TTHE famine among the lobbyists at 1 Annapolis is over! All save threa have been sent to their homes, where their friends and relatives will take care of them, and the three have been given jobs in the State House. The money needed to feed and transport the sufferers came in a lump. At o'clock last night the Hon. John J. Mahon approached my Annapolis agent and banded him a check for $500.

"Give it," said the Hon. Mr. Million, "to the boys. I was poor once myself. I feel for them.

And put it down to 'Cesh'." At once my agent or dered a warm meal, consisting of noodle soup, sauerbraten and potato dumplings, for the sufferers, aud by 11 o'clock this morning, after a substantial breakfast, all save the three above mentioned were provided with railroad tickets, warm overcoats and rations and sent home. A FEW of the hen they learned the source of the money, protested against accepting it on the ground that Mr. Mahon had ruined them by mouopolizingstheir business. Some referred to his gift satirically as a contribution to the conscience fund. But the majority were in such, sore need that they could not afford to raise quibbles, and the rest, being weak from starvation and exposure; were easily clubbed into line by my agent.

Malady Checked.

I Portt Me to Vert lt orl'M The mysterious illness of Mine. Sklodowska Curie has been the talk of all Paris for weeks. Immediately following her trip to Stockholm to receive the Nobel prize, after the sensational use of her name as co-respondent in the suit brought by his wife- against Professor langevin, ot the College of France, it came as a startling development In a thrilling drama. Paris knew, as the World told in these dispatches, that New Year's pay Mine. Curie fell ill.

She was taken to the St. Mary's Sisters' Hospital, in a suburb of the capital. At first it as announced that the distinguished patient was suffering from appendici- lis. It was hinted that an operation might be necessary, and the eminent surgeons who had Mine. Curie's case in hand suggested vaguely that dis tress over the Langevin affair bad superinduced the malady.

January 27 Mme. Curie was removed from tho hospital to her home in Sceux. another suburb. The phy sicians then stated that no operation had been needed, since no acute symptoms had developed. Mine.

Curie only needed rest, seclusion and constant medical care, but they said their patient was very weak and they did not deny that she was suffering great pain. Radium is the cause of Mme. Curie's illness, so your correspondent hears from unimpeachable authority. It appears that no two of the diag noses made by those who attended Mme. Curie agreed.

But the physi cians now unanimously concur in the belief that her organism had imbibed great quantities of the new element, which she and her husband first discovered and isolated. Possibly the particles may have been absorbed during the great woman scientist's long vigils in the laboratory. Perhaps the elusive corroding force may have transferred itself through other substances, such as water, into Mine. Curie's tissues. Mme.

Curie's physicians were all at sea at first as to the cause of her ill ness, it now transpires. The, World's informant, a brother scientist of the attending physicians, says that, tho patient's intense suffering from internal pains led to her being placed un der closest observation. When no symptom of appendicitis could be found the surgeons ascertained on closer investigation that Mme. Curie presented the symptoms of one afflict ed with internal burns, with abscesses which caused her great torture. Inquiry among other medical men ot high rank thereupon brought them a description of the symptoms pre sented by two German scientists who bad been working with radium for months.

They have since joined the army of martyrs to science. The symptoms they exhibited were in every respect, identical with those shown by Mine. Curie. Her attending physician? could only draw the natural inference that with her like conditions had produced, like effects. She Was evidently the victim of a disease so modern it, has not, yet been named one hose exact cause and precise, specillc are equally unknown.

For some weeks every emollient know to science was employed in an effqjt to afford Mme. Curie relief, to no purpose. A few days before Mme. Curie's removal to her homo a new remedy was used, which seemed to counteract iind check the advances of the insidious disease. During the month of February ft has gradually been taking effect.

Mme. Curie's progress toward recovery is slow, ber physicians now say. may bo weeks before she can resume work, but they hope they have at last conjured away the periK TO CONSCIENCE FUND One Veteran Pays For A Blanket, Another For A Mule.

BRYAtt Iff 1908 AND MR, ROOSiVILT IS 1912 At the time when William Jennings Bryan returned from his trip around tho world, shortly before the Demo cratic National Convention of 190s, it was evident that he, as a candidate for the Presidential nomination and the leader of a great party, felt strong upon blra the necessity for a new issue.

Free silver as an issue in politics had been born and died; anti-imperialism bad been born and died. A new banner for his troops was imperatively demanded if Mr. Hryan was to maintain his position at their head and if he was to differentiate himself from the other eminent gentlemen eager to assume leadership. And so Mr. Bryan dug deep into the grab-bag of controversial political questions and brought out the Government ownership of tho railways.

At another time and under other conditions the people of the country might have been very much interested in that subject. In 1S0S they wore not interested in it. Mr. Bryan'B proposition fell flat, ho himself was obliged to minimize its importance, the campaign was fought out on other issues and lie was defeated. It is not difficult to trace an analogy between the course of Mr.

Bryan four years ago and the course of Mr. Ruoso-velt today. In fact, ono can fancy the latter laboring under an awful sense of the tremendous necessity of his cor-ralllngan issue much more easllythan one can Imagine Mr. Bryan in thesimi-lar position. Colonel Theodore had to differentiate himself and his position not only from Mr.

Tart that, were easybut also from Mr. La Follctte and Mr. Cummins, from Mr. Wilson and Mr. Clark and Mr.

Bryan himself. The, radicalism of both of the two great parties today runs in closely parallel lines, and to llnd doctrine to espouse that some other radical leader had not already preempted: this was a sore task for a man to set himself. The Colonel, however, went at it blithely, and in the course of time he presented his offering to the people. It was the recall of judicial decisions. What will the result be? It Is quite probable that the analogy may continue to hold good; certainly thero is no evidence as yet that the American peoplo have taken the new Issue to their Issues, aa a matter of fact, cannot, be made mechanically In this country.

They must grow up out of the tumult of our daily living con ditions. What is the necessity of the recall of judicial decisions? In the first place, it is a State and not a national Issue; Theodore has got it into the national campaign only by lugging It in by the ears. Again, in its bald form it would be a vastly revolution ary proposal and. Just as Mr. Bryan hs forced to qualify his Government ownership proposition by placing its operation far off in the distant fu ture, so Mr.

Roosevelt has been obliged to qualify bis proposal: he now would have it. apply only to a very limited class of decisions, and then would stretch out. tho period of discussion before the people for two years. In-all probability the recall of judicial decisions Issue will drop out. of sight In about as quickly as did the Government ownership issue in 3 90S, and if Mr.

Roosevelt gets the Republl caunnmiuatioiithe tight will be fought around his personality, as the 1908 fight was fought, Hrouud Mr. Bryan's. The spectacular, the dramatic, effect nf a new and startling issue will be as lacking in the ono case as in the other. And if the Democrats name a candidate representative of the real Issues now vexing the people, there is no reasou to believe that Mr. Roosevelt will bo more successful than was Mr.

Bryan, MORE TROUBLE THE SlVOOIS That there should be new troubles in the. school department and that the hands of some of those who were banded together against Superintend ent Van Sickle should now be turned against their own allies Is not surpris ing. Insubordination is a dangerous weapon to play with. Yon may make it do your work ono day, but the next It is doing the work of some one against you. Practical politics is another dangerous plaything.

The mainspring of Its operation is the distribution of spoils, and whenever spoils are distributed some one Is sure to get nothing or to bo dissatisfied with his share.

Hailed As A Noble State Paper And The President's Finest Effort. (Editorial In eir Vort Sua "Do you believe in the rule of the people?" shrieks the third-term candidate iu that number of the Outlook hich Is dut'Ml today.

"If you do you are with us. If you do not you are against us. In reality the iusuc Is perfectly simple." At Toledo last evening President Taft discussed the rule of the people. Nothing that ever proceeded from the mouth or pen of this sincere intelligent and patriotic representative of the American system of popular gov ernment is mora worttiv nf the, dili gent attention of bis fellow-citizens. The address ill be read this morning hy millions of Americana.

But his conception of the; ruie oi tiie people is as dinercnt irom that professed at Columbus hy the Candidate of Self as popular government by American law is different from popular government by lynch law. With regard "to the rule of the people" Presjdent Taft is the Progressive aud Mr. Roosevelt the reactionary. Consider first the President's masterly exposure of the inutility and folly of Mr.

Roosevelt's doctrine of the recall of Judicial decisions. We quote a few passages from the Toledo speech: "What this recall of decisions will amount to if applied to constitutional questions is that there will bo a suspension of the Constitutiou to enable a temporary majority of the electorate to enforce a popular but invalid act." "A most serious objection to the recall of decisions is that it destroys all probability of consistency in constitutional interpretation. The majority which sustains one law is not the same majority which comes to consider another, and the obligation of consistency of popular decisions is one which would sit most lightly on each recurring electorate, and the operation of the system would result in the suspension or application of constitutional guaranties according to popular whim. We would then have a system of suspending the Constitu tion to meet special cases. The greatest of all despotisms is a government of special Instances." "Can it be that the power of a temporary riiajority of the electorate by a single popular vote to do away with rights secured to individuals which bave been inviolable for seven hundred years since the days of Magna Charta approves itself to those who love liberty aud who hold dear' its sacred guaranties? Would we not in giving such a powerful effect to the momentary impulse of a majority of an electorate prepare the way for the possible exercise of the grossest "Finally, I ask what is the necessity for such a crude, revolutionary, fitful and unstable way of reversing judicial construction? Why, if the construction is wrong, can it not be righted by a constitutional amendment? I have examined this proposed method of reversing judicial decisions on constitutional questions with care.

I do not hesitate to say that it lays the ax at the foot of the tree of well-ordered freedom and subjects the guaranties of life, liberty and properly, without remedy, to tho fitful impulse of a temporary majority of an electorate. Contrast this sort of belief in the rule of the people through the well-ordered agencies of organic law with the ideas of law notoriously enter tained by tho third-term candidate in till cases where the results of orderly procedure fail to coincide with his personal opinions, or to gratify his personal pride of opinion, or to suit his political or personal interests at the moment. We might mulf.iplv to hundreds Or to thousands our illustrations of Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward the principle which Mr. Taft holds sacred the principle of government by permanent law.

not sub loot to change In a special case by the momentary impulse of a temporary majority. Klitnni! itt V'cie VorA World. Mr. Tal't's answer to Mr. Roosevelt's i Columbus speech Is complete anil overwhelming.

Nothing else that the President, has ever said equals In clearness, in dig nity, iu statesman ship aud In cumulative force his address at Tolpdo last night on "The Judiciary and Progress." It is a noble state paper hich i should be read and studied by every American citizen. Mr. Taft, has gone straight to the heart, of the issuo, which is not whether there are bad judges: which is not, whether there are unjust, decisions; which is not whether Justice Is always impartially administered by tho courts, but which Is whether we are to continue under a Constitution by which the rights of the minority ran bo protected from tho tyranny of tho majority. Kilitorint in err- Tor. 1 Mr.

Taffs argument against the recall of judges, as made at Toledo, Is logical, thoughtful and confuses nothing. Ignoring details of the judiciary recall program, but taking the proposition in Its broadest asnect, ho attempts to show that the neople do not choose the judges and therefore they ought not to be trusted to recall them. W'o are bound to sny that this argument, addressed to tho peoplo by a candidate Becking their votes, Is more courageous than diplomatic. It docs him far more credit as a student than as a statesman in a democracy. Edi'forio) in Vorfc Time.

Again, our visitor from a sister planet would see furious denunciation of Colonel Roosevelt's "insatiable am bition," an ambition leading him to seek a third term iu tho Presidency. when all our most honored Presidents, with 'Washington at. their head, have refused this. But.

it is none the less truo that be (lid refuse a third term when he might have had ono without turning two lingers, nay more, when it was no easy matter to resist the many and strenuous attempts made to force one upon him. Moreover, as was pointed out in a recent article of this series, he is the only President who refused a third term avowedly be cause he thought no President should hold oHioo continuously for more thau eight years. Washington did so because ho was old and tired of public life; Jackson, because he, was yet oltler md ill beside: no other President could have had a third term bad he wished one. It is truo ithat. If wc may believe the press dispatches, the Demoeratfc Representatives were aroused to great enthusiasm on Feb runry Ti when they heard read the passage of Washington's, Farewell Address, wherein he "speaks of thel dangers of a third tens for any Presi Inasmuch, however, as there Is no such passage, nor one word on the subject, in the Farewell Address, this report, shows only bow intelligent, are the or how truthful are the chroniclers.

This is sound and worthy doctrine: nevertheless, if one were to charge Taft with 'ingratitude" to Roosevelt what he said would be, ut least, intelligible; to accuse Roosevelt of "ingratitude" to Taft, to make out the benefactor "ungrateful" to tha beneficiary, is to talk nonsense pure and simple.

1 ept a third term unuer anv i-ireuiu-, Kiances and because a.ain, lnJune, 1011, he said bo could not support President Taft for nomination but would not be himself a candidate in ,912. There is an old French proverb which warns one against saying "Fountain, I will not drink of thy waters," and this la very good advice for our public men, but those who first gave it knew nothing of American journalism. When the enterprising reporter of the Daily Paul Pry cheer ily "butts in" with, "Mr. Victim, tbe No-Matter-What-Sbip may become vacant withiu your lifetime: will you try for it?" If V. replies.

"I have never thought on the subject," or "I don't know," or "I'll- think of that when the time comes," or "I have nothing to say," or "It's none of your business," or, in short. If he says anything except "No," jvitbout qualification or reservation, the Paul Pry has "scored," for it can publish, "Mr. Victim doesn't deny that he may try for the office," and this may well cause him to bo "headlined" as "a receptive candidate" from one end of the country to the other; although, in fact, the idea of running for tbe place may have never even dawned on his mind. It is in no wise surprising if those constantly exposed to such treatment are sometimes less guarded in their denials than the uncertainty of human life and purpose makes isc for a philosopher. If wo admit, however, that Colonel Roosevelt has, in fact, done what seven years or even seven months ago be thought and said he wouldn't do, how does this fact show him to be "perfidious" or "treacherous," orshow anything except that his foresight is not always as good as his hindsight? He tells us that in 1904 he thought and spoke only of a th.rd consecutive term and that last year he didn't expect or Intend, as he has never desired, to seek tho nomination this year, but he became convinced later that it was his duty to do this.

Except for those who think everything ho says must be false and everything ho does must be base and wicked, these statements bear the marks of obvious truth. If, however, It were clear in both cases that he had. in truth, changed bis mind, would this involve any moral obliquity? A mere statement of expectation or present purpose Is.not a promise: a man who says "I slntll go to New York tomor row" docs not break bis word be cause he stays In Baltimore. Moreover, supposing that he had really promised some definite person not to sorve his country again as President. "under any circumstances," It is at least an open question whether such a promise would not have been con trary to good morals and public policy, and therefore one which it.

was his duty to disregard. To discuss this question, however, were merely childish, as tho facts stand, for the protended "promise" was made only to tho circumambient air. Indeed, the attitude of Colonel Roosevelt's critics toward his supposed Indelicacies of conduct is so absurdly Incongruous with their own behavior that the whole outcry would bo ridiculous were its subject matter of less moment, to tho public. The writer received within (he lacit few days nn abusive anonymous letter, wailed In Wanbtngtou, wherein he was reproached with supporting one who, in Its words, "has done a thing which would not pass in Bny court of honor." That a coward, afraid or ashamed to sign his own name to offensive words be has written, should talk about, courts ot honor ts no whit more preposterous than that men who write as they sre ordored for papers owned by unscrupulous "interests" should presume to speak of the mollves, tho customs or the obligations of gentlemen.

His rendition of the difficult French into English bad been almost perfect, but he bad made one slip. The French word "tu'lcttr" he translated "bird." "Not bird, you dummy; it means thief," whispered his next neighbor excitedly. But tbe "brightest man" kept on ith his translation, serenely ignoring the slip. When be paused the professor was waiting for him.

"Ah, monsieur," he demanded, "aud 'ow did you translate ze word 'vet-curt" "Bird," replied the brightest man imperturbahly. "An' w'at kind of a bird, monsieur, may I ask?" "Jail bird." And the professor was silent. Tho brightest man had scored again. Navigating The Mountains. (From the Popular Magazine.
