shevism in Italy. This. however, Ia
denied by observers who are acquaint'
ed with the situation, though they dc
not deny that bolshevism has mace
Roadway among the Italian workers.
Naturally such a condition as the
present cannot prevail long. The bar
ricaded workers cannot subsist many
days and they cannot operate the
mills with profit. They have a strate'
gic advantage in that they are keep.
ing the owners from the use OF their
property, but that advantage is itself
a weakness. for the men are virtually
stopping their own wages and their
families are suffering for necessities.
In the final state of the case these
Italian workmen must compromise
They could not conduct the business
Of both manufacturing and marketing
goods. Already overtures for ADJUST
ment have been made and probably in
a short time the situation will be re
solved. The immediate suggestion OF
this affair is that Italy is in decided,
ly uncertain state and may at any
time develop an uncomfortable degree
of radicaIism, OF which the present
"lock-in" is but symptom.

disorder while In the government serv-
ice, 1t serves also as the local asylum.
To 1t are committed all members Of
the military and naval establishments
OF the United States who lose their
balance, and these have been numer-
GUS since the outbreak Of the war.
To it also are sent all those who come
to Washington, drawn hither by the
magnet Of the government Offices and
outrages by paroled patients.
The serious question is whether this
institution is undermined, or II it
has been conducted along perfectly
safe lines. Congress is solely respon-
sible for the degree to which it grants
appropriations for guards, nurses and
physicians and for the physical equip
ment necessary for the care Of the
patients. The hospital administration
is responsible for the manner in which
the patients are ruled and regulated.
If too much liberty is given to any
class Of patients that fact is for the
organization to explain. II this lib
erty is a condition forced by the lack
Of adequate guards and attendants.
the responsibility is placed upon the
appropriating body.
Probably no amount of money for
equipment and attendance will posi-
lively prevent occasional tragedies
within the bounds of the institution.
The public is chiefly concerned about
escapes and deeds of violence COM
mitted outside Of the walls.

Two Campaigners.

Candidate Roosevelt, just out o.
| Maine, where he delivered severa
speeches, says: 1T find it impossible
to make any estimate of the sltua
ton" He found good deal OF con
fusion, and ascribes it to the enfran
chisement of women. 1t is difficult
| to forecast how the new voters VII
record themselves, or how many. o.
them will go to the polls.
While in the state Mr.. Roosevelt,
was thrown, Of course. with the mer
managing the democratic campaign
and thus had opportunity to gather
whatever information was current in
democratic circles. Evidently he has
no hope Of democratic success In the
Pine Tree state next Monday.
In Chicago yesterday Gov. Cox was
in the opposite mood. He was full OF
hope and confidence. In his travels
he had found things prosperous and
promising for his party. The democ'
racy is certain of winning. Said he
in conversation with local party lead.
ers who had called to pay their re-
spects and learn something for the
good of the order:
1--WE are making progress every day
Things are beginning to happen. and
make the prediction in all earnest
ness that very soon the bottom is
going to drop out of the republican
campaign"
every soon" How soon? Gov. Cox
is on a stumping tour which will con.
sumo a month. Does he expect the
opposition to collapse in his absence?
or soon after his return home? Or,
as is likely, is the governor distribut-
ing rainbows for campaign purposes?
Mr.. Roosevelt is the younger man,
and caution ordinarily does not 60
with youth. But he is probably jus.
titled in not venturing a prediction
in campaign as full Of uncertainty
as an egg is of meat-packed with it.

Italy's "Lock.In."

A revolution has occurred in Italy
within a few days. practically without
bloodshed. and with remarkably little
disturbance. Several thousand work
ingmen, chiefly employed in the metal
trades. have seized the shops and mills
in which they have been employed,
barricaded the doors and maintained
a state Of siege against police and
owners. From city to city this move
ment spread until apparently the
major part Of the Italian metal.work.
ing industry is in the hands of the
workers and production has come to a
standstill.
This peculiar movement is the di.
rect consequence Of an attempt on the
part Of some Of the employers to lock
out the men who presented demands
for virtually communal operation of
the plants. To counter with q flock.

Mr.. Harding on the Navy.

Mr.. Harding improved the occasion
of the visit of the Great Lakes Band
to Marion to express himself on the
subject of the Navy. He said:
Il want our republic to have the
most efficient and most dependable
Navy in the world. Like every other
the American Navy. 1t is the first
line of our national defense. 1 do not
know whether you inspire the re-
cruitment of marines as well as men
in the Navy; it does not matter, !
share with every other American tn e
pride we have in the splendid work
of the marines. and, of course. each
branch Of American defense is Of
equal concern, and source of equal
pride to all the American people,"
The President several years ago
spoke for IAN Incompatible Navy"
and has never modified or withdrawn
the sentiment. It stands as one Of the
best approved Of all his deliverances.
Only few days ago Secretary
Daniels. speaking at Charleston. w.
Va, where the government is building
a large plant to supply some naval
needs, said we were committed to a
policy which will give our Navy
world primacy."
And now Mr.. Harding ranges him.

Dangers at st. Elizabeth's.

A natural anxiety prevails in every
community within or near which an
institution for the care of the insane
Is maintained. The possibility is ever
present that inmates may escape and
do violence. 1t is in the nature Of
things that those confined such es-
adjustments may at any time break
all restraints and inflict harm before
they are reduced to subsection. In
the modern and humane method Of
treating persons afflicted with mental
disorder much liberty is given to
patients whose disease manifestations
are harmless, but it is impossible to
know with precision what reactions
may occur suddenly in those cases.
and instances are numerous OF trust
les" assaulting other patients or
guards or persons outside of the in
stitution.
Recently at st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
near Washington, several cases Of this
character have occurred. Within a
very short time two patients have been
slain by others. one Of them by means
OF a pistol obtained while the "trusty''
was absent from the hospital. Nat
urally these tragedies have deeply
stirred the people living near the in
stitution. They are demanding that
more stringent rules be adopted to
prevent the recurrence of escapes,
which have been numerous. and of
outrages by patroled patients.

Insane has been badly overcrowded

Campaign Money.

Gov. Cox insists. On his journey
across the continent he is repeating,
and even simplifying, his charge. He
now declares not only that the re-
publicans are raising an enormous
campaign fund for corrupt purposes,
but, brought to book by him, are try
ing to lie out of it.
A considerable sum Of money for
campaign purposes is necessary this
year for both parties. In becoming
scientific. campaigning has become
expensive. 1t il likewise a bigger
proposition than ever before. The en-
largement OF the electorate has dou-
bled organization work. Women are
anxious for instructions and assist.
ance in qualifying for their new duties.
So that a large campaign fund does
not, and should not, carry with it be.
cause Of it's size an implication Of cor
ruption. There are numerous de.
mands for money, from sources alto
gether above suspicion; and they must
be met. A campaign manager who
should put himself on short commons
in such an emergency would be un.
worthy of his place, and would not
long remain in commission.
Gov. Cox has taken a very advanced
step in this matter. If he can sustain
himself, he stands to profit largely
If he cannot sustain himself, he
stands to lose heavily. And to sus.
tain himself he must do more than
furnish the Kenyon committee with
what are called leads He must
bring a catch" to the committee
and not simply ask the committee tc
go fishing for him.

Labor's DaY and Duty.

Labor's welfare and labor's pros
poets call for special attention or
this day. set apart by law as ma
tional holiday in honor of those who
toll. The time has passed for argu
ments for the recognition of labor
That has been granted. 1t has passed
for discussions Of the right of col
established. But the time is at hand
for a consideration of the RESPONSE
bility of organized labor to the gen
eraI community, to the country. to the
people.
Just at this moment, when the coun'
try pauses in its activity to dedicate
a day to the labor ranks, there is in
evidence a failure of discipline that
seriously menaces the welfare of the
public. Upward Of 100000 hard coal
miners have repudiated an agreement
by their representatives to abide by
the award of a commission named by
the President and have taken a va
cation" which is equivalent to a strike,
tying up most of the mines and short
ening the production at a season when
the fullest output is urgently neces-
sary to supply the country's needs for
the winter.
This insurgency is blow at the
welfare of the workers. for it lessons
the confidence of the public in the
good faith of organized labor. II or
carnations are formed and undertake
to deal with employers in behalf of
the workers they must be vested with
power and must be given full support.
No individual employer or corpora
ton can proceed with assurance in
the adjustment of working conditions
and wage rates on any other basis.
II in the past there has been hard
bargaining by the employers. or bad
faith by them, or lack OF recognition
by them of the right of the workers
to organize and deal collectively for
betterment, that is no warrant for
sharp practice or reputation now by
the members of organizations. They
must set up a high standard Of per-
Torrance. They must demonstrate
that they at least are dependable.
If bad leadership is at fault1t 10 the
duty and the right of organized labor
to change leaders. Too much care
cannot be exercised in the choice of
representatives. II members Of unions
break their bargains they must be
disciplined. The public is the final
Judge in these matters, looking to re-
suits rather than details of procedure.
1t will condemn injustice by employ
ers as it will condemn injustice by
the workers.
Outlaw strikes such as that which
briefly tied up the railroads last spring
and that which is now shortening the
hard coal output are infinitely harm
full to the best interests of organized
labor. This day should be marked by
an emphatic condemnation Of such
methods of coercion, and a renewed
appeal to the confidence of the people
by the adoption of measures that will
impose upon the workers Of the coun-
try the same obligation Of good faith
as that which has been already i'm
posed upon the employers.
