LA TOILETTE SEES
FUTURE FOR PARTY.
In Dinner Address, Urges
Progressives Not to Be Dis
heartened by Defeat.

An appeal to Progressives not to be
disheartened by the defeat of a year
ago. but to look forward to the next
campaign, was sounded by Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin
in an address at the dinner rendered
him by labor leaders at Rauscher's
L st night.
The banquet was arranged by
Labor. trade paper of the railroad
tically all of labor's chieftains in
Washington.
Summarizes Fathers Record.
The young Senator from Wisconsin
devoted most of his speech to sum
narration of the long career of his
father. the late Senator La Toilette,
and the legislation for which he
worked. He then made this reference
TO the present and future:
Il have recited this brief resume
of the constructive achievements of
the Progressive group in the hope that
it will stir the determination of those
within the sound of my voice. as it
has stirred me, to fight TO the last
ditch to hold the ground which has al
ready been won and to carry the
movement forward into the future, :"
he said. Some may say that the Pro
gresSiveS are in hopeless minority;
that nothing can be accomplished. To
this l answer that the Progressives
have always been in the minority in
Congress, but by consistent and ag-
gressive fighting they have achieved
this long record of legislative accom-
plishment. / believe that we should go
forward now with the same spirit of
determination and with the same con-
fldence of ultimate Vindication and
achievement which the Progressives
have shown in the past. This is not
the time to surrender. Reaction has
been in the saddle before. MajoritieS
have tried to crush the minority in
other times. The only danger the
Progressive cause faces is that its sup
portera should become discouraged
and give up the fight.
Cites Appeal to ProgressIves.
In the hour of defeat a year ago
last November Robert NJ. La Toilette
issued IA call to Progressives to con-
tinue the struggle for economic and
political justice. His undying faith
in the people enabled him to see that
truth may lose battle, but has never
lost a war. If Progressives carry for
ward the fight now, millions in the
land who believe in the move

command.
"Progressives will close ranks for
the next battle. We are enlisted for
life in the struggle to bring Govern
ment back to the people. We will
not quit and we will not compromise!
Our task is great. but our cause is
greater. Forward. Progressives. to

GARRETTP P. SERVISS EXPLAINS
LIFE ON SLEEPING STAR
World May Sink Into Radium Furnace But Not
For Hundred Million Years

; away into space from the surface,
amounts to about one calory per
square meter per minute, an
amount too small to affect the
climate or the weather.
Apparently it is invariable.
But is 1t really so? Is the earth
slowly getting cooler within or is
1t perchance, getting hotter? What
has the heat-producing radium in
side the earth to say to that!
Professor Jolly, speaking for the
radium, gives a startling answer.
He shows by calculation that the
heat must be increasing, though
we may not notice it at present,
and that in time to come the
whole crust of the earth will be
melted First it will glow like a
red-hot ball; then the tempera-
ture will rise so high that the
color will turn to yellow. and
later to white, whereupon the VIOLA
tilted elements will surround the
earth with an incandescent atmos-
phere composed, like the sun OF
metallic vapors intermingled with
hydrogen derived from the disso-
citation OF the waters of the
oceans.
But, when that step Ia attained,
the radiation from the blazing
little earth-star, increasing as the
fourth power of the temperature,
will gain upon the increase of
heat from the radio-activity until
an equilibrium is attained: after
which the temperature will fall

Upon this extinguished. dead. or

den to suppose that living forms
will develop once more, and so
restore the earth to a condition
like that in which we see 1t.
From the viewpoint of life, the
earth is re-created every time 1T
passes from the incandescent Tor
solar, or star like phase to the
geologic Tor inctusted phase.
But from the broader. viewpoint of
these successive phases are
merely periodic changes of state,
resembling those through which
all celestial bodies pass.
The elements upon which life
itself depends may also be sup"
posed to survive the fiery ordeal.
though in a ASSOCIATED state
and when the conditions suitable
for their reconciliation reappear
vital energy revives, and new liv-
ing forms are evolved.
How many once living earth
crusts are buried in the great
core of metamorphosed rock that
biologists find underlying the
deepest fossil-bearing layer of
the globe as it is today? No
answer. And how long will it
be before this present life-adorned
crust melts and sinks into that
awful radium furnace? Answer
