will Bring Enough.

W/ITHoUT record vote and so practically
w unanimously the House has passed the i'm
migration bill 1t is all intents, the bill passed
by the last Congress- 1t limits immigration from
May next to June 80, 1922, just year, to
per cent of the nationals OF other countries now
here.
1t is estimated that this would admit during the
year 1900 British, 5000 Germans, $4,000 Aus
trans, 10000 Italians, $1,000 Russians and those
from other countries in less numbers, to total Of
about $4,000. Very wisely the House refused an
amendment to admit political refugees. The world
is full of political refugees, OF those who could
easily be so designated.
This change might have blanketed all of Russia,
much of Turkey all of Armenia and millions upon
millions of others. AS Mr.. Mondel said, it would
make this haven not only for William, the
Damned" and former Emperor Charles, but for all
the deposcd kings. all the Romanoffs, the Haps-
burgs, Hohenzollerns and host of impoverished,
incapable aristocracy of the defunct governmental
regimes.
But for the period of the law, it would seem to
dispose of the Japanese immigration problem. Not
to exceed 5000 Of that country can be admitted, and
the activities of the eleven States associated to
wholly exclude the Japanese, will have to look to
the future to perpetuate this law rather than to in
crease international bad feeling. 1t will be WE'LL
Also if the law remains and becomes permanent.
1t would be feasible, II more labor population Is
needed, to admit such were needed for skilled
occupations, agriculture common labor, for a
limited period, compelling them to go back at the
end of specified time, or liable to have their ad-
mission period ended with the demand
- 1t would seem that $4,000 would be enough to
add annually to permanent residents and to
citizenship. Moreover those who do not qualify
themselves to become citizens and apply for natural
ization within three to five years, should be sent
back This should no longer be a country of tran
sients and this law whole, will bring for citi-
zenship those best qualified by and tempera-
ment to become Americans. -

Brief Comment From
Leading Newspapers
Throughout Nation
Harding'S Message.
Chicago Post.)

1t would be idle to pretend that
the Post is not disappointed at the
fiat rejection of the existing league
of nations by President Harding in
his first message to Congress. But
we are not at all sure tina; this de-
cision definitely ends the league it,
self or a league effort: and we find
in the message considerable comfort
and hope for the future.
The main element in both these
reactions is the definiteness with
which the President takes the con-
duct Of foreign policies out of the
hands Of the Senate and gives II TO
the executive department, where it
constituti0nally belongs. This is
done with an urbanity that might
have been expected from Mr.. Hard
ing, but also with strength and
firmness that will bring him new
respect from thinking people.
That policy definitely includes the
signing of the existing treaty of
Versailles. though amended and
with the league covenant excised.
1t definitely includes a ranging of
ourselves upon the side of our al
lies in the war. II definitely in
cludes a pledge to the bringing
about of some association of ma
tions for the forwarding of world
peace.

But when your columns contain
a bunch of figures called Distances

wonder who your statistician is and
whether he knows Charles Town,

thinking of the Capital of West Vir-
ginia way down on the Chesapeake
ard Ohio. where you waken about 4
q. m. from a good sleep CD on the
Pullman and wonder when you will
get to Cincinnati, and not the town
eight miles or SO from Harpers

For the love of Mike, and for the

DISCUSS REVOLUTIONARY
GRAVITATION EXPERIMENTS

DR.. Charles /. Brush's expert
mental data tha; indicated a revOlu-
ton of NewtonS basic second law
Of grsvitation and a consequent up
setting Of Einstein's theory OF relA-
tivity, held the attention OF physi-
cists attending the meeting Of the
American Physical Society al the
Bureau of Standards Saturday,
where he rep sated his paper pre-
Sented TO the American Philoscah-
icaI Society in Philadelphia on FRI
day.
But in talking about the paper
after the meeting. physicists ini-
mated that because Of the astonisi-
ing large differences in the pull Of
ersvitationOn various metals that
DR.. Brush's experiments show. ihcy
are not ready 10 accept them and
revise their lonS-tested ideas about
grsvitstion.
BY three methods Dr. Brush found
relatively large differences in the
gravitAtional attraction with differ
ence in the weigat or nature Of the
substance.
Using q grsvitationsl balance. he
found that equal weights of metals,
attracted equally by the earth, were
attracted uneuslly by a smaller BODY
of another metal. He gave as the
ratios Of gravItstionSl attraction To
weight. derived from his data. and
considering zinc as 100. the follow
ing figures: Aluminium. $50; zinc
tin. 100; lead, 80; silver. so: bis
muth. az.
When bobs Of the same size
made OF different metals were used
on a grsvitstionsI pendulum, much
smaller but still astonishingly
large differences in the grsvita-
tional effect, as measured by the
period Of the pendulum, were
found. BY using a torsion pendu-
Ium in which equal weights are
used. corresponding differences were
found.
For many years experiments 20
determine the relation OF grsvita-
tion to the nature Of the matter
have been MADE without any
discovery Of the large differences
that DR.. Brush reports. The ex-
periments of EotVos showed 4
difference Of ono part in 10000
600, but this is well within the eN-
perimental error. For over 100
years grsvitation experiments have
been made with great skill and re-
hnement, and in all cases up 20 now
it has been found that gravity is
independent OF the nature Of the
matter.
In discussion of the paper at the
meeting numerous suggestions were
made that there are opportunities
for experimental error due TO pos
sible lack Of consideration Of vari-
Gus conditions.

DIsAGREEs WITH NJ. DEvRIEs.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald;
In today's issue of your paper
there appears an article by a m.
Devries," which is at once so in
consistent and so prejudiced by
party politics as to disgust any
sane reader, notwithstanding his
statement that he is a disinterested
observer. To begin, was IL not a
Southern court and jury that con-
victed WilliamS? II seems that he
should get justice in his own State
where Northern Republicanism
could not control. l realize as fully
as Mr.. Devries. l think. what a
great problem the colored race pre-
sents. But are not we responsible
for its existence here? The only
sane thing then is to make the best
of 1t. summary Justice" as he
terms the degenerate practice of
lynching is not of red-blooded men
but barking back to primitive
days. Red-blooded men realize that
might does not make right. and
that a human life is equally precious
housed in a black or a white skin.

there had been a misprint in the
