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.

We read that the husband of Millicent Rogers,
lie <lro was the former Count Ludwig Sahn-Hoog-
straeton, wants to become an American and get a
job. 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. Right now the
public is clamoring for a series on “ How I Loved
Lost Millicent Rogers.”
