them more subject to this affection?
DR.. Lorenz may be able later to throw
some light upon this question. Mean
while. it is blessing that he is here.
He is a wonderful man, gifted with a
skill never equaled in the handling of
these cases and endowed with a deep
sympathy for the sufferers. He has
worked some marvellous cures in the
past. He does not promise or pretend
to cure all cases. Some are beyond
him. Friday he frankly said that he
had examined many cases where the
muscular forces had become complete.
ly paralyzed. and for them he could do
nothing.
The little children who are painfully
making their way about on crutches,
OF in chairs, as the result Of the cpl
demic of some years ago. represent
one Of the unsolved problems of medi-
cal science. The disease from the ef-
fects Of which they are now crippled
teriologists and physicians are work
ing to find a preventive and a cure,
while DR.. Lorenz Is working to restore
as many as may be of the victims to
comparative health and strength. A
plan is under way to endow q great
clinical hospital in this country. under
his direction, where he can not only
treat these cases-he works without
fee, giving his services free-but can
train others to carry on this blessed
work throughout the country.

understanding of the American point
of view and his resourcefulness in
suggesting and aiding solutions of
difficult questions.
Active and methodical, NJ. Tardieu
brought into French political life the
rapid understanding, q sense of real
tiles and power Of organization which
is typical of the good American busi-
ness man. If he had chosen to engage
in trade and finance rather than in
politics no one doubts that he would
have been as successful in these
fields.
His eloquence and logic which
first won him renown in the French
courts. have made him one of the
most able parliamentary orators in
France today
remain associated with the work he
accomplished as the French high COM
missioner to the United States in the
tense period which preceded Amer
ica's entry into the war. Delegated
by the French government to Wash
ington with full powers, NJ. Tardieu
was for a long time the liaison officer
between the governments of the two
countries.
m. Tardieu's mission to. the United
States was even more successful than
had been hoped. He obtained for
France the supplies of raw materials
necessary to the continuance Of the
struggle and his advice did much to
speed up Americas war effort and
make 1t felt at the, front in the crit

Malaria.

Malaria is a word which does not
often appear in Washington papers.
The word has almost passed out of the
vocabulary of Washington people, bu.
in their vocabulary it once had COM
manding place. Not to have "chills
and fever" and malaria" at certain
seasons. at any seasons or at all sea-
sons, was to be an exceptional man or
woman. Our extensively advertised
medicines were for the cure Of. so it
was said, "chills and fever" That
was when wide marshes bounded the
city on two sides and these marshes
were vast breeding beds for mos
quitoes, and mosquitoes were thought
Of as one Of the necessary inconven-
fences Of life, just as flies were. Part
unreclaimed, but work on it pro-
crosses. The mosquito evil is under
control, and sensible people are as
much on their guard against mos
sects which were Stunned by careful
housekeepers when flies and mos.
quitoes enjoyed the freedom Of thu
premises.
In the account of the illness Of
Baron Shidehara, whose illness all the
friends Of international amity regret,
it is said that his condition has been
caused by overwork and a nervous
collapse which has been complicated
by malaria" Illness from overwork Is
rather a rare condition among us, but
the diagnosis in the case of the Japa-
nese ambas ssador is no doubt accurate.
Malaria is disagreeable alone or in as
sociation with any other complaint, and
Washingtonians wish the baron quick
recovery. Old Washingtonians feel
that he did not get his malaria here.
or that it was not Washington malaria
which got him here, for within the
past quarter Of a century malaria has
come to be almost as unusual a con-
dition among us as exhaustion from
overwork.

the American government. It was
stated later that these notes would be
studied and possibly action would be
taken. The lawabiding, government
supporting citizens who have had
quite enough OF this sort Of thing are
wondering now why the government
does not adopt the policy Of direct
action" on its own account. Surely
there is cause for prosecution in a
speech Of this kind. There can be
nothing helpful in letting these wild
eyed fanatics scream forth revolution
under the pretense Of denouncing "in-
justice" to two men who have been
convicted with due regard for all the
forms Of law.
This Sacco-Vanzetti case is merely
being utilized by the reds as a means
Of working up insurgency. Thousands
Of people have been persuaded by the
shrewd speakers and writer's enlisted
in this propaganda that gross breach
Of justice has occurred. These people
are, of course, personally Indifferent
to the fate of the two men. But to
them they are martyrs. sacrificed for
their opinion.
The danger in this matter is not. Of
course, the overturn Of the govern
ment. Revolutionary radicalism in
America is too far In the minority ever
to score that far. But the peril is that
half balanced individuals may be fired
by these fanatical appeals to the point
Of committing murder. Every man
and woman who on the platform Of
such a meeting as that of Friday night
screams for vengeance and direct
mass action" is a potential assassin
by inspiration and suggestion. And
that is why there should be no ques-
ton about action based upon the ut
terances of these malevolent people
at the meetings Of protest.

Your Fountain Pen.

The editor of the London Mail un-
questfonably sought to remedy a
worldwide complaint when he. pre-
vailed upon "a pen expert; to write
an article on whats the Matter
With Your Penn" In any event, here
are some of the pointers the expert
gives the vast army of sufferers from
either too wet or too dry fountain
pens.
+ Many fountain pen irregularities
result from apparently trivial hap
penings. For example, the man who
lends a friend his pen must not be
surprised IL II never works quite
as well afterward. No amount of
fair wear and tear will cause a nib
to deteriorate SO much as a sudden
change of hands. This is because
very few people possess precisely
the same touch. Again, the angle
at which q pen is held varies with
almost every individual.
''Of the millions OF fountain-pen
users in this country. It IL surprising
how few give them q thorough clean
ing. When in regular use a pen
should be cleaned at least once
month.
MANY a pen in constant use works
all the better for q rest. now and
then. This is because the roueher
surface paper cause the nib. to heat
slightly at times, causing blots and
scratching" -.

An Early Beginning.

Although so severely trounced at
the recent election, the independent
voters Of New York city are not dis
couraged, but are already making
preparations for the next mayoralty
contest four years hence. That is to
say. they are organizing upon the as.
enough, no doubt-that
Tammany will be in the field then
with candidate Of its own, and they
know from experience how ineffective
they are against Tammany when they
are not organized.
Tammany is always organized. Hit
or miss at the polls, it remains in
shape for the next engagement. The
rank and file are at the call of tho
leaders, and the leaders are constant.
ly on their jobs.
The foes of Tammany have not en-
joyed this discipline. After an elec.
ton they have always relaxed their
interest. When successful at the polls
they have gone to pieces on patronage
or policies, and lost out at the next
trial of conclusions. When unsuccess-
ful they have fallen into a sulk and
let everything slide.
The purpose now seems to beat
least on the part OF, the independents
to remedy this by taking leaf out
of Tammany's book. Get into shape in
good time. and stay in shape. Keep
up recruiting. and hold all who are
brought into camp. in a word, be
ready when the time comes. and be
able to state In talking fusion what
strength can be delivered to the cause.
The movement has no connection
with national politics, but rests upon
the proposition that the city is en-
titled to good government on strictly
business lines, and that the only way
to secure this is for the voters. with
out regard to party affiliations about
party matters, to get together and put
the affairs Of the community iniC the
hands of men representing its best
citizenship.

Politics at Home
Nicholas LouRworth.

A senator is to be elected in Ohio
next year. Presumably. Mr.. Pomerene
will offer for another term. He is now
in his second, and has many elements
Of strength.
The republicans realize that they
must put up strong man, and among
those mentioned for the nomination is
Representative Longworth of Cincin.
natl.
Mr.. Longworth, although but fifty.
one, is veteran legislator, and a man
Of influence on Capitol Hill. He has
specialized on the tariff, and as a
member of the ways and means com.
mittee for some years taken a prom.
inent part in all tariff action and dis
cussions. He was prominent in the
preparation and passage through the
House Of the Fordney measure. He
speaks well, and personally is one of
the most popular men in Congress.
Mr.. Longworth's career in certain
particulars suggests that Of his father.
in-law. Both were born rich, and be.
came industrious men Of action by
choice. Both were educated at Har.
ward. and upon leaving school made
straight for politics. Each began his
political activity as a member Of the
legislature Of his state, and each rose
from high to higher until he achieved
national distinction.
Mr.. Roosevelt's career was un-
matched for versatility and pic.
turesqueness. He did many different
things, and all Of them well. He ex.
plored many fields, and came to con.
sequence in all. Mr.. Longworth has
confined himself to a few things, but
they have been important things. and
he has shown mastery in them.
He is well situated geographically.
Cincinnati, which was once the largest
city in Ohio, has yielded supremacy
as to numbers, but is still highly i'm.
portant in the business world and q
community of much culture, and the
Longworths are intimately associated
with its growth and we'll being. A
number of national figures Of great
force in the political world have re-
sided there.
