ca ASHINGTON, Jan. 3.--Life is
lIWI possible on Mars. So says
- DIR. w. w. Coblentz, ply
sicist of the United States Bureau of
Standards Coblentz expressed his
views before the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement OF Science
in session here.
He bases his opinion on studies of
the temperature of Mars which he
has made with special heat.measur>
| Ing device of his own invention.
known as the thermocouple.
His opinion is expected to stir up
q vast amount OF discussion in the
world of science because he arrives
at an opinion Of temperature con-
ditions on Mars which differs
radically from the opinion which
most astronomers have always held.
What about life on Mars" says
DR.. Coblentz.
THAT depends upon our point Of
view-whether we think of palm
trees growing In our tropics or
MOSES and lichens which grow on
the apparently bare piles Of vol
canic cinders of Arizona and under
our Arctic SHOWS.
Fairly Warm
ssOur measurements show that for
a few hours at MONDAY on the equa-
tor Of Mars the surface temperature
is not unlike that of Washington on
some bright day in March,
But consider the great daily va
ration In temperature, amounting to
perhaps 100 degrees and the exceed
ingly hot nights. Water is not pres.
ent on Mars in sufficient quantity to
form permanent lakes.
Hence with MONDAY tempera-
lures Of only to Is degrees even on
the hottest spots on the squator and
with temperatures Sc low that prob
tably all the water vapor freezes out
/. Of the atmosphere at night, 1t is
4 evident that while vegetable and
il perhaps animal life appears to be
possible on Mars it must be adapted
to Withstand prolonged drought and
intense cold. Moreover. with such
rapid temperature change the reac
| uOnS must De rapid.
with most Of the surafce at arc
tic temperatures, it is reasonable to
assume that If vegetable life SINH
lar to ours can exist on Mars, il
must be like the MOSES and lichens
which thrive under our arctic SHOWS
Thawlng and Freezing
Apparently, life on the equatorial
region Of Mars is process Of thaw

forenoon and reversal OF the
process in the afternoon.

BOSSES VS.. VOTERS

bOOOGO va. VOII1Ho
O1NI1Y a glance at the list of individuals who are
IL working for the repeal Of the Indiana primary
law is necessary for understanding of the move
ment.
The list includes a Governor, three ex-Governors,
two former State party charmen, two national com
mtteemen and large number of political bosses of
varying degrees of Importance Every single sgner is
active in politics.
These individuals propose to do away entirely
with the primary elections except the election of
delegates to the various conventions to go back
to the old convention system.
These are the men-and now there are few
women-who sit in back rooms and decide who shall
and who shall not be candidates. There has seldom
been an instance when State, county or city conven
ton ever named anyone not approved by the par
particular bosses who run the convention
These bosses have not been able to pick candi-
dates in primaries and therefore they wish to do
away with primaries
flHE people of Indiana became SO tired of the rot
IL ten convention system that they made the pri-
mary almost universal They claimed the right to
name their public officials.
Now the political bosses are attempting to take
this right away from them.
They have attempted it before and they have
failed. They will fail again.
There is one thing which citizens of Indiana prize
above everything else and that is the franchise One
need only observe the fact that higher percentage
Of eligible citizens vote in Indiana than in any other
State
This is a government by the people. IF the people
make Mistakes as they have made them in the past
they the mistakes of the people and not those of
few who dictate party nominees.
I19lNIY person who has observed political con-
III vention in action can realize to what extent the
political bosses go to work their will
Seldom is any consideration given to quaifca-
ton of candidates Everything is based on exped-
iency
Candidates are S'spotted' over the State or the
district IN order that many as possible shall be
pleased Trades continuously in the air and many
are executed
''You vote for my man and I'll vote for yours
is the slogan of the political convention.
Good government can not possibly grow out Of
such system.
It can only result ip corruption and sharp polit-
ical practices for politics is the only consideration
Nobody In a convention ever was heard to men
ton the qualifications of candidate except in
hoWery speeches intended for public consumption
The only qualification man must have to be
nominated is to be right with the crowd CONTROL
ing the convention.
He must be right with the men and women
who signed the bipartisan appeal to the Legislature
to abolish the right of citizens of Indiana to chose
their public servants.
But this is impossible of accomplishment
Legislators must still be fright with the people
zhom they and they must serve all the people,
not just the few OF the type who signed that appeal
