Massachusetts, Able Senator.
(Glens Falls Times.)

Among the few men in public life
who have been tried repeatedly and
never found wanting or unequal to the
emergency in wisdom, work or service
is J ohm w. Weeks, senator from Mas
sachusetts. lie is a representative of
great force and character, and people
who have met John w. Weeks believe
in him.
His rise in national politics has been
rapid since 1905, when he was elected
q representative to Congress from
Massachusetts. and his rise has been
entirely due to merit and accomplish
ment.
Senator Weeks is an authority on
many subjects, but especially on ma
val affairs, postal affairs, conservation
and banking. One of his character
istics is the thoroughness with which
he takes hold of any subject, and
whenever problem is to he solved
his solution may be depended upon t.
be along the lines of constructive i'm
rrOvement.
Because of his great capacity fol
work and his devotion to national at
| fairs since he has been in Washington
there is probably no question of M

ItalY's Aspirations.

The motives which inspired Italy to
enter the war were told by the Italian
premier Signor Salandra, III a great
speech in the Roman capital. The prime
minister IS speech is interesting as set
ting forth officially the aspirations of
the Italian people.
Signor Salandra reminded his audi
ence that the late Marquis di San
Guilano had formally declared to Aus
tria that Italy could not approve of the
attack on Serbia. He reminded them
of all the acts of disloyalty committed
by Germany and Austria during the
war in Lydia, the Austrian threats of
attack on Italy in 1907, the later
threats of making war on Italy if she
attacked Turkey in Europe, and the
prohibition of the occupation of Chios.
That was how the Alliance operated.
The premier recounted the last con
cessions offered in order to prevent
Italy from declaring war. They were
| ridiculous concessions which Italy could
mot even discuss, and by accepting
them Italy would have become a vassal
state of Germany and Austria. The
premier concluded his speech with the
/ inspiring passage:
| Since destiny has entrusted to our
generation the terrible and sublime
task of realizing the ideal of a great
/ Italy which the heroes of the resur.
rection were not to see accomplished
| let us accept this task in a dauntless
spirit ready to give the country our
selves, all that we are and all that we
have. Let all eyes turn to the tri
color which waves over the camp neal
the sacred person of the king. In this
iSion we shall conquer Long live Italy
Long live the king!"

The Awful Cost of War.

The money cost of the European war
is beyond the comprehension of the
ordinary man. 1t is said that the cost
to England alone is $15,Oo0,0OO a day,
and without doubt it is proportionate-
ly as great to the other nations in
yolved. And when to this enormous
outlay of capital is added the fright
full loss of life and property it hardly
seems as if the war viii be worth what
it costs. It looks as if it was about
time for the world to begin to cult
vate on economic" grounds, if nc
