ITALIANS HELP PROSPERITY.
Sons of italy Are a Great Factor in
Multitude of Industries-Law-
abiding and Hard Workers.

Ecomically considered, Italy is con-
tributing greatly to the prosperity Of
America, says an editorial writer in the
Century. "A large part Of her surplus
population is digging our tunnels, build
ing our railways, and supporting null
titude of our industries. This element
has its vices-usually the inheritance of
dynasties of misrule-and coming chief
ly from the south of Italy sometimes
fails to show us the more lovable and
gentle side of the people. But it is a
hardworking, frugal, and fairly law
abiding race, even here, and, however it
may be misled for time, has no menace
for free institutions beyond any other
ignorant foreign population. It will be
sad for Italy if her children shall take
back from America to that democratic
land lessons of oppression and Unequal
ity drawn from the purchase of favors
before the law. Until we are sure that
we are not teaching them such lessons,
we should do well to speak more softly
of the degeneracy of the country they
have left or of the dangers to our c1ylli-
cation involved in their coming.

the driver was handing down to him.
An exclamation from Elise Avery
caused him to turn in time to witness
a dramatic little episode. Elise and
her aunt had halted midway of the

the girl in blank amaze.

Murgatroyd was given "a hours to get
