 The SlaVish have never been in great numbers as claimed by the Austrian Authority and the few you found have always been friends of the Austrians and enemy with the Italian irredclti. All the Slavish population has emi- grated in Dalmatia by means of Aus trian propaganda and only to counter balance the expansion of the Italian IT. redenti This assertion is not a mere supposition but a fact that had been established long before this war started by the society Trento-Trieste for the Italia Irredenta. The assertion of the London Daily Mail, known very well to be an English anti-ltalian paper, that Italy claims and that to Italy was promised territory occupied by Slavs IS not correct, and is only to spread an anti-Italian propaganda accusing ltaiy of imperialism and to minimize the great help, that our Italian boys fight ing over the crest of the Alps, on the French trenches. in Palestine in Alban- ia, in Macedonia and in the Siberian l desert. are given for this great war for the democracy and freedom. They are not fighting for imperialism. The sec ret treaty signed between England France and Italy regarding the Italian 1 irredenti provinces has never been published and, MT. Sonnino the great Italian Minister of foreign affairs las been attacked violently by many of the Italian papers because they want tC know in the name of all the Italians the exact contents, of this treaty: but Mir. Sonnino knowing what he has dole for the prosperity and good faith of his beloved country, is still silent.
 How then does the London Daily Mail know the exact contents of the treaty and assert that some rectifica- tion has been made regarding tn, province of Dalmatia? Gas he asserr"C that Dalmatia is Slavish territory) What kind of modification can be eX- pected by our friendly Daily Papal when Dalmatia is entirely Italian? Tn only way the Italian Minister can Siv, up our supreme aspirations is by Urea son to the entire Italian and ItaliIn irredenti people. But MT. Sonninio ! not traitor MT. Sonninio, he is not ; Jiolitti. he is not Bolo PaSha, he l not Caillaux, he is truly Italian an is fighting for our great country an, for our liberty.
 In all together the great American people, the Enelish, the French an
 Italian, we are fighting for democracy for the freedom of the people op pressed for the freedom of the sea : Italy cannot be deprived of the Dalma
 tian province especially of all the Dal matio coast, which is the natural ltal
 ian fertilization in the Adriatlc Sea Dalmatia cannot be Austrian, Graef . Turkish nor Jugo- Slav. It should b Italian under the three colors greer
 white and red.

 My Dear Sir:
 May have little more of your val
 uable space in which I am interested ? I was surprised that you did not agFe with my distinctions as between tn , words TO and FOR. I will try an , be, brief.
 , Your contention is that if two Of l, fees were created or the emolument increased during a term of the legis lature. a member of that legislatuu would not be eligible to submit h candidacy to the people for the elect i've office in order that he might
 elected TO the office after his prese1 - term had expired but that he migl 7. fix it with the candidate for governt 2 and be appointed to the appointiV ;, office as soon as the new governt f had taken his seat.
 s You contend that if it become
 necessary to. raise the pay of men !, bers of the legislature. not men f Der of that legislature could run ft :, re election. This would result in n new legislature without single men - Der with experience that is necessal . for promptness in carrying on u '. work Since the pay of members vel little exceeds that of common labor e the present time, and will hardly pf N the expenses of a member in Pho
 nix, this raise is not only desirab
 but would possibly increase the nun
 Der of available candidates and be !, real benefit to the state.
 Supposing that the treasurer shou
 submit his resignation to the go o ernor to be effective on November o the resignation being submitted ,l October l. The governor notifies | ,,o secretary of state that he has a o pointed John Smith TO BE treasuI
 from an after November l. He h # appointed John Smith FOR the off ;s :. of treasurer on october l. You wor ,t probably contend, to be consiste ,o . that John Smith was appointed ;,. the office of treasurer on October n Such would not be the case. Jo ,t Smith would be appointed FOR t .s .s office on October 1. He would be a ,s pointed TO the office when the resi- 'i nation of the former treasurer talk ;, effect on November 1. The .secreta , ,' of state would not issue the comm !. sion until the office was vacant - November 1 and all papers would sh ;at that he was appointed TO the off
