THAT CALIFORNIA "sHocKLET. ;"

Very naturally, the people of San Francisco
and of all California, not to say the whole
'coast country have been not a little wrought
up over the exaggerated reports of compar
atively slight and altogether harmless earth
quake felt III some parts OF northern California
early in July last. Stories of that sort proverb
ally travel much faster than the truth and to
follow each one up separately and mall its
inaccuracies would be thankless taslt-a nhl
cal impossibility. But the press. the public Of
1icials and the Panama Pacific exposition man
agement in California have not been idle
since the trifing incident referred to- For weeks
they have been engaged in securing unmpeach-
able testimony as to the absolute lack of dam
age from the slight shock and to its relative
insignifcance; and their carefully prepared
statement designed to counteract any unfavor-
able impressions concerning San Francisco that
may have resulted from the inaccurate reports
and now being widely circulated through the
Americas ought to completely set at rest all
msapprehensions and settle the question in all
unprecedented minds
Among those presenting testimony as to the
lnconsequentlal character of the shock are Gov
ernor johnson of California, State Engineer Ell
lery, Chief Assisantant Engineer Connick of San
Francisco Doctor Armn Leuschner of the Uni
VerSlty of California Instructor Einarsson of the
same institution. Director Ricard of the seismo-
graphic station at Santa Clara college, Acting
Director Aitken of the Lick Observatory nd
Otto Won Geldcrn, consulting engineer, secretary
of the Technical Society of the Pacific coast,
member OF the chronological Society of Amer
lea, member OF the engineering committee on
the earthquake of 1906 and Of the American
Society of Engineers They all agree that there
was absolutely no damage to person or property
in San Francisco that the shock was only of
twenty seconds duration and that no visible
or tangible physical trace of it was left anv-
where in California Engineer Won Geldern saws
in part
II rate this quake number four by the
Rossi-Forel scale. of which scale number ten re-
fers to a shock of extreme intensity and number
one to a micro-seismic shock not noticeable ex-
cept by delicate Instruments An average wind
storm would have been of more concern
Only abnormally nervous and ridiculously
timid persons will keep away from California
on account of this ''shocklet'' of July, 1911-
and numerically they only a half-drop in
a hogshead.
And as to it's effect on the exposition of
l915-why, the whole world will have forgotten
it entirely before Christmas

ALL FACTIONS PLAY POLITICS.

That the purpose of those members of con-
gress intent upon proceeding with tariff legisla-
ton at this time is the playing of politics was
conclusvely proven by the confusion in the SEN
ate last week when the regular republicans
forced a dissolution of the insurgent- democratic
coalition
In that exgency partisan adhesion was
stronger than a desire to bring about a revision
of duties and Senators Cummins and Bristow
urged the defeat of the amendments which they
themselves had proposed to the cotton bill and
by which they professed to hope to force
through reduction on the impost on iron and
steel and sugar Cummins would not take his
own measure from the hands of Bacon, the dem
ocrat, and Bristow rebelled against his pet prop
OsitiOn when it was offered by Jones, who way
ers in his party feeling and is at times with
both republican factions. These two prominent
insurgents rallied their followers and when the
cotton bill finally went through such men as
Borah, Bourne, Clapp, Crawford and La Toilette
voted with the magainst the measure and its
revising schedule La Toilette made desperate
stand for his substitute but in the end when he
couldn't have his way, joined the opposition
rather than contribute to a democratic success
That this was rank political maneuvering no
one can deny Let us not however. be under
stood as taking the insurgents alone to task for
it. The democrats, driven within their own
party by the absence of the regulars, repud-
ated their compromise with the insurgents and
scorned the help which they had solicited when
they thought it was necessary And the reg-
lars themselves by remaining away from the
chamber, deliberately did so to embarrass the
relations between the insurgents and democrats
and not out of any desire to prevent tariff
legislation.
The whole performance was tricky politics
and clearly shows the situation in Washington
incidentally, it was the strongest kind of an
argument for the postponement of all tariff re-
vision until the regular session of congress next
December, and if it is the intention of our
statesmen to draft all their tariff legislation
with view to its bearing on the next presi-
dental election, they then go as far as they
please. At that time, however, the country will
have certain scientific deductions before it that
Will hold them to common sense in their law
making. Union

NO REASON TO BLAME PRESIDENT

The people of Arizona have no reason to
blame the president for their failure to get into
the Union as quickly they wished When
they were making their constitution they were
warned that Incorporating a recall provision
would in all probability balk their aspirations
They knew the president was absolutely against
It, and it was suggested to them that friction
could be avoided by leaving out the recall till
after Arizona was admitted as state-then
they could put it in if they desired But they
were determined to force the issue on congress
and the president; they persisted in attempt
to fore the president to indorse something he
had denounced unwise and vicious putting
their aspiration for statehood to an unnecessary
hazard at the instigation of dreamers agitators
and Missionaries in other parts of the country
The effort to force the president to approve
the recall has failed and Arizona will have to
stay out of the Union for awhile longer. unless
the statehood resolution can be passed over the
presidents veto. All because of an obstinate
determination to force an issue that could easily
have been avoided
