Swapping Machines In Pennsylvania.
The program of the Lincoln Party of
Pennsylvania, as outlined in its plat
form just adopted, presents curious
political anamoly. The Lincoln party
movement Is widely and vociferously
advertised as q revolt against ina
chine rule" in other words. against
the turning over Of the government
to a political machine. But the Lin
coin party plo torn, as adopted, Who'll
ly ignores the Initiative and refer
endum Of popular government. The
Lincoln party promoters merely or
ganize another machine and demand
that the government be taken away
from the Republican machine and
turned over to the new machine--their
machine. The keystone reformers
wholly ignore the fact that machine
rule Is machine rule it always was
and always will be. It is the swamp
thievery are swarmed. The Pennsyl-
vania people will no more be able to
control their affairs under the Lincoln
machine than under the Republican
machine. One machine may be better
or worse than the other and still it
will remain an irresponsible machine.
Until the people of Pennsylvania take
to themselves the right to instruct
their representatives and veto their
acts, they will still have machine rule.
Swapping machines may afford temper
airy relief in the same way that swap
ping kings may have, when a bad
king is slaughtered to make way for
a good king. But still 1t is king rule.
What Pennsylvania needs is not a
change of machines which means a
change Of political bosses, but the re-
storation Of the sovereignty of the
people.

Referendum in Italy.

he1eEe00um IN italy.
The referendum movement is getting
a foothold even in Italy. United States
Consul J. e. Dunning Of Milan makes
a report to the State Department, tells
Of labor legislation in Lombardy. In
Milan, municipal tenements are being
built. the cost thereof having been pro-
vided for by a direct vote Of the peo-
pie. The voters ordered the expense
by vote of eight to one. Says Consul
Dunning:
Legislation has made possible in
Lombardy the application Of rigid laws
governing the employment of women
and children in, factory labor. in the
protection Of workmen. in compulsory
insurance and pensions, and in better
housing for the laboring class.
Women's hours for labor and the age
at which children may be employed
are definitely fixed. In Milan there are
nearing completion several series OF
workmen's houses to take the place
were torn down to make room for the
new structures. The latter are built
on modern principles, with light, air,
sanitary arrangements, bathing facil-
tiles, and utter adjustment -of the
former conditions under which entire
families lived in one room. These
quarters cost in rent no more than the
old ones did. They are under munic-
ipal control, a special election having
been held to express: the will of the
people on the subject, which has car
rted by nearly eight votes to- one.'
