The attack upon Italian students at
Innsbruck Thursday occasions great
solicitude in Vienna here. There is
no attempt to disguise in certain Of
fetal circles the Apprehension that
the relations between Austria and
Italy, which have been strained for
some time are near the breaking
point.
At least forty persons were injured
some seriously, in a IA end collision
on the Long Beach, Calf, electric
road today.
BY a majority opinion. the state
supreme court decided to appoint
watchers in each of the ninety-nine

UNCONSTITUTIONAL POLICY.

The Parker Constitution Clubs
would find 1t profitable to go back
over the old war literature and see
what was said about Lincoln. They
would have an opportunity of getting
a lot of arguments which they could
then apply to Roosevelt There has
seldom has a president been more ac-
cused of unconstitutional acts than
was Lincoln. Yet Parker's support
ers now put Lincoln up on a pedestal
and advise Roosevelt to be like him.
One McHenry, In a pamphlet ad.
dressed to a member Of parliament
in England in the last years Of the
war. argued that Lincoln violated the
constitution in recognizing West Vir'
ginia. Mr.. Henry Gassaway Davis
ought to be able to remember when
that argument was used.
In about forty years the democratic
party will probably be canonixinl
Roosevelt and holding him up as ar
example.

Irish immigrant Of fifty years ago
have become intelligent and indie
pendent citizens. Under protection
they have been enabled to earn good
money. Suppose they had been liv-
ing all this time under conditions
which forced them to compete with
ill-paid artisans of Europe. so that
they could not live well, read, think,
work intelligently, and give their chill
dren a good education, should we find
a body of citizens among them compe-
tent to change their politics for well
defined reasons? No; the chances
are that the Irishman of today would
vote as his father voted for no reason
in particular. IL pays to treat every
body well in this country.

IRISH.AME RicAN SENTIMENT.

One of the most significant things
In this campaign, from more than one
point Of view, Is the number of prom
inent lrish-Americans who are COM
Ing out for Roosevelt. 1t is also re-
ported that Irish-American republican
clubs have been organized In wards
of IL cities which have always been
strongly democratic.
When any considerable body of
men break away from the tradition OF
their fathers in this way, II means
something. In this case 1t means
the overwhelming personal popularity
OF President Roosevelt.
But that Is not all 1t means, II in.
dicates the wisdom and justice Of leg.
islating for tho benefit Of the whole
people instead Of for a class. Under
the common school system In our cit
les and towns the children of the
