other
respects. The rural routes pass his door
and he reads his morning paper before
the city man is out OF bed. He is en-
couraged to come to town and take adj
vantage of the bargains Express COM
panies give him special rates on his pro-
duce, and the railroads meet his require
ments on live stock and heavy products.
Every disposition is toward the removal
Of the Inconvenience of distance and
overcoming the barrier of space and
whatever mode or method that con-
tributes to this end is naturally feasible,
practicable, and desirable. The rail-
roads are paid enormous sums for hand
ling the mails, but the rural carriers
are poorly paid, with postage rates iden-
teal. Rural routes are established and
maintained on a basis Of revenue. It is
a business proposition with the Govern
ment, pure and simple. The rural car
rler serves patronage just as intelli-
gent, Just as prosperous and well-in-
formed, as any other. The telephone
and mail delivery and early morning
papers and automobiles have placed the
rural patron on basis Of equality with
the city man in every particular except
in delivery of goods. The proposed re-
duction of mail rates for merchandise |
will remove that. It will develop an |
entirely new field for the postman: it
will give him more to do, and cores
ponding increase in pay. 1t will afford
a new direction for the endeavors of the
,ity merchant and prove a profitable,
and eventually indispensable
industry to all concerned.
Rural route carriers have quickly es-
themselves as an intelligent
oart Of the machinery of the Govern
nent. Owing to their community inter
'sts, superior intelligence, and familiar
ty with the needs and uses and abuses !
# rural delivery, they might by syste- 5
natic activity be largely instrumental 2
n procuring postal reform such as sug- ;
ested here. The proposition hardly +,
resents a debatable or negative phase,
nd should it ever be successful the last
nd final Inconvenience of rural life 1
'ould be removed and the bond of unity \
etween town and country firmly and ;,
nally established. = Tennessean and |.

GREEN GOODS GALORE.
James Glasgow, of Sharon, has a
Complexion to Match.

Dresden, Tenn, October Post
office Inspector Gri mett ar
rived here yesterday from Paris with a
Young man named Charles Glasgow,
who resides near Gleason in this coun-
ty, and carried him before Commis-
sioner Eskridge on charge Of attempt
ing TO use the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Some time ago Glasgow
wrote a letter to a gentleman named
G. l.. Hendershot at Walensburg,
Colo, stating that if Hendershot would
send the writer of the letter 500 he
(Glasgow) would send him in return
$40 that could not be told from legal
tender OF the United States. He en-
closed in this letter a self-addressed en-
yelope to r. d. Riley, Paris, Tenn,
which is some twenty miles from Glas-
COWS home. Hendershot sent the let
Ater written him by Glasgow to the post
master at Paris and the latter notified
Postofiice Inspector Grimmett, who
came Immediately to Paris. When
Glasgow called for the letter addressed
to r. d. Riley the inspector appeared
and placed him under arrest. After
arriving here Glasgow claimed to the
commissioner that he did the letter
writing to Hendershot, but that he had
been told by neighbor how to do;
that this neighbor had been working !
the game for some time and was max
ing good money out of it,
The letter to Hendershot was type
written aud well-worded, proving a
master hand had gotten it up, and it us
not believed that Glasgow had anything
to do with the letter writing. Glasgow
comes from a splendid family who re-
side near Gleason. He has heretofore
been a young man of good reputation,
industrious and upright in every par
ticular, and it is believed that he had
been led off into this business by some
one who has some influence over him.

SUCCESS THREATENS CAUSE.

Having won, there is nothing left
for them to insurge against. In that
sense only they have become regular. In
one way the insurgent cause is threat
ened by its own success. Now that
most open minded men see the speedy
triumph of the progressive policies, and
because direct attacks upon them
usually fail, the hope of the reaction
aries is to join the movement and try
from within to emasculate it or steer it
to disaster. The soft pedal is still the
most dangerous enemy of progress.
Already there are signs in plenty
thrt reactionaries are trying to domi-
nate the progressive movement. Already
the conversions without conviction have
begun. Political deathbed conversions,
performed in public by politicians
whose leadership is dwindling, may be
fairly regarded with suspicion. Like
certain flowers, these gentlemen turn
their faces to the rising sun, but the
roots are held fast by the soil as before.
Il would make it perfectly easy for
all men to join the progressive ranks.
But | would keep the newly converted
old-style leaders in the ranks and under

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2.-Gifford
Pinchot, head Of the National Conser-

from long tour of the middle and fal
West, to attend the annual convention
Of the Brotherhood Of St. Andrew.
When asked for his views on the politi-
cal situation IN the country that he had
just traversed, Mr.. Pinchot made the
following statement
The essential facts in the West, as
see them, are the weakening of party
ties, due to a genuine interest in popu-
lar government and the spread of pro
gressive ideas.
The defeat of such men as Hull in
Iowa and Tawney iRFAIinnesota, and
the overwhelming victory of LaFollette
in Wisconsin the successful fight Cali.
fornia is making against the political
domination Of the Southern Pacific.
the demand for direct popular govern
ment IN Arizona, the reputation of
Ballinger by his own city, county and
state, and especially the fact that the
conservation idea has swept the West
all these are typical signs of the pro-
gressiVe advance.

Men like Dolliver, Cummins, La
Toilette, Beyeridge, Bristow, Murdock
and Norris fought the good fight for
the people, and they won. They earned
and they are receiving in the East and
West alike full credit for the good laws
they gave us. Not the least of their
claims upon the gratitude of our people
is the fact that they destroyed the Can
non-Aldrich legislative ring aud drove
the special interests from their first line
of defense.
In some few places the administra-
tion bills and the administration sena-
tors were help and not a hindrance.
Any credit they won thereby they
should have freely, and the West gives
them all the credit that is their due.
