The rivers and harbors bill, passed by the Senate with unusual celerity, and carrying appro- vridttiom of $>©,000,000, is called a “ pork barrel bill” by many critics, as usual. Very likely it has in it items that will not bear general scrwtiny.- It is almost inevitable that things will be injected into such a measwre which ai» of local rather than sectional or national ’value, repre senting the desire oi some lawmaker for federal expenditure in his balfrwick without much regard to whether it will realy benefit navigation. It is always weM to inspeet river And harbor legislation carefully. * At the same time, it is stnpid and unfair to syalloW the tradition which characterizes river and harbor appropriations as necessarily smelling of “ pork.” It is especially unfortunate at a time When there is snch vital need of expenditure for the de velopment of inland navigation in this country, because if tends to keep alive old prejudices and discourages the paying of serious attention to worthy projects. There ought to be millions spent for making rivers and lakes and harbors more useful for trans portation. Othere things being equal, sentiment should be for such procedure, not against it. Every project should have a fair hearing. Seventy millions is little enough for sttch purposes in this vast, rich, populous land. As for “ pork,” if the truth be told, there is, as a usual thing, far more of that in the army and navy appropriation hills than there ever was in the, rivers tttd harbors bills, if might be well to turn critical attention to them for a while, and inquire about some of the millions regularly spent in maintain ing military pests and other locally profitable m- stitatkms in widely scattered places where they are worthless foi- purposes of n ation al defense. No Crown For Duce The" latest conspiracy aimed at Mussolini was a new kind. Instead of seeking to assassinate him, it sought to crown him. That, however, might have meant the same thing, and Mussolini was wise enough to know H. His anger against the loyal Fascisfi who plotted the coup seems to have been real. Their punishment may deter ah Faeeiet friends from each foolishness i* the fatwre. Mussolini knows the history of his nation. Play ing Caesar himself, he does not forget what happen ed to the first Caesar. It was after the attempt to crown him that great Julius was struck down by patriots who «arid endure everything but that. Mussolini has all the authority in Italy that Julius Caesar had before they tried to make him king. That is enough for him. He is quite willing to let the figurehead king keep the crown If he him self can keep the power. H O i VOdM B - t u P L * t e ~ - lH E .R ( A A H - a T s r r ! AAH!

He says he ia willing to consider almost any kind of work except manual labor. This is a little daring in the count, considering that he and work have been comparatively total strangers to date, but it shows the right spirit. I t’s the spirit we like to have our foreign immigrants bring with them. But the count is not entirely lacking in exper ience. He did earn $2500 once by signing a “ con fession,” written by somebody else, on “ How I Wowed and Won MiHeent Rogers.” This shows that the «amt has some talent toward self-support de spite the fact that he was raised an idler. Not everybody without training can earn «2500 the first time he puts his hand to the plow. The ex perience may also point the way to a brilliant fnt- ture for the count if he persists in his desire to go to work. He may find the authorship of“ e«ufes- sio^s,” written by others» a pleasant anti profitable occupation. At the present time there seems to be an excellent market for such wares.
