The Point on which Italy Goes to War

KF1HE first official announcement OF the con-
Il cessons which Austria was willing to
make to Italy most fittingly comes from
Chancellor Won Bethmann- -Holweg in the
German Reichstag. It was really Germany
and not Austria that was making the offers
TO Italy, and it was German pressure that
compelled the Austrians to agree ..E
The Chancellor's list of eleven points on
which the demands of Italy were to be
granted seems to include almost everything
that the italian Premier could in reason de-
mand. The Italians were to have that part
of the Tyrol inhabited by persons of Italian
descent they were to have the italian dis
town of Gradisca; Trieste was to be made a
free city; Italian sovereignty over Avlona
an Albanian seaport, was to be recognized
together with Italian rights in the adjacent
districts. and special arrangements were to
be made to protect the rights of Italians in
the unceded territory.
1t will be noted that there is no mention
OF the Dalmatian coast, where there is a
large Italian population, and that the essen
tial point of the time when the cessons were
to take effect is omitted. The Italian states
men insisted that there should be immediate
evacuation by the Austrians of the ceded
Territory, and that the title should be trans
ferred at once. The Austrians, that Is, the
Germans acting for them, were unwilling 10
change the status quo, save on paper, until
the end of the war.
No just appreciation of the righteousness
OF Italy's verdict for war can be arrived at
until the diplomatic negotiations are made
public, they will be in the Green Book"

The Organization Has Challenged; But Can
It Make Good7

! DY ALL means let Lexow committee
- come to Philadelphia and find out what
has been going on and who is responsible
for 1t.
There are plenty Of things that need ex-
PLANTATION. Any number of excellent projects
have been mysteriousy held up by Councils
There have been deals within deals. Not
once or twice, but over and over again the
Administration has been checkmated In its
efforts to serve the city faithfully. The ALL
powerful Finance Committee of Councils has
repeatedly blocked enterprises OF merit and
under conditions which have more than once
aroused suspicion.
If 1t be true that there has been no cor
ruption, by all means let it be established to
the satisfaction of the community. II, on
the other hand, it is true that something on
the side" has been passed around, that men
have enriched themselves at the public ex-
pense let them and their methods be held UP
to the gaze of the people that they may see
and understand
Detective Burns states that he has been
conducting an exhaustive inquiry into condl-
tons. He is prepared to go on the witness
stand and reveal what he has discovered. He
intimates that his information will he in
teresting, if not sensational Nor need it be
doubted that some public servants are quak-
ing in their boots at the mere suggestion
that he will tell what he knows. That he
knows much may be taken for granted.
There are lot Of little fellows who are in
confusion at the menace of publicity which
suddenly confronts them and there is more
than one of the big fellows who fears that
the Burns operatives may have discovered
deals thought to be we'll hidden.
A city gains nothing in reputation by hid
ing it's plight If grafters feast on 1t and
flourish in its offices, there is but one thing
for the city to do, and that is to expose the
whole lot and throw them out bodily or put
them into the penitentiary. That is what
San Francisco did, and it is what Philadel-
phia will do once the public begins to COM
prehend the vital necessity of pursuing such
a course.
Let the politicians who want to investigate
Philadelphia come and do 1t. But they
must remember thing, and that is that
they cannot quit when they get close to the
truth. It must not be trick investigation
and it will not be. There is testimony to be
brought to light that no committee can con-
ceal IL an investigation is once begun.
An inqulsitorial committee clothed with
blanket powers ought never to be created
It's opportunities for mischief would be too
great. But the Blankenburg Administration
does not fear it. Far from it, it welcomes
the proposal, and would be glad enough to
have an opportunity to show before a COM
petent body Just how 1t has been checked
and retarded in it's fight for good govern
ment by elements which constitutionally
opposed to any kind of government except
graft government. The Organization has
challenged; let 1t make good.

Now Is the Time to Plant Roof Gardens

ONE of the most delightful evening occu-
" pations known to town dwellers is roof
gardening. Its advantage over backyard
gardening and gardening in the larger lots
In the suburbs is that 1t can be pursued
without soilng the hands with the moist
earth and without firing the muscles of the
back. The ladies who indulge in it do not
need to wear sunbonnets to save their COM
plexions and when caught by their neigh
bors engaged in the agreeable recreation
they do not need to apologize for their cos
tunes. No one engages in roof gardening
unless properly dressed for the avocation,
and the suitable dress is usually the
most becoming to the wearer.
Roof gardening, indeed, belongs in that
group of sports which depend In large meas
ure for their popularity the becoming
nature of the costume required. 1t was a
profound student OF human nature who said
that il he wanted to make any sport popu-
lar he would first invent a costume to be
worn at 1t and then invent the sport. 1t is
notorious that II it were not for the gold
braid on a soldiers uniform there would be
fewer soldiers. so great an influence do
clothes have upon the affairs of the world.
Incidentally. It may be remarked that the
popularity of roof gardening in town is also
in some measure dependent upon the fact
that II is done on the roof. far above the
noise and dust of the street, where there is
a cool breeze in motion If the air is stirring
anywhere in this latitude 1t is little early
yet for the gardens to be at their best, but
the seeds planted now may be expected 10
develop the weather grows warmer and
along in July there will be fine display TO
reward the efforts OF the faithful gardeners.

The Liberty Bell.

We presume that the word Liberty Bell has passed the lips of
nearly every American citizen within the past few days. Thousands,
yes millions, have looked upon that grand old relic, as it made it's
trip from Philadelphia to San Francisco. We looked on it the other
day, that we might say we saw it on its famous trip. We did not see
much. Its intrinsic value is perhaps measured by the old metal in
it and perhaps it would be much less than 500, but in the mystic
Imagination that enshrined that old relic its value became fabulous,
and its purchase price beyond a measure of possibility. Its old voice
spoke on that eventful day in 1776 to a world virtually dead, in so
far as progress was concerned, and hope for the future with the ex-
ception of only a few, on whom hung the heavy burden of making q
civilized nation out of savages and a few pilgrims What a task to
set before ones self, and what a task well done, that the proclaimers
of independence ever dreamed of success, such as has come to pass,
is impossible in the extreme. Little do those-now particles of dust
know what they wrought. Little did they dream that a bell that
spoke their feeling would ring round the world and awaken a condi-
ton of civilization such is followed its ringing. Something about
that old bell appeals to an American citizen, as does the stars and
stripes 1t stands for a country 80 far ahead of any other nation in
civilization, that there is no comparison, and may the great God
bless the ringing of that bell, that told the world of another day,
that would have a bearing on mankind never before equalcd, and
may it's ringing yet be heard for centuries to come, the echo of that
eventful day in 1776.

Taking Cars for Joy Rides.

Every town and city in the world is pestered and annoyed by
Joy riders. These people are, a 8 a rule, young chaps out for a lark,
who clip into some ones car and go for a ride, or even take the car
from the garage. This is about the meanest sort of devilment, and
lis perhaps worst in the cities blessed with colleges, whore there are
as a rule many young frolickers away from home and know just about
enough to run a car and nothing more, and will probably never learn
anything more if kept in college the rest of their natural lives.
For the first time in the history of Saratoga a car was taken the
other night. This car was left in a private garage and the owner was
away, and was supposedly taken for a Joy ride, and the party taking
it had never run a car before. This combination ended very shortly
leaving the car where it was on the verge of turning over, and where
the marshal rescued it the next morning.
In the car was found a half empty bottle of whiskey. Whether
the young man a under liquor influence or not, we do not know,
but suffice that the predicament into which he got himself was a dear
lesson, one he will not soon forget. This act was probably superin.
duced by fondness to show his friends a good time. Perhaps it
would not have been so bad to have taken the car had he known how
to run it, but at any rate knowing how to run it or not, does not les
sen the crime, and we hope to see a law on the statute books some
day in this state, stringent enough to satisfy the most wild desire of
any thief, looking for a long layoff.
In some of our eastern states an act such as the other night, is
punished by not less than a term of six months in the county Jail.
1t is hoped that others will draw a moral from this little affair and
no more of such actions will be heard of in Saratoga by any of her
citizens. The shame of the situation forbids u s mentioning names
in this case.
