Washington has turned the faae of the Filipinos into a sort
Of grim joke, one. party offering the people independence on a

Congress, in 1916, by almost unanimous vote, passed the

A GOOD CHOICE

m1REsIDENT COOLIDGE certainly started the new year off
right when he selected Attorney General Harlan F. Stone
to succeed Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, who retired af-
ter twentyseven years on the United States Supreme Court
bench.
Both by his public record, and by his legal experience, is Mr.
Stone qualified for his new job. A robust vigorous man in the
prime Of life, his presence will add life and wholesome atmor
sphere to the highest court in the land.
Mr.. Stone was q college friend Of the President. He joined.
the faculty of the Columbia University Law School in 1908, and
for fourteen years was dean of that school This experience
particularly fitted him to view the law in the abstract, as an in
stitution, to see legal questions free of previous prejudice.
His record during the short time since heStook over the
reigns of the Department of Justice for the purpose of cleaning
up the tangled web left by the Daugherty regime has been one
which has excited the admiration even Of the traditional critics
of that department.
serves much credit for bringing Stone into the Government serv-
Ice and for promoting him to the Supreme. Court.

Science

The problem Of the ether, made

ing scientific theories.
Ether is purely a speculative me
dium which Is supposed to nh all
space, ever those portions occupied
by fluids and solids. 1t is merely a
theory that was invented by scien-
lists to answer the question Of what
filed space. It was accepted largely
through the work OF Sir oliver
Lodge, who is the recognized au-
thorfty on this theory.
Einstein, while he did not totally
disrupt the ether theory, caused
grave doubts of its correctness. In
effect, he demanded evidence which
could not be given.
Prof. Albert P. Matthews, Of the
University of Cincinnati, has offered
the latest theory. He suggests that
''the ether is composed OF minute
units that may be called etherions. .
says that teach etherton is in
rotation about three axis" This
theory Is attracting attention be-
cause it enters the field of specula-
ton as to what may be beyond the
