A Notable Address.
President Roosevelt made a notable
> address at the corner-stone laying of a
new government building in Washing
ton, last Saturday.
His proposition that "we shall ulti
mately have to consider the adoption of
Dme such scheme as that of a progres
sive tax on all fortunes beyond a certain
amount, either given in life or devised
or bequeathed upon death to any in
dividual—a tax so framed as to put it
oat of the power of the owner of one of
then enormous fortunes to hand over
Pmore than a certain amount to any one
individual," is something new, and
would involve an amendment to the
National Constitution.
The principal points of his address
were: We can no better afford to con
done the evils committed by the man of
capital than thoee by the mat of no
capital.
We should discriminate for
tunes well-won and thoee ill-won. No
charity, however great, can compensate
for misconduct in making any fortune.
He favors a progressive tax, levied by
the National Government, on all for
tune* beyond a certain amount —a tax
that will put it out of the owner's power
to band down more than a certain snm
to any one individual.
The National Government must adopt
some sort of supervision of the opera
tions of all great corporations, for they
are all engaged in inter-State business.
He believes that rate regulation, if
properly framed and enacted, will be
the beginning of the correction of oar
economic evils
The efforts of men of wealth, will not
succeed in preventing control cf their
business by the proper Government,
authorities
WASHINGTON NOTES.
Oc Thursday last tlie House, for the
fourth time in recent yearn, passed a
resolution favoring the election of Pres
ident, Vice-President, and U. S. Sena
tors by the popular vote, and members
of the Honse every fonr years. 'The
proposition to amend theConstitntion for
the election of Senators by direct vote
has been passed by the Honse of Repre
sentative on fonr different occasions by
• practically unanimous vote. Many
State legislatives have at various times
adopted resolutions in favor of the
change. In response to the movement
started by the Pennsylvania Legislature
in 1999 to secure the application on the
part of the necessary two-thirds of the
State legislatures for the proposal of the
amendment by Congress a third of the
States have since taken favorable ac
tion. In the South the expedient of
submitting senatorial candidacies to the
vote of the primary of the dominant
party has been adopted as a substitute
for direct election. Arkansas has just
nominated a Senator in this way and
Tennessee, Illinois and Michigan will
try it in their coming campaigns
POLITICA L<.
With but seven weeks intervening
between this and the State Convention,
it is remarkable that there is no promi
nent candidate for Governor. The men
mentioned to date are Chas. W. Stone,
E. P. Acbeson, G. F. Huff, John
Stewart, W. R. Andrews, R. S Murphy,
Lewis Emery, L* A. Waties, Mayor
Weaver and several Congressmen of
the eastern part of the state.
G. M. Hosack of Pittsburg
of for Lieut M iff r Young
for Auditor Gcjiarflfnn 1 I. B Brown
■ad J. TbOfffig for Secretary of Internal
Affaip*' It looks as though thiH "con
dltlon of uncertainty" would continue
up to the date of the oonvention—June
Otb.
The latest argument for increasing
the terms of Representatives in Congress
from two to four years set forth by the
House committee is the novel one that
with the elections every two years 'the
political grafter who thrives on the
nervous uncertainty of candidates is
able to live from one election to an
other by the boodle secured at his un
holy business."
A great deal has been heard of lato
about political and other grafting, but
it has not before been seriously asserted
by anthority in position to know that
the ward heelers and managing poll
tici&nn extract enough hoodie from the
nervons candidates to fnrnish thorn
with food and raiment and i.resnniably
liquor to Inst from one election lo an
other.
Worm*.
As there is no i>olitics, this year, let
ns talk about something cheerfnl—
worms for Instance.
After a late rain a certain stone of a
sidewalk on N. Bluff St. was covered
with angle or earth worms. They carne
out of the ground and crawled over
that particular stone in numbers. To
•ome of them the stone must have felt
cold, for they backed off. An angle
worm can go forwards or backwards,
but cannot circle, at least, there is no
evidence to that effect. The yellow belt
in the middle seems to be the contro
ling force.
Earth worms are fonnd all over the
word, ranging from a fraction of an
inch in length to sor <1 feet. Home of
the earth worms of South Africa are
very large, and If the robins arc of pro
portionate sire no one would blame the
people there for considering the robin a
"game bird. " The earth worm is the
lowest form of animal life; the earth is
fall of worms, so is the sea, and hun
dreds of books have been written about
them. Some writers go so far as to as
sert that the whole scheme of animal
and vegetable life would lie a fnilnre
withont them
AT Springfield, Mo., last Saturday, a
mob wrecked the jail, and lynched
three negroes accused of a crime. Gov.
Folk sent the state militia to the town,
and offered a reward of fUOO each for
the names of the leaders of the mob.

Destruction of San Francisco.
Earlv yesterday morning while most of the people
of San Francisco were yet in tli» ir Ihkls, the central
or business section of the city was <l<*stroy<.'d by an
earthquake. The first shock shook the entire stat,e. and was
followed by several minor shocks.
The water and gas pipes were broken, fires broke out in
all parts of the city, unsuccessful efforts were made to stay ,
the flames by using dynamite, and then those who could
fled to the country, and the whole city is reported to be a
mass of ruins.
It was a city of about 400.<X)0 people, and i> reported
burned to the docks and suburbs.
The loss of life by falling buildings i> put at 5,000. and
will increase as the days go by.
Tt is the greatest calamity that ever W-fell a large
Americall community.
At 0 o'clock last evening the city was yet reported burn
ing, and the flames could be seen at St. Jose, thirty miles
away. The loss of life was estimated at 20.000. The central
part of San Francisco consists of high business blocks of
stone and brick, whose fall at -o early an hour probabK de
stroyed but few persons excepting in the hotels. In the resi
dence sections the houses were mostly of wood, and as there
was no water, it was probably these that were seen burning
at a distance. All the wires were broken, and all the trains
stopped running. The shock was felt over the whole ol the
states of California and Nevada.
This disaster probably parallels that of the destruction
of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, one hundred and fifty
years ago, (Nov., 1705.) Ihe city is built along the fag us
river, near its mouth, and it was destroyed by an earth
quake followed - by fire; and the loss of life there was put at
from 30,000 to 40,000.
There are hundreds of theories regarding the cause of
earthquakes, but no rational explanation. All we know is
that they come. The Western coasts seem to be more sub
ject to them than the Eastern; though the last one felt in
this section was that of Charleston, S. C'.. about fifteen years
ago.
Another shock at midnight, last night, toppled over
more buildings; the city was burning all night with nothing
to stay the flames; the estimates of the killed, wounded and
homeless were wild.
The property loss, yesterday and last night, was esti
mated at 200 millions; which will hit the great insurance
companies very hard.
This morning the Central portion of the city is a mass
of smouldering ruins, guarded by soldiers, who are ordered
to shoot all thieves caught robbing the dead. Some people
were caught in the falling buildings and burned to death.
There are eight square miles of ruins. All the towns with
in a radius of fifty miles suffered from the shock. The
Stanford university is in ruins. The Cliff House slid into
the sea.
Town Council Meeting.
" The Town Conncil stampeded Tues
day evening and gave the Pittsburg &
Butler St. Railway Co. all they asked,
and seemed very anxious to give them
a great deal more. The Railway Co.
got Chestnut St. from Cunningham to
Jefferson in exchange for releasing
rights which they never possessed over
Mifllin St., ninety feet of an alley run
ning parallel to West St. in exchange
for opening and paving Sullivan Ave.
to a width of 80 feet between West and
3hore Sts., and the right to lay switches
andaV on West St., in exchange for
paving 150 feet west of Sullivan Ave,
Property holders on West St., who ap
peared and protested against their street
being taken for a switching yard were
ignored. The Committee of Conncil
appointed to confer with the citizens
and street-car people reported in favor
of keeping the switches off West St.
and then the Chairman of the Commit
, tee. moved that the Railway
Co's proposition Capt.
Hays' presented a minority report ask
- -fi»g that the Railway Co. pay SSOO a
year for the Chestnnt St. franchise.
Regardless of their former action limit
ing all franchises to 30 years. Some of
the Council wanted to extend the grants
I given for an indiftnito period.
Hays and Aiken were the only mem
bers who voted against giving the Rail
way Co. all they asked.
A petition was presented asking for
the paving of E Penn St
1 F. P. Bucklin asked for sidewalks on
Standard Ave
1 A. H. Cohn asked for leave to cross
1 E. Cunningham St., with a switch to
1 his jank yard.
Proi>erty holders on West and Shore
Sts. say they will light the closing of
the alley vacated in the courts.
1 Someone interested in the trolleys is
1 reported to have made the remark dnr
the past year thai they did not give a
1 for public opinion so long na they
had eight men on the oouncil.

The linn. Parade.
Th» Hungarians and Slavs of Lyn
dora made a Holiday of Monday, and
their parade up Main yt., JJutler, was a
very creditable one.
The parade was headed by a aijoad of
:nnn in fancy uniforms, followed by
the memberv of four beneficial socie
ties, with llagH, two bands and a group
of girls dressed in white. The two silk,
American flags were very handsome
ones (costing SBSO. each) while the
badges were Hungarian colors—red,
white and green
They made tremendous preparations
for the holidays-Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday-and it took about fifty bar
rels of whisky and two hundred wagon
loads ot beer to see them throngh.
They seem to be great observers of
the Religious Holidays, and yet they

they have of the kind each year.

one to two feet of bottom, for all of.
which the company does not want to

company in the controversy and shows 1
wbi.ii is in ».be right."

) Right Paint
I at the Start
I Pure White Lead and Pure Lin-
I seed Oil should always be used for
i the 6rst or priming coat._ No other
' paint has the same affinity for the
surface—marrying and becoming a part
cf the wood.
Yellow ochre, barytes, zinc or any other
substance than Pure White Lead fails to
csiite with the wood and serves only to
form a cushion, which will prevent even
l ure White Lead from attaching
itself when finally applied.
Satisfactory results can never g '/ 1
be obtained so long as a Surface ft J , *
is coated with a veneering (for [ / /'I
that is all it is) of yellow
ochre, barvtes, zinc, etc.
Such a coating is bound
to crumble, crack and
peel, and must be burned
or scraped off, down to the wood itself,
before a good job can be done—an ex
pensive process, and not without danger
of fire.
A house owner can scarcely make a
more costly mistake than to use a substi
tute for Pure White Lead in the priming
coat. Avoid all risk by using

• daily, which is as good an a daily, and
which will keep you as completely in

The Thrice-a-Week World is fair in
its jiolitbal reports. You can get the
truth from its columns, wbethet yon

is what you waut.
A special feature of the Thrice a
Week World lias always been its serial
fiction. It publishes novels by the best
authors in the world, novels which in
book form sell for $1.50 apiece, and UM
high standard in this respect will be
maintained in the future as in the past.
