FIRE SWEEPS OVER

TO COPE WITH BLAZE
Government Officers Bitterly
Criticized for Apparent In

of Miles Of Standing Timber,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire.
San Bernardino, Cal, July 30.-The
fire which has been raging tor week
on the San Bernardlno mountains
north of this city today assumed a
size far greater than any other blaze
In the history of the range. stiff
breeze sent a wall OF fire sweeping for
ward over thousands of acres of tim
bered land. and tonight the flames eX.
tend over fifteen square miles.
With the rise of the early morning
wind the fire swept unbroken up the
mountainside. Hesitatng at the sum-
NIT, the blaze crept slowly down the
east side and at 3 o'clock reached
Squirrel Inn. The women in the no.
tel and cabins of the summer resi-
dents were sent out of danger by
horse back to Little Bear valley. The
men remained behind and n determin-
ed stand was made. The flames crept
through the timber until the resort
was entirely surrounded. One cabin
after another caught fire but the wa
ter supply of the camp held out and
after a desperate fight against appar-
entity overwhelming odds, the crest OF
the fire passed on, leaving every cab
in standing.
The fire extends along the ridge Tor
seven miles tonight, and another
camp, Pine Crest is believed
to be doomed. The fire disregarded
all flre-breaks, burning back down to
the base of the mountains on the west
side.
That the fire may burn for weeks is
the belief of men familiar with condi-
tons in the mountains. All telephone
lines in the fire region have been
burned down. Bitter criticisms have
been made by men who have interests
in the mountains of te~ manner in
which the forest service has attempts
ed to cope with the situation.

North Dakota will have three

There are many questions aris-

PUSHING OLD MEN TO THE REAR.

1T has come to be a prime bromide
of the times that this is an age OF
young men," Everywhere in the big
corporations, in the professions, in
politics, there are the shining eX-
amples of heavy weights on young
shoulders. There is a glory about the
sight which is ever new and ever in
spring. But it is not a new glory
We are merely treading anew the cir
Gle around which the ages have, re-
Volyed-the pitifully pholosophic cir
Gle Of the youth that will not be de-
MED ,anG the age that cannot re-
tain its grip. Only in a generation
which fer all its practicability is In
oreasingly convicted of its cons
cience, we are beginning to ask
What becomes of the old men?"

and innumerable company of those
who reached out and took what they
wanted illustrate this same epigram
of the "age of young men" More re-

that it must largely disregard the in

SENATORIAL RACE.

The more candidates get in the
field for the senatorial seat left va
cant by the death of Senator Clay the
better satisfied, in all likelihood, will
be Governor Hoke Smith.
No positive declaration has come
from the next governor that under nc
circumstances will he accept the SEN
atorship. No such declaration, we be-
lieve, will ever be forthcoming from
that source.
Ali of the candidates now prospec-
lively in the field base their hopes on
an impression that has got abroad
that Smith will not be a candidate
That impression is doubtless well
based, so far as an active candidacy
is concerned.
Gov Smith will not be an active
candidate for the senatorship. IN
fact if he did he would i'm
mediately and very perceptibly
weaken himself politically. He
would draw upon himself the
fire of all other aspirants. He would
be called on to defend his change of
attitude with regard to the primary
selection of senators by the people,
instead of their selection by legisla-
tive caucuses. He would also be
subject to the criticisms that always
tall on the man. elected to one Office
VINO starts on a chase for another one
before he has been inaugurated to
the Office 10 which originally elected.
These are clements of weakness that
Gov. Smith is not apt to discount. He
can only avoid them, and other pit
falls, by refusing to assume the posi-
ton OF an active aspirant for the seat
that Terrell now occupies.
But such an attitude, while it saves
him from such embarrassments bv
no means puts him out of the field en-
tirely. If he can secure the entrance
OF five or six candidates, dividing up
the legislature to such an extent that
neither one Of them can possibly de-
Velop sufficient strength to win, what
more natural than after a week or
ten days of fruitless deadlock that
his friends in the Senate and House
should get together and tender the
honor to Governor Smith. Not having
been a candidate, in the general ac-
ceptance of the term, he would vio-
late no promises, break no faith. 10
accept the senatorship so rendered.
floke Smith is not eliminated from
the senatorial succession. Far from it.
In fact The recent developments have,
II anything, strengthened his chances

Terrell, his most formidable oppon-
ent Brantley, Hardwick, Coyington.
