Blamed with Evil Eye.

Sig. Giovanni Giolitti. the Italian
prime minister, suffers from popular
superstition that he has the evil eye.
Recently Sig. Majorana, minister of
the treasury, retired from the cabinet
because he had been seized with a
serious illness. He is the sixteenth
statesman associated with Sig. Giolitti
to have been stricken down, If not by
death, at least by some serious all
ment, since the premier's rise to
power. In Giolitti's first cabinet four
of his ministers died in Office In his
second two died and four others were
brought near to deaths door. In his
third administration one minister com.
mitted suicide, another died, and Sig.
Tittoni was prostrated by cerebral
congestion. In the present cabinet
disease and death still pursue Giolit.

declares his belief that the date will

Fraternities and SororIties.

cent years that the opposition to col.

fraternities, sororities and secret so.
cieties has manifested any strength or
conference; but now it has reached a
stage where it is almost national in
its extent. During legislative sessions
of the past winter at least half a
dozen states passed laws prohibiting
such organizations in public schools,
and in several other states there have
been court decisions upholding the
right Of school committees to regulate
them, by excluding the members from
school and class honors and from
school athletics. The charges against
the fraternities and sororities are old
enough to be well established, says
Youths Companion. Snobbishness,
inattention to school work, extrava-
gance, and the fostering of spirit
which gives allegiance to a clique
rather than to school or class, are

the societies in the schools, but those
in the colleges, are in disfavor. The
feeling does not extend to all the col
leges, by any means, for conditions
vary greatly. Some societies are al
most If not wholly free from the
charges which lie against others, and
have grown to fill useful and whole

In high schools it is hardly possible to
find any good excuse 1t is curious,
since school committees find so much
difficulty in suppressing these socie-
ties, that parents have exerted so lit
tie influence in opposition to them.
The root of the matter lies in the
home, not in the school committee
room; and when the fathers and moth
ers take the interest in the matter
which they should take. appeals to
state courts will not be necessary.

WASHINGTON. oct. 21-A singular
aspect Of the Prohibition agitation
Throughout the country Is noted by In
ternal revenue officials, VINO are watch

Prohibition appears to be rampant in
the South and some other sections,
Maine citizens, where state wide Pro-

object Of repeating Prohibition, and IL
looks very much as if the next cleo

change existing laws and permit the
sale of liquors according to county
option.
"The whole truth Of IT," said high
revenue official who has been TO Maine

the country are rushing into an eXperi-
ment that will sicken all their citizens
before it is finished while Maine. after

Alice Brings Up Subject.
Mr.. Alice brought up the subject Of
the local option campaign by calling
attention to the impression some per-
sons have that the Republican Com.
mittee is taking a hand IN the eamt
paign because they think L. G. Click.
who is in charge Of Republican hea L.
quarters. has been assisting some Of
the license men in organizing for their
campaign. 1t was pointed out that
Mr.. Click is entitled TO hold any op.n-
ion he chooses on the subject, but no
mistaken impression should be allowed
to exist that ne was acting for the
Republican Committee enc way or the
other in the local option campaign.
Several members spoke Of the sub
jeet and some resolutions we're offered
reitefating the neutral attitude Of the
State committee IN the present cam-
paign. A resolution 10 that effect was
adopted at a meeting Of the committee
three months ago. Because Of that the
heitefati0n of the resolution to-day
was deemed useless, and Chairman du-
