There Should Be Expiation.

Somebody should be eIectrocuted against 14S factory employees in New York on Saturday afternoon. It did not come about by accident, that scores of men and girls had to jump from windows of the eighth, ninth and tenth stories of the burning building; it was not by accident that fifty died of suffocation, nor did the elements of chance figure in the fact that many were burned beyond recog- milton.
 Whoever was responsible for the absence of fire escapes on the build ing is to blame. The employers of these murdered victims would be sup posed to afford their employees pro- tention in such an awful contingency but fire escapes are not installed for nothing
 More responsible than the employ CTS are the authorities of the cty of New York. It was their business to see that such buildings are equipped with fire escapes. They were not ignorant of the peril which menaced the 700 employees daily. Fire Chief Croker was not surprised when the calamity happened for he said that he had been expecting it and had called the attention of his superiors to not only that building but others similarly criminally neglected.

The House insurgents.

Circumstances over which they had control but did not exercise it prop er1y will render the insurgent re- publicans of the present house of representatives a much less potent force than they were in the last house. Then they could secure allies who needed them and whom they needed.
 The democratic majority is not only a laIgc one but at the outset it k d very Harmonious one and there appears at this date nothing on the horizon on which to base prediction of early inharmony.
 The leaders of the majority have al ready announced their policies and little dissent has been heard from democratic newspapers and none from any democratic member of the lower house. Those policies therefore can be carried out with -a supreme disregard of the insurgent and the regular republicans.
 In as mucn as one or the diiilS oI tho democrats is to create material for tEe democratic presidential cam paisn they would naturally prefer to dispense with the aid of republicans of any shade.
 3'he insurgents, moreover. will be a small minority of a minority which in itself is not very imposing and their bugbear. one Joseph G. Cannon. will be the leader of the minority with a large and loyal following.
 The insurgents may start a revolt against his leadership but it cannot in the nature of things go beyond the start They can have no allies in any insurrection against MT. Cannon.

A Man of Power.

No other state executive ever held a legislature with such a strangle- hold as Governor Johnson maintains upon the legislature of California. and. it is well that that is so, for few legislatures have been so much in need of control The legislature has accomplished many extraordinary things within the last two months. Many of them were in the way of wild party pledges and many of them are in execution of pledges privately made with this or that element which gave the Lincoln Roosevelt league success at the primaries and again at the polls. With the carry ing out of most of these pledges the governor has not interfered.
 One of these private pledges was made to that large element in Cal ifornia which hates Orientals. A bill was introduced providing that an alien should not own real estate in California and it passed one house in a most objectionable and unjust form There was little opposition encountered.
 The middle of last week the senate committee having the bill in charge agreed unanimously to return it with a favorable recommendation. There was not the slightest doubt that it would become a law unless the gover- nor should veto it and no word as to his attitude had been given to the legislature.
 But on Wednesday Governor John son received a protest from Presi- dent Taft against the passage of the bill Then the great power of the governor was brought into play. A word to the senate committee and its action of the day before was res cinded and the bill was put away in the committee files.
 Dear as it was to the committee and the legislature, there was no hint of revolt from any source; no talking back to the governor. whose sim pie nod had prevented fool legislation that would have added in some de- gree to the tenseness of the relations between this country and Japan, for they are popularly believed to be strained notwithstanding official as surance to the contrary.

 ."Colonel Roosevelt has made his speech on the Arizona constitution. and as predicted. he has taken several falls out of the proposed recall of the judiciary. Still, there is a lack of directness-an exhibition of circum- locution in the coloneFs remarks which evidences something of a dis position toward sidestepping. What he should have told the people of Arizo- ma is that they make a mistake in in cooperating this feature in their con stitution. and that statehood is an un- certainty until it is eliminated

If this important news turns out to be true much international guessing, gossip and downright lying will have been brought to an end.

EXPERTS FIND FRUIT COST.
Expense of Growing and Marketing one
Box of Apples Is About
81 Gents.

Washington State College, Pullman.
The cost of growing and placing one
box of apples upon the market, using
only the best methods and highest
standard of pack, is 53.1 cents. This
figure is the result of data collected
from 300 growers in the Palouse and
Walla Walla countries. The estimates
upon the cost of production of apples
for the inland uplands are based upon
orchards ranging from nine to 10 years
of age. In determining this figure, the
distance to the shipping point was aver
aged for 300 orchards and found one
half to two miles, making the average
cost for hauling 2 cents per box
Eightyfour per cent of these 300 grow
ers started orchards with one-year-old
trees planted 20 to the acre, at dis
lance varied from 16 to SO feet. The
cost of setting out the trees ranges from
$12 to 1925 per acre, safe estimate
being 10 cents to IL cents for each tree
planted.
The cost of planting and caring for
an acre of apple orchard for the first
six years amounts to $69.35 under the
conditions estimated for the Palouse;
500 per acre is the average capital for
bearing orchards. The life of cultiva-
ton tools, with ordinary care, is 10
years. Ten per cent depreciation can
safely be made in most cases. Taking
all the above into account, about 25
per cent of the cost of a box of apples
is accounted for from picking time until

Higher SALARIES To BE PAID

Make Itself Supporting Branch of
Government Postal Service.

Washington.-Th 10000 odd rura
free delivery carriers in the United
States are to receive salary increases as
result of decision reached by Post
master General Hitchcock. The order
will provide for disbursement during
the current fiscal year of $4,000, 900
which will mean an increase of 800
over the present salary of 5000 for all
carriers on standard routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure of this extra 81 900 900.
but left it to the discretion of the
postmaster general as to how much of
it should be expended. Mr.. Hitchcock
decided today to authorize the expendi-
ture of the full amount.
To Compensate for Parcels Post.
His desire to compensate the car
riers for any additional burden which
may be placed on them if the parcels
post he has recommended for rural
routes is approved by congress was the
important consideration, Mr.. Hitchcock
dec Jared today, which led him to make
the authorization.
In the current year the rural service
will cost the government about $4,000
900, the estimated loss being $4,000.
The parcels post system, he thinks, un-
der proper management, would insure
the maintenance and extension of the
rural free delivery service as self

Grows to Great Proportions.

were paid only 5000 year. On July l
