A Strange Fact.

"Supposing a heavenly body was sit
uated so far away from the earth that
light required 1900 years to travel the
distance. And supposing an intelligent
being were situated upon this remote
body with telescope powerful enough
to see small objects here. If he were
to look now at our earth through his
telescope, would he see life on this
planet as it appeared in Christ's time
or would he see it as it existed at the
instant he looked?'
This interesting question was pro-
pounded to the Scientific American by
q man signing himself w. c. f., and
this is how the editor of that paper re-
piled to him:
"We see an object by simply turning
our eyes in its direction from US; in
order that the light which the object
is sending out in every direction may
enter the eye. Then we say we see
The light from near objects comes SO
quickly that we see instantaneously

preciable time for its passage, and

Supreme Law of Land.
Seattle, Wash, Feb. %. 1911

Seattle, Wash, FED, 20, IVA,
Ilditor Salt Lake City Tribune-In your
editorial OF the twenty second instant on
WILSON'S Responsibilities" you speak OF
the possibility of President Wilson and
the senate making q treaty allowing the
the Union, and you ask: will the con-
stitution make the treaty the supreme
law OF the land and thereby take away
from the states those powers which the
constitution itself provided should re-
main IN the states?"
Some months ago the San Francisco
Chronicle said that the federal govern
ment ought to make treaty allowing
the Japanese to own lands In any Amer
ican state, but added that the federal
government could not do that
AS Pomeroy says (speaNng OF treaty
between this country and Frnnce): III
the treaty had expressly declared that
French subjects may havo full powers
and rights to acquire and hold lands n
any part OF the United States, such COM
pact would have overrldden, In favor OF
aliens to hold real property. And sucf
compact would have executed Itself. II
would have been part of the supreme Law
OF the land"
The treaty of 1894 between the United
States and Great Britain contained JUS
such a provision as to ownership of land
notwithstanding the laws OF the particu-
lar states of the Union where the British
persons might be resident should prohibl
such ownership.
Justice Chase said, in Ware VS.. Hylton

United States supreme court: our fed
eral court establishes the power OF

any Of tho states" Quite identically I,

happens to be big without regard TO
amy rights il may have to continued
existence. Public sentiment has shown
marked change in this respect and
one is justified in the belief that the
crusade. if it may be called such, has
about run its course.
This does not mean that combina
tions in restraint of trade will not be
prosecuted, but that some discrimina-
tion will be shown in the matter of
bringing suits, Just now Attorney
General McRoynolds is settling trust
cases out Of court, and there are many
objections to his assuming the right
and power to act individually in such
matters. There would be less objection
to the commission proposed by his
predecessor in office.
On the whole, Mr. Wickersham IS ad-

thought as to the proper course to pur-
sue in restraining monopolies and bring

BACK THE PRESIDENT.

: Members of the house Of representa-
tives, who lack the patience Of Presi-
dent Wilson, have begun to speak bit
/ terly of his "watchful waiting" policy.
Representative Kahn calls 1t deadly
drifting" and seems to indicate that
I; it must soon go upon the rocks.
No one can doubt that the president
faces most difficult situation. He
has adopted an idealistic policy which
: mon of his own race and country al
most universally approve. 1t IS case,
however, where idealistic theory is in
!, conflict with the most dangerous OF
human passions. 1t reminds one OF the
gentle missionary who goes out among
the savages armed only with doctrine
and the sword of the spirit. The can
Z nibal is very apt TO reject the doctrine
of peace and good will and to eat the
missionary. In Mexico there are many
+. savages who are willing to eat Presi-
Z dent Wilson, while refusing to swallow
his doctrine.
There can be no doubt that President
{ Wilson e policy will be Of great value
in preventing the exploitation and the
robbiug of Latin-American countries by
foreign interests, and ultimately this
will have the effect OF establishing con-
stitutional governments on firm basis.
The trouble now is that Latin America
has already been exploited and robbed.
The result in Mexico is anarchy Strong
measures may yet be necessary TO end
the social aud political chaos in that
country, and il it becomes necessary to
: intervene. President Wilson probably
will regret that he lifted the embargo
I upon arms, for in that day we shall
discover that VIC have armed the con-
stitutionalists against ourselves.
Naturally this is The psychological
moment for criticism. Those who dis
agree with President Wilson are now
: eager 10 spring upon him. They see the
: difficulties confronting him aud believe
them TO be iusuperable. They regard
his policy Of watchful waiting as a
: dismal failure. They arc ready 10 rx'

WICKERSHAM ON TRUSTS

Former Attorney General George W.
Wickersham, in an address before the
American Academy of Social and Polit-
ieal Science at Philadelphia, declared
that the Sherman law is adequate to
reach any private monopoly without
further legislative aid, and advocates
the creation of "some properly consti-
tutcd administrative body with power
to disintegrate or rcadJust existing
combinations so as 10 create normal
competitive conditions"
The Sherman law is certainly strong
CT than it was generally supposed to be
at the outset of the antitrust campaign,
yet it notoriOusly failed to reach the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
companies, which are just as much mo-
nopolies as they were before they were
ordered dissolved by the supreme court
under the famous 'frule Of reason' de-
cision. The funscrambling" process in
the case of those two gigantic corpora
tions redounded to their advantage
when put into operation and apparent,
