A CRUMBLING ALLIANCE

The triple alliance is being gradu-
ally, but certainly, undermined by rea-
son Of the growth Of a diyerging senti-
ment. Germany and Austria may be
said to have a very strong bond of
sympathy between them. More than
that. they have a policy in which they
are fairly in accord. On the other
hand, there is a growing sentiment
among the people of Italy that her in
terests not only are coming to lie apart
from those of Germany and Austria,
but in an embarrassing degree are in
conflict with those of the other two
countries.
Away up at the extreme end of the
Adriatic, close to the boundary be-
tween Italy and Austria. is the city Of
Trieste, located on a gulf of the same
name Austria, whose relations with
Germany are most cOngenial, is said to
have accorded to Germany the right
to assemble war vessels in the harbOr
Of Trieste, and TO use the Austrian
port for commercial purposes. Being
the Adriatic port nearest the German
southern frontier, and the chief sea-
port Of Hungary, this use of
Trieste is of great advantage 10 the
kaiser. But historically Italy's senti-
mental claim 10 the gulf of Trieste is
such as TO make it's use by a foreign
fleet a thorn in her flesh. TwO-thirds
of the inhabitants of Trieste are Ital-
ans. Italy is inclning toward France
in point Of sentiment and away from
Germany and Austria.

WORTHY EXAMPLE

The head of the powder trust, Gen
eral DUPONT. sets an excellent exam
pie in declaring that he will leave but
81 600, 600 10 his family. the remainder
of his immense fortune to be devoted
TO the public welfare The particular
line OF public benefaction that has ap-
pealed to Dupont is the construction
OF permanent modern highways.
Should General Dupont adhere TO
his declared purpose he will contrib
ute b0th to the public welfare and at
the same time set a fine example in
the wisesr provision for his family.
To leave a million dollars to the mem
bers of family is to leave them. all
that can possibly contribute to their
welfare, with some to spare II is
enough to relieve them of that neces-
>ily for personal eXertiOn and creative
energy that made the fiber of the man
who created the fortune. That is the
point that marks the limit Of deyelop-
ment in many a family line.

OUR PLATFORM.

In the whole the tentative platform
published in the Monitor last week
will probably meet the approval of the
rank and file of Vermont republicans.
Certain planks appear to bother
candidates for legislative honors who
represent some faction or interest
rather than the people but this is all
the greater reason for the ultimate
adoption of these planks.
The plank relating to the nominal
ing system appeals to the Monitor as
8 sensible one and one which reaches
q happy medium between the systems
now in use in some states and the
present system now in use here. The
Monitor is inclined to doubt the wis.
dom however of leaving this reform
to the parties themselves. 1t seems
to US the state should take this mat
ter in hand.
The taxation plank also seems to
be a reasonable one. While it will be
opposed by some interests the mass
of people would certainly be benefit
ed by the adoption of laws that will
bring about the results aimed at in
this plank. This too seems to reach a
place of security between the radical
and conservative taxation reformists.
The planks on publicity of cam
paign expenses, labor and education
all have the right ring to them anC
the draft as a whole is just what
might be expected from the hand Of
L. B. johnson of Randolph, who haC
charge of the preparation of this plat
form.
His exhortation to the party to full
fill it's pledges is timely and to tn
Monitor is the most important poin
in the platform. If we fulfill GU
pledges and find them bad we shall the
look more sharply to what we pledg
and if we do not fulfill our pledge
we are promising something we d
not give This latter may be charac
terized by that short and ugly wor
which no one likes to use.
