The People! 5 Rostrum


Having assumed the above, it natur-
ally follows that when the earth en-
countered the tail of Halley's comet on
the 18th inst, the attraction of the
earth carried the tall along the earth's
orbit for some distance. This would
account for a part of the comets tail
being visible in the east after the earth
had passed a line from the sun, through
the head of the comet.
1t would also account for the difficulty
of locating the comet for a few days
and its apparent loss of tail, as any
view of the head would necessarily be
through millions of miles of the tail,
and hence the head, If visible at all,
would be dimmed, and no tail would be
visible, inasmuch as we would be with
in it.
The spectrums or bands of light seen
across the sun by some observers could
be due to the same cause, as the sun
would also be seen through a consid-
cradle part of the tail for a short time.
After a few days the comet should be

m STATEMENT made on April 30 by an Illinois assemblyman
~ that he had received a bride of $1,000 to vote for the cleo
ton of Senator Lorimer in the Legislature this year
was followed by the confessions of two other assemblymen that
they had been paid 81 ZOO each for their votes. In the Senate last
week Mr.. Lommer made a long address denying the charge and ask
ing for an investigation. Immediately following this denial comes
a confession by an Illinois senator that he had sold his vote in
Iorimers behalf for $1,000. Senatorial votes are always quoted
higher in price than the votes of assembymen The outlook at the
Illinois State capital is for additional confessions, and certainly
enough to show that Lorimers election was a matter of barter and
sale. This expose in Illinois is well timed for other States that are
soon to choose United States senators. 1t will serve to sharpen the
public attention as to the methods by which men may seek TO win
legislative elections.

New Theory of Comets Antics.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Allow me to submit h following,
which seems to be a possible or even
probable explanation of all the various
and conflicting views and statements
relative to the behavior of Halley's
comet during the past week.
Assumed: First-That the tail of a
comet Is composed of material sub
stances, such as gases, and of such
character that its intermixture with the
outer layers of our atmosphere would
have no visible effect on the earth.
Second-That the material of the tail
is repealed by the sun, but attracted by
the head Of the comet, and by any OF
the solar planets near which 1t may
pass.

TIE OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

NV o matter how the average citizen observes Memorial Day ne
I'M feels it's spirit and sympathizes with its patriotic object. IL
is the same on the Fourth of July. On that day thousands Oh
people leave the city or do not actively engage IN the celeprauoh,
but the anniversary appeals TO them as strongly as tt others u 40
Few people attend the formal services on the Fourth OF July, put
who shall say that the many who do not attend take o interest III
them? So. on Memorial Day, all the patriotic feeling in our city, III
the appreciation Of the soldiers of the Civil War, are no connneo u
those who are active participants in the public celebration. me
opportunity of q holiday comes not too often to q busy and marc,
working people such as ours, and todays holiday occurs at ue
fairest season of the year, when all nature beckons man TO go ABROAD
and recreate himself. That many of the population should thus take
advantage of the day and that outdoor sports should be INDUCED III
is only natural. 1t is no reproach to a peoples patriotism. Let
occasion arise and that feeling will blaze forth as 1t did In 1861,
when Fort Sumter was fired upon.

To- ORMER Governor Murphy, in his statement following the
Endorsement of his senatorial candidacy by the Essex County
Republican Committee, paid this personal tribute to Senator
John Kean: Senator Kean, whose term will soon expire, has served
the State ably and efficiently; more so, l think, than is generally
recognized" AS Senator Kean is a candidate for reelection this
testimony to his senatorial worth by a competitor for the senatorship
is candid. 1t also gives Mr.. Murphys idea as to what constitutes
able and efficient service in the United States Senate for the state
and nation. Mr.. Murphy in everything he writes and says has the
happy faculty of making himself plainly understood. He doesn't
deal in generalihes. In the few words quoted he expresses his ideal
of the senatorial office and of senatorial duty. He merely points to
Senator John Kean.

our PREPAREDNESS EOR MYAsIONS.

MI r. CARNEGIES ideas of a countrys preparedness for war
NWll are curiously at variance with those of military experts
and statesmen. Mr.. Carnegie says the United States is the
best prepared of all the nations and is absolutely invincible. Enemies
might land on the coast and march a hundred miles inland, "there
to meet humiliation at the hands of our trained citizen armies
meaning the National Guard and kindred organizations. After
there shall be created a force of a million expert rifemen this kind
of talk will not be buncombe. just now it is. The most difficult
task for an enemy would be to land an army on any part of our
coast and get it safely away again. But on land a thoroughly
trained and equipped European army of 100000 men could penetrate.
the country for hundreds of miles and make havoc. As long. how
ever, as we maintain an effcieE< navy it would be a crazy enterprise
for any power to attempt to land an army, and none will ever at
tempt it.

PUBLICITY IN THE BALLINGER CASE.

oA HE windup of the Ballinger investigation was an able and
merciess array by counsel of the testimony against Ballinger,
and an assertive and abusive address by Ballingers counsel,
who interlarded his discourse with an attack upon the newspapers
generally, not even exempting the papers in sympathy with his
client. The reports of the investigation were sent out by the Associ-
ated Press, which is strictly impartial, since it serves all classes OF
newspapers. But evidently what Ballingers counsel resented was
publicity. He and his client would have been 81 much better pleased
if IT had been a star-chamber investigation, with reporters excluded.
AS it was, the people, aided by the newspapers, are enabled to read
and sit the evidence and reach their own conclusions independent of
the committee. 1t matters little now that the committee will white
wash Ballinger. The public Judgment has been given. And that's
what hurts.

a GREAT CONQUEST OF TIE AIR.

IT S it not marvellous, incredible, when you come to think OF 1T, that
a man IN a frMl machine should fly more than 100 miles, over
hill and dale, and river and mountain top, from Albany to New
York, and in q matter of three hours? The conquest of the air by
man has always seemed a fantasy to the average person. Even
the feats of the Wright brothers and the exploits of French and
American ayiators have not availed to move the doubt in peoples
minds of the ability of man to overcome the force OF grav1tatlon,
like the bird, and navigate the ambient cir. But the performance by
Curtiss yesterday goes far to dissipate the doubt. What Curdss
has done other m can do, and do better, with improved faciEt
ties. If a journey between New York and Albany can be made
through the air, then it follows that a journey from New York to
Chicago is feasible, or even a journey from New York to San Fran
cisco. And why not an aerial trip across the Atlantic? With the
wonderful progress already made in aviation, how soon will 1T be
when the airship will become an ordinary utility He the motorcar
or trolley? No doubt within the present generation, In which,
indeed, we may witness great battles by fleets of airships.
