TESTING E1NsTE1Ns THEORY.

On September 81 there will be an eclipse of the
sun, visible only in parts OF the southern hemisphere
Astronomers are establishing stations at points OF
observation in order that photographs OF the eclipse
may be made. Unusual interest attends this eclipse
because in it a test will be made of the accuracy OF
one of the theories of DR.. Einstein. whose specula-
tons have sent tremors through the entire scientific
structure.
Relatively" is too complex for most of US. but
the particular phase which is to be investigated at
this time is comparatively simple. The understand
ing has been that light rays proceed in straight
lines. and are not subject to diversion from their
course BY attraction exerted by bodies past which
they travel Einstein holds that light rays passing
masses OF matter are drawn toward that body, the
degree Of bending beng governed BY the size OF
tia, BODY.
The eclipse gives opportunity sur a test Stars
which viii De nearly II line with the sun and earth
at the time o. the eclipse are photographed. and
their distance IS carefully measured The. viii be
measured during the eclipse, the s1os rzvs being
obscured SO that the stars may De seen though IN
close proximity TO me sun. II the E7nsteia theory
IS correct the apparent position Q: TIE stars will be
changed. due to the bending of the -zrs from them
in passing the sun.
To the layman ali this is Of slight interest. Yet
to the scientific mind the distance apart of two t;nv
spots on a Photographic plate may be fraught with
possibilities involving the construction OF whole
new systems of measurement, computation and
thought.

NoTA r FIGHT.

The Nonpartisan league managers would naatur.
ally be. pleased to have the independent candidates
on the Republican ticket pledge their support tkoSMrr.
Frazier in his candidacy for the senate, and in re-.
turn they would doubtless be pleased to pledge their
support. to the independent Candidates. In the
making of pledges the league managers are adopts,
as a good many farmers whose notes are in process
OF collection have good reason to know. And, any
way, the managers have nothing to-lose in such a
bargain. They have no expectation of defeating
Nestos, although that is the thing which would be
most pleasing, as it would ~reinstate them in control
|ot the state administration That is something.
however, that they do not expect, and as the next
best thing they hope for the election of Frazier to
the senate. =
OF course there is no possibility that either in
dependent candidates or independent voters will
support Frazier. He represents things to which they
are utterly opposed and there is no common ground
on which they can meet. > :
There is no question of party involved. The
question is not whether the state shall be represent
ed IN the senate by a Republican or a Democrat,
but whether it shall be represented there BY a man
who will put forth his fort to impose upon the ma
ton, in SO far as that is possible the principles, pol.
lcles and methods under which the state narrowly
escaped irTetrievable disaster under the adrninistra-
ton of Lynn J. Frazier, or bv a man who will carry
INTO the field of national legislation the sound judg-
ment and public spirit which characterized r. 7.
as a member of the North Dakota general
assembly.
The voter at this time will do we'll to remember
that one of two men will be elected to the senate
rom this state in November. The two from whom
this choice will be made are Frazier and O'Connor.
There is no third possibility. There is a sort Of un-
derground movement in favor of the re-
entrance of Senator McCumber into the race
despite his defeat at the June primary. In
credible though it may SEEM. there are whispers
that Mr., McCumber himself is inclined to give the
suggestion serious consideration. Elaborate tables
OF hgures have been prepared to show that there
would be good prospects OF his election. Those who
are tond OF this sort OF figuring say that Frazier was
by Democratic votes; that the Democrats
VINO voted for him. having accomplished their pur-
will now vote for O'Connor: and that the indie
Republican vote which would be cast for
MeCumber would be sufficient to overcome what
remains OF the Frazier vote, resulting, of course, IN
the election OF McCurnber.
The principal defect in this is that it isn't 81.
1t Is true that Democratic votes were cast for
FRAZER, and that most OF these will now be cast for
= Cnanor-! But it is not true that independents who
voted for MoCunber in June would vote for him IN
November IN sufficient numbers to achieve ANYTHING
the election OF Frazier. Il.
The entrance Of Mr.. McCuAber into the race
again would be a direct contribution to the Frazier
>an'paign. I,

NO COMPULSIoN.

IF they (the %shopmen) are compelled to work. "
says MI. Gompers, ~heated1y, they are not free
men,"
lnasmuch as there has at no time been a sue-
gestion of compelling the shopmen to work. Mr.,
Gornpers is arguing beside the point. A lot OF other
people have been doing the same thing. There has
been much nonsense about industrial slavery. and
one might imagine from some of the comment that
an effort was being made to seize the striking shop
men and return them to the shops by main force
and compel them to &C to work.
Nothing of the sort has been proposed or sr,o-
gested. The shopmen-a good many of thcm-1
have quit. Their position is exactly that of anv
Other men who have quit. They are free to 20 and
come as they please. They may take up any other
work that is to their liking. They may remain un-
may apply for their former positions and have their
applications considered just as the applications 81
ed to 60 to work.
The demand that is made is that they shall
place no obstacles IN the way Of other men going
to work, and there is the rub.
=, upon the calling of this. strike. the strikers
had retrained from acts of intimidation, the strike
would have been settled long ago. And bv acts Of
Intimidation we do not mean the actual comm;ss;on
Of acts Of violence. Intimidation has been practiced
IN lnn,iimerable ways. Pickets have been establish
ed around railway shops. Men going to work have
been accosted and aobstructed. Offensive .epithets
nave been applied to them. Sometimes there has
been a sufficient display Of force to suggest, an I'M
mediate beating. Sometimes this feature has been;
less conspicuously aparaded. But always there has
been the menace Of violence, and it has been wei

ISSUE" AND MOVEMENT

Making a sharp distinction between the tissue
IN the coal strike and the movement of which thu
strike is a part. the Mining Congress Journal saws:
he issue IN the coal strike is a mere matter
OF dollars and cents-whethe one group will ee,
them or whether another group will keep them. II
that were all that is involved. THE whole dispute
could and would go to arbitration. Disputes over
dollars and cents always have gone and always will
go to court. And, going to court is nothing but
agreeing to arbitration;
When the miners union refuses arbitration. II
puts the movement ahead of the issue. That com
pels US to inquire into and to shift our thoughts to
the movement if we want to understand this thing
The labor movement in coal involves these
many things:
First-The miners union wants a rpon-
opoly OF the right to work Il in coal mines. That
IS the beginning and the means to the end.
Second-Ihe miners union wants the I'M
limited check-oH. That is the method of fnanc-
ing the existing union and the campaign neces-'
sary to carry the union to a coal labor mon
opoly.
Third-The miners union has come
through various stages, to demand in its con-
%stitution the full social value of a ton of coal.n
This it defines as "the selling price to the con
sumner less the freight rate" 1t wants to con-
hscate the capital invested in coal mines. A.
early as 1912, it had demanded that, ultimately,
the mines must be turned over to the miners r.
be worked on a cooperative basis.
Fourth-The miners union demands III.
naturalization of the coal mines. This is gen
orally understood to mean the declaration bv
the state that coal is a common possession to be
administered by the government in the ioiht
interestsof capital and labor.
Fifth and Final-The. miners union de-
mands national agreements. This means that
all contracts with all mine labor shall BE made
on the same date and shall: expire on the same
date.
The miners union resists arbitration because
as Nj. Lewis has just said. that would mean an en-
to collective bafgaining.s Collective bargaining. on
nationwide scale, means the right to strike On
nationwide scale. By employing The nation=wid

will be 1.-The final and complete masters of that e

A new THOUGHT
IN LANDRU CASE
Alleged Victims May Have
Been Spies for the
Germans

Paris. Jan. 14.-The idea that
Henri d. Landru. may have been
master spy who employed as his
OF numbering has been advanced by
Henri laval. member of the Paris
bar.
This suggestion is advanced In an
effort to account for the fact that no
direct evidence of the murders was
brought out at Landru's trial. The
absence of this evidence has caused
feeling OF uncertainty by most Pari-
slens in regard to this mysterious case
and numerous attempts have been
made to solve the mystery on some
other basis than murder.
Developing his theory, Maitre laval
says:
Eleven persons. 10 financecs and
the son of one of them, have d'sap-
peared. Landru alone knows what
has become of them. and he says
nothing. BY his silence he puts his
head at stake. This can only mean
that the truth. were 1t known, would
be as fatal for him But the whole
affair takes on another complexion II
we imagine. for the sake of argu-
ment. that his victims were his ac-
completes in crime. and that crime
espionage.
Let us suppose, he continues.
that during the war Landru was
German spy-rccruiting agent. He
prefers to work thru women. At once
this explains his meetings, sometimes
five in the same day. with hundreds OF
women, of whom he chooses only a
few, and those few without friends or
relatives who might he surprised at
their long absence. He takes n lonely
villa as far from other hnbitations
possible where he can receive them.
There he fabricates false identity
papers for them, keeping their own.
and sends them forth on their mis-
sions of treason. Arrested. Dandru
says nothing. and his Victims ma
turally do not break the silence.
Can you imagine. by any other
Maitre laval concludes
why so careful. calculating a Grim
inal as Jandru should burn the
bodies OF his victims with great diff
ficulty and vet neglect to throw into
the all-consuming flames such dam
aging evidence az their identity
papers7
and does not this theory explain
why he should keep such an incrim-
mating document as tho diary, In
which reference to his victims is made
by initials other than their own? He
needed their identity papers and the
entries in his diary to show to those
who employed him as a recruiter OF
spies.

.F|GHT|NG BEETLES
WITH POISON GAS

beetle Is being fought with poison
gas IN the ancient Westminster Hal
the scene OF many memorable events
in British history.
Tho famous beamed roof OF carved
oak, dating from the year 1899. was
discovered some time ago to be ser
iously menaced by the bori1gs OF
wood bettles which had been breeding
there for centuries.
Tho first gas that was experimental
with to kill the BEETLES nearly proved
fatal to the cleaners. Then another
chemical was tried and this. IT. is
claimed, will make the historic edifce
safe for another six or seven centuries.
As this gas is heavier than air. it
penetrates into the lobbies OF the
adjacent House OF Commons. and it
can therefore only be used when
parliament is not sitting.

hit at the convention.
Mrs. Browns husband, ". G.
Brown, represented the Second West
Virginia district in congress and died
in office. Before him his father was
a West Virginia congressman. West
Nirginians say Mrs. Brown has n good
chance of restoring the office to tho
family. Mrs. Brown has been active
in suffrage work. While she has not
announced her candidacy, her friends
are boosting it.
