 CLEVELAND, Ohio, June Sold line suffragists are mourning the pass ing of Harriet. Taylor Upton as na- tional leader of republican women. She is retiring as vice chairman of the re- publican national committee to run for Congress from Ohio. Her retirement from the national committee marks the end of the influence on national politics of the theories of the energetic women who carried the suffrage fight to its conclusion. SeV
 With Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, recom- mended new vice chairman of the execu- tive committee of the republican na- tional committee, comes new era of new figures and ideals of activity a
 Had Nom Partisan Idea
 In the pre-suffrage days, Mrs. Upton was among theswomen who, evolved the idea of bipartisan :. lobbying. The plan upon which suffrage was won was the, method by which women brought pressure tosbear upon the legislators of both parties. It was not until after they were granted the franchise that they professed any political faith.
 When the suffrage amendment was granted the League of Women Voters, headed by such leading suffragists as Maud Wood Park and Carrie Chapman Catt, grew out of the American suf- frage association and began preaching

politics from a non-partisan angle. Other great women's organizations be-, gan taking non-partisan interest in politics.
 Mrs. Upton had worked before bright hats glowed through the haze of cigar smoke at party caucuses; Mrs. Hert, wife of member of. the republican in ner circle, was an. efficient and atten- tive hostess at her husbands dinner parties. Her. active interest in public affairs was confined to educational matters, a heritage from her school teacher days. She did not belong to women's clubs nor did she take part in any exclusively feminine movement.
 Lessons From Old School
 While Mrs. Upton was haranguing the lords of creation and learning her politics from personal experience, Mrs. Hert was taking lessons from the devious discussions of ways and means o: practical politics among her hus- bands friends.
 Consequently she brings to office a political outlook which more closely resembles that of the men. It is ques- toned whether she will look for much assistance or influence from the great | non-partisan clubs, especially as she is not believer in the socalled "wom. en's interests" unless she can be con- vinced that they are the interests of the men as well, and consequently incor- porated into the party policies.

$I0O FOR ANSWER TO WHY DOESN'T
 SUN BURN UP?"

ka Copyright sls24. in United States and Canada; by North American Newspaper Alliance for The Age-EIerald.l
 NEW YORK, June Why doesn't the sun burn up?
 This is just as natural an inquiry as Newton's, when he began speculating about the apple. And it may lead to al- most as profound results. Trying 10 answer this question has. led scientists to radical new theories regarding intra- atomic energy, and it is not beyond re- mote possibility that further research may bring, as by-product, the secret of radioactive energy. Reputable scientists have said that if man had this secret, he might, if he chose, destroy the earth.
 The New York Academy of Sciences has placed the question on the boards in offering the A. Greasy Morrison prizes for 1924, for the best scientific papers. A prize of $200 is offered by the best paper in any field of research covered by the academy. The consideration of intra-atomic energy is covered by the academy's announcement of $100 prize as follows:
 ''The prize of $100 is offered for the thesis adjudged by the council of the academy to. be the most meritorius on the subject, What may be proved by our present knowledge as to the possibility, or impossibility, of released intra-atomic energy constituting an important source of stellar and interstellar energy?' The following memorandum is submitted by Mir. Morrison for consideration
 Tt is accepted that atomic matter is discontinuous. It is assumed that the atom is composed of "a nucleus, like a central sun, with one or more electFons which are in extremely rapid motion with orbits at relatively large distances from the he'nucleus that these atoms, un- der certain conditions, are capable of absorbing energy, OF giving off energy, and that the electrons may be changed from an outer orbit to an inner orbit, or vice-versa these changes taking place when the atom is absorbing or giving off energy.
 With, the condensation of a nebula to a sun, the ordinary sources of en- ergy,s such as contraction, meteoric showers, chemical changes, possible ra- dium activity, and, in fact, all these well recognized sources of energy which have been proposed, should be credited with their relative importance. How ever, beyond these sources, it is sug- gested that under the conditions of tenn perature and pressure in the interior of the sun, the complex atoms are re- duced to. simpler atoms, or disin- tegrated; and that the energy is thus released from the atoms and constit tutes the. principal source of the energy of the sun. The estimated life of the sun is, therefore, continued for an indefinite period, far in excess of any previous cal culation, by the added amount of energy contained in the normal atoms them selves. The following thesis is proposed
 ''The principal source of energy of the sun is intra-atomic energy existing within the normal atom, which is re- leased from the atom under the condi tions of temperature and pressure which exist within the sun"

DR. MORDECAI ,"
 FLATS 'MODERNS
Calls Them Pagans And Decries Rationalism In 4
 Religion :.

"Supernaturaiism is the most typical feature of Christianity" declared Dr. Trevor P. Mordecai, newly installed minister of the First Presbyterian church, in a strong sermon Sunday against so-called modern rationalistic theories in religion.
 q have no use for any kind of 2ra- tionalism,," declared Dr. Mordecai. Whatever my few doubts may be, I don't believe God has abdicated His throne. He still has His hand on the throttle of the universe Nations and individuals are under his control, with q divine plan for each, and in order to perfect it, God sometimes intervenes in a supernatural way. So I believe, without apology, in the virgin birth, the miracles and resurrection and ascension of Christ. a-.....
 "Why, the nationalist rejects that which is typical of Christianity in re- jecting the supernatural. He who cuts out of the Bible anything not measur- ing according to his own little personal yardstick, must not assume any, su- periority for that. Rather, they are like child in library, tearing pages here and there from some of the clas- sics. That is nc. proof of genius"
 Not Modern, But Pagan
 Continuing, his sermon on Pagan Voices in Modern Thought," Dr. Mor- decai stated that ''as free verse is to literature as jazz is to music :; as cubism is to art; so this so-called mod ern organism is to religion. It is de. stroyer. of high standards.
 "Nor is this so-called rationalism anything new. It is simply a re- appearance of old organism. It is in no sense the. fruit of modern science, It was old when science was new. Re fusal to accept. the virgin birth is not modernism"
 In closing Dr. Mordecai made a powerful plea to ''teach the coming generation old faiths, not the popular sentiment of the day and of the streets"

 Quickly Laid To Rest
Wholesale Slaughter Of Stalwarts Is Under Way
 At Cleveland !

gate-at-large. but Bill Ware. a Phila- delphia politician, whose regularity is to be relied upon this year, will sit on the platform committee for his state. In- stead of Senator Wadsworth, represent ing New York, Representative Ogden Mills will be named. Ware and Mills conferred with Coolidge before starting to Cleveland and it may be taken for granted that their influence will be used to support the White House platform. Senator Watson of Indisna has told his friends that he could be on the plat form committee if he desired but he has indicated that the might not be chosen by Chairman Warren to sit on the draft ing subcommittee, so he is inclined not to have anything to do with the matter.
 Predicts Ironing Out
 Upon his arrival here Sunday Watson issued cryptic statement regarding the world court, to the effect that: s"The whole thing will be ironed out without friction"
 This was one of the important state ments of the day, indicating that the republican senators have run up the white flag and know a licking when they feel it. ,
 All of these selections for the plat form committee are significant because each discloses the careful shelving of a senator of potential trouble-making pos abilities. They insure, at the outset that Coolidge will get his own platform and that there need be no effort to deal gently with Senate sensibilities.
 Warren On Hand
 Charles B. Warren. chairman of the platform committee, arrived here Sun day. He announced that everyone would have an opportunity to offer, plat form suggestions. But the usual pro- cedure of discarding these and drawing up a document on approved lines doubt less will be resorted to. Frank ". Stearns, Boston merchant and patron of the President, arrived looking exceeding ly wise after his usual custom. But he said nothing. Whether he carried any significant slips. of paper for the plat form committee was not divulged. Sec retary Slemp will be here Monday and whether he has anything in writing or not he will know exactly the Presidents s views on all party issues. These views will be given to the platform commit tee for adoption at the proper time.

WARM CONTESTS ARE DEVELOPING INMISSISSIPPI
Many Derbies Dumped Ii Ring In Congressional
 Races

JACKSON, Miss, June S.--(Special.) Congressional politics are warming up in Mississippi. Most of the represent atives in Congress from this state will have opposition and some of them will have from three to four opponents.
 In the First district, so far, there has been no announced opposition to Representative John T. Rankin.
 Tn the Second district, B. c. Lowrey, who has twice been opposed by A. c. Anderson. seems to be playing lone hand this time.
 In the Third district, 50 long repre- scented by the late Ben G. Humphreys, whose son, Will II. Humphreys, filled out his unexpired term, but declined to offer for reelection, there are several candidates. Among these are W. M. Wilmington, Walter Sillers, Walton Shields and probably Capt. Harfy Hu- len. There is also rumor of one or two other prospective" candidates.
 Conducts Race Alone
 In the Fourth district, Jeff Busby will probably be left to make the race all by himself, and this is one time that he is not complaining of the lack of company. .
 In the Fifth district there is going to- be scrap. Ross Collins, who is some runner himself, has Floyd Loper of Scott, and Tom Brame of Jasper, camping on his trail Besides there are rumors of others ready to shack their coats and dump their derby into the ring.
 : In the Sixth, T. webber Wilson has no announced opposition and probably will not have.
 But in the Seventh, conditions are different. There are three or four ener- getic gentlemen willing, waiting and wishing for the seat now occupied by the gentleman who eats homemade lunch, Percy Quinn. E. T. Ratliff of Adams county is one of them, while M $. McNeil of Copiah, is another. Hugh V. Wall of Lineoln, has not yet made his regular biennial announce ment, but it may be expected at any time.
 In the eighth there is also going to be some fun. James William Collier has been representing this district for the past 16 years and there are at least two gentlemen i'll the district who be- lieve that he has had the job long enough. They are Jack M. Greaves, at present mayor of the progressive little city of Canton, but who believes he is fitted for a bigger job, and Dr. J. O. Zellar, state senator from Yazoo coun- ty, who having made good as state legislator, would like to do little law making for the nation. 1-
 And then, too, Harrison has oppo- eition. Former Gov. Earn Brewer is spending time and some money canvass ing for the. seat.

LEAGUE DEBATES
 ON UNIFICATION
Motion To Approve Ia bled- Birmingham Se-.
 lected For Next Year

Heated discussion of the proposed unifieation of the northern and south ern branches of the Methodist Episco- pal church, with no action, however, being taken on motion to approve the union, and fight over the selec- tion of next years meeting place, with Birmingham being again chosen, fea- tured the sessions of the seventh an- nual convention of the North Alabama Epworth league held at Birmingham- Southern college during the weekend, ,. x The delegates, after much argument on both sides, and after the -introdne! tion of resolution to approve the uni fication passed, counter resolution tab ling the original one and urging the league members to acquaint themselves more thoroughly with the matter.
 Chief contenders for selection as next June's host to the North Alabama league were the leagues at Athens, Owenton and Birmingham.Sout Birming- ham-Southern was chosen after many heated debates.
 Respite Sunday
 Sunday the delegates enjoyed a re- spite from the vigorous work of the week. The program for the morning included prayer meeting at [ 80 o'clock, administering of the Sacrament of the Lords Supper at 10 o'clock in the audi torium, morning service in the Mccoy Memorial church, and vespers with at tractive musical numbers as added fea- lures in the program, at 7:30 o'clock in Munger Bowl.
 he last session of the convention will start at noon Monday. Business will include reports of all committees, the awarding of standard and grade certificates and the presentation of ban ners to leading leagues in the confer ence. Installation of the new assembly officers will~bring the meeting'to close.
