The Efforts and
Achievements of Science

What does the world know that it
didn't know year ago? The year was
yet young when the realm of science
was astounded and the whole civilized
world interested by the achievement of

citation with her husband. Professor

are yet perplexed by its apparent con-
tradictions and miraculous powers. To
the layman 1t is known as a substance
separated chemically in very small
quantities by the reduction of large
amount of uranium. which is the waste
product of the oxide works in Austria.
Its most striking property, for which it
was named. is the capacity to radiate

A Look al the Log
Of Our Ship of State

The amazing thing is the figure we

far between are the nations that have
not felt the pressure Of American di-
plomacy backed by American guns and
by American money. There was bank

great European creditors. \ word

The New Factors
In the Social Equation
+ + +

Society as whole, and especially
our own country of boasted liberty
within law, has been confronted with
an appalling disregard OF law and
legal process, amounting to an epidem-
ic of crime. This is a condition which
confronts thoughtful and law respect
Ing people. however theories may diff
fer as TO its cause. And it needs no de-
tailed list or statistical compilation to
prove that il has been intensified in
the twelvenonth past. 1t stares US in
every one of the 200 or more negro
lynchings plus the unspeakable crimes
that inspire that extra legal, un-Chris-
tan and ineffective remedy. More than
in any former year the north has such
instances TO answer for without the
apology of an Outnumberng negro
mass. which the south has to deal
with. This phase of the epidemic has.
of course, its practical political bear
ings, growing out Of opposition in the
south to federal appointments Of he
groes. Unquestionably the number and
brutality of murders, the suicides, the
rohheries, the arsons, the forgeries,
the briberies. and especially the crimes
of the very young. like Chicago's boy
bandits, have exceeded all former rec
ords. Socioogists are trying with new
zeal 10 find and remove the cause OF
this decay. and many are tracing it TO
the accumulation of vast fortunes and
the extravaganza and unequal distri-
button of opportunities The al
legged tendency of modern society TO
avoid the responsibility of rearing chill
dren came in for widespread condemna-
tion through President Roosevelt's let
ter in commendation of Mrs. Van
Vorsts woman Who Tolls" His char
acterization of this tendency as race
suicide was echoed by the many, though
denounced by some who regard quality
of offspring as more important than
quantity The increased number
of divorces. including many in so call
ed high society, has stimulated afresh
concerted movement of pulpit and
press for more uniform restriction Of
the marriage relation, though strenu-
ous minority sees health in utmost lib
erty. The beginning of the or
ganizatiOn of domestic servants las
added to the perplexity of the servant
problem. which has been solved by the
cooperative family club.

RUSSIA in all her vastness and pow

world opinion. Great hopes were
raised by the cars manifesto Of re-

Jews at Kishineff in May and their
persecution in other places with official
connivance went far to discredit that
great proclamation. The continued and
increased restriction of liberty in Fin
