bicycling Through the Dolomites,"
In The Century, il an account Of Colonel
George E. Warnings European trip.
Concerning mendicancy in Italy, Col.
oneh Waring writes: Perhaps there il
no better index to the good or bad con-
dition Of the working people Of coun-
try than is afforded by the number Of
beggars one meets on the roads. The
poles set up at the border Of Austria,
with their spiral stripes Of yellow and
black, do not mark the line between it
and Italy much more clearly than does
the advent Of the beggar the moment
the line is crossed. In Austrian Tyrol
there are virtually no beggars. On the
Italian side, even we'll dressed people in
the fields will leave their work to beg
coppers from the passing traveller.
One day, in the upper Innthal, a cou-
pie Of bright looking, rosy faced chill
dren ran after us, asking for kreutzers.
"Mawknix" upbraided them for such a
shameful act, and they skunk away. He
spoke of this with much indignation to
q neighbor, who said their whole fam
lily were away in the fields at work, or
they would not have dared to beg, and
that he would see that they were well
spanked when their mother came home
at night. Nuns and few favored Grip
pies sometimes ask aims at the doors of
the churches in the larger towns, and
the poor box is always found inside,
but the peasantry and the churches take
care of their own poor, so that the vice
Of beggary is unknown among them.
In Italy, on the other hand, it is OBJ.
vious that special conditions Of deform-
ity are artificially produced. Both legs
broken and badly reset in childhood
constitute a good source of income fol
life, and anything that appeals to SYM
pathy is made the occasion for cultivat-
ing very mistaken and mischievous
charity.

THE PAPERS uALEoicToRY.

A farewell" Issue That Read Ike IN
Oracle to survivors.
Several years ago was the Omaha
Republicans correspondent in Lincoln,
Neb., the state capital, when the paper
changed hands. The new proprietor had
policy in two words, Reduce sala-
RESI- In few months he was himself
reduced to the point where he couldn't
pay any salary. He asked me to come to
Omaha and take the editorship at the
salary was receiving as reporter. He
would cut my salary in two if I remain
ed in Lincoln. accepted reluctantly.
1t was only a question of few weeks
when the paper would have to suspend,
and there was little honor or profit in
guiding the wreck.
For three weeks we managed to get
along somehow, and then the proprietor
went into retirement. The Republican
had the Associated Press franchise and
had presses and material worth $40, 600.
1t had about 8, 900 paid subscribers. I
had tried to get somebody to buy it, and,
in the hope that somebody would, we
continued to get the paper out. At last
the printers announced that they would
not work any longer. I prevailed upon
them to work that night, and they
agreed to help get out a farewell issue.
1t was unique specimen. For weeks
Mr.. Rosewater, the proprietor of The
Bee, and Mr.. Hitchcock, the proprietor
of The World Herald; had been waiting
for The Republicans demise with eager
expectation. They knew we had been
endeavoring to sell the paper to outside
parties, and dete rmined to give them
q scare.
In an editorial recounting the vicissi-
tudes through which The Republican
had passed I said that at last the pa.
per's troubles had come to an end, and
they had. For some weeks, the editorial
went OH to say, the future Of The Re
publican had been problematic, but now
the suspense was over. We knew exactly
what was in store for the paper, and we
did. For our contemporaries there might
be rivalries and annoyances, but for
The Republican all that was past, and
it was.
learned afterward that there was
CONSERVATION in The Bee and World
Herald offices the next day and that il
was not until the second night, when
everybody knew the old Republican had
gone under, that our contemporaries
were treasured. York Mail and
