BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. 26.-West-'
ern New York as a cross section of the
empire state, reveals so many political
signs and symptoms that if often enables
the political wayfarer to get his bear
ings. Ordinarily Republican in presi-
Dental years, strong for Harding and
bitter against Wilson in 1920, one is
amazed at the revulsion of feeling
against the Washington administration
which is encountered here.
To state it briefly, there's an anti
Republican drift on throughout this part
of the state. This doesn't mean the peo-
pie are pro-Democrats. Hundreds of
Republicans who are dissatisfied with
the President and with the Republican
congress will frankly say so only to re-
assure the inquirer in the next breath
that they are not yet ready to turn to
the Democrats What will happen in
1924 depends, of course, on two years
more of performance at Washington,
and much can always happen to retrieve
Il political loss. But for the moment
the Observation-Disclosures will manifest it
self in two ways: \ return to the Dem
ocratic party of many who left it in 1920
and a protest against Republican mis-
takes by staying away from the polls
altogether.
Only Local Sentiment. 'SsiB
No general differences can be drawn
for the rest of the country from the sit
uation here for there have been many
local factors TO influence political
thought. For one thing, the business
men and staunch Republicans who felt
on Friday last that the Harding admin
istration hadn't been firm enough III
handling the rail strike, awOke Sunday
morning to find that the government haC
been granted a permanent injunction OF
far-rea ching Importance in the history
of industrial conflicts in America. The
street car strike here accompanied as II
has been, by acts of violence, has accen
tuated what might otherwise be norma
reaction to Washington's behavior in &
strike crisis.
Talking TO Greiner, Republican boss
of Erie county. the writer heard vehe

DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin does
not lose its good effect with re-

are unnecessary. Mrs. E. M.
Burgess of Enfield, n. c., who is

of Stapleton, Staten Island, n. T.,
wasted fifteen years and consid-

have sold it successfully for 80
years, and it is the most widely
bought family laxative in the
world.

ETHER THEORY WRONG
DECLARES STElNMETz
R.a.o Wsy,s azA Light Identical E1-
eSpt IN Lsa1th, Re AsDsrss

New York. April 2e.-Two OF tho
most startling announcements e'ef
made Ia the neld OF radio activity were
contained in 4 lecture" by DR.. Charles
=. Steinmetz, chief consulting engineer
Of the General Electric Company ue-
,vercd from a broadca sting station laS'
night.
They were first. that radio waves ana
light arc tho same thing ana seConu'
that the theory Of ether mus DC
al ioned as unsound and unreasonaoIe
only difference between radio ana
light, Prof. Stcsnmetz declared. Is IN the
wave length. The wavo over when nc
SPOKE 70 wireless fans. he explained
lad a length OF SEQ meters. The "a'o
length OF 4 beam OF light is only ono
tvcnty-thousand,h OF centirneter' Inc
wave length % the X-ray Is nunoreo
times shorter. and. on tho other hana'
the electromagnetic wave or long as
lance transmission lines has length OF
100000 meters.
"A radio wave passes through n br'ck
wall" lie said. because the th'ckneS.
u tho wall is only n small Traction OF
the wave length. while a light waVe ~
stopped by thin sheet OF metal pc
canse the thickness o. even tho INN
nest sheet OF metal is many cme 'hs
wave length or Z liSnk
Passing on to the question or ether.
DR.. Steinmetz declared that the oellet
In an ether must be abandoned as De
Ing contradicted by Einsteln's theory O,
relatively. which Is nov meeting genera
acceptance.
''ror a long time ve have believed
he said. that light IS wave motion o.
some hypothetical thing. called the
ether. This theory never was satisfac-
tory. because II required that the ether
| must ee so extremely thin that tho
earth and all bodies move through u
with terrific speed%-loo.ooo feet sec.
ond--wlthout any tract OF friction. Ana
., the same time ether must be solid
body Of high rightly. This Is unreason-
able"
DR.. stsinmets explained tho prodnc-
ton OF electro-magneuo waves which
"!t they alternate about a million times
second, are radio waves" and which,
20, they alternate nearly = hundred
million OF million times a second. FORM
a beam OF light"
There IS no such thing rs ether ne
concluded. "and II In an attempt to os
proxressive we talk about ether waves
and ether telcgraphy. We are just the
oppos!te-oehind time. Thus. let US step
talking about telegraphinx through the
ether and rather speak Of telegraph ~
