THE MINOR PLANETS.
Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The visibility of the p1anetoid
Vesta during September and October (par-
ticularly upon October 26) brings 10 mind
that there are other planets besides Mer-
curry. Venus. the Earth. Mars. Jupiter.
Saturn. Uranus and Neptune.
There exist. indeed. some six hundred
known so-called minor planets. which re-
volve around our sun on orbits mostly be-
tween Mars and Jupiter. and vary in dis
lance from as near as 100000 miles TO
our earth to as far as 400. 900. 900 miles
from our sun. The first of these minor
planets was discovered on January I. 1901.
and, taken altogether. the six hundred or
so discovered planetoids would not equal
in weight our moon. which is herself
equal to only Isl of the mass OF our earth
These asteroids vary in their diameters
from perhaps FIVE hundred 10 less than
twenty miles. They do not. in all proba-
bility. possess any atmosphere. and owe
their existence perhaps to the products OF
some developing planet which was shat
tered or disintegrated in it's orbit between
Mars and Jupiter.

subject TO the summons of the govern
ment for military duty at any time.
When they went on strike as railroad
hands, therefore, and threatened TO
paralyze traffic and industry, Mr. BRAND
simply summoned them TO the service of
the government as soldiers, and in that
capacity set them to work on the very
railroads which they had deserted and
had endeavored TO disable. 1t was a
shrewd move. but. as we observed at the
time, il was somewhat audaciouS and
depended upon the acquiescence of the
strikers themselves. If they had gener-
ally refused or ignored the summons the
government would have been placed in
an awkward predicament. 1t would have
had to choose between acqu1escing in the
mutinous flouting of its order, which
would have been tantamount to suicide,
or it would have had to impose the
penalty of mutfny and to have-sent thou
sands of men TO jail.
The possibility that such dilemma
NAV sometimes arise is suggested by Mr..
Brands own words in this case. He has
declared this strike to have been chiefly
political ia purpose and TO have aimed
at the subversion of the government, or
its subordination TO the dictates of Or
ganized labor. Granted that that char
acteriZation is true, as it probably is.
what then? When men are striking
against the government they are not
likely long to obey the government, and
when they realize that the military con-
scription law is an obstacle to the fulfil
ment of their designs against the gov
eminent they 'are likely TO mark that
law for defiance and violation. The gov
ernment's device is q two-edged sword.
It NAV cut in the direction of discourag-
ing strikes in great industries; but It
may also cut in the direction Of provok-
ing mutiny in the military establishment.

WETIaTAN'S FAILURE.

From the outset the chance that Well
mans airship would get across the
ocean was almost infnitesimal, and his
failure furnishes not the slightest rea-
son for surprise. Had the America trav-
elled at the rate of forty miles an hour.
as Wellman hoped it might, 1t should
have been approaching Europe at the
end of three days. Instead it was scarce
ly four hundred miles from the start
ing point and was far to the south of
its proper course. The airship was in
such a plight at that time that but for
the singularly fortunate proximity Of a
steamer the whole company would prob
ably have lost their lives and the cir
cumstances of their fate might have re-
manned mystery forever. The men
whom the America carried and their
families have reason to be profoundly
grateful that the natural consequences OF
such folly were averted by the arduouS
efforts Of Captain Downs and the res
cuers aboard the Trent.
One of the most serious questions
raised by this business relates TO the
moral responsibility of the newspapers
which for advertising purposes encOur-
aged Nellman 10 incur risks so accu-
rately foreseen. If, as result of their
recklessness, those who embarked on
the America had persisted the jour
mails which promoted the venture would
have incurred the sharpest cOndemna-
ton. They are not less blameworthy
because of the rescue in which they bad
no part.

POINTERS FOR THE POLICE.

bitterly because the police present all

the band but utterly incapable of under
standing the speaker, played tag and
otherwise created a rumpus which made

ton. however. Political meetings are

DIRECT PRIMARY IN ACTION
Salient Points Of the Hughes Plan Out
lined at Correspondent' S Request.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: AS a rule Republican voters are
more intelligent and better informed than
others. Yet find among them many who
do not fully understand Just what direct
nominations mean, and il occurs to me
that an exposition OF the methods proposed
whereby the people can escape from the
domination of the bosses. with their pre-
pared states. will be of service at this time
when the Democrats propose to steal our
thunder.
VIII you kindly make a statement en-
bodying all the points covered by the rec
concentration of Governor Hughes. the
great apostle of direct nominations?
A LINCOLN VOTER
New York. Oct 13, 1910.
Governor Hughes's plan did away with
conventions and provided for the nomi-
nation of candidates, instead of the Sc
lection of delegates to conventions. at
the party primaries. That is to saw. for
example. instead of deciding at a pri-
mary who should go 10 Saratoga and
select a candidate for Governor the
party voters would select the candidate
for Governor themselves directly The
W ne NQleu Oh ulItCliy at the prl-
mary were to be determined thus: The
party committees were to select a
ticket. If there were any contestants
for nomination to the various offices
they were to be named Us petition All
those named by petition or by the partY
committee were to go upon a ballot
very similar to the ballot which is voted
at the general election. except that the
candidates names were not to he ar
ranged in columns with respect to tho
source OF their nominations. like the
party columns on the official ballot, but
according to the offices for which they
sought nomination, as in the Massa-
chusetts ballot on the same ballot
would appear the names or the candi-
dates for the various party committees.
all named by petition. Thus at pri-
maries the party voters would choose
the members of the party committees
and do the work now done by conven-
tons in nominating the party's candi-
dates for office. Governor Hughes at
first proposed to make the system apply
TO all offices in the state. AtterWard II
was agreed that the experiment should
