In a treatise entitled - "Reform and the-Social Revolution;" published in 1905, Labriola wrote: "The revolutionary method consists in preparing the 'Working class organizations' to take control of the units of industry, both manual -and managerial, by means' of dis solution of all authority of state, political party, etc., which lies outside the' work ers' organizations. With all the means of pro duction, in their hands and being prepared to take care of them, he government would fall into Uveir hands like ripened fruit."

Judge. Charles jE. Hughes, speaking; at Trenton! a few days ago, mercilessly laid bare the weaknesses, inca pacities and downright, wrongdoings of the administrative crovernment. which, on the heels of peace itself, has brought to the American people such vexations, dangers' and all but calamities. '. r . ';;' ' , L Ju'dcre Hughes knows his subject he was asked by Pre? dent Wilson to investigate the squanderings of the airplane department, and he had to report hundreds of millions wasted; much of it wantonly; much of it by mea wno ougnt to have been in jail; hundreds of millions spent and ijevfer a fighting plane of American; make on the, battle iront tn France. , .-- , ; -"; . " . ' .: ! Judge Hughes said in his speech at Trenton : "The result of our unpreparedness was grievous extrav agance in outlay in the hurried effort to make amends. The result or lack of competence m organization was an un fortunate and avoidable wastefulness. Our people paid will inglyr but' they paid far more ithan they ought to have paid. "We are now under a heavy burden of taxation and this is largely responsible for Jiigh costs. There is endeavor I o recoup through enhanced prices for the tremendous levies made upon, business and the effort to transfer taxes to others results in pyramiding costs. ' I "Domestically, the first issue is economy and reduction! of taxation! How are we to achieve this? Assuredly, we must have improvement in method. Proper budget making4is es sential, but method is not enough. I j "The Republicans in Congress have made an excellent be ginning in cutting upward of two billions out of the depart mental estimates. But the only way to secure the necessary .retrenchment , is through the co-operation of department heads. It is a sound instinct of the people at this time to de mand a change in administration. . ' "We need the pruning knife used by those who take office intent urxm usine it. - This is a matter which4 affects every farm, every shop, every industry, 'e very one who works and feels the pinch of high prices. We1 can expand governmental functions as necessity t may demand later. Now is the time to cut aff.all expenses not absolutely necessary and reduce . the taxes. - ' .. ' ' . - . . - -. " . ' ! - "It Is idle ta trust those who have been in power during the war period, with its lavi3h outlays, its indifference to expense, its teckoning in billions as we formerly reckoned in millions, with this duty of economy and retrenchment. Their experience unfits them for it . It is equally idle to expect adequate results from those who would follow the same tra ditions and haVe the same fealties. " . - H- "The clearest call of the day is to put out the party which is responsible for this extravagance and install the party pledged to economy, competent to secure economy by its re spect, for. business organizations and with every reason in party ambition to make good, its promise." , t , There is' no American of horse sensewho does not know as he knows his alphabet that squander of any, kind, and particularly squander of other people's money, becomes a habit which races -into a disease.' " , u - No matter jvhat promises political platforms, make No matter what principels political parties hold No matter what results political voters want They Siever can get good government and economical gov crnment by keeoinjr the old wreckers on the jobi When the United States government's department headsK and subordinates need to be brought back to economic sanity and normal spending, the American way of good judgment ,; and horse sense is not to let the disease run its course to the ruin of the government and the misery of the nation.! The American way, is to stop the thing that is working the mis chief and danger. There .is one way to make sure of stop ping it. It is to use the axe on the men who are doing it Get rid of the spenders! Inventions enabling us to con verse and communicate with friends at a distance are coming on so rapidly, that the next logi cal step Will be connection with every ship at sea T and 'planes in the air. Ten years hence we will carry our pocket telephone in our vest, like a watch, and be able to talk half around the world to anyone else provided with a simi lar instrument. ' .

But Cox is not likely to say the word. ylle recalls the note ojir noble president wrote In October. 1918, Just before the congressional election It is time to clear up the charg es 'of crookedness in baseball: It will be a sad blow to American sportdom to have the great na tional pastime follow in the foot steps of horse racing, prize fight ing and wrestling and become a vehicle for the promotion of gam bling, enterprises. - .) ! i The Democratic press and the newspaper men detailed for duty at Marion have been taken by sur prise fby the capabilities of Sena tor Harding.; The situation bears out the prediction made by 'his friends that Senator Harding would prove to be one of the; most efficient campaigners on, account of his compelling personality. lie is one of the most affable and ap proachable of men, and when on the speaking platform is at home with his audience from his open ing werds.

During the last fiscal year the Waterway earned a sutplus over expenses of more than ..$'2,000,000. with. totat In rome of more than $8,000,000. in the handling of moje than ,2300 , While the method employed by Premier Giolitti in dealing with the Italian industrial Soviets ' is cot one that appeals to the Anglo Saxon - sense of justice, . the re sults which he has thus far at tained 'indicate that he -understands the psychology of the Ital ian working classes and that the very, freedom which he has giveu them to violate the law .has awak ened them to a sense of their folly. Four weeks ago the Italian labor unions attempted a new kind of general strike. In place of refusing in a. body to report for work they formed mobs in thebig industrial plants, drove out the owners and their repre sentatives and took possession. In the flush of first victory they thought they had reached the millenium at a single bound. ; They were in possession of the machinery of production; the only thing necessary was to produce. In1 the Fiat automobile works alone 40,000. workingmeW were employed. They organized a so viet and began, turning out ma chines, just as they had done be fore, and expected to collect from the sales enough to pay them their own wages and the owner's profit. According to he Communist theory that is what should have happened. The owners of the plants appealed to th. minister oi labor and to the prime minister ifor help. They said they were !eing robbed. As the workmen tjlew open the cafes la the plants, appropriated all the cash they found and divided it among them selves, and. as they were . using the material and machinery pf the Owners without paying for it. the (riaim Of the owners was incon testable. . j Uut Premier Giolitti declined to iall cyit the state troops to rescue be property from the Soviets; and the minister of labor, Artti ro Labriola, took the side or the Workmen and against the owners. Labriola is one or .the early Ital ian syndicalists. V As farback as 1903 he advocated mass action by the proletariat -similar; to that which was manifested in the re rent 'Italian Communist strike. He advocated that the work men should seize the fact 6rle and op erate them, id the exclusion of t he owners, mt a time when Letiine ian labor unions; and, as Prime Minister Giolitti was noncommit tal, conditions Were propitious for he Italian soviet experiment. v Late -.cables from Italy, how ever,; indicate that the experiment has been working badly, although there has been practically no gov ernment ' interference. One em ployer of labor, Signor , llautferl. doffed his hat to his wdrklngmen with as much .aplomb as though it were to his king when they came to commandeer bis limou sine, and clambered aboard a pass ing street car. 'Other employers assumed a similar attitude. The Phiployes were iq possession of the works; and Oiey were confronted With the question. '"What shail we do with, them?" The money taken j from the rifled safes was not sufficient' to fill the first week's envelopes.' When the second Saturday came it was found that there had been practically no sales. Duyers held aloof, because they knew that the workmen did not possess title (o the. products they offerei for sale. The banks would extend no credit, and agencies would not send in to tlre workmen1 the money due to the owners of the plants. "All shipments of material were stop ped until cash should be paid in advance. " . ; Millions of workmen were ready r.nd willing to work: ' but there was no raw material and no money for the pay envelopes. While possessing the plants . the workmen found themselves help less. They had, thrown me great machine of modern industry out of gear and its separate parts would not function.' '''.- Premier Giolitti smiled and waited. ' "' ' . The spviets declared that they would resist the whole Italian army; but the. army didn t move. They were assailed, however, from an unexpected source. Wives and children clamored for money to buy macaroni and polenta, -and when the husband returned Sat urday night without hi pay en velope the life-of the Italian in I dusti ial communities was wholly disorganized. The butcher, the grocer and' the spaghetti maker were dependent on the pay from the factories to replenish their stocks. When that pay stopped their shelves and stalls were Eoon bare. Minister Labriola expressed sin cere regrets. Prime Minister Giolitti shrug ged his shoulders, and waited. Dy the end of the thud week a majority ot the -workmen be gan to view- the industrial prob lem in a new light.- They had discovered that there are unalter pl le economic laws never dreamed Of in the Communist philosophy. Reports rrom northern Italy last Saturday were to the effect that the workmen bad voluntarily turned back the great majority of the plants and factories to their owners. , The gaunt wolf of hun ger had stalked before too many doors. They began to view their employers" and their pay envel opes in a new light. Part of thel metal-workers are still- holding out, but the other industries are beginning to function ai;ain las they did before the soviet strike occurred. Prime Minister Giolitti is still waiting. 1 To a correspondent of tl 9 As sociated Press he said in Turin that neither the government nor the workmen Of Italy would coun tenance any form of. Holslievism. lie said that the' workmen were hot inclined t6 rvvolution. u de stroy property ;or to rob the own-1 ers; but agitators bad., per?:aded them that tf they woulj but seize the plants they wouid'tind their cm pay doubled and te cost or iving reduced. He paid that the siltration is improving without government, interference and in timated that the lesson whfc'i the werkmea had learned In three weeks would not be jiulckly for gotten. : ' in the ''unintelligent male vote.
