HAS NEW THEORY
OF THE CREATION
Chicago Professor Advances
"AccretiOn Hypothesis"
BEGAN AS SPEcK IN SPACE
Bit by Bit Added to Cooling Mass,
Which Gradually Assumed
Globular Form.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. SO.-New theories
OF the origin, formation. and growth
OF the earth. of thermal distribution,
and OF the formation and action OF vol
canoes are advanced in a new book on
geology. written by Prof Thomas c.
Chamberlain. head of the department of
geology at the University of Chicago,
and Prof. Rollin d. Salisbury. of the
same department.
DR.. Chamberlain regulates what is
known as the '-nebular hypothesis of
the earth's origin. and advances in its
stead a new hypothesis, which might be
termed the "accretion hypothesis"
According to the nebular hypothesis
the earth was once in gaseous state,
passed thence into a liquid. and later.
cooling off, became solid.
Bit by Bit.
According TO the view held by Prof
Chamberlain the earth started a mere
speck in space, and was built up gradu-
ally by the infall of matter. bit by bit.

mass became hot as a result of its fall.
it cooled off before others fell on the
same spot. Under this view the internal

cuous order. and hence to have been
indiscriminately mingled in the growing

pressures were raised. much recombina-
ton, chemical and physical. may be
presumed to have followed.

that the internal heat was gradually
developed from the center outward as
the earth grew and the internal COM
preston was progressively developed.
The heat, therefore. continued TO rise

interior o. the earth is composed Of
various kinds of matter mixed as they
happened to- fall in Hence. as tenn
perature rises. the fusion points of some
of these constituents will be reached
before those OF others. The gasses and
volatile constituents in the mixed ma
terial would naturally enter largely into
the liquefied portion.
AS the houe1ed parts rose by fusing
or huxing their way the pressure upon
them became less and less. and hence
the temperature necessary for iquefac-
ton gradually fell leaving them con-
stantly renewed margin of temperature

WHAT WAR COSTS.

The war between Russia and Japan
has already proved a great destroyer
of resources Of both nations. Carlyle
once said that: "Whoever has six
extent of the sixpence." The ready
cash in the hands of Russia and ia
pan when they began to prepare for
active campaigning, has long ago dis
appeared and the taxing ability of each
nation has been called into service
and both have already utilized the
credit they enjoy in the money mar
kets of Europe and America.
War is frightful expense to every
nation resOrting to it, 1t costs enOr
mously to run a big government in
times of peace but, when war is on,
fighting material and maintaining
strength on land and sea and meeting
the fresh demand occasioned by waste
and destruction of material is fearful
ly costly. \ five or ten million dollar
battleship may be sunk b va single
well directed torpedo or submarine
mine. Every battle of any conse-
quence leaves its bloOd-red mark be
hind it in destroyed human life and
material, while military necessity
compels the reckless destruction of
war supplies and buildings and rail-
ways and bridges.
Russia went into the present war
With a debt of nearly four billions of
dollars to pay, almost entirely the re-
suit Of war and military preparations
100000 600 before she undertook her
plucky fight against Russian menaces
and broken faith. When this war sub
sides she may consider herself fOrtu-
nate if she energies with less than
Il two billion dollar debt In this
connection. it is noticeable that in
Russia, one effect of the war has been
the throwing out of employment
| throughout the empire of some four
hundred thousand Workmen of the I'M
skilled class. This would mean. in
other countries. the development of a
dangerous, disconnected class.

All these charges have been maze by
republican organs and politicians, and
the statesman is inclined TO doubt
their truth. Coon is mayor of Port
Townsend and is said to be man OF
commanding presence. For eighteen
years he was employed in the treasury
department at Washington, being as
sistant secretary for several years be-
fore his retirement. For Il few weeks
he acted as chief of the treasury de-
partment and at different times he was
intrusted with important missions to
the fnanciers of Great Britain. 1t is
NOT easy to believe that q man of such
fine bearing and aristocratic appear
ancn would stoop to the hideous vices
with which he is charged. While Mr.
Coon is a chronic OfficehOlder who has
had a long pull at the public teat. the
fairminded people of the state will be
slow to believe that he is not a gen
tleman in private life.

STENENSON'S EVIL EYE.

The diplomatic B. D. Croker
brought Editor Durham of the Spokes-
man-Review and George Stevenson,
the smooth railroad lobbyist together
at Spokane on Monday the goth inst.
Since that interview the Review has
not said a word editorially about state
issues or the republican state ticket.
Can it be that Stevenson put the edi-
tor Of the Review under Il hypnotic
spell?
Stevenson is veritable evil eye, -
whose malLgn influence is felt by near
~ every man with whom he comes in
contact. His interview with Governor
Mcbride at the Tacoma hotel at a crit
zeal time probably had more than any
thing else to do with McBrides loss

then the key to the political situation
in this state.
However. Dave Larimer, the staunch

ably be able TO bring the editor of the
paper out of the hypnotic state into
which he was possibly thrown ~

The testimony also showed that the

worse than useless, one Witnes claim
ing that his child, who might other

The whole trend of the inquest, SO
far, shows that the General Slocum so

as she sat on the water, was most eX-
cellently designed for a human trap.

most effectively-and with little in

price we pay in this country for that
careless, neglectful, Indifferent habit
we have of failing to enact and rigidly
enforce laws calculated to protect the
public against the greed and careless
ness and ineffciency of persons en-
gagged in rendering public service. The
regulation which would be enforced in
such country as Germany, for in
stance. with respect to an excursion
steamer like the Slocum, would have
made such disaster practically i'm
possible. These regulations would, of
course, be resisted by an American
owner and shipmaster as annoying and
irksome and expensive, but they
would render human life safer, and
we will have to come to more rigid
and effective administration of laws

they may be disagreeable and posi-
bly, may cut off some of the profits Of

a USELESS DENIAL.

The Olympian and a few lobby re-
pubicans are now denying the story
that j. D. Farrell was summoned to the
Tacoma convention by the railroad
leaders to block proposed combina-
ton between King county and the
eastern Washington followers of Gov.
Mcbride, says the ColfaX Commoner.
The Olympian says:
But we assert that J. D. Farrell was
asked to go to Tacoma by the person.
al representatives and friends of Nc
Bride, and was there asked to use his
influence to get Piles and the repre-
sentatives of the King county delega-
ton to support Mcbride. We assert
that the Mcbride following attempted
through Mr.. Farrell to get the benefit
of the railroad influence" This Mr..
Farrell declined to do. Mr.. Farrell
was opposed to Mcbride. He had
right to be. He said: I am not afraid
of a railroad commission but l am
AFRAID OF uelnaSOSQe.
AS far as The Commoner can see, it
makes little difference who summon
result was the same. The Olympian
admits that he was hostile to Mcbride.
everybody knows that he was friendly
to Mead Mcbride was beaten and
Mead was nominated. The champion
of the railroad commission was doWned
the railroad candidate was nominat
ed and Mr.. Farrell was we'll pleased
with the result.
The convention went further and
of the platform despite the fact that
the Olympian quotes Mr.. Farrell as
saying L am not afraid of a commits
sion but | am afraid of a demagogue."
What does that statement mean? 1t
means that the railroads are not
afraid of commission with Mead, or
some other railroad henchman, in the
gubernatorial chair. 1t means that
they are afraid of a commission with
Mcbride or some other independent
man holding the office of governor. 1t
means that in the eyes of the lobby
every man is a demagogue who has the
courage to advocate the right of the
people to regulate corporations; who
does not admit the right of the corpor-
ations to dominate the state.
Of course Mr.. Farrell will not be
afraid of railroad commission if
Mead is elected governor. Why
should he be? Mr.. Mead owes his NOM
ination to railroad influences. If he
wins. he will owe his election to rail-
road money and railroad votes. He
is not likely to betray the men who
have made him. He would appoint a
commission which would be satisfac-
tory to the railroads and the people

Failing in this effort. he Will call the

advise republican electors to refuse to
vote for HIM.
The Coon scandal has reached a
climax. An unsavory lot of stories re-
hectlng upon Coon'S private character
have been in circulation for over a
month. In nearly all these stories
Senator Ruth of Thurston county is
named as one Of the men who mar
rowly escaped COonS seductive Wtles
