A Thought for Today
Ill Day for II Duce

The sands of time have run out on Italys
balcony-spouting Caesar - the swash-
buckling, breast humping Benito Musso-
lini is on the run - long may he run!
With Italy on the verge of collapse and
Italian soldiers literally surrendering by
the thousands, Little" Caesar did no
more than could be expected of little
man, he made his inconspicuous exit by
means of the run-out. No one is sur
prised, least of all those Italians who
have had to listen to his empty mouthings
for the last two decades. Once more a
king for a day, as it we're, slips into in
nocuous desuetude.
However, what the fall of Mussolini
will mean to Italy is not yet fairly clear.
King Emmanuel and Marshal Badoglio,
now in control of the new government
have declared in the first flush of the
premier's abduction that they would con-
tinue to rally their armies to the defense
of Italian soil. The war must continue,
they maintain, but the same utter
destruction faces any new regime as did
that of Mussolini's dream empire, should
his successors decide to 60 on with the
Axis. Such a conclusion portends, we feel,
rather from the fear of German DONNA
ton rather than italian inclination.
In any event the spectacle of Italian
armies surrendering wholesale in Sicily
gives grave doubts as to Italy's efforts to
continue the war. The day of Fascism is
over in Italy, the rule of black shirt ter
rortsm, which Mussolini introduced
twenty-one years ago is gone with the de-
parting saWdust Caesar. With the fall of
Fascism must next come Nazism. They're
both in the same boat-on the way out.

what really counts is not our love
for God but Gods love for us. 1t
is true that we are to love God
and love our fellow men, but this
we can never do in any satisfactory
fashion until our hearts have been
made new by the realization that in
spite of our unworthiness, God has
loved us and continues to love us
with an undying and everlasting
love. The great saints of the
church have never thought much
ftheir own love of God. What has
consoled them in the midst of every
trouble has been the realization
that Gods love for them never dies
down. II think 1 am the poorest
wretch that lives" said a leader of
the church upon his death bed; "but
I love God - or rather I am loved
Of God"
Regeneration of the spirit and
the peace which follows in its wake
come when we realize that our sal
walton depends not upon our get
ting hold Of God, but upon our al
lowing to flow in across our souls
the realization that God loves us
adm has said SO unmistakably in the
person and life of Christ.

Mining Accidents

Coal Administrator Ickes calls atten-
ton to the fact that men are being killed
and injured faster in American coal mines
than on the fighting fronts.
During the past year coal mine casual
ties were at the rate of 1898 month as
compared with only 1880 in battle each
month since Pearl Harbor. That is a dis
turbing record, even though mining is
concededly dangerous trade.
fortunately, the bulk o. mining casual
ties are not fatal. In the average month
since Pearl Harbar $50 fighting men
have been killed, but only 1913 miners.

Many people have not realized the full
threat to the war effort that attaches to
labor trouble in the coal mines In 1913
it is estimated that upward of 100000 900
tons of coal will be chemically utilized.
Coal derivatives are used in explosives,
plastics, the priceless sulfa drugs, SOL
vents food preservatives, insecticides, fer
tilizers, lacquers, rubber, nylon and hun
dreds of other vital war material. Total
demands for coal have grown to as
Economical proportions Prior to work
stoppages in the mines, the industry was
endeavoring to meet all demands placed
upon it, 1t was succeeding Now it
remains to be seen whether there will be
coal shortage. No power on earth
will be able to bring back the lives of the
service men who may be lost because of
any shortage. Mems lives are the price
of strikes in wartime.

1t will be interesting to pull from the
files in November, 1915 a clipping record
ing the prophecy made by George L..
Goge, southern vice president of the A..
F. of L. Mr.. Googe says that three-fourths
of the congressman who voted to over
ride President Roosevelt's veto of the
anti-strike bill will be defeated in the
next two years. We doubt that so large
proportion will be defeated for any and
all reasons. We doubt that any Sue
stantial fraction of that number will
be beaten because of their anti-strike bill
vote. Organized labor may claim credit
for all who fall by the wayside- but
three--fourths? Let's tuck that clipping
away for two years, and see.

ITALIAN PATRIOT"
Most talo-Americans are 100
per cent behind the war, but the
barrel is being soured by a few
bad apples.
Shortly before the Allied land
ing in Sicily, one Italian news
paper, THE Patriot of Indiana,
Pa, published an editorial which
is being scrutinized by the JUS
tice Department. After referring
to the foreign despot of 1888 in
Sicily as a brutal French prince
named Charles or Anjou,' this
Italo- American editorial con-
tinued:
"The foreign despot of 1943
to the Sicilian people is Wins
ton Churchill The Sicilian
women will do the most fcrO-
cious fighting; they will fight
the 'would-be liberators' with
daggers. pistols, hand grenades
and will make the original YES
pers read like a fairy tale.
"The Sicilian Vespers of 1943
will be motivated by Americas
destruction of their beautiful
cities, of their schools, hospi-
tails, monuments. art galleries,
cathedrals. in fact the product
of eight civilizations
Fortunately, this paper was
wrong, and the Sicilian people
welcomed Allied troops. Forum
ately also, such leading Italo-
American newspapers as II Pro-
gresso have been urging Italians
to rise up. throw off Mussolini
and Join the Allies. But certain
newspapers are still following an
an editorial policy which may
bring a severe crack-do from
the Justice Department.
