The Strong Man Myth..

VTVHE STRONG MAN MYTH is of the most septic of
the old ideas that clog the mind of the world.
One it everywhere. In America you
hear said constantly that what the country needs
able leader.
In Europe the creed rected What Great Britain
needs what France needs what Germany needs, what
Russia needs Moses to lead them out Of the wilder
ness Napoleon, some master mind or some man on
horseback.
The same thing is said now in China What that country
needs asserted is dominant personality that shall
bring the confused affairs Of politics and economics into
order
This all delusion The world does not need great
leader 1t needs whole lot Of good servants.
There lack Of masterful minds who tell just
what to do Of splendid theorists who point the way
OUT of able rulers and commanders There great lack Of
capable who will study the needs of the people and
strive to give them what they want
This Strong Myth the aftermath Of Monarchy It
the result of thousands Of years of the fane habit of
looking to somebody to do for what we ought to be
doing for ourselves.
The only people who be trusted govern country
to redeem it from its and to insure its progress
the people inside Of that country To imagine that
man can take this responsibility himself and tell the
people what do is childish creduy. No class
of men strong enough Withstand the temptation Of
much power.
The only safe government the only government the
only government that will withstand the assaults of tme
the only government in which progress be made by
evolution and not by revolution is government OF the
people, by the people and for the people
It dgnes and dynastes that dangerous Every
Of them past has fallen down. every of them in
the future will fall down.
To rest the stability of country upon throne

strong superior class to stand the pyramid upon
its apex.
The pyramid rests its base until the OF
the people educated and intelligent and until

the glory of nation for the pride of ruling class.

cellent marker. Say you begin
on the first of February. Then
observe by your watch at what
time the middle star in the belt
Of Orion is exactly south. You
should get the north-and-south di-
rection pretty accurately, but the
principal thing is to use precisely
the same line for every success
sive observation, even If it is not
exactly the meridian.) We will
assume that you find Orion south
ing on February l, at $3.50 p. m.
Then one week later you will
find it southing at p. m. After
another week it will south at
1880. At the end of the third
week 1t will south at Z, and at the
end of one month at $50.
Thus the stars, or the heavens
carrying them, appear to swing
westward about one degree every
night. or fifteen degrees in two
weeks, which makes thirty de-
grees in a month. Now, when
you see that, you are seeing the
movement of the earth in its orbit
around the sun.
The earth advances eastward
about one degree in twenty.four
hours, or thirty degrees in a
month, and its motion is reflected
in the reverse apparent motion
Of the stars. 1t doesn't require
much Imagination to feel this mo-
tion Of the earth when you know
that In shifting the position Of a
star one degree westward the
earth has swept with you upon
1t, about 100000 miles eastward.
The Washington times., 1924-02-09

TT is not enough simply to ac-
cept certain facts Of nature
Il on the authority of science;
we need to see them at work.
Then only comes full satisfac-
ton of the understanding, giving
a deep intellectual pleasure.
Consider, for instance, the daily
rotation of the earth on its
axis, and its yearly revolution
around the sun. These are not
merely things to read about
they can be seen in operation,
and the seeing of them Is a de-
lightful exercise Of human intelli-
gence. Many may be surprised by
the statement that these great
motions can be seen, but they are
as visible as the movements OF
many Of the smaller objects about
US. To be sure, one must know
how to look.
How can the rotation Of the
earth on its axis be seen? By
looking at the sun. All seeing Of
motion is only watching the rela-
tive changes of place Of objects.
II you watch the sun apparently
rising, you see the earth really
turning over. You may teach
yourself 30 vivid an appreciation
Of what you are seeing that a
kind Of oualm, or dizziness, af.
feots you when you behold visibly
dropping down into the gulf OF
space. leaving the sun standing
TO mark the rate Of the fall. The
horizon sweeps downward and
co.incidentally the straight line
from your eye to the motionlesS
sun rises In the sky.
You feel that, with the east
ward rush Of the surface beneath
your feet, you are being precipi-
tated down a mighty slope, which
drops below the range of vision
at the horizon. Do not let any
body browbeat you by telling you
that your imagination Is running
away with you; that Is not your
case but the case Of the man who
thinks that 1t is the sun that
moves.
Look at the sun again at noon,
and see how It appears to travel
rapidly westwaNa, but let your
reason correct this impression by
showing you that the rotating
earth Is carrying you eastward,
and the seeming motion Of the
sun is only a reversed image of
your real movement. The sun is
$4,000 miles away, and yet 1t
appears to move westward 15 de-
grees every hour. If that motion
were real the suns speed would
be more than twenty.four million
miles an hour! but to produce
this appearance the earth's rota-
tional speed tat the equator) Is
only a thousand miles an hour!
The angular speed Of the earth
and of the seemingly-moving sun
Is, Of course. the same.
To see the yearly motion Of the
earth as 1t travels around the sun
Is q somewhat more complicated
undertaking, yet easy enough, too.
You have only to watch the stars,
which form background extend.
ing all around the dome of the
sky. This motion Is relatively so
slow that 1t could hardly produce
a dizzying effect no matter how
vividly you might visualize It,
But It is extremely impressive
when once perceived.

Nothing is quite so confusing

Too much anxiety on the part
Of a prospective buyer raises the

Life does either one Of two
