\ Fitting Memorial

The recent inauguration of the heroic statue
of King Victor Emmanuel H. in Rome was
made the occasion for a tremendous patriotic
celebration. The announcement that this
mortal IS 40 feet in height, weighs
thing like 80 tons and Will when COM
pleted in the neighborhood of $40, 600. 600 gives
the idea that the Italian nation must be-
lieve that this particular monarch Is indeed
worthy OF comnlemoration
Victor Emmanuel II. came to the throne III
the dark spring of 1919, when those who had
long prayed for a united Italy might Well have
thought their cause at nadir. His accession
precipttated by the addiction OF his brave
but unfortunate father. Charles Albert, who
had been crushingly defeated by the Austrians
To say that Victor Emmanuel chiefly
sponsbe for the glory and success which came
gradually but surely during the next twenty
years would be to rob the memory of
Cavour of laurels justly his. but il IL not be
denied that the genius and persistence of the
great minister would have awaited but little
had IL been for the steady and courageous
support he received from the throne whose
commission he held.
To any one who reflects upon what the uni
fication of Italy has meant in terms of pro-
gress and improved conditions surprise will
be occasioned by the tremendous monument

Some strange doctrines are being preached
these days In the name Of tariff reform. For
instance Golfers Weekly, the organ Of Repu b.
lican insurgency and the near-organ of Theo-
dnrc Roosevelt. declares It the duty of the Sen
alto insurgents to vote for Canadian reciprocity.
even though it should hurt their constituents
rs there" it asks, ANY sincere consistent
course open to the Senate insurgents except to
pass the first of these, reciprocity, IL It
does hurt their own constituents and then de-
mand the immediate passage OF the others?"
Proc eding, 1t answers the question In the mega
tive.
For one thing. we cannot understand how re-
ctrrocity could be essential to the general
welfare II 1t will hurt the people OF the States
represented in the Senate by nsurgent Republi-
cans, for If ii will hurt the people OF Iowa, Kan
sas, Idaho Wisconsin, California and Minnesota,
OF other States And there certainly must be
ething wrong in measure that will injure
50 people.
Golfers hysteria on the tariff is further
shown by it's reply to an inquiry from citizen
OF Virginia to which of the two candidates
for the Senate he should support Senator Mar
