ITALY'S MEMORIAL.

There is interest in the coincidence
that while America Is concentrating
the semi centenary of the beginning OF
the Civil War Italy is celebrating the
like anniversary Of the substantial
achievement of her unity and inde-
pendence. Not until ten years later WIS
the work completed. in the occupation
Of Rome As the capital Of the restored
kingdom. But by 1861 all else was ac-
complished and the last step was made
inevitable and mere matter OF short
time. Italian unity dates from the time
when Garibaldi made the King OF Sar-
DINA also King Of the Two Sicilies.
Then those minor titles lapsed and there
arose King Of Italy.
1t was a superb achievement. worthy
Of the great memorial which patriotic
piety has erected upon the Capitoline
Hill. 1t was almost if not quite unique
in the history Of the world, for 1t was
the practical recreation Of realm which
had been destroyed. Nowhere else has
that been done. or done with anything
like the completeness and success which
marked its accomplishment in Italy.
Greece was liberated but as only the
merest fraction and shadow Of her for
mer self. 4 new German Empire has
been erected, but Germany, though sub
divided almost into chaos. never lost
native control as Italy did. The taunt
of Metternich was more than justified
before Victor Emmanuers time. The
geographical expression was the prey
and spoil Of all the world.
It was more arduous task to recreate
an independent and united Italy than to
carve a new realm out Of wilderness.
Vested abuses are harder to overthrow
than mere savagery. And there were
obstacles both within and without.
There was the Kaiser at Vienna, and
there was Bombalino at Naples; besides
a French Emperor who bought and sold
those who trusted in him. There was
also the burdening doubt whether peo-
pie so long disunited and oppressed
could be revivifed with the spirit OF
unity and freedom.
To the solution Of these problems and
the performance Of these labors the
King addressed himself In something
better than the spirit of one Of Tassos
own knights. With Cavour and Carl
baIdi he formed the trinity Of Italian re-
demption. But he himself was the
greatest and the indispensable member
Another might have taken the place OF
Cavour and another that II Garibaldi.
Victor Emmanuel was the only man
who could unite the crowns Of Sardinia
and Naples and make one kingdom with
one King from the Alps TO the Tarentine
Gulf. What the Washington Monument
Is to the United States the monument to
Victor Emmanuel is to United italy.

EUROPE, THE AMERICAS AND THE
CANAL.

That is a pertinent and timely ques-
ton which, according TO our Paris CORE
spondent, American business men abroad
are asking about the Panama Canal
whether it will prove beneficial or detri-
mental TO American commercial inter
ests. BY American we here mean
those of the United States. But it is
necessary 10 remember that there is
another America TO the south OF us,
only less great than this, to which the
waterway at Panama will be of the
most direct interest and the inter
course of which with the rest of the
world is likely TO he materially affected
by the opening of that highway Of trade
and travel.
1t has long been notorious that the
commerce of the United States with
most South American countries is not
nearly so large as it ought 10 be- in
comparison with that OF Great Britain
and Germany. and the reasons for the
deficiency have been much discussed.
Conspicuous among them is the lack Of
an American mercantile marine plying
to South American ports. 1t may be
that other investments of capital pay
better than ships and that this is why
more American ships are not built, but
the fact remains that the lack of ships
is q grave handicap to the extension of
trade. Those nations whose merchant
flags are oftenest seen are likely TO be
regarded with greatest favor as the ma
lions with which II is best 10 trade.
The opening ~ the Panama Canal
may not greatly affect trade with the
eastern countries of the South American
Continent. but it will mark an epoch in
tho history Of trade with the rich West
Coast. and the question of dominance in
the new era is of much importance.
Practically all the commerce to ana
from Chill. Peru and Ecuador will pass
through the canal But under what
flag? Already we hear Of the prepare
ton of steamship lines Of other nations
FOR that British, German,
French. Austrian. Italian. japanese
Peruvian. Announcements of American
lines are lacking. And yet such lines
,cust be established If we are 70 enjoy
the nroper benefits Of the work which
we are executing at so great IN eN-
pense.
II would be an unfortunate rehechon
unop our sagacity and enterprise 10

EXCISE AGENTS AND POLITICS.

EXCISE AGENTS AND POLITICS.
The fact that there has been politics
In the State Excise Department In spite
of civil service rules is no reason why
State Excise Commissioner Farley
should fill the department with politics.
But that is what his proposal and his
argument from the letters OF Repupn-
can politicians to his predecessors IN
office amount TO. Moreover, the Com
missioner goes long way back for EVIL
dence of the political activity OF excise
agents. Some Of the letters which he
has Just published bear dates in 1896;
most Of them are no more recent than
1908, and only one-on its face merely an
ordinary letter of recommendation
recent as last year is given out. That
Republican bosses used to write in 1896
to have excise agents detailed where
they might serve in primary fights Is
no reason why in 1911 the whole class
of agents should be taken out or the
connective division and the places mica
with political henchmen.
If Mr.. Farley has evidence OF po-
litical activities against individual men,
bers Of his force he should employ II 10
get rid Of those offensive partlsans,' not
TO fill the entire department with men
who will use their offices to aid in car
rying primaries. The saloon in politics
has been crying evil in the past. which
the non-partisan excise agent selected
under civil service rules has done much
to abate. Mr. Farley's plan proposes
to bring the saloon back into politics 10
the fullest extent by putting excise In
spections into the hands of men who owe
their places to politica. bosses" and who
will use their authority to blackmall
saloonkeepers into making party con-
tributions and aiding the controlling FAC
ton in a party to win primaries and
the party in office to win elections. And
this scheme to use the Excise Depart
ment to control the saloon vote Is
urged on the ground that previous ad-
ministrations were not entirely success
full in preventing the Excise Depart
ment from being used for that purpose!
