TELESCOPE EXPLORES HEAVENS,
Instrument at Lick Observatory Me-
chanical Marvel

The ingenious and delicate mechan-
ism of the great 36-inch telescope in
Lick observatory is a monument to hui
man ingenuity and the power OF the
mind of man. An enormous number OF
wheels. gears and complicated arrange.
ments of all kinds is necessary to man
ipulate a telescope of this size-which,
III addition to it's great powers of mag
nihcation must also be capable of be-
ing swung to and fro with the merest
touch, in order TO allow the observer to
follow the movements of the heaven
" bodies, as they cross the sky"
There are two types of telescope now
in use among astronomers the ordl-
nary telescope on giant scale and the
reflector telescope" in which the
lightrays are not directly perceived by
the eye through the eye-piece, but are
first caught in huge mirror, and then
reflected to the yepiece.
Large telescopes such as this, can
not be used by every one. The reason
for this is that they take IN so
small a part of the heavens that the
average man could not find" any given
spot BY means of the big telescope,
and hence finders" or small teles
copes, are first of all utilized; and
when the right locality is found, then
the giant telescope is adjusted to that
spot.
The enormous distances which can
be reached by the telescopes such as
this can hardly be realized. Light, as
is well known, travels at the incredible
speed of 10000 miles second; the
number OF miles which light would
travel in one year can, therefore, be
This distance is called a
slight year" and this is the unit of as
Economical measurement Stars are
said to be so many light years dis
tant. Some stars are SO remote that
they are 800 or 400 light years away!
The interested reader can readily cal
culate for himself how many miles this
would be. Yet, incredible as it may
seem, a great deal of actual knowledge
is possessed rs to the composition, heat
and general characteristics of these re-
mote heavenly bodies. The mind of
man has bridged these vast distances
of space though his body has never
left the surface of our planet Here.

ELECTION IN OCTOBER
To Choose New National Assembly IN
less Another Crisis Arises.

Vienna. Aug. Sit is now settled
that elections for a new national as
sembly will be held the first week in
October. Unless another crisis should
arise, which is most unlikely in view
of the present internal situation, the
temporary cabinet that took Office last
week, will continue in power and carry
out the non partisan program agreed
upon at its creation.
The wealth levy and constitutional
reform, on which came the deadlock
that resulted In the downfall of the
Renner ministry still occupy the lead
ing place as issues, It was agreed
upon that their consideration should
continue and an effort be made to
reach compromise that will permit
of passage in some form. The social
democrats and the Christian socialists
supported by the big German party,
are so far apart, however, that an ac-
ceptable compromise of a workable
character is regarded as unlikely.
The social democrats are unyielding
in their insistence upon a compulsory
fortune contribution that shall place
the burden of the taxation upon
wealth, land and otherwise, while the
conservative parties, united in this, de-
clare that so radical a measure as
that proposed shall never become law
AZ present all parties are playing
for position in the coming campaign
and attempting to throw the burden
of blame for the failure OF the assem-
blv to enact. any of the vital measures
before it, upon the other.
The socialists at first attempted to
eliminate themselves entirely from the
new ministry. For ten days they held
out. wishing To compel the Christian
socialists and big Germans to shoulder
the government alone. The political
move in this was so obvious that the
latter refused the trap and the So
called working cabinet resulted. In IT
the socialists retain the portfolio OF
war. giving them control of the army,
while the Christian socialists have the
ministry Of the interior. which means
control of the police.
The state of politics in Austria may
be Judged by the Importance attached
to these two forces.
The big Germans. heretofore unrepre
sented by a portfolio, consented TO en-
ter the temporary government and hold
the ministry OF justice. With elections
three months away It is impossible
10 predict result The general be
lief Is. however, that neither Ct the
dominant parties can secure work

h the Two Join

DR.. Alonzo A. Taylor, of the American Food Commission,
paraphrases q conversation he held with a prominent Russian
Bolshevk concerning profit sharing. The Bolshevik did not
think much Of profit sharing, even though wage ea1ners abb
sorbed al q concerns income and became the owners Of the
tools of their industry. He said this would merely substitute
small capitalists Tor large ones, and the former would be as
eager as their predecessors to exploit the consumers.
The MARKHAM socialist for half a century has tom-tomed that
the worker must own his own toos-that the factory system
introduced a condition under which he was a slave. And now
comes the super-socialst 0r the Boshevik school to reject the
MARKHAM dogma as one that would defeat the ends Of socialism
by making working men small capitalists.
SO around and around, like squirrels in a cage, social theor-
lists revolvc. In the vacuum world in which they are there is
little resistance to their whirling. They are forever in argu-
ment, yet they never arrive and they lose all sense of reality.
Yet the Bolshevik friend Of Dr.. Taylor suggests something
panacea. The so-caled warfare between capital and labor,
suming public against extortion. When capital and labor strike
hands iii friendship and begin to stalk the buyer together they
are likely to get his pelt.
Already there are signs of joint effort. Mayor Hylan says
the lnterborough and the PETERBOROUGH brotherhood conspred
together, and the coal operators are understood to be willing
to give the miners everything asked for provided they are
allowed to lift prices to the consumer.
Every person, of course, is both producer and consumer.
But a person is more active and selfshy conscious as a produc-
er than as a consumer. Producers year by year become better
organized and better able to get what they want. Consumers
have 10 organization and few means of self-defense. But it is
not improbable that the economic conflicts of the future will
not be between capital and wage ea1nels, but between pro-
ducers and consumers-the weapon of one the strike, and of
the other the boycott.

Americanism


Americanism will be the big issue Of the coming campaign,
as it should be.
Not a selfish, exclusive Americanism, but a broad, sympa-
thetic, human Americanism that comprehends the needs of the
world and rises to the opportunity to extend a helping hand.
But while this should be done on the one hand, our liberties
and our Independence should be maintained inviolate on the
other hand.
We can help the world better from a vantage point of indie
pendence and free from entangling alliances with other ma
lions than in any other way.
We do not want to adopt the British policy, or the French
policy, or the italian policy, or the Russian policy, or ally our
selves too closely with any of these nations.
We have a great destiny before US that is pre-eminently and
peculiarly our own, and separate and apart from the other
great nations of the world. p
The business, social and political world no longer centers in
Europe. Our own opportunity to set standards for the world
and grasp leadership is at hand, but if we do so, it must be done
from an independent vantage point, and not through any COM
promising, logroling, s~hilly-shally League of Nations, involv-
ing such surrenders of principle and decent moral rectitude as
the Shantung steal.
We are big enough to command the respect and leadership
of the world, if we go about it rightly, and the right way is the
American way.
European ideals are not our ideals. We would be tied down
in a League of Nations, especially the kind accepted by Mr..
Wilson, which, in the nature of things, would be dominated and
controlled by European ideals and policies.
We could hardly be situated in a more enviable position con-
corning our relation to the rest of the world than we are now.
Let US maintain this relation instead of surrendering our free
us much in our national life and handicap us in the pursuit of
a broad, humanitarian, helpful policy toward the world, seek
ing to lift up where help is needed and spread justice, fair
dealing and a spirit of benevolence throughout the universe.
In the national election in 1920 the people of the United
States must choose with discretion between nationalist and
internationalists. Our future independence and our very ex-
istence may depend on the outcome-Erie (Pa) Dispatch.
