hardest working and relatively
poorest paid class of American

Every substantial improvement
in mining conditions has been
brought about outside of and be-
yond these organizations. So
far as Colorado is concerned, all
that the Union has accomplished
was wreck. ruin, and carnage.
The real assault upon dcmoc-

uaI may vote.
Labor has never been present
ed with a fairer, saner or more
practical adjustment of its rela-
tons with its employers than
what is known as the Colorado
Plan. There is no reason why
men like Mr.. Post and Mr.. Com
pers and other magnateS of the
labor trust should not oppose its
adoption, and so far rs possible
interfere with its operation. 1t
is the monkey-wrench that has
been thrown into their machinery.
And while they have been willing
to wreck and ruin the prosperity
of Labor as well as Capital, ii be.

color when they find their own
ill-gotten revenues impcriIed.
The Colorado Plan. while it
may be much modified as it is de-
veloped under experience, has in
it the possibility of freedom for
the small proportion Of American
labor which has been ensnared
by the Trust. 1t also affords a
system of protection for labor
which is already free. Out Of
it can be worked and undoubtedly
will he brought. a sane and "a
tional system of organized labor
which will give to every individ-
ual the liberty of expression and
freedom Of action upon which
true democracy must always rest
and that without submitting to

thing we must bow to before all with amaze
ment and grateful admiration"
At the beginning of the war, D'Annunzio
was in Paris. where he flung himself into an
ardent sympathy with France, but with the
growth of the pro-war sentiment IN Italy,
overwhelmed by his sense of the kinshlp OF the
Latin peoples, he returned to Florence, but not
as an organizer. His was no part of creating
public sentiment nor spreading it, but the artist
in him, sympathetic, sensitive to popular emo
tion could do nothing else-he spoke. The
time and the place were the commemorative
exercises of the ffteth anniversary of the
Garbaldi expeditions.
The speech was made in one of the lesser
Italian towns, but it was destined to be heard
the world around. Berlin was listening and
Vienna dreaded what she knew must come.
The man was Italys memory. To him each
chapter in the last years had been full of the
degraded pride of ones own person, for poet
patriots with white and eternal heat regard
their countrys equivocaI positions. Forty
eight and 80 and 66 were always real to him.
The memory of an artist is forever resurrect-
ing.
To him as to the students in Trieste the
twenty years of unkept promise for an Italian
university and the brutality of the police at
every student protest, was sign of greater
and i'll things yet to come if Austria were not
stayed in her will
He was the very echo of the groan that rang
from hearts Italian when Prince Hohenohe, the
Governor General of Trieste dismissed from
service all the Italians, no matter how long
in service, who held municipal and government
posts. The harshness and suspicion involved
famed down the whole peninsula.
1t is in a measure unfair to speak again the
words that D'Annunzio spoke that day. 1t is
so manifesty among the tasks impossible to
render the purity Of his flame, the living in
candescence of the speech as it fell from his
lips in the inspired sweetness of the original
Italian.
Happy those who have more, for more shall
they be able to give; happy those who are in
but the twentieth year, with a chaste mind,
temperate body and courageous mother;
happy those who, waiting and full Of conf
dence, did not dissipate their strength, but
kept it in the discipline of the warrior; happy
those who despised all sterile loves to be vir-
ginal to this first and last love- happy those
who have in their hearts deep hate, for with
their own hands shall they extirpate it and
make their offering.
Happy those who, having but yesterday
cried out against the event, accept now in
silence our high necessity, and, no more last,
come first; happy are the youths who are hun
CRY and thirst after glory, for they shall be
satisfied; happy the compassionate, for they

German capital was good to Italy. but was it
not somehow remotely like the case, which al
ways excites suspicion, of a guardian who
faithfully increases the fortune of his ward
and marres her himself out of hand or like
fattening fowls? Certain it is that groups Of
Italians felt kind of uneasiness lest they
were paying for kindness by the relnquish-
ment of national secret strings.
To D'Annunzio these banking problems had
no interest-the great essential lay in rousing
Italy to sense of the defence she needs must
make against the robust alien Kultur of the
North that in its gathering momentum dimin-
shed the will to grow of Latin faith in its
own art.

advisedy D'Annunzio's success in France
since he went four years ago to Paris has been
one of the wonders of the literary and artistic
world, so that he fell into a position of more

Of "San Sebastian" in middle French, this
striking tribute:
To-day French literature counts a new

French directly La Vile Morte' and that the
verses given by Madame Sarah Bernhard were

written in the poetic form, is really prose. The

By T. S. Evans.

THE story of Italy and the great war is
the story Of Gabrielle D'Annunzio. Who
knows the history of his passion for
Italy and the widening circle Of his love that
shrines the Latin peoples, and can interpret
the peculiar quality of his contributions to this
last tense period in Italian history, knows best
the story Of why, with month on month Of
warning and the spread canvas of the great
debacle Italy flashed at the end and sent her
gray green egions against her ancient enemy.
One version after another has come by post
and cable. and explanation upon explanation
in the months Of tedious nerve wracking ten
sion, while diplomacy played for peace in Rome,
has come our way. From the harshness of the
German comment when the end has come, with
Its vehement scon Of craven Italy, to accounts
of an Italy playing a sordid game to catch
some profit and finging lives away for cal
cuated material gain, to the story Of an Italy
infamed by feverish poet and jingoed into
ralyng to Italia I,ycdcnto, demagogued into
the great war, the conflicting tales come.
SIGNOR STRAPPO QUAGLIOS VERSION.
But Strappo Quaglio, in New York, friend
of D'Annunzio, discards them all, and going
back to the story of the great Italian poet,
gives detailed account of Gabrielle D'Annn-
zio's feeling for the Italy Of the Adriatic. He
never speaks Of D'Annunzio, however, as the
man whose burning words, to the reader of
cable dispatches, seemed like the drop Of the
hat, but always as the artist.
1t has seemed as if the nation were one man
or that one man were Italy, so clear his call
has been, so unalterable and unforgettable his
phrases. 1t is the artist speaking.
Curious it is that in high moments of Italian
history all that the country is and hopes should
have been welded into the symbolic PERSONAL
ties of two men, Garibaldi and D'Annunzio,
and two men in calibre and manner so dis
tinctly opposite. For Garibaldi was definitely
the leader pressing, leading, driving, setting
his torch for Italy. With D'Annunzio. not so
he has not set the torch lie is the torch, made
from the cumulative flames of the folk heart
of Northern Italy, the artists gardener who
lent his spirit for the showing Of the emotion
of his countrymen. The moment of his speak
ING what wild yet inarticulate was on the lips
of common Italy was the moment when, as
national poet, he was called to make the COM
memorative speech at the anniversary of the
famous expedition Of .Garibaldi that united the
two Sicilies and gave back Naples to the
Kingdom of Italy.

AT New York we maintain the largest force
of inspectors stationed at any city IN the
United States. This is no more than right,
inasmuch as New York has the greatest
amount of shipping and the largest number OF
ships to he examined. Thirty men are busy
all the time, investigating, inspecting and re-
porting upon the condition of the steamers
sailing from New York, and every excursion
and ferry vessel is inspected at least four
times year.
ANNUAL SPRING INSPECTION.
"The annual inspection usually takes place.
in the case of excursion steamers, at the be-
ginning of the summer season, and is the only
inspection for which the owners of the vessel
are warned and told to be ready. In fact, the
master Of the boat or the owners request this
inspection every year and ask for an appoint
ment. At least two inspectors are assigned to
the work, and it usually takes them the rest
part of day to cover the ship thoroughly
At the end of their examination they transmit
to Washington detailed report Of what they
have found-the date of construction of the
hull and boilers, the condition of the hull and
the general condition of the essential portions
Of the vessel, the number of passengers that
should be allowed on board, the total capacity
of the lifeboats, and all other information
