THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

As was expected. the senate passed
the ship subsidy bill by a big majority
composed entirely OF Republicans.
Among those who voted for this grab
that win take something like $40, coo. 600
out OF The pockets of the people and
give it TO the rich shipbuilding corpora
tions, were Senators Smoot and Suth-
erland. These gentlemen may have
some difficulty in explaining to their
constituents just why they voted for
this lOoting Of the national treasury.
They viii probably say that the
measure was a party one and that, as
good Republicans, they were bound to
support it. We have never heard any
body question the Republicapism Of
Burkett Of Nebraska, Dolliver of Iowa,
Spooner and LaFoIlette of Wisconsin
or Warner of Missouri. These senators
Joined with the Democrats in voting
against the bill. They look upon it as
a swindle and steal; they believe it is
a plan to further enrich a few people
at the expense of the many; they can
see no good in It.
The subsidy bill will prove the IN
doing Of more than one senator. and it
AID other things may bring about the
downfall of Utah's present representa-
tives in the upper house. There is no
excuse for putting the subsidy act on
the national statutes. It would be
viewed with suspicion If for no other
reason than that its principal advo-
Gates have deliberately attempted to
deceive the people regarding the neces-
sity for it, they have not hesitated to
resort to any claptrap to win favor.
Witness Gallinger's statement that
western senators should vote for the
subsidy grab because eastern senators
were willing that the money received
from the sale Of public lands in the
west should be loaned to the west for
irrigation works. GalIinger even tried
to make IL appear that the irrigation
money was an outright donation.
The subsidy bill is not yet law, how
ever. 1t will have some hard shedding
in the house. This not because the Re
publican majority has any conscien-
tious scruples whatever on the subject
but because there is an election of rep
resentatives this year. The house
members viii hardly dare, in the face
of this fact, to adopt the subsidy bill
fact for which the nation has reason
to feel profoundly thankful

wHY NOT INCLUDE coRTELYoUq

Recommendations by the trustees of
the New York Life company that suit
be brought to recover the S14S. 7O2 paid
10 the Republican national committee,
recall particularly the campaign of 1900.
1t will be remembered that Judge Par
ker, the Democratic nominee, charged
the Republicans were holding up the
corporations for funds with which TO
carry the election. President Roose-
welt and Chairman Cortelyou both de-
hied the charge with a great show of
virtuous indignation, and Roosevelt
scored Judge Parker in vitriolic terms
Tor making charges he could not prove.
Since the testimony of Mccall and
Perkins, who paid these contributions
out Of policy holders money and con-
ceaied the fact on the company's books
by false entries, there has been no ex-
planattOn from either Roosevelt or Cor
telyou, although both owe Judge Parker
apologies. Now the trustees recon-
mend suit for recovery, but suggest
that the trustees who paid the money
be the defendants of the suit. Primar-
why not include Cortelyou and the Re
publican national committee in the
suits? 1t is known they got the "di-
verted" funds and as receivers of goods
taken ilegally-nOt to say stolen-from
the poEcy-holders, it ought to be plain
that they are really the ones who
should De made to disgOrge.
Il is not TO be expected that the trUs-
tees Of the insurance company who are
now in control Will venture to bring in
Cortelyou as a party defendant, but
as a matter Of simple right he is quite
as culpable for taking the money as
Mccall and Perkins were for giving it
to him, particularly as he was not man
enough to confess the truth when he
was accused Of getting the donation.

MEw-oLD ASTRONOMY.

If the Zetetics are right theL the as
tronomers are all wrong and a cOmpre-
hensive revision Of the textbooks viii
be necessary at once. The Zetetics, So
called from "zeteo," to search out, are
members of a new British cult. They
have some revolutionary ideas on the
subject of astronomy. For instance,
they are satisfied the world is fat, not
round
The fact that the hull Of a vessel is
first to disappear from the view Of the
watcher is not, in their opinion, any
proof. They do not, however, explain
how it is possible, If the earth is fat, to
start east or west from Salt Lake and,
travelling continuously in the same di-
rection. ultimately arrive at the place
of beginning. Periodical eclipses of the
moon are not, say the Zetetics. proof
that the world is round. the curved
shadow Of the earth on the moon being
merely a sort OF optical illusion
Another curious belief is that the sun
moves around the earth, instead of the
earth around the sun. In this they agree
with the old colored preacher, John Jas
per. who said The sun do move" One
of the Zetetic textbooks declares that
the sun travels some $4,000 miles at the
equator above the perfectly fat and alb
soluteIy stationary earth. According to
this theory the sun merely goes forward
and backward in a straight line. In
stead Of setting, it merely disappears
from our sight when night comes on.
The Zetetics insist that it is ridiculous
to say the sun is 93,O0O,O00 miles from
! the earth. It is, as a matter Of fact, If
their theory is correct, only few hum
dred miles away. And instead Of being
/ extremely hot, so hot that all the coal
/ I'm the world would only maintain 1t at
/ its commonly estimated heat for the
fraction of a second, it is comparative
/ ~ cool.
! The sun is so small, the Zetetics think,
as TO be hardly worth considering. 1t
/ is only thirty miles in diameter, or a
little more than ninety miles in circum-
! ference. All this is very interesting
/ providing you care for that sort OF
| foolishness. For ourselves, we prefer
to continue believing the earth is round
! that the sun does not move and the
world not stationary. People must be
hard pressed for something with which
to occupy their minds when they or
ganize societies as that of the Zetetics
