ITALY ON THE MOUNTAINS

@Italy is occupying a conspicuous place
on the high mountain of temptation.
Italy wants additional possessions and
both sides in the European conflict are
offering Italy a large slice of the con-
quered earth when they fall heir to the
spoils of war.
Italy is in a serious quandary. 1t
does not know which side is going to
whip the other side. Austria is not in
clined to guarantee its full demands and
Germany assures it that the Germanic
mailed hand will be laid on Austria and
the requisite territory taken and turned
over to Italy.
The allies assure Italy that they are
bound to prevail over their enemy and
when it happens Italy will be placed on
easy street.
The diplomatic strife for the sup
port of Italy is insistent on 5oth sides,
which is all ready to fight as soon as it
can determine in which interest it will
sacrifice men, munitions and money.
Not a particle of principle is involved.

A COOL MAN IS CHOSEN

The appointment of Il. g. Sanders as
custodian of the state house and capital
grounds, by Governor Byrne, is a com
mendable one. Mr.. Sanders has been
employed about the capitol building and
grounds for many years, thoroughly
understands the conditions and sur
roundings there; he directed the grading
work done there, the laying out of the
grounds. the selection aud planting of
trees, together with the work done on
the grounds yearly. The happy condi-
tion of all affairs about the state house
is very largely due the wise and sue
cessful management of Mr.. Sanders.
While the Governor usually goes
wrong IN the questions of appointments
he was everlastingly right in his APP
pointment yesterday.

That long. threatened liquidation

That long threatened liquidation of
labor, meaning a reduction in wages, is
apt to begin with the railroads any
time. Capital is complaining that it is
not getting a fair share of the returns.
The Pennsylvania railroad, admittedly
the best system in the United States.
is cited to show the facts. In the last
fourteen years the capital invested has
just about doubled, while the operating
income has been reduced one half. Last
year the road earned on its capital less
than "a, 060, 900 more than it earned Oh
half its investment fourteen years ago.
Capital is not satisfied with such earn
ings. The road is doing both passen-
gar and freight business for less than
it received even so recently as six years
ago. The indications are hat the road
and others will stand such a condi-
tion Indefinitely.
