A BURNING QUESTION. | R | To the Editor of The Call: | It has been estimated that the earth- quake of April 18th resulted in more or ess damage to chimneys in fifty-thous- | and houses in Szn Francisco. These | houses show an average of at least three The last ordinance by the Super- visors provided for a charge of one dollar for each flue inspected. The Board of Public Works says that an inspector can examine eight-houses daily, and the pay of the inspectors is $4 per day. This means that the board will only have to | ¢ out $4 for every $24 collected. If all pay up, the board will collect $150,000 at a cost of $25,000 for inspection. The dif- ference between the two sums is an un- necessary burden. But extravagant as is | the charge, the sum would have been | cheerfully paid weeks ago if the people ouid have been given the use of their | chimneys. Hundreds of people had their chimneys repaired and filed applications to have the same inspected but the in- spection has not been done, and innumer- able and unnecessary disc-mforts have bad to be endured because! of the very foolish rule adopted that no chimney can cannot be inspected until the last dam- aged one has been repaired. Unlees 1 greatly misunderstood the tem- per of the people, they will never submit much _longér to the enforcement of the strict letters of that rule. They never ought to have borne the delay as long and as patiently as they have. Persons whose chimneys have been repaired should insist on immediate inspection. Those responsible for this long suspense in a matter =o essential to the sanitary condition of the city have ‘a good deal to answer for, and the suffering people will not forget to mete out proper pun- ishment as soon as\ the opportunity pre- sents itself.

DENVER, Colo., May Donald has received a Francisco Call, with a voted to what the nati 28.-Governor Me- copy of the San marked page de- | on had done for | the sufferers of the stricken city. The nce made to his State in the | whole article was the reproduction of | two_telegrams sent by Governor Pardee to Governor McDonald and Mayor Speer. Their replies were not noticed and no mention of the fact that Denver went promptly to the relief of the sufferers wis made. Goverpor McDonald was sur- prised and hurt. “Our people did so well,” said he, “that | T ¢ no reason why they should have been overlooked. Denver was almost the first to get into the ciiy with relief and it is surprising to me that no mention of her work should be made.” Tt is extremely regrettable that Col- orado has not been given due credit for what it did when San Francisco's cry for ald went forth, for no State fn the sister- hood was more prompt or generous in re- sponse. Who can forget, that evening when the Citizens’ Committee of Forty was still Straining every effort to avert menacing famine and its deliberations were inter- rupted by the arrival of a qumt-mnnnerei{ man with this simple announcement: “Gentlemen, I have just come from Den- ver with a trainload of provisions for- warded by the Chamber of Commerce of fhat city. We came by special freight. What shall 1 do with the goods?” It was the first consignment of relief supplies to come from beyond the Sierras. It came unheralded. Denver's people did not wait for furtier information or ap- peal than was contained in Governor Pardee’s first message. They did not even consume time in notifying the benefici- aries of their bounty what they were about to do. They just did it. And there- by they revealed a spirit so akin to San Francisco's own that they were at once adepted as something dearer than bene- factors. They were figuratively embraced as_brothers.

SENTOR DOLLNER FLAYS SOCIOLOEKSTS WHD PLAN UTOPM Iowan Declares That Life Is Made Up of Labor and Struggle. NEW YORK, May 28.-——A special to the Tribune from Atlantic City, N. J., says Senator Dolliver of Iowa be- terday made a pointed attack on those sociologists who purpose to deliver the | race from all care, toil, burdens cnd competition. “Those of my acquaintance,” said | the Senator, “who have reached this | desired haven are either deadheads or the wards of Government institu- | tions.” i He said the tendency of these | teachings was to produce drones and declared some of the recent strug- gles between labor and capital had | approached the ridiculous. ‘“The sociologists have missed the | Philosophy of human life,” he contin- ued. “The law of labor, struggle, ser- vice and sacrifice is the mold in which rugged manhood is made by achieve- | ment.
