ITALY OF TOMORROW.


In Rome the other day AHmassador
Page graphically described the I'M
complaining endurance of the Italian
domen during the years when their
men folks were at the front. He told
how he had seen these mothers COM
ing to the city early in the morning
and remaining until evening with
their little carts and produce, and
marketing perhaps a dollars worth
of provisions altogether while caring
for from three to six children in adj
dition to the sales problem. 1t is this
sort of an Italy that the young Italians
want to get rid of. Picturesque as
may be the little donkey and his nib
BILE of hay and the children browsing
in the cart, the young Italians look
forward to the time when cheap au-
tofnobiles will whisk along the rock
bound Roman roads, when industry
will hum to the tune of 100000
electric horsepower, when the ratio
between agriculture and industry will
be more profitable.
Italy of Tomorrow! The theme vi
brates on the lips of all Italians who
are young in years or young in heart.
1t is the endearing characteristic of
the nation today, this ferment. Dur
ing my three weeks in Italy, which
included Visits to Rome, to the indus
trial centers of Genoa. Milan, Turin,
to the Trentino. and for that matter
to the Istrian peninsula, where in the
person of Vice Admiral Cagni, COM
tmander of the former Austrian naval
base of Pola. found very interest
ing example of young Italian nation
alism, I have heard the theme of
Italy's Tomorrow IN all its variations.
Before indicating the tendency and
goal of this agitation I must give
some idea Of its Dervasive character.
In Rome I called on Luigi Luzzati,
1taly's picturesque grand old man,
now S3 years old, who has been
twice prime minister. and has spent
"a years of his life in cabinet office.
We. had hardly touched upon the
Question of Italy's future when he
read me a fiery address advocating
the revision of the Italian constitu-
ton and the adoption of many fea-
lures of the American constitution,
without which he believes the full
development of Italy will be long de-
fayed.

A DEEPER REASON.

There is something deeper than the
respective histories of the revolution
making peoples that accounts for the
different fashions in the revolution
business. To be sure, reaction against
oppression can be counted upon to be
violent in proportion to what had
been endured. But the yiolences diff
fer, not in force, but in kind A Rus
sian mob exhibits one temper. Ger
man mob another, British or Amer
lean mob still another.
The English had their revolution of
violence nearly three hundred years
ago, and justice then was harsh and
manners coarse, when compared with
ur presents standards; but while there
were pitched battles, demolition OF
strongholds and some beheadings, in
Guiding the one of King Charles, nc
sack of English cities and no out
RACES occurred. AS in our own Amer
lean revolution there was plenty of in
justice toward persons suspected OF
tory sympathies and instances of in
tolerance, still our streets were not
drenched with blood and people were
not subjected to torture or other bru-
tality Women and children were
safe at all times.
Our people haven't the blood-lust
They respect women as the mothers
of the race and children because OF
their innocence. Our English-speak-
| ing people are the most combative In
the world. They are the hardest
| fighters, but they do not kill for the
sake of killing and they do not tor
ture. They do not mistreat wemer
and children, as is frequently done by
the men of continental Europe wher
they are no longer subject to the re-
straints of the civil law.
| The Spaniard is something of al
exception TO this rule. While Weylel
carried on war against the Cuban'
most brutally, abuse of Cuban womer
by Spanish soldiers was most rare
IL it ever occurred, stories to the con
trary, while the war was on, notwith
standing.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

Governor Larrazolo vetoed but one
act of the legislature. the partition
fence bill measure. Senator Borah
also has discussed a fence question.
He endorses the early action of Amer
lea in putting up a partition fence to
keep European aggressors off the
grass on the western shores of the
Atlantic, which fence was built with
out calling on the other fellows to
cooperate or consent. Having main
tanned the fence for a hundred years
there Is no occasion for us to tear 1t
down, in the opinion of the senator.
The committee Of the whole in this
country have already determined to
amend or XIII the league international
legislative bill to remove our safety
first fence. We REFLECT the argument
that it could be swung to circle the
globe without depriving us of the
benefit of the barrier.

to suspend operations.
The miners were unable to borrow
money or hold output for an indefi'

producing companies continue work
in order to bridge over the period
that must intervene before surplus
can be absorbed. Reduction of forces
became necessary, but except where
labor troubles and dissatisfaction
over wage reductions occurred, some
large operators are keeping reason
ably busy.

SAMARITAN HOBO FOUND.
fs"ft tN L


One day not long ago Jersey Cen
trail freight train slowed up at a sid
ing in PENNSYLVANIA and a tramp
rolled out from his perch on brake
beam and casually sauntered off into
the lonely countryside. Seeing two
|farmhopses, he knocked at the door
of one of them, seeking food Getting
no answer. he bodily marched inside.
There ne found the entire family of
Thomas Campbell down with influ-
enza, with nobody able to be about
He learned also that in the home of
John Kennedy the neighboring farm

isted.
This man was a tramp. hobo, a
sworn eflemy to work. possibly not
unfamiliar with crime; for when a
man swears eternal enmity to work.
familiarity with crime is not far
ahead.
But the theory that there are men
who are all bad and men who are all
good lives only in a type of fiction
that is now happily obsolete Mr..
Hobo probably wasn't very good; what
| happened next showed that he was
lanything but all bad.
| First, he saw to the condition of the
fires in both homes. Then he ex-
Iplored in pantries and kitchens and
cooked up something Tor the sick
people to eat. Then he went to the
stables and fed and watered the stock,
which WAS IN a dangerous condition
because nobody in either home was
able to attend to it. In short, he kept
I things going in both homes until the
families were nursed back to health.
He must have been a very busy
tramp. This wandering hobo who had
sworn eternal enmity to work found
himself with a lot OF it on his hands
He made frequent trips to the nearest
village to buy food and medicine. and

though we find it not difficult to

them. If there are relatives they may
think their own problems call for all
the effort they can give. Somehow
these little fledgelings thrown out OF
the nest always manage to survive.
There is always food for one more,
though it may be scanty. But a.
broken home is a poor place to fit
Youngsters for clean living and good
citizenship.
Children of the poor who have lost
both parents are pathetic little waifs'
who should have the active interest OF
their neighbors, to see that they find
good home. The cases where only
one parent is gone often prove quite
as difficult problem. The parent
wishes to keep them, but may not be
able to earn a living and at the same
time give any suitable care to the
children.
The child welfare work of New
Mexico has precisely that sort OF
work, and much beside, to deal with.
Charitable organizations and kind
hearted people should look carefully
after these cases. Some will need
gifts of money. in others the surviving
parent should have help i'll finding
employment, and often the good suS-
gestions of practical people will clear
away obstacles. Those in needy cir
cumstances who have the response
bility Of these children should be
shown that the world is full of help
ing hands and kind hearts.

the presents are considered large
enough, the wedding day is set.
In Kapanga in the Methodist Epis-

place. The bride walks with an UNI
brella over her head to protect her
from the sun. and is preceded by a
bridesmaid who carries the garment
the bride wore before her marriage.
Other bridesmaids follow. all walking

After the ceremony the bridal pro-

her husband but follows him. A

consisting of goat meat and corn
mush or cruel made from some kind
