SPEED OF SOLAR SYSTEM.

Spectroscopic studies and sky OBJ

great migration across the sky toward
point between the consultations of
Hercules and Lyra. Lyra is the con-
stellation now at the zenith, identi-
fled by the bright, blush star Vega.
Hercules is an Irregular group to the
west of Lyra, about one-quarter of
the way to the horizon. The speed
with which we are travelling in that
direction Is IL miles a second The
velocity Of an artillery shell Is about
5000 feet second; that of the sun

No more damaging answer could

American fears to publicly define his

was not that Foster feared misrepre-

was because he knew the press would
faithfully report what he said, and
that he dare not face the public after
giving utterance to such sentiments

FALSE STRIKE FIGURES.
(Wan Street JournaD

When Fitzpatrick admits to tn,
United States senate committee tina,
ne does not control, under his strike
orders, more than 20 per cent of the
steel workers, he of course gives
away the entire claim to representa-
tion OF all the workers in that trade.
But there Is dangerous fallacy of
strike arithmetic which careless
newspaper writer's do not recognize.
The result is to alarm the public
reedlessly by the admission OF false
claim.
On Fitzpatrick's own showing less
than 100000 workers have been
unionized, and we may be sure that
even this number Ia grossly exagger-
ated. 1t is fairly well known In labor
circles that there were less than &c.
BOO workers included in the "9S per
cent vote to strike, which would be
barely 8 per cent Of the entire trade.
The number Of strikers claimed else
where has been placed as high as
$4,000. Here Is where the fallacy |
'omes In. The agitators are counting |
Iot merely the actual strikers but the
lumber Of men thrown out Of en-
loyment by the strike.

WALLACE REGRETS LOSING A
POPULAR PASTOR.

1t will be admitted that judged by
the number OF regular attendants at
religious services, Wallace can not
claim high rank as a church town;
yet that would not be fair basis up
on which to estimate the religious
sentiment and the interest in religious
work. Evidence that there is a wide
spread interest in religious activity
and a recognition and appreciation OF
sincere, unpretentious and practical
Christian work is presented in an un-
mistakable manner through the gen.
eral expressions OF regret following
the announcement a few weeks ago
that Rev. Carl II. Veazie, pastor of the
Congregational church, had accepted
the pastorate OF Seattle church and
would leave Wallace about the first of
November, These expressions are not
confined to his parishioners, for Mr..
Veazie has made his influence felt far
beyond the limits of his immediate
church. Every activity that had for
its purpose the betterment of the
community received his earnest sup
port. He has a natural fondness for
boys and it was Mr.. Veazie who or
ganized the first troop of Boy Scouts,
from which has grown the large coun-
ty organization. Ii he had done moth
ing else in Wallace. the influence he
has had upon the boys Of this city in

lasting gratitude. But he did more.
During the war he preached the gos-

numerous other calls to help win the

SENATOR THOMAS UNMOvED BY
PARTISAN APPEAL.

There are not many outspoken op-
: ponents of the league of nations
among the democrats in the senate,
and these few are being subjected to
strong pressure from the democratic
organizations in their home states to
abandon their positions taken through
a high sense of public duty and sup
port the league as a matter of politi-
cal expediency. These politicians at
nome seem to be unable to under
stand the higher obligation that rests
upon senator than that which binds
him to his party, and that when a
question arises which involves a
choice between his obligation to par
ty and country, no man worthy OF
occupying a seat In the senate hesi-
tates; he is for his country first Thus
when the democratic committee of
Colorado, through its chairman, ap- {
peelled to Senator Thomas democrat Il
ic senator from that state, to vote for
the ratification of the treaty and lea =
que covenant without amendment or n
reservation, the senator reminded the n
committee that partisan lines vanish n

that he would not barter his vote as .,

HE SAVED HIS SOUL.

fIhere was cartoon in LondoI

none more truthful on impressive has

folly in not breaking his faith and
letting the Huns use his land as a
base OF attack upon France and Eng

$50, you see. you've lost every
thing!"
But not my SOUL"
1t was only the fancy of a faclle ar
tist but it was the very truth of
everlasting history. BY his refusal of
the German demand, King Albert
brought upon himself and upon his
country such woe and tragedy as no
other sovereign and nation have ever
known. But he saved his integrity.
his self-respect, his honor; in a word
mis- soul. Saving his own soul, he
saved the soul of Belgium. Saving
the soul Of Belgium, he saved the soul
OF Europe, of the world. 1t is an old
story, though because of dts truth 1t
must never grow outworn, that
through the stubborn self-sacrifice of
Liege the Huns were checked Just
long enough to give France time to
meet them; that the first levies of
France and England's "contemptible
little army" in turn checked them
Just long enough to give both those
countries time to rally all their
strength; and that finally those coun-
lrles at awful cost held the line of

Farmers Institute Plans

The committee to arrange for the
annual farmers institute, to be held
under the auspices Of the Merchants
Association, was announced at Mon
day nights meeting, when Vice Presi-
dent Balderston, presided. They in
clude George B. Horner, William
Hunt, C. c. B. John, Fred j. Mathews
John S. Cray, Theodore G. Kitchin
and Thomas R. Hunt. Mayor Bal
derston was previously made chair
man of the committee by President
Finger, with power to name the rest
of the committee. The usual lunch
con will be provided for visitors.
The Merchants informally discuss
ed number of affairs, including the
possible municipal ownership of the
local public utilities, which are the
electric light, gas and water compan-
1es. 1t was generally agreed that
the city ought to own the water plant
if any of the utilities, not because of
any complaint about the company's
charges or service, but because it is
the one real necessity, and should
sewers be installed some of these
days, additional supplies will be
needed.
