Haugen bill. There is no denying
that gossip is running strongly to
the effect that the is likely
of enactment at this session. A
combination effective in part, at
least, has been established between
the congressman of the South and the
West which is the basis of the feel
ing of confidence that the measure
will pass both branches. At the cap
itol one curious reaction is to be
found, some Of the people foremost in
pressing this measure are apparently
far from happy over the prospects OF
success. In explanation it is whis-
pered that their interest was political
rather than agricultural and from q
political standpoint their persona.

enactment until the session which

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Nc
AdOo-Smith battle is on for fair.
McAdoo for his part has declared that
his dry speech made in Ohio had no
political significance, but the Smith
men from past experience, have in
terpreted each and every line as an
attack upon their candidate. The sit
uation is tragic as well as humorous.
The country needs two positive func-
tioning parties, with honest differ
ences Of opinions as to national pol
icies. The existence of two such par
ties is frankly one Of the fundamental
principles of our government. Wash
ingtOn, who himself was inclined 10
think in a single national way, rec
Ognized the necessity of party gov
eminent and sought in every way to
encourage a distinction between the
two opposing forces. By the rtime
the Democrats are through, instead
of a party, they will simply have a

WHEN SAFETY DEPARTS
FROM BOATS

Although the captain and some of
the crew of the small excursion boat
Favorite have been arrested in Chi
cago, it is doubtful whether blame
for the disaster can be placed upon
any of these persons. Excursion
steamers, like rowboats, are likely to
capsize when too much weight is
put on one side.
Evidence at the Eastland inquiry
IL years ago proved that the vessel
toppled over when those aboard
rushed to one side Of it to observe
some object in the water. The dis
aster to the Favorite was caused.
not from observing anything in the
water. but because those on board
rushed to one side of the craft in
order to protect themselves from the
wind and rain incident to sudden
squat.
Unfortunately people do not think
in such emergencies. To keep a boat
at an even keel is the first principle
of safe boat operation. Excursion
boats, which usually are light draft
vessels, and lack the ballast of larger
ships, are particularly subject to
listing when the weight of hundreds
of people is switched to one side.
Everyone knows the danger. yet to
control a crowd during an emer-
gency on a boat is one of the most
difficult Of human undertakings.
And so we read of another heart
breaking disaster, with women and
children the chief victims.

100000 Chinese
REPORTED KILLED
Earthquake Of May % Described
by Priest

London, July 20 Op - Scenes of
death and terror are described in
the first detailed account to come
out Of the wild west" of China Of
the great earthquake which occurred
In kansu province on May 20.
The details, telling of the COM
plete destruction of the cities of ST.
slang, Liangchow, Tumentse and
kulang and innumerable towns and
villages. with casualty list estimat
ed at 100000 show that the disturb
ance may be classed among the most
terrible catastrophies of all time.
Monsignor Buddenbrock, vicar
apostoline Of the Steyl mission at
Lanchow, Kansu, gave the details In
letter. an outline of which has
been sent to the Westminster Ga
zette by its Shanghai correspondent.
1t says that in Liangchow alone at
least 10000 were killed, while
moving mountain completely wreck
cd the city of Tumentse.
Scores of worshippers at mass in
the church at Sisiang were over
whelmed by the sudden collapse OF
the edifce as subterranean rum
blings were heard. Priests worked
for hours administering sacrament
to the dying, and carrying the in
Jured to places of safety. Nit
house in Sisiang escaped damage.
and in each dwelling there were
dead and dying. Throughout the
earthquake area the populace suffer-
ed untold miseries.
Monsignor Buddenbrock SAYS that
at some places. great assures ap-
peared in the earth. from which a
blush black liquid spurted.
Late In June a report reached
Shanghai that a severe earthquake
had ruined the greater part Of
Liangchow, in the northern part of
Kansu province. near the Monaghan
border, on May %. This was the
date on which seismographs Of three
continents recorded heavy earth
shock. Calculations by the United
States coast and geodetic survey In
Washington indicated the remote
province of Kansu was the scene of
the disaster.
Seven years ago, Kansu was rent
by a terrific earthquake. which took
more than 100000 lives.
