STATE POWER.

A good deal Of our recent dis
cussion about federal powers
and state powers treats them as
II they were In antagonism with
each other. No sane or public
spirited man Is Jealous OF fed
eral power. But what we wish
to guard against Is the atrophy
of the local agency. the weaken
ing Of those great instrumentaL-
ties which have vitalized our
communities everywhere and
made self government a human
relation. What we wish to pre-
vent is anything which will re-
heve our people from the ne
cessity Of taking care OF them
selves, Our system Of govern
ment has been great because it
has put upon the states the ne
cessity of working out their own
problems and has put the peo-
pie everywhere upon their. met
tie: has left their economic and
social salvation TO their owa dis
cernment and their own exer-
ton Woodrow Wilson.

night on the appeal to the police Of

A vigorous protest was made to the
election of the negresses by white
passenger, who claimed the women
we're travelling as maids to his daugh-
ter. These negroes were reluctant
to leave their berth, and were escort

Springs private secretary, had just
left the Office, and everything was all
right. There was no one in the
Lancaster & Chester office, it being
the dinner hour.
Col. Springs office suffered the
heaviest loss, the bank and the Lam
caster & Chester railway office suf-
fered considerable damage from
water. The fire company did good
work. The fire seemed to have
caught between the ceiling and the
roof in lot of rubbish carried in by

"CHARLEY" ROSS IN ASYLUM.
Farm Hand Driven Mad by Old Kid
mapping Case.

Bangor, Me-, July 14.-In the Eas-
tern Maine insane hospital here is
"Charley Ross" who has just been
committed by the town authorities of
Milo. The man was working as q
farm hand in Sebec, when he became
violent.
The man is apparently monoma-
MAC on the subject of the long miss
ing Charley Ross, whom he claims to
be. He shows strawberry mark on
his chest, a wart under his ear, a
peculiar formation of one of his
fngernails, which he claims ought to
prove his identity. His pockets were
full of notes and clippings about the
kidnapping of Charley Ross, and many
written notes about the doings of the
"Black Hand" which he says spirited
him away in 1874.

this morning for the south as the
wall of flames advanced toward the
village. The town of $500 inhabi-
tants was soon a mass of fire and is
entirely destroyed.
South Porcupine and Pittsville are
charred ruins.
Golden City was surrounded by
flames for hours and is still in danger
although only the suburbs have been
burned. Port of Tisdale has been
wiped out, the fire being controlled
only by dynamiting dozen houses
in the middle of the town.
Two special trains have been sent
to bring the 1000 persons who are
facing starvation or death by fire in
the Tisdale district.
Communication with stricken dis
tricts is exceedingly difficult.
Almost No Warning.
The flames swept down on South
Porcupine and Pittsville almost with
out warning. The alarm came just in
time for the people to rush for the
lake, but they were forced to aban-
don all of their belongings. Gasoline
boats, rowboats and even hastily i'm
provised RATS were utilized to get
the refugees, many of whom were
women and children, across the lake
to Golden City. There all, with 9TH
er survivors of the fire in the north
are at present fighting back the fire.
There are only a few days provisions
left in Golden City.
The laborers employed on the On
tario governments new railroad line
which runs from Golden City west

fight with the flames in which many
were badly burned. They lost every
thing but the clothes they wore.
The town of Kelso was abandoned
to-day after a fight lasting since Sun
day.

this city are considering opening a

The plan proposed IS for'these doc

in the proposition that he is prepared
to venture the undertaking alone if
he is not supported by the local doc
