WOODS TROUBLES
ARE ALMOST OVER
Senate Plans to Conclude Con-
sideration of Nomination
This Week.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. March 10
Inc senate tomorrow will take up the
consideration of the fertilization bill
and when that measure shall have
been disposed Of will return to the
nomination Of Gen. Leonard Wood.
The committee on military affairs has
recommended an amendment to the
Notifications bill. advocating the pur-
chase of a torpedo boat of the pro
tector" type, for experimental pur-
poses at a cost of $3.50, 900, and as
several senator's have indicated OBJ
position to the proposition, it is ex-
pected 1t will be debated at some
length. Other features also will re-
ceive more or less attention. There
are still several speeches to be made
on the Wood case, but Senator Fora
ker, who is in charge of the nominal
ton, hopes to conclude it's considera-
ton during the week. He will make
the closing speech in support of Gen.
Woods confirmation. The District of
Columbia and Indian appropriation
bills probably will be reported during
the week and will be promptly taken
up for action. If opportunity permits
the bill providing for an additional
departmental building in Washington
as a home for the departments of
state, justice and commerce and labor,
will be considered and Senator Hey
burn has given notice that on Wednes-
day he will call up the pure food bill.
Personal Explanations Coming.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.-
An extended period of personal ex-
PLANTATION undoubtedly will occur dur
ing the consideration of the postoffice
appropriation bill which will be called
UP Monday by Chairman Overstreet.
Monday rightfully belongs to the Dis
trfct of Columbia. but there are few
local matters on the calendar and Mr.
Babcock will abdicate in favor of the
poStoffice bill. The necessity which
many members of the house feel the
Congressional Record should contain
statements in regard to their allow
ance misconduct with the postoffice
department, with regard to salaries,
rent and postoffice quarters, has led
the house to adopt the most liberal
policy in general debate on the post
Office appropriation bill. When these
postoffice bill will be disposed of and
not before. When the postoffice bill
is out of the way the bill for the sup
port of the military academy will fol-
low, and as there are no special or
ders for claims on pensions to inter-
fere 1t may be that both of these sup
ply measures will be disposed of this
week.

CANNON AS A FACTOR.

The remarkable scene witnessed in
the national house of representatives
last Friday when member expressed
the hope that Joseph G. Cannon, speak
er of the house and presiding at the
time, might be elected to the presi-
dency of the United States, has no par
allel in the history of congress. Its
spontanefty was undoubted and the
enthusiasm of the members was made
easily manifest
William Alden Smith, of Michigan,
in addressing the house made these re-
marks:
''The contest now is on between the
representatives of the people and a
bureaucracy that has assumed the
right to sit in judgment upon our off,
cial acts. and, without political re-
sponsibility to anyone, denying to the
public the information properly be-
longing to it.
'FMr. Speaker, whenever the people
want a popular leader they come to
the house of representatives to get
him; and l hope the day is not far dis
tant when the people will deserVedly
crown that great commoner, the
speaker of this house, with the presi-
Dental Office, for which he is so adj
mirably fitted"
The condition into which the house
was thrown is described by the special
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune
(Rep) as ''hystericaL." "The entire
membership of the house cheered Wild
ly to a man."
1t is, then, apparent that that en-
thusiasm for Roosevelt which we have
been assured by the organs of the
bureaucracy now dominating this ma
ton exists, is fictitious. Experience has
taught the nation that the congressman
really make up the representation in
the national convention. Yet here we
are told, on the one hand, that Roose-
welt has no opposition for the presi-
dency, and, on the other hand, we are
shown positively that congress is for
Speaker Cannon for the presidential
nomination.
We have nothing to do with the po-
liticaI affairs Of the Republican party,
but, as an outsider, he Clio b can
not refrain from calling attention to a
condition that challenges the theory
held to by the officeholders who are
under the domination of the man who
is shaping the ends of the Republican
campaign to fit his own ambitions as a
presidential candidate.

a KING IN YELLOW.

Despised at home and reviled abroad,
snubbed by his relatives and pursued
by his creditors, the lot of Leopold,
ruler over the BeIgians, would seem to
be most unhappy one. Yet it is
doubtful if the king himself suffers.
He has been SO busy making those in
timately associated with him suffer
that it is probable he-has had little
time for introspection. The scandal Of
his private life has only been matched
by the scandal of his vicious influence
in the Congo Free State. Many rulers
have suffered from scandal in their
immediate family circle. but in Leo
pold's case it has all been furnished by
him. He may be the first gentleman
in Belgium, but he seems also to be the
first backyard in Europe.
The trouble with this king is that he
is woefully behind the times. Had he
lived couple of centuries or more ago,
before that theory of the divine right
of kings was exploded, his name would
have been publicly execrated by pos
terity only. But whatever rulers them
selves may believe today, their tenure
of office depends largely upon their
own good conduct. Therefore they are,
the majority of them, decent in their
private life and they use their best en-
deayors to keep their relatives in the
paths they should walk. Leopolds
sins stand out with all the greater
prominence because those of no other
monarch detract from them. He is a
ridiculous figure in constitutional
monarchy, for he acts with an utter
disregard of public opinion that leads
the world to believe he considers him
self answerable to no one.
Yet the fact that Belgium is a very
liberal monarchy, almost democracy
in fact is probably the very thing that
saves this king from deposition. He
has brought his country into disrepute
because of his dastardly dealings in the
Congo Free State, but he has not dared
to NEEDLE to any great extent with af-
fairs at home Should Belgium choose

has gone up. 1t is now possible to pro-
cure pound of radium for $4,2o0,000,
but it will not be possible to do SO in
a few days, for the indications are that
the price will continue to rise. This is
rise in price, however, for which no
trust can be blamed. Radium is ex-
pensive not because it is "cornered,"
but because it can't be "cornered."
Radium exists, but radium can't be
found-at least, not in any quantity.
The man who had pocketful
would be able to sing a song, not of
sixpence, but of millions. Unfortunately
or fortunately Git depends very much
upon how each individual regards ra-

that any one man will be able to scrape
together so much. 1t cannot be de-
MED that many look upon radium with
a prejudiced eye. Too much has been
promised for it; not by scientists, to be
explain the scientists. The boldest
have limited that it Is to take the place
of Divine Providence: the most con-
servative, that it is to revolutionize
medicine and cure the ineurable. And
it is this very enthusiasm that has
made the public suspicious. 1t refuses
to welcome very cordially any product
of the earth that takes SO much upon
itself
Therefore the rise in the price Of
radium will cause little genuine regret
So long as Easter bonnets remain sta
I tionary and other necessities of life
show a disposition to come down, the
majority of people will be satisfied and
radium can soar to the skies. 1t Is
probable, indeed. that the scientists
alone are watching the market price Of
radium with anxiety. And the reason
for this is that scientists know less
about radium than any other class Of
people, But this is largely their own
fault They eonfine their reading ex-
clusiyely to the scientific magazines
and they are, therefore. densely igno

confession is more pitiful than ludi-
