Move Rapidly

But all the other stars are still
farther away than that. And of all
the others, the little star in the Great
Bear, invisible to the naked eye, is
the next closest. 1t is sos 900 times as
far away as the sun.
The other interesting star in the
bear is the one which Of all the stars
visible in the northern hemisphere
has the fastest proper motion. The
stars are not fixed in place but NOV
ing with speeds ranging from twelve
to twenty miles a second. 1t is only
that they are so very far away that
they seem fixed in place. Astrono-
mers sometimes call this fast-moving
star in the bear the runaway
star" because it is moving so much
faster than the other stars.
Neither of these two stars have
been given names, but are merely
known by the numbers which astron-
omers have assigned to them in their
great catalog of stars. The star
which is nearest to us is known,
accordingly, as Lalande 21,1S5. The
runaway star is Groombridge 1880.

"SMITH DID
NOT RAISE
KHAN ISSUE 4"
Charles P, Tighe Declares
Responsibility Rests
With Underwood,

To The Editor Of The Times
IN AM WRITING with refer
| ence to your observation in
- the editorial columns Of your
publication regarding the radio in
politics. Much of which you have
said in your article is not subject
TO contradiction or objection. How
ever. l feel that you have missed the
real point intended by attributing to
the Smith forces the raising of the
Khan issue.
Every radio fan in the country
well knows, as you should. that the
Khan issue was raised by Mr.. Oscar
Underwood of Alabama and Mr..
Moore Of Ohio, who was backing
former Governor Cox, and that the
majority Of the opponents of the
Khan who spoke from the rostrmn
were Protestants. 1t was but nat
ural that those prescribed by the
Khan would follow the lead Of
Prot estant opponents to the organi.
Zati)n.
There is much food for thought
in your editorial affecting the impair
tial dissemination of actual events
through the radio as contrasted with
the colored interpretations imposed
by some newspaper agencies.
The writer does not impugn the
motives of your paper nor does he
classify your paper as one likely to
abuse the confidence OF it's readers
by INDUCING in propaganda. As
matter Of fact, your editorial policy
has teen much admired, but in mat
ters of this sort there is, sometimes.
a Understandable bias.
AS a Democrat, l am very we'll
pleased with the nominations, al
though I strongly favored Ealston
and confidently believe him che win
ner. Mr.. William Jennings Bryan
and Mr.. McAdoo very likely would
have objected to Governor Smiths
alleged Wall Street connections,
whereas now. these objections seem
to be removed.

Answers Postal Argument

To the Editor Of The Times
Please allow me to answer N R.
3. apropos of postal employees. The
politicians have been justly accused
Of many things, but they are not
guilty of exacting a portion of our
salary.
| have been a clerk in the Indian
apolis postoffice for over four years
and that has not been my experience.
I belong to a political club and have
never given as much as a nickel to
any politician, any party or any
campaign fund. l have never been
requested to do so. [ have never
asked another man to vote for any
candidate and have never worked at
the polls My political experience
is nil except for casting my ballot.
N B. r. starts out with a de-
termination to enlighten the poor
misguided and uniformed cor
respondents to the Views of the
People" and then hands them some
half-baked and erroneous ideas. I
wonder where he was in the service
and in what capacity?
About two years ago several Of
ficials Of this office were removed
who were charged with soliciting
money for political party.
When 1 entered this work 1 saw
no one except the Civil Service sec
rotary, the examiners and a doctor
for an examination.
1 agree with N. B. r. that we
would have plenty if we could keep
ali we get. Who wouldn't, il they
did not have to spend part of their
salary to live?

Post Cards
BY HAL COCHRAN.

When people go out on a vacation
trip, they plan on a good loaf and
rest. All worry, it seems, quickly
loses it's grip as they shake off the
bus ness-time pest.
A trip to lake or a SUMMER resort
just calls for a soul to relax. You
turn from your work to a session OF
sport and you gain as your system
reacts.
There are no set rules that are
holding you down; you do as you like
through the day. The sun turns
your skin from a white to a brown
when the beach is the scene of your
play.
The people back home wonder just
how you are! they hope you're enjoy
ing your trip. You send them a pos
tai from near or from far, an act
that you mustn't let slip.
And what do you say, ere you're
signing your name? Just what is
your message of cheer? On evely
vacation the cards are the same. You

Attempts Blocked

Every attempt to secure a reduc-
ton in freight rates on farm pro-
ducts and upon the necessities of
the farm is blocked by that provision
of the interstate commerce act I'M
der which the Interstate Commerce
Commission fixes rates so as to pro-
vide the railroads with an adequate
return upon a value fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
That return has been fixed at 5&
per cent And freight rates must
remain excessive in order that the
weaker roads may earn that return
upon that fixed value
We all realize the need for rail
roads. We all recognize the part Of
the railroads in the development of
the country. But some railroads
should never have been built. Some
railroads have been 50 grossly mis-
managed it has been a public scan
dal. Some roads are valued at sew
eral times more than their actual
value.

Rural Problems,
Nv GEORGE K FAVRO

By GEORGE K. FAVROT
L. S. Representative from Louisiana
In al ANY plans have been sug-
IWIl gested for the relief of the
- farmer, some feasible, some
not feasible, some sound, some UNI
sound. But there is one burden.
one handicap borne by the farmer
that could be and should be tighten.
ed, and that is the burden of ex-
cessive freight rates upon farm
products.
The interests that control the rail
roads would have us believe that
these freight rates are the result of
a high wage scale. Such is not the
fact. The net return per man hour
of most Glass A roads is nearly
double what it was in 1915 prior to
the time the Government forced an
increase in railroad wages.
