Germany did not advance her cause
any by the sinking of the Lusitania, as
the deed whereby hundreds of women
and childaen lost their lives was not an
act of war. but one Of deliberate, whole
sale murder.
True, the vessel on which were the
women and children was prize for Ger
man warships. and German sea power
was entitled to capture the Lusitania il il
could. to sink her if necessity compelled,
but not until every non-combatant was
taken from her decks. not untilthe safety
of every life had been assured.
Of the many heinous offenses Germany
has been guilty of since the war began,
this murder of defenseless women and
children is the. .foulest blot yet upon that
nation.

The State political campaign is getting

letup for aspirants from now until the

Three candidates have declared them
selves for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and one for the Republican
nomination. The Democrats are Senator
Blair Lee, State Comptroller Emerson G.
Harrington and Congressman ]. Charles
Linthicum. VIM. T. Warburton is the
sole Republican in the field as yet, but
others may enter the running at any
time.
In addition, two candidates have an
nouuced themselves for the Democratic
nomination for State Comptroller. They
are Hugh A. McMullen, of Cumberland,
and William B. Copper, of Kent county.
The Republicans have not declared them
selves, but there are several G. 0. P.
possibilities.
Albert c. Ritchie, of Baltimore, has
announced his candidacy for the demo
cratic nomination for Attorney General,
and State Senator William Miles Maloy
is also expected to run.
AS for the county campaign, the list Of

P6wer Of the supreme court.

"The supreme court of the United
States" writes Christian Bonnet In
Case and Comment, exercises pow
er which we think is unique in the
world, to pass upon the constitutional.
ity OF the statutes enacted by con-
gress. It may thus suspend the execu.
tion OF the resolutions lawfully adopt
ed by both houses.
The French courts have the right to
interpret the law. They cannot refuse
to do SO under pretext that the law d
not clear or that 1t Is silent or insult
1cient By so doing the judge be-
comes guilty Of a misdemeanor called
denial Of justice, and he is punished
by fine and deprived OF all civil
rights for period varying from Eve
to twenty years. But no court In
France. not even the court OF cassa-
tion, has the power to decide whether
law passed by congress is unconstitu-
donai or not"

Tiny Things Sway Calamity or Success

Everybody knows what little thing

An engineer knows when his train,

gone one inch of the track over a
precipice.
Some men have minds one inch of
the judgment track, and that causes
all their schemes, gigantic and brilliant
as they may be, to run amuck
Every calamity and every success in
life is controlled by inches.
Men rarely go to their doom In an
hour. 1t is inch by inch.
An successes are won inch by inch.
As inch by inch the waters Of life
creep in to engulf us, so inch by inch
the obstacles that impede our prog
ress move aside.
The man who attempts to leap over
the inches to reach his goal gets there
with broken leg.
The word inch has forbidding
sound. 1t is because it holds us in its
clutches. We cannot ignore an inch

All diseases move inch by inch. Be
fore the scarlet fever breaks out in a

The overstepping Of an inch in the

The Referendum Amendment

The election of this coming fall, al
though the fact is not generally recog-
nized, is more important SO far as State
affairs are concerned, than any election
we have had for great many years, and
this, not bcanse Of the officers to be
chosen, but because for the first time
since at least the adoption of the last con-
stitution, the citizens of Maryland have
an opportunity to re-invest themselves
with some of the power of which in their
Constitution they have Invested them
selves. There will be four Constitutional
amendments voted upon, the general ten
dency of all of which is to give the peo-
pie greater liberty concerning their own
affairs The amendment which probably
in the long run will prove to be the most
important, is that which will secure the
right of referendum, as it is called, to the
citizens of the State.
The idea of referendum to the people
of this country is very old one, dating
even to the formation of our government.
Constitutions and amendments to. consti.
tutions have been referred to popular vote
innumerable times. Laws have been re-
ferred to the people under express pro,
visions of the Constitution. but until late
years, the people have not themselves
been allowed to challenge directly the
action of Legislature and review or con
firm It. We have allowed our Legislatures
to determine with such light as they
might at the moment possess, question.
vitality affecting our liberty or happines:
and our property and the we'll being o.
those who were to succeed us. Our scanty
hold upon them has been in our ability tc
repeal their errors at a succeeding legis
lature, and often this has come too late tc
be of practical value, or the succeeding
legislature has committed new errors Oh
indnlged in new abuses aggravatiug the
original offense.
For the frst time in its history, the
State of Maryland has an opportunity tc
reform this condition, and in making
such reformation. to follow after the en-,
lightened commonwealths which have
preceded 1t in the same direc ion, the
procession including such States as Or
egon. Washington. California. Nevada,
Montana, Colorado. Arizona. Oklahoma,
Nebraska, North and South Dakota,
Missouri, Arkansas. Michigan. Ohio and
Maine, no one Of which today would sur
render the great boon the referendum
has brought TO its citizens.

When Earthquakes Come.

That animals are sensitive to the ap-
proach OF earthquakes is a fact fire.
queDtly observed and the more recent
seismic troubles in various countries
give numerous examples Of this singu-
lar faculty which many animals pos
sess. For instance. In Japan horses set
up an unusual agitation whenever q
seisule shock is near at hand. In Gen.
tral America dogs and cats fee from
houses and the Inhabitants have be-
come so accustomed to this that they
follow tile example of the animals and
leave tieit dwellings SO as to escape
danger
In Italy II mas been observed that
birds Jeff their nests and few up to a
great height In the air. but this with
out noise before the earthquake took
place However. at the time when
the earthquake shocks were produced
the birds uttered cries which lasted
for all the duration of the earthquake.

crow and dogs howl just before an
earthquake. Chicago News.

Raoord Gales.

There have been terrific gales in va
rious places all over the world In
many instances it is, of course. impos-
sible to obtain any exact record of the
velocity of the wind. but the highest
ever recorded was reported from Cape
Mendocino, CAL. in January, 1886,
when the thermometer registered 144
miles an hour.
At Cape Lookout, on the Atlantic
coast, there is no telling what the rec
ord force of the wind might have been
had not the thermometer blown away
after registering 1873 miles an hour.
This fearful hurricane hit the middle
Atlantic coast on Aug. II, 1879.
In June. 1881. wind of 112 miles

If there Is one danger that sailors
