bakeries. which have been installed in
a number of places, was preceded by
the installation, of a number of co-op-
erative ovens in smaller villages in
Friaul in the province Of Udine during
the last century. These institutions
were prompted by the desire to combat
the terrible pellagra, which was quite
common in that district and which is
not entirely unknown in the United
States. -.
The evolution of cooperative and
communal ovens. and the interest TAX
en- by the Catholic clergy in this form
of service to the people is outlined by
Gisela Michels-L indner, in a treatise
entitled History of Modern Commun-
al Enterprises in Italy," contained in a
large work on Municipal Enterprises
compiled at the suggestion of the Ger
man Society for Social Politics. The
first to encourage the institution of
these communal ovens were Catholic
priests, who were urged by the desire
to provide cheaper wheat bread for the
people, since pellagra is due to a great
extent, to the consumption of corn in
some form or other. In this scientific
work the Able Rinaldo Annelli is
named as "a jealous pioneer of the
opening of bakeries to combat pei
lagra." This priest invented new
cheap sort of bread and new process
of baking, and opened several ovens on
a cooperative basis in Lombardy, No.
varese and the F,riaul.
Owing to the poverty of the people
the original cooperative system did
not flourish Consequently Dom Pietro
Baracchini, Catholic priest in Pasian di
Prato,. and Giuseppe Manzini, secre-
tary of the Institute Technico in Udine
undertook, as pioneers, the installation
of communal ovens under autonomous
management. In 1884 they opened the
first oven of this type, in Pasian di

WEST VIRGINIA's WHIMPERING.

The State Of West Virginia has at last agreed
to a conference with the Virginia debt com
mission looking to a settlement of the long.
pending controversy involving the amount due
the bondholders of the mother State. The CON
ference Is to be held In Washington on July
25th. AS The V~ir0inian understands the situa.
tion the only matter at issue is the determine
ton of the amount of interest due by West
Virginia. the Supreme Court of the United States
having already fixed the principal of the debt OF
the state prior to It's partition.
The Danville Bee, which is inclined to be
somewha pceved at West Virginia for its dila-
tory tactics. sees no reason for any conference
at all since ut Is a simple matter Of mathe-
MATES to compute the interest" Quite true,
but West Virginia will continue to back and
fill on the interest which will amount SO some
millions, Just az she has on the principal, and
the commission from that State VIII endeavor
10 effect a compromise which will let West Vir-
ginia off as cheap as possible.
Continues the Bee:
Had West Virginia shown a disposition years
ago to meet Virginia half way in this matter
or to accept the overtures made to her by Vir-
ginia years ago our sister State might have been
spared the humiliation OF being made a defen-
dant. before the highest court of the land in
q final effort to make her pay her just debts.
After having ignored all overtnres and being
finally brought 10 judgment unwillingiy, that
State will yet bear watching. We trust that the
Virginia commission wifi stand unalterably for
the full amount of the principal allotted to West
Virginia by the courts and that no concession
or compromise of any sort will be made or
considered. West Virginia deserves no con-
sideration in this matter, for it's course has not
been at all creditable to her. Its offer of a con-
ference is tardy and puts that State in n sup
plant attitude that 1t need not have assumed
had it been prompt to settle its just obliga-
tons.
The Bee calls attention to the fact that only
recently the Charleston Gazette was editorially

AMERICAS SHAME.

The Baltimore American calls attention to

sador to Great Britain, has taken a house for
which he pays a rental Of $50. 900 a year. The
salary of the post is ST, 900. 1.-THE house. saws

cupied by his predecessor, and there will be
no effort to maintain the pace sc, by the late
Whitelaw Reid. But an American ambassador,
no matter how democratic he may be, must live
in a manner BETTING his station. He cannot
take himself out of all social relations, his du-
ties are partly social. He must entertain to
some extent, and must have a home in which
he can do 1t in a dignifed way. His social
status is fixed for him.
The question is whether the American people
think 1t is fitting that the men whom they send
to represent them abroad should be forced to
necessary expenses. A recent writer in the
A mericdm Magazine showed that there are
charges against an ambassador or minister for
which the government makes no allowance. II

Page will be under obligation to send a costly
wreath paid for out of his own pocket. II

wedding present, and a costly one. would be
expected. Here again the gift. though from a
man who presents II in the name of his gov
eminent, is paid for by the ambassador. There
are many such items. No one desires mere
show for shows sake. On the contrary, we re-
ioice at the manifest purpose Of the present ad-
ministration to lead the way back to simpler
living. But is 1t too much to ask that the
government provide proper homes for Its repre-
sentatives abroad, and pay them enough to en-
able them to meet all proper obligations and to
live without trenching on their private means?
The American might have gone further and
added that but for the fact that DR.. Pages
salary and dividend accounts from the Double
day-Page Company continue during his absence
abroad he would come out at the little end of
the horn.

by the very circumstances OF the case put him

in good society face his bride and her family
with a proposal to go to the civil authorities
because the clergy required him to produce a
physicians certificate that he was not unclean?
Every clergyman must decide for himself and
we do not undertake to controvert the argu-

noble minister of the church. and does his own

he decides right from his point of view. for
he is guided by a Christianized conscience. But

EXCLUDING REPUBLICANS.

On the surface the complaint OF the RepubIi-
Democratic majority of banking and currency
committee from the sessions held for considera.
ton of the new currency bill is well based.
Theoretically. all the members of the committee
should meet together 10 consider the measure
word by word and TO study out what is best
for the country. Practically, the Republicans
In congress seem to be more intent on jockeying
for political position and advantage than on
doing service, averting perils. pointing out
errors or suggesting improvements. Their at
titude does not encourage the suggestion of
taking them into close consultation on measures
Of vital and general Importance.
Illustration OF this unhappy truth is found in
the course of Senator Smoot, Republican leader,
toward the new tariff bill. He prepared a
lengthy document pointing out defects in the
bill. as seen from his standpoint. Instead of
submitting this for the guidance and informa-
ton of those laboring on the construction of
the new schedules, he hid II, practically, kept

All this Ia unpleasant to the great thinking

They do not want their interests and those of
the country to be dealt with like a gambling

Democratic members of the banking and cur

working out their bill without Republican assis-
lance. 1t seems evident that the Republicans
would be present as. spies and obstructionists
rather than as faithful helpers and co-laborers,
There will be opportunity on the floors of
both houses for the Republicans to present OBJ
lection and argument. The bills will be before
them and the country In full. They seem to
have preferred to take the position Of critics
and prophets Of calamity instead of assisting in
any work of construction. Their dependence, ap-
%parently, is more on their chances of pointing
out Democratic blunders than on their ability
