Suppose. for instance. wea say that the very
big stars have a small velocity. that the
small stars have a greater velocity. and that
star diminishes in size its velocity may
increase. The very big white stars of Glass 0
have this small velocity. and only very big
masses can attain their aspect. Now. in the
next older class, Class l. will be a number of
stars which are of large mass and small
velocity. and OF them will be on their
way to attain whiteness and brightness, and
some, having passed that stage, will be on
their way back to redness and will be con-

Speed Up the Fund!

If Washington is to accept its
chance for practical home saving
charity it must speed up its contribu
tions to the fourteen opportunities
fund, which closes Christmas morn
ing. At present the fund is tagging.
Several thousand dollars are needed
to meet the full requirements of the
list. Never before has the capital
failed to honor this draft upon its
purse, and it must be believed that it
will subscribe to the last dollar now.
The only question is whether it will
do it in time to make this, in truth,
a Christmas gift to the deserving
poor of the city.
America has subscribed most gen
erously to funds for the succor Of
those stricken by the war in foreign
lands, pouring millions upon millions
Of dollars into France, Belgium, Ser
bia, Armenia, Poland and other parts
of the ravaged world. This was noble
performance. But after all, charity
does begin at home, and here are op-
portunities for practical giving right
in Washington to be met simply out
of the spare change of the people, to-
falling a sum that in comparison with
the gifts to the foreign charities is
but the merest pittance. If all these
opportunities are grasped-and they
surely will be if Washington shows
the Christmas spirit it has always
manifested in the past-families will
be kept together and homes will be
saved, and that is the best of all
charities.

The Horses Christmas Dinner.

For all the advance the automobiles
have made, for all the numbers of
motor trucks that are in service, the
horse has not been displaced as mans
most faithful servant among the ami
mails. Horses are still at work doing
heavy tasks of hauling, sliding on the
slippery streets in winter, straining
under big loads in heat of summer,
patiently and efficiently doing their
allotted tasks without complaint and
to the utmost of their ability. Now
it is proposed, as for a number of
years past, to give the work horses
of Washington a good square meal
on Christmas. Who can say that they
do not appreciate it in the spirit of
its provisioni Certainly many of
them need it. There are scores, per
haps hundreds, Of horses working in
Washington that are underfed nor
mally, a. their owners arc unable to
provide fodder sufficiently for them.

The Railroads.

The railroad question is now in con-
ference. The conference committee
VIII sit during the congressional re-
cess-two weeks. There are some
knptty points in dispute between
House and Senate, but in that time
an agreement should be reached
An agreement is hoped for, as il
also its prompt acceptance by Con
gress. The question is one of great
rational concern. Railroad transpor-
tation affects the whole country. All
sections are interested in it. All want
Il to be conducted profitably
. Discussion of the problem took a
wide range in both House and Sen
ate. and developed some sharp differ
ences of opinion. The measure and
form Of government supervision, the
accountability of trainmen to the
public, and other matters engaged
close attention.
Sentiment in favor of the return
of the properties to their owners was
however, overwhelming And that is
warrant for much congratulation. II
the policy of government ownership
and operation is to be adopted, the
people must give the order at the
polls.
An appeal of that kind will be made
regardless of the legislation this Con
gress may enact. Notice has, in eff
feet, been given. An organization i:

to be observed that Mr.. Bryan is
again figuring in presidential gossip,
as likely to be either himself the
democratic candidate next year, or
the controlling influence in the nam
ing of the man.
The Presidents attitude in the
premises is as yet underlined. A mes
sage had been expected, but it did
not come. Both House and Senate
acted without suggestion or recon-
mendation from him. Whether he
will announce his views before the
conference committee concludes its
labers is a question. He may reserve
his fire until Congress lays a bill upon
his table, and then sign it without
extended comment, or veto it with
comment covering the whole case.

Berkman and Goldman.

Upon departing, berKman ana
Goldman made the conventional ges-
ture and announcement: eve go, but
we return" But they will not re-
turn. They have had their day
much too long a day-in America.
They should have been deported
years ago. 1t is inconceivable that
such creatures will ever be tolerated
in this country again. We are, at last,
con to" their kind, and conditions
are such that the gates must be shut
against them.
Of what force will they be in Rus
sia, assuming that their destination
is Russia! They are at most but
soap-box orators and agitators of that
type. Neither has ever had to do
with practical affairs. They came to
America young, and when not in
prison have spent their time princi-
pally with discontented 1oafers and
wastrels. They have been widely ad-
vertised, but not in connection with
any contribution to constructive work
of any sort.
Now, in Russia, the need is of men
and women of constructive ability;
and there is a great scarcity. The
soap-box orators and other agitators
have done their stunt. They have
overturned the government, and either
killed or banished the former despots.
But a new government must be es-
tablished, and considerable difficulty
is being encountered by those en-
gagged in the effort. As yet only a
ramshackle arrangement has been
made. Unless something better and
much more substantial can be devised,
the condition of the Russian people
will inevitably grow worse.
OF what use, then, at this time
viii mere mouths be in Russiai And
these two mouths are foreign. Berk-
man and Goldman as agitators have
learned their trade outside of Russia.
and under conditions so different
from any Russia has ever known it
will be very difficult if not impos-
sible for them to find employment in
their new environment. And their
mouths are all they have to offer.
1t will be of interest, therefore, if
any intelligence comes back about
them, to note the character Of their
reception in Russia, and what, if any
thing, they are set to do. Of course,
they will attempt the martyr role.
But there are so many martyrs-pro-
fessional martyrs-among the Rus
sian reds, the Immigrant article can
not hope for the center of the stage.
Very likely, in deporting these two
persons this government has reduced
them to impotency. They are no
longer a menace here, and never will
be again, while in Russia they can be
of no service to those at present in
power, and will have to scuttle with
the rest whenever the change comes
which will bring in a more intelli.
gent and orderly procedure.

Subscription Rate by Mail
No Time for Baking.

In their present attitude the coal
operators who are objecting to the
plan for settling the issues with the
miners are putting themselves IN a
:. danrerous position. 1t may be ex-
r. actlv true that they were not consult
ed regarding the final terms of the
agreement effected between the At
p torncv General and the miners lead
ers. whereby the strike was ended
and mining was resumed. Possibly
, they were ignored in that last con-
z ference at indianapolis, which yield
ed a decision to summon board OF
three adjusters with power to settle
disputed questions. But it must be
borne in mind that at some stage OF
the case there must be an arbltra-
ton or settlement. No provisional
agreement looking to the immediate
resumption of work on the basis of
horizontal wage increase could posi-
bly stand as the final definition of
relations.
= The operators contend that the
present board of three under the
Palmer Lewis agreement has full
power TO fix coal prices, wages and
diferentials and to determine details
of working conditions. Somebody
must do this, and the only point is
whether the board of three now pro-
vided for can accomplish the task.
The operators say that these ques-
tons of differentials and working
conditions "are so involved and com
: plieated that a complete review, in
/. order TO make an intelligent decision,
would be an interminable task" This
(; would suggest impossibility, which
cannot be conceded. If the matter is
so complex it must assuredly not be
left inehoate, to cause future trouble.
The only question is whether board
of three can handle it.
1t is further alleged by the coal
operators that the findings of. the
-Palmer-Lewis agreement commission
may be made retroactive. At some
stage of the ease this issue must be
met and il might as well be met now.
: The public looks to this present COM
mission confidently as a fair board to
settle questions in dispute, not mere
" to insure present coal production,
but to lessen the likelihood of future
disturbances If the commission Is
not large enough to handle the ques-
y tion it should be expanded. A belief,
= however, generally prevails that a
small board can work more effectively
:. on such a question than large one.
There are, after all, but three inter
: ests involved, those of the miners,
: those of the operators and those of
the public, and they are all repre-
. sented on the present commission.
The operators cannot possibly re-
pudiate this arrangement without as
Stunning full responsibility for any
disastrous consequences that may
come from renewal of the strike
or refusal to comply with the terms
agreed upon by the commission. If
the award is unjust to the miners, or
TO the operators, or to the public, it
will be so recognized and the respon-
sibility for that will rest upon the
members of the board themselves.
