Defends Fair Weather Prediction For
inauguration Day.

Washington, March II. = "Hyster-
zeal abuse" is the stormy English
which Willis L. Moore, chief OF the
United States weather bureau, hurls
at the newspaper critics who have
found fault with the weather bureau
for predicting Fair weather for inaug-
uration day." when the day turned
out to be one of the worst imaginable,
due to what the forecaster later
termed "a bareback" Mr.. Moore de-
clares that the same forecast would
be made today ii similar conditions
existed"
In upholding the work Of the b1-
reau, Mr.. Moore says that lin the
past about one prediction out of ten
failed to be verified, and it may be
expected that the same ratio viii be
maintained until meterology can be
made what it is not now-an exact
science"

THE TRUCE IN ITALY.

Premier Giolitti's success in the
Italian elections, insuring the Min
istry more than two-t thirds of the
Chamber, is the first fruit of an event
of worldwide Importance, the recent
truce between the BLACKS" and
Whites" between the party of the
Pope and the party of the King.
The feud began in 1871 with the
occupation of Rome by Victor En-
manuel and the assumption by the
Pope of the role of prisoner of the
Vatican" For thirty eight years
"non expedit" has been the rule of the
church-that it was not expedient fol
Catholics to take part in nationa
elections. The tendency of this alb
stention was to deprive Italy of the
votes and political services of some
of her best citizens.
The rule was never strictly en-
forced. 1t did not apply to munich
nal elections, yet the vote cast a
these was sometimes only per cen
greater than that cast for Deputies
For some years better understand
ing between the two parties has beer
noted, and even in the last Chamber
there were seven Clerical members
The rule. of abstention is not yet fully
abolished, but its suspension in sew
enty-two districts shows where the
sympathies of the Vatican lie.
Church and State are, after a gen
GRAFTON of misunderstanding, united
against the Socialists and Anti Cler-
'icals. Socialism in Italy has never
gained the support of so many bus
mess men as the Social Democrats
enjoy in Germany, or so many SIN
tellectuals" as in Germany, France
and England. The Italian dynasty
which was a leader in political re-
forms at time when the Austrian
Emperor and Prssian King were
shooting or driving into exile their
best citizens, has earned the affection
Of the people. In Eutting aside alb
solute power it gained in influence
The Vatican has been largely de-
termined to make political peace will

struggle in France. The nation and
the church are both stronger for their

instances furnish machinery for the
work. The people of the community
to be benefited are expected to furnish
common labor and teams and to have
competent men on hand who are to be
taught methods of road construction
under the conditions that prevail In
that community. After the piece of
experimental road is built it is expect
ed that the good work shall go on.
One of the recent works begun by
the Office of public roads is the con-
structiOn of road from the station at
Occoquan, Va, to the old town of Oc-
coquan, a distance of two and half
miles. The road was good sample of up
hill and down dale, with mud almost
any depth, until the experts in road
building got hold of and improved it.
In order to obtain the assistance of
the department application must be
made by the properly constituted local
authorities who have legal control of
the roads in their community. The as
sistance given is intended to be purely
educational. The ability Of the depart
ment to furnish machinery is a great
help to many communities, as in that
way the local authorities get q prac-
teal demonstration of just what they
are expected to purchase for continu-
ance of the work. The department Sc
cured funds for the purchase of ma
chinery, which it shifts from place to
place as it is needed in its expert
mental work.
The department has begun expert
mental roads in many parts of the
country from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and from the Canadian line to the
gulf. Each section requires a some
what different plan of Improvement,
and each time experts make plans for
a community they add TO their fund of
information on the conditions affecting
road building in various sections. 1t
is expected that in the course of a few
years the effect Of this campaign fl /.

throughout the United States. There
are advocates of national aid for road
building, and it is not unlikely that a
strong effort will be made in the next
congress to have an appropriation for
this purpose. In many localities in
which instruction in the building of
good roads and education as to their
desirability are most needed the peo-
pie are unable to secure enough money
to do their part toward the cOnstruc-
ton of the object lesson road. 1t is
believed that If such communities were
given one piece of road as an object
lesson 1t would not be long before they
would provide means for continuing
the work on other roads. This is one
of the arguments that will be used in
favor of national aid and there are
a good many people who believe that
congress will take up this work and
put it through to conclusion, so that a
great impetus toward road construction
will be had all over the United States.

CLAIM SWEDEN
IS Still in AGONY
SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE TELL
OF CONDITIONS IN FAR AWAY
coUNTRY-FEAR OF SOCIALISM
RESULTS IN STRIKE OF WORK
MEN.

The great strike In Sweden, which is
really not a strike in the ordinary sense
of the word, has attracted the atten-
ton and enlisted the interest of the
whole civilized world. The strike is
in fact, according to the representa-
tives OF the strikers now in this coun-
try, a peoples movement, involving
800, 900 workmen who represent a pop
ulation of some 100000. The strik~
ers are out against oppression by the
capitalist class. which is greatly in
fear of socialism, against a reduction
of wages below the bread line, and
against arbitrary and unreasonable
restrictions upon their liberty. The
capitalists of the rest Of Europe are
backing those of Sweden in their de-
termined efforts to break up the labor
movement in that country because of
its alleged socialistic tendency, which
1t is said grows out Of the Industrial
instead Of che craft organization Of
the workers.
Mr.. Sandgren has been sent to this
country as a special representative of
VI SdA4lASu 4dDOI III JWEQGus anu Is
making tour of the United States in
behalf of the strikers, many Of whom
are on the verge of starvation, and
some are already suffering it. The
trouble grew out of lockout in three
industries last July, coupled with the
assurance that If the workmen locked
out did not come, within short time,
to the terms of the Swedish Employers
association the strike would be ex-
tended first to $4,000 and within seven
or eight days after that to $4,000 work
men in many industries, the time for
the latter lockout being fixed as Aug. q.
In consequence of these lockouts the
general strike of all the organized
workers in all the industries was or
dered on Aug. 4. AT the same time
100000 unorganized workmen went out,
but on Sept. these we're sent back
to work for economic reasons. They
are now drawing their wages and CIV
ing half to the strikers.
The labor organizations demanded of
the government that prohibition be
enforced during the strike. This is
being done. The municipal and gov
eminent employees, although members
Vi Tic udbAOA4eti ldDOI were
not allowed to strike. The municipal
employees include those employed in che
gas, water, electric light and street
cleaning departments. The electric
light workers disobeyed orders and
stuck, not because they did not realize
the necessity of discipline, but because
the government had placed a military
guard over them. The government en-
ployes include those in the railway
telephone, telegraph and postal depart
ments. AS there is little freight to
carry and few passengers, half the
trains were taken off and the men are
drawing full pay for half time and are
giving half their wages to the strikers.
Charles H Tholin is in this country
on the same mission as Mr.. Sandgren,
and is the other representative of the
strikers.

this a talk on the subject by menu

No class Of persons suffers more
from this dreadful scourge than la
