them 100 memorials in Italy to the
name of Joseph Mazzini, intellec
tual friend and liberator of man
kind, head and soul of the Italian
revolution, lifelong, unselfish, pure
and steadfast soldier of the com
mon good.
In Milan you will find a beauti
ful white marble monument to a
lawyer that devoted his life to agi
tating for the abolition of capital
punishment.
We have not yet found time to
erect any memorials to our men in
civil life that have interested
themselves in behalf of humanity,
> hut in every state in the Union, ex
cept three, w r e still hang men or
put them to death in the electric
chair. Italy has been for forty
four years free from the barbarism
of legal murder. I should think
that Englishmen or Americans
pausing over our hangmens' rec
ords would be moved to go a little
slow about the inferior Italian.
And yet they are not., I was
crossing the Atlantic a couple oi
years ago on a steamer from the
Mediterranean that carried many
Italian immigrants. These disport
ed themselves on the forecastle
and it was a common practice for
the first class passengers to as
semble forward and lament the ad
dition of '' such people'' to the su
perior population of the United
States.
Instead of lamenting they should
have rejoiced.
(Perhaps if we can get. enough It
alians to come here they may civi
lize us to a point where we shall
not desire to hang anybody.
These 4 'such people" have oth
er qualities for us, among them
the sense of workingmen's solidar
ity, a willingness to make sacrifice
for the common aim, and a persist
ence that never tires.
An Italian strike is known as
one of the hardest of all strikes to
aubdue.
Not long ago the mauegement of
a great branch of one of the most
important trusts in America was
engaged in the pleasant and eon
genial task of reducing wages.
It reduced wages everywhere
until it came to a department '
wherein the employes were Ital- j
Sen. No wages were reduced in !
that department. The management \
was asked why, and frankly gave j
the reason. It knew that the Am- ]
erican employes would stand for a
cut. but the Italians would not. j
and if one of them quit all would j
suit. j
1 should thiuk that a few more !
men of that kind would be quite <
an addition to our outfit.

AMERICAN FLAG SOUGHT
Citizens of Belgrade Find Protection
When Austrians Enter.
Nish, Serria (Via London), Dec. V,.
—The first news from Belgrade since
Its occupation bv the Austrians has
been received here. The hospital in
the old capital Is now in charge of
three Irish-American doctors, who in
sisted on going there while the bom
bardment was actually in progress.
When the Servians abandoned Bel
grade, because they did not wish use
lessly to sacrifice men in a vain at-;
tempt to hold an unfortified city, the
doctors refused to desert the wounded
whom it was impossible to transport. I
The military hospital in Belgrade
has twelve or fourteen detached
houses. The entire space is invaded
by refugees seeking the protection of
the American flag. About 20,000 citi
sens of Belgrade are camping on the
grounds or are housed in the buildings
the central hospital being rv*ed as a
basis of supplies.
Woman'* Weapon*.
A number of married men were re
cently dining together at their club.
The question was asked, "What trait
in your wife do you consider the most
expensive one?" The answers were
as numerous as the men in the party.
With one it was vanity, another re
ligion or charity or love of dress. The
last man to whom the question was
put answered oracularly, "Her tears."
