William Randolph Hearst pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune of
January 10. 1t that interview
Mr.. Hearst outlined what he be-
lieved to be the vital issues of
the next campaign and he stru ck
a note of sympathy in the minds
ana hearts of the majority of the
democratic leaders, when he said
1.-The main issue of a party of the
people is to attend to the business
before the people.
"ln this country of sudden
trust development the one domi-
mating issue-made so by the
trusts themselves-is the trust
issue"
Those two sentences struck the
majority of the democratic lead
ers here as the very essence of
good sense, and when they were
accompanied by an exhaustive
outline of the conditions that
exist and the issues that should
grow out of these conditions, the
interview, In its entirety, made
up comprehensive democratic
platform of live issues upon which
the party could go before the
people and win. That is the way
In which his interview, which in
reality is national platform,
struck the majority of the leaders
of the party here in the national
capital, and have talked to tn e
most of them personally about it.
They want man for the nomi-
nee who stands for something
definite In the shape of jefferson
ian and Jacksonian democr acy
and who not only is aggressive
but progressive. Therefore, they
now are contracting his wide
open aggressive and progressive
democratic policy with the Fa-
bian and hide and seek politics
of some others who have been
mentioned for the democratic
nomination and he is easily grow
Ing in the estimation of many
who, few months ago, were in
clined to give his candidacy tn e
"horse hoot." The Hearst move.
ment is serious factor in the
democratic presidential equation
and Is now so recognized here In
Washington.

Bryan's Ideas Not Approx ed.

The late speech Of the Hon.
William j. Bryan, in the city of
Lincoln, Nebraska, in which he
outlined his position on the next
democratic platform and advo-
Gated the ratification and reaf-
firmation Of the Chicago and
Kansas City platforms, thereby
making the money issue again
the leading issue in the campaign
or at least one Of the leading
issues, has attracted much atten =
tion here among the leaders of
the party in Congress.
A careful poll of the demo
Gratis IN Congress fails to reveal
any considerable number of
them who agree with Mr.. Bryan.
More than nine tenths of them
are opposed to making the
money issue prominent in the
platform or even mentioning it
at all.
They say that the money Issue
for the present Is a closed issue.
That the influx Of gold to this
country on account of the new
gold strikes in the Klondlke and
other places, the failure of crops
in the older countries and the
money dumped iuto circulttion
on account of the late Spanish =
American war, has proved con-
clusively the democratic con-
tention In those two platforms 4:
that there was not enough
metallic money in circulation to
do the business of the country
Oh, that this increase Of the gold
has supplied the place of the sill
yer for which they contended,
that the consequence was what
they contended 1t would be, VIZ :
prosperity. ......
This refusal to agrse with Mr..
Bryan in his idea of what the
next platform should be has at
tracted widespread attention to
the recent interview with Hon.

Radium and the Age of the Sun.
By Garrett p. Services.

A new phase of the discussion
aroused by the wonderful prop
critics of radium has been opened
by Prof. George ii. Darwin, best
known as the son of the father of
Darwinism, Charles Darwin, and
as mathematician of great
ability, who invented the tidal
theory of the birth of the moon
from the earth.
Prof Darwin appeals to the
newly discovered source of energy
contained in atoms, and illustra,
ted by the continual radiation
given forth from radium and
other substances, for a means of
vastly prolonging the. age and
the future existence of the sun.
Lord Kevlin many years ago cal.
culated, upon the basis of the
then known laws of matter and
energy, that the sun could hardly
have existed as a light giving
body more than 100,00O,00O
years, and upon similar grounds
the future duration of the sun
has been estimated at not more
than 100000, and possibly
not more than 100000 years.
This, to be sure, would be
ample time for the ripening of all
present human schemes, but it is
brief period in astronomical
reckoning, and one hardly likes
to think of the sun going out so
soon.
But now comes Prof. Darwin
with the very comforting assur.
ance that the sun must be very
much longer lived than we have
hitherto supposed. Knowing, as
we do, he says, that an atom of
matter is capable of containing
an enormous store of energy in
itself, we have no right TO assume
that the sun cannot liberate
atomic energy to a degree at
least comparable with what it
would do if made Of radlum. And
with this new light upon the
subject he sees no reason to doubt
the possibility of augmenting the
estimate of the duration of the
solar heat to ten or twenty times
its present calculated value.
According to this view, we may
regard the sun as having existed
for at least one or two thousand
million years, and we count upon
its continuing to illuminate and
warm the earth for one or two
hundred million years yet to
come.
The new view will commend
itself to geologists and evolution
lists who have always protested
against the brevity of the suns
existence as heretofore calculated
because it did not afford sufficient
time for the developmentof the
existing species of animals and
plants upon the earth from
the exceedingly simple forms in
which life appeared at the be
ginning. Now, however, when
geological time, thanks to the
hint given by radium, may be
reasonably stretched out from ten
TO twenty times the estimate of
its former length, the situation
is changed, and the theory of
evolution gains just what is
wanted.
This is always the way in
science. Some unexpected dis.
covery is presently seen to strike
the root of things apparently un-
connected with it, and then, with
a readjustment of theories to fit
the new state of facts, there
comes an advance all along the
line. But this does not, in any
lnppnn Cn1;I;I,, -,
