N ESCAPING the peril of a great railroad strike the country counts itself fortunate that there is an Erdmarr act to spare it) @ repetition of the awful conflicts of 187% and later years. | The railronds will claim that peace is maintained at their expense. They point out that the wage increase asked for will cost them $17, | 000,000 annually, Twenty por cent, of added outlay in this direction | ia, indeed, an enormous demand. Yet has the situation not been created lary y by the railroads themeelves? Can any ove forget the hundreds upon hundreds’ of — millions of dollars which have heen withdrawn from the legitimate ee operation of American rai!roads by high-handed financiers who have exploited them time and again in wild orgica of greed and extrav- : agance? New Haven stockholders are now bitterly reckoning up the | huge sums from their treasury which bave “vanished into thin air” in the reckless pursuit of monopoly. Yesterday came an announcement from the Wabash receivership that the road will default an a 810,000,000 note obligation which falls @ue Aug. 1—a reminder of the ingenious railrond financing of the Gould family for the last fifty years, which has strewn across the con- | tinent the wrecks of the Viabash, the Erie and the Missouri Pacific. Magnificent loot hns been taken from American railroads to swell private fortunes or squander on costly experiments and plans of in- ordinate conquest. Is it to be wondered that these roads are now in a state where they groan at@ach new demand? The railroads of this country have wasted their eubstance in riotous finance. And the bur- Gen ultimately settlos where it always scftles—upon the nublic at large. ‘ epg a eaeet The B. R.

OT MANY young Americans are lucky enough to enjoy a vacation trip to Rome with all expenses paid and @ chence to meet the King of Italy and the Pope. The Philadelphia Federation of Italian Societies, representing some three hundre:! thousand Italians in Penneylvania, wore justly proud when the Phi! @delphia ‘Board of Education made their native tongue an elective study in the Central High School. A citizen of Philadelphia offered @ prize of a round trip to Italy to the student who should write the best essay on the history. art and literature of that country.

The name of the donor of the prize ia Hoffman, and that of the winner Eyster, which seems to indicate that a wide-awake interest fn Italy is not confined to sons or grandsons of that nation alone. ‘This is as it should be. More such travel prizes for public school beys in this country woul’ stimulate study, provide useful vacations and lay foundations for a broader American citizenship.
