ITALIAN CAMP SCHOOLS.
Government of Italy Offers $1,000 for Every
One Established.

The most important work nov being done by the
Society for Italian Immigrants, as shown by the
reports submitted at the sixth annual meeting held
yesterday afternoon AZ the home OF Mrs. William
h Schieffelin No. 2i2 East 18th street. IS in its
camp schools for teaching the immigrants Eng
fish and Americanisms. This work was begun by
Mrs Sarah W. Moore al AspinwalI. Penn. and so
greatly is It appreciated by the Italian government
that il has promised the society grant of $1,000
for every school established. But the field for such
schools in Pennsylvania is thought 10 be too great
for any private organization to deal with. and a
bill has been introduced in the Legislature of the
state to appropriate funds for the establishment
OF evening schools for foreigners wherever there may
be need Of them throughout the state. This bill
has been supported by petitions from foreigners
speaking many strange tongues, and the Educa-
tiona Committee Of the House has reported on IL
favorably. but nevertheless much opposition to IT
is expected.
There is large class Of people" said Mrs.
Moore in addressing yesterdays meeting. who
think that the only thing TO be done for these
people is 10 keep them out. They say all imm-
grants rascals that the educated ones are the
biggest rascals. and that they don't want spend
money to make more rascals. The bill comes be-
fore the House for discussion on Thursday, and
IL any Of YOU have influence with the members l

% the Editor 81 Nc Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard to the statements Of the Mayor
and Commissioner as to present difficulties OF snow
removal, the members Of the WOman's Municipal
League desire 10 ask a few questions which they
deem pertinent.
Realizing and sympathzing with the enormous
difficulties with which the Commissioner has to
contend. they ask that their inquiries be taken
rather as suggestions than criticism While MAX
ing due allowances for handicaps and greeting
with enthusiasm the that the Commissioner
contemplates reforms for the future their anxiety
IS for the present. and the league therefore asks
the Commissioner:
First-How have the $500 svreepers who are on
the payroll OF the department been employed since
the first heavy fall Of snow February 5? Mayor
Mcclellan says that the househoders should clean
the cutters, but that it is almost impossible to en-
force this ordinance. Why, then were not the
white Wings" turned out at once 20 clean the
cutters and sweep broad crosswalks az crossings?
Cnder Colonel Wering the STOW had scarcely
ceased 10 fall when the street sweeper would be

proved by the voters at an election.
This leaves but one municipal street

Middletown, Pa, has abandoned its
municipal electric light plant, for which
it issued $4,000 bonds at 5 per cent
The plant was not only Improbable,
but was becoming obsolete and would
soon have required considerable ex-
penditure for new machinery. 1t was
also found that current could be bought
cheaper than the city could produce it.
The village of Beverly, o., has adj,
vertised for sale its electric light plant.

MUNICIPAL EMPL QYEES SHIRK
That Is One of the Reasons Municipal
Iy Operated Utilities Do Not Paw.

Apropos of the decision of the West
Ham town council to abolish its works
department. the London Evening News
says:
''As matter of fact. municipal trad
ing seldom. if ever. pays, for the sim
pie reason that municipal employees
are merely human and are subject to
the weaknesses of human nature One
OF those weaknesses is the desire to do
the smallest possible amount of wor,,
for the largest possible salary, and
though this IS doubtless a very repre-
hensible and unsociai sentiment. there
is no getting around the fact OF it's ex-
istence. If municipal employees were
filled, as the Socialist leaders fOndly
imagine them to be. with burning de-
sire to labor manfully for the com
munlty and to give at least full mon
ey's worth for their wages, then mu-
nicipal trading would he a bowling
success. Unfortunately the plain fact
is that as soon as you get away from
private enterprise and competition be-
tween man and man you find that peo-
pie begin to slack. and public depart
ments become the abode OF sickness"

The present legislature has added an
other to the list of enactments for
which it will deserve to be kindly re-
membered. The bill referred to pro-
vides that only property of actual,
definite value, saleable and transferable,
shall be available for use by corpora
tions in Michigan as items of paid.up
capital. Heretofore 'paid.up capital
has included anything of real or alleged
value which the incorporators wished
to add to their list, and many schemes
which possessed little else than extrav-
agant expectation have been given a
standing which they did not deserve
through the illegitimate items of their
declared ''paid.up capital" The new
NV provides that at least three of the
incorporators shall make affidavits as
to the actual value of the property
listed

Bryan on Weekly Papers.

The principal address at the recent
annual meeting of the Minnesota Press
Association in st. Paul was not on the
program. William Jennings Bryan
was in town. and, as he missed train,
had some time to spare and was pre-
vailed upon to make speech to the ed
itors He said in part:
Il want to say word about the
weekly newspaper; want to make a
suggestion. Our great daily papers
are becoming more and more business
enterprises and less political factors.
The trouble is, they are owned mainly
by rich men, and as a rule, the men
who have enough business sense to &C
cumulate the money required to own
one of them haven't enough editorial
ability to guide the editorial depart
ment. Hence these papers are edited
by hired men. \Such editors almost
necessarily lack the conscience and
personality of the country editor.
Therefore they also lack his influence.
A country editor, known personally to
his public, yields more influence
through his thousand subscribers than
does city editor, personally unknown,
through his 10000 subscribers. In
proportion as we put character behind
the editorial position we shall add infiu-
anoa 70 Tho xraoIy1x, ,,raaa
THE public must place an increas-
ing reliance upon the country papers
for leadership in political affairs. Each
party should strengthen its country
press"
