THE PREsLDEN7LAL MOTIVATION OUTLOOK.

eA HE presidential situation for both political parties is s o much
elouded by the conflicting claims for rival candidates that
it will take some time to clarity it. and probably the real
situation in both parties will not be developed until The national
conventions shall meet in June. On the Republican side every
district and State delegate election that reveals the weakness of
Mr.. Taft is an argument for his managers for his withdrawal. As
rational men they cannot fail to see that in forcing his nomina-
ton at Chicago they are riding to a fall in November On the
Democratic side Speaker Clark, occupied with his duties at Wash
ington. makes steady progress. Behind his candidacy is tle old
Jaeksonian spirit which he typifes. And it is a tribute to this
man that while Mr.. Bryan avowedly holds him in the highest
regard he has the confidence of the great business community. IL
Speaker Clark had permitted his name to go upon the primary
ticket in New Jersey he would be astonished at the evidence of his
popularity in the State. His chivalrous withdrawal has enhanced
as well as improved his chances in other States. In the Democratic
national convention it will take a two thirds majority to nominate.
No candidate will be able to command that strength on the first
ballot and therefore the possibility of the dropping of the leading
candidate and a rush TO Harrison or Harmon or Foss or to a dark
horse. 1t is plainly within the possibilities for a fourth candidacy
for William J. Bryan.

what Can BE Done.

To che Editor of the Evening Star:
Can n of your readers tell what is
the meaning of the numerous serious
strikes in different parts of the world?
Is it merely a general feeling of I'M
necessary unrest or is it the signal
that private interests nave forced the
common people to the limit of endur-
ance and the victims are striking back
in s~elf-defense? The latter version is
the writer's answer to the terrible
sufferings which are being endured all
over the world as a result of the mas
sive labor war. Let other readers tell
us through your valuable columns what
they think of 1t.
While the scale of wages has in
creased to a great extent in many lines
of industry, there are some workers
who cannot get an increase in wage for
the kind of work they do. Their en-
ployers say the profits now are no
greater than before and they cannot

SURPRISING AN IMPORTANT BILL.

ca HE judiciary committee of the Assembly is composed of three
II lawyers and two laymen. George w. Whyte, of Camden. is
the chairman. The bill introduced by Senator Colgate for a
commission to investigate the corporation laws got past the Sen
ate, but stuck in the Assembly judiciary committee. Efforts to have
the bill reported proved unavaiing. On the last day of the session
all The Essex Assemblymen signed a request that the bill be re
ported. but the committee chairman chung to the bill. These
tactics and their motives are well understood, for they have been
familiar enough in the past. But they are just now under public
reprobation. The committee will have an opportunity next
Wednesday to surrender the bill to the House for the necessary
action. Senator Colgate should insist upon that course and hold
the committee up to its bOunden duty.

why Measles \. Prevalent.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
There are so many cases of measles
reported from various localities thai
l am prompted to call attention to a
statement made by DR.. Watt. of Chr
cago. in an address some time ago in
this city. He claimed that WI keep
our schools, our homes and our
churches too warm; that we bake III
brains and impoverish our bodies by
breathing dry hot air and urged that
the temperature of a room be reduced
to so degrees. He told of a hundred
pupils who were kept in a cool room
and who had no case of measles, scar
let fever, humps or w%hooping cough
during the entire winter. His pre-
vention is the forcing into the air of
a large mount of water-vapor SO as
to increase the humidity. When the
air is warmed to a temperature above
70 degrees it reduces the humidity and
kills the radio-activity.

MANY DELEGATE ELECTIONS THIS e E

TT HE present week will be big with presidential nomination
Ii campaign events that may have a decisive effect upon the
candidates.. Nearly two hundred Republican convention
delegates will be chosen in nine States. The chief interest lies
IN the Illinois primaries tomorrow, where the Republican contest
has assumed almost savage aspects. The battle is a triangular
one, which is to the advantage of Taft, but if the primary election
figures shall correspond with the straw votes taken in Illinois
Taft will be third in the poll in every district. In Pennsylvania
many thousands of Philadelphia Republicans are shut out from
the primaries because they voted for a reform Independent Repub
ican for mayor in the last election, but Notwithstanding that handi
cap it is fully expected that Taft will sustain a severe defeat both
in the city and State. The various State conventions to be held
this week will be scenes of bitter strife, New YOrk's Republican
convention at Rochester tomorrow will be a sequel of the primaries.
The action of that convention can only serve to intensity the anti
Taft feeling in the West.

A CURE CLAIMED FOR RABIES.

~ SURE cure for hydrophobia would be one of he greatest
~ gifts of medical science to humanity. DR.. Harris, city
bacteriologist of st. Louis, who makes this claim, has un-
usual grounds for it. for he saved his own life with the virus that
he devised after having been accidentally inOculated with the germs
from a mad dog. He also points to a score of other cases in his
own city where his remedy has been tried without one failure. Dr..
Harris apparently has made no departure from the Pasteur ss.
tenn in principle, but the alleged advantage of his serum lies in its
superior potency and in the fact that it keeps its power for 149
Days, as against fifteen days fr. the Pasteur virus. This means that
the Harris cure may be shipped to any part of the world ready

JUST BY THE WAY.
A Desert Tragedy.

A Desert Tragedy.
The elephant sat in the lemon tree,
A'swaying to and fro,
And a beautiful warbling song sang he
To the whale on the branch below,
Though a cold wind blew from the dts
tant sea,
And the desert was deep in
And this is the song that the elephant
sung,
To the tenderly dreaming whale,
(F'or her name was May, n the two
were young
And she loved his eloquent tale,
And she loved his trunk, as it swayed
and swung
In the Icy, tropical gale).
"Oh, come, my love, let us fly away
To a warmer cline han this;
On the palm-lined beaches of Baff1n's
Bay
Let us live In a lifelong bliss,
With no one to list to the words we
say,
And no one to watch us kiss
But the whale was shy and she
dropped her eye.
And she blushed a beautiful green,
And the elephant dropped from his
perch on high
To the side of his bosom's queen,
And she heaved a sigh as he fiuttered
nigh,
Like a 30-h. p. machine.
And his yesrning arms he opened
wide
Then the branch broke down, and,
oh!
He broke his back and she bitterly
cried,
For her ankle was sprained, you
know,
And side by side the lovers died
In the equatorial snow.

IT rs an i'll wind that blows nobody good. The ill wind of the
Western floods has blown bigger profits to the meat trust.
On the plea that cattle shipments have been cut off the trust
has doomed prices. There has been a considerable advance all along

nine year prosecution of the meat trust being ended, the trust is now
impregnably entrenched within the law and can do what it pleases

the treasures of china into Newark
