Reports of damage include the de-
struction of the Canadian Pacific ter
minal, employing hundreds Of persons,
which in itself cost more than a mil
lion dollars.
Luckily the explosion occurred early
in the morning, and there were fewer
persons at work on the water front
than are usually employed during the
busy hours.
Patrol boats rescued hundreds Of
persons from drowning, while the Hal
flax firemen worked like heroes in get
ting many from burning and collapsed
buildings.
Ordered From Building.
The military charge of the Cana
dian Pacific, in last word received
directly from Halifax, had ordered all
operators out of the telegraph build
ing.
Halifax has for years been the
chief British military and naval sta
ton on the American continent.
It was the principal port from which
mon, munitions and supplies have been
transported from Canada to Flanders
and northern France.
The harbor is one Of the most spa
cious in the world. 1t is strongly for
titled. and has a population of more
than 10000 persons.
Cities Of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia are rushing doctors, nurses.
hospital supplies, fire fighting appa-
ratus and food to the scene.
The concussion Of the explosion
caused the roof Of the railway station
to collapse, killing scores.
Many hundred were injured. A pas
senger liner rammed an ammunition
ship backing from the pier and caused
the explosion. Fire broke out and in
an attempt to extinguish the flames
the crew opened the seacocks in the
hope of sinking the vessel, but it
drifted to the pier. The explosion
leved half of the Richmond district.
Dead are lying in the streets, and
many injured, unable to find accom-
modations at the hospital, are WANDER
ing helplessly in the streets.

JUDICIAL AUTOCRACY.

The Public, of New York. tersely
calls attention to the reactionary de-
cisions of the supreme court of the
state of Indiana. These decisions in
dictate clearly the court is out of
touch with the progressive demo-
cratic sentiment of the common
people and will do much to educate
the masses to the point where such
autocratic power will no longer be
tolerated. The quotation reads:
THE record of the supreme court
of Indiana is a strong argument for
the recall of judicial decisions With
in the last few months it has nullfied
child labor law. a 2-cent railroad
fare law, and law granting women
municipal and presidential suffrage.
1t may be that these laws were I'M
constitutional, but the recall would
provide an easy method of overcom-
ing that difficulty. 1t may also be
said by some that the people of In
diana can amend their constitution if
they wish. But the supreme court
knows better 1t has not only nulli-
fed the legislative acts mentioned,
but has held unconstitutional a reso-
luton for popular vote on calling a
constitutional convention. That the
people have no inherited right to
rule themselves Is substantially the
position take in the suffrage case by
these learned judges, and their &C.
ton shows that they honestly believe
what they say"

"LABOR.TO-BLAME" CRITICS
SHOULD READ REPORTS.

The federal bureau of labor statis-
tics reports that union wages in 1O1
of the principal trades In 4S leading
cities of the United States were 10
per cent higher in May, 1916. than in
1907. This report has just been
issued In Bulletin No. PA.
The salue department of the gov
eminent reported last October in its
Monthly Review:
Comparing prices the year before
the war with prices in August, 1917,
food as q whole advanced A. per cent.
Flour advanced 100 per cent, or
more than two and one-fourth times
the price in August. 1913; cornmeal
advanced 120 per cent, or nearly as
much as -four; potatoes, 81 per cent:
sugar. ~ per cent; lard, ~ per cent,
and pork chops, So per cent"
Despite these figures, issued by
the government, there are editors
and other citizens who tell the people
that trade unions are responsible for
present living costs.
