occupied the same seat daily when the
team was in town. And she knew the
game from A to z.
was IN t. THIS j - artieular game the score
were in the field. It was the last in
ming and two men were out, and a man
was on second when the manager sent
up big, husky substitute none of us
had ever seen before. - -
1.-The pitcher looked at the catcher
and got the signal: pitch whatever
you like Just then a handkerchief
huttered in the stand back of the
catcher, and the girl in an uncon-
cerned way, drew her hand across her
throat several times. c.G.
The pitcher was on in minute.
He pulled his cap down and wound a
fast one around the substitute IS neck.
1t was square over and the big fellow
whaled away, missing the ball foot.
Two more in the same place and the
game was over. -. -
"Just as we walked to the bus I
heard the manager Of the home team
pitched a low ball that fellow would
have lifted 1T out of the lot. - ~ =

The expression, Government by
the People" is being almost as much
overworked as is the phase public
opinoin.' Does government by the
people mean the government that Is
based on the complaints of the un-
fortunate or the rantings of the dem
agogue? Does it mean government
which listens first to the unreason-
ing and seldom gives ear TO the
thoughtful? Does it mean q govern
nent in the interests primarily OF
those whose interests are narrow,
whose needs are few and whose ex
aggerated oopinions of conditions
place them within the category OF dis
contents and revolutionists. Or does
it mean a government by the great
mass of people between the upper and
the lower castles of society whose
needs are diversified, whose relations
are far reaching, whose interests are
multitudinous and whose opportuni
ties of participation in governmental
affairs depend upon their intelligence
and their knowledge of public wei

This Reform Will Last.

Governor Folk believes that the

is to be permanent. In his Wipona
address he said:
Before today there have been IN
our country eseat moral movements,
but they have been local and the
vampire of graft was only temporar-
lily driven away. But today reform
bids fair to be universal. and the
question asked on every side IS Will
it last?"
Reforms sometimes die. but rev
olutions never go backward, aG this
reform is a revolution in the ssnn
sciences of men. 1t cannot die, be-
cause this generation smeans honor.
virtue, worship of God and patrift'
ism that loves country and felloy
man. Christ's life had more inaueIlce
on civilization than the power oil a
hundred kings. This example is what
we need to day--not a patriotism
of lips, but of deeds, and one that is
felt in the heart The patriotism Of
today must pay attention to civic af-
fairs and the getting of good men in
Office, and fighting evil"

According to recent immigration
figures for the port of New Yorkalone
of the SS0,543 aliens who were adj
mitted into the United States during
the fiscal year just ended, over %
per cent were Italians The jewish
immigrants numbered 125,00o, but for
this large total notorious evils and
atrocities in large measure. There
is nothing strange about movement
of population that results directly
from massacres to stimulate emigra-
ton, and the arrivals we are admit
ting from that country are not ref
ugees" liz any sense, but workmen il.
quest of better industrial opportn-
mites. Italian workmen come here
because employment is to be had
almost everywhere on good terms-a-
wages that are extraordinarily high
to Italian workmen The South
wants them: railroads doing construc
ton work stand ready to employ
them, and contractors from various
parts of the West and Northwest are
competing for their labor.
Italy is fairly prosperous now. He.
finances are in fine shape. her credit
is good and her industries are ex-
banding. But notwithstanding her re
cent progress the demand for labor in
her cities is not equal to the supply
and for this reason we had 221 900
Italian arrivals last (fscaD year and
are certain to get as many, if not
even more, next year. the year after,
and SO on, as long as our prosperity
lasts at all events.
The movement is remarkable one
from any point of view. 1t seems,
however, that thousands OF the Italian
immigrants are mere birds of pas
sge" They do not come to stay
and be assimilated; they do not con-
template American citizenship. They
spend the spring, summer and fall
months here, save all they can and
return to Italy to spend the winter
and invest their Accommodations in LAM
of put them in the savings banks. 1t
is known that thousands have ''cross
/ ed the ocean" several times with a
view to employment merely. Wheth
| er it is better for the United States
that all immigrants should remain
here and become naturalized, or
whether the development of bird
passage phase of immigration is o
the whole good thing, is ques-
ton upon which opinions differ. We
want the labor of these Italians, and
they earn their wages by the sweat o!
their brow What they save is
theirs, to invest and spend as the,
will; but of course. the money they
send or take home enriches their ma
tive country at the expense, in sens
of this.
How much of American money has
thus gone to Italy no one is in a pc
sition to estimate 1t is interesting.
however, in this connection to note
that, according to Consul General
de Castro at Rome, the savings
bank deposits in Italy show wonderfu,
growth. In 1870 the deposits ag-
gregated s69, $4,000, while at the end
of 1904 they amounted to SAIL 500, 900
To this must be added the $19s, 900,
oco in the postal savings banks and
the sums deposited in the peoples
Banks and other institutions. 1t is
supposed, and not without reason, in
view of the immigration facts, that
much of this money was made in
America"

"BLACK GANGS
Are Organizing and Being Armed in
Russla-Military Guard
Increased.

Moscow, May 30.-The bureaucracy
is arming government servants with
the latest pattern of rifles and re-
volvers. Agents of the bureaucracy
here and at other large centers of
population are alleged to be organiz-
ing and arming "black gangs" Very
little hope is expressed that the pres
ent trouble will end without much
bloodshed.
The military guard in the Duma
halls has been increased, owing TO the
belief of the leaders in the rumored
plot of the bureaucracy to send depu-
tation in force to Duma meeting, for
the purpose of creating scene, and
thereby enabling General Trepoff to
dispatch troops for the ostensible pur-
pose of putting down the disturbance,
but really pretext to arrest all of the
deputies and put an end 20 the ses
sions OF the Duma.
