Mr.. Sim mons's Action.

a very interesting development in con-
necton with the Presidents announce
ment was the disclosure that a letter con-
tanning almost identical arguments had
been sent out by T.. G. Simmons. president
of the Simmons Hardware Company of st.
Louis. to whom Mr.. Wilson offered a place
on the Federal Reserve Board last week
Mr.. Simmons likewise argued that the
immediate adjournment of Congress was
vital necessity for the business world
end urged his correspondents to write to
members Of Congress and Administratio
officials appealing for the cessation OF the
Iawmaking.
II was said that the authorship OF the
simmons letter had nothing to do with
the authors failure to accept member
ship on the reserve board.
In giving out the Ahnelt letters for
publication the President made a strong
expression of his belief that the depression
~ business Il artificially created. He de-
,'ared there is now the normal amount OF
new business. that business Is growing
normally and something more. He said
that TO his mind nothing more unwhole-
some could happen to business than the
holding up of the antitrust bills, which
would force business men to keep guess
ing for another six or eight months as
% the rules on which they must work in
the future.
The Presidents action to-day is very
similar to the one he made against the
lobby when there we're threats OF holding
m parts of the tariff programme. In
hat case. as now, the President virtually
saised the cry OF conspiracy.

The Sun a Poor Clock

why is a sun dial?'
A mean time clock, that is,
clock regulated to show average
time, is based on the ideu of tn.
sun being on the equator ana
moving at precisely with the real
average rate of the true sun in
its apparent orbit-the real orbit
of the earth. But astronomers
with accurate instruments do not
secure absolute time from the
transits of the huge sun across
their meridian. but with far more
accuracy by observing transits ef
minute needle points, the images
of stars across spider threads in
the focal planes Of their transit
telescopes.
The sun never reaches the zen
it'll IN the United States. But,
through great Spsmical causes.
these maxima as given above are
themselves subjected to secular
changes. All of which ought to
make 1t apparent that sun dials
are practically useless.

sailed from Mexico with the in

nothing came of it. Twenty

1t would have been we'll for
Spain had she never bothered

The Platform or the President
Editorial Correspondence of The Georgian

WANTS. No demand more SOW
ereign and undemocratic has
been made from a dominating ex-
ecutive upon a complaisant and
obedient Congress.
1t is exactly what the Roman
dictators asked in the crumbling
days of Rome-an ungrudging
grant of unlimited power.
When Oscar Underwood, chosen
leader of the Democratic Con-
gress; Claude Kitchin, the Dem
ocratic leader slated to succeed
him; Doremus, chairman of the
Democratic campaign committee,
and Champ Clark, the great
Democratic Speaker of the House
of Representatives, stand up to
put themselves on record for the
Democratic platform and the
Democratic vote, against the dra-
matte and arrogant Executive de-
mand, there is bound to come a
reckoning at the polls for these
meek men, chosen to be represen-
tatives of the people, who have no
will or judgment Of their own,
but follow blindly the edict of the
one man who represents the 9TH
er branch Of the Government.
In the Reign of the Stuarts.
In the early reign Of the Eng
fish Stuarts it was the custom
that a counselor impeached by
the Commons could secure abso-
luton from the ling and fling
into the face of his accusers the
imperial pardon Of his sovereign.
Later in the reign 1t was estab-
lished in limitation OF the mon
archy that a counselor accused
by the Commons could find no
refuge in imperial absolution, but
must stand or fall upon the mer-
its of his case.
And so, when the great COM
mons of the people in November
shall present their imp achment
charges against the Representa-
tives who have repudiated their
platform and the peoples will, no
imperial pardon-no ukase from
the autocrat Of the White House
will serve them in this judg-
ment hour.
They must stand or fall upon
the record they have made of
representative loyalty and repre-
sentative liberty.

TT was 1913 years ago that the
great Magellan discovered the
Gem of the Southern Seas"
the Philippines.
Hurt by the narrowness and
ingratitude of the King of Portu-
gal, whose subject he was, Ma
gellan turned to the King of
Spain. by whom he was sent out
on the epoch making voyage.
Starting from Spain in August,
1919, in November of the follow
ing year Can even century be-
fore the Mayflower came to an
Choir in Plymouth harbor), Ma
gellan negotiated the strait that
has ever since borne his name,
and, crossing the mighty Pacific,
sighted the Philippines in March,
1921. He landed upon the little
island of Mactan, off the coast Of
Zebu, where in a hand-to- hand
encounter with the natives he
was killed April 81.
The great navigator was dead,
but his good ship, the Victoria"
in September, 1922, three years
from the time she set out on her
memorable voyage, reached Spain
and passed into immortality as
the first vessel to circumnavigate
the globe.

Ian landed on the island of Mac
tan, FIVE ships with 300 men

A.-The sun is worse than a

a timekeeper, and for two accu-
rately known reasons:
First-The orbit OF the earth
around the sun is not circle,
but an ellipse, and the sun is not
in the center of it. but to one side,
at a distance Of 1,557.149 miles.
Therefore, the earth travels fast
er when nearest to the sun and
slower when most distant. This
renders sun clocks useless for
any scientific purpose.
Second-The sun is always in
the plane of the orbit of the
earth. but this plane is % liz de-
grees from that of the equator,

one and are not as if each acted
