Gone Are the DAYS

GAS outlined to the United Press the administra-
ton hopes that the senate committee will select a
hard-htting counsel from the staff of the depart
ment of justice and then compose itself more as a
jury than as an inquistoral body while the counsel
goes after facts
So reads dispatch in connection with the
investigation of w. B. Shearers big navy propaganda,
paid for by the shipbulders.
What a change in Washington that suggests. Not
forgotten the recent years in which the senate
could not any degree rely the active coopera-
ton of the justice department in getting to the bot
tom of any situation threatening the public welfare.
Indeed, even youngest voters can recall instances
when the senate's Investigations were aimed neces-
sariy at the department of justice itself.
The White House attitude above described appears
to promise better day in public affairs.

A WIT has accused the scientists

Little has been done to clear the

right and light consists of both
waves and bullets
1t is impossible to make a picture
of such situation. And Professor
A. S. Eddington, famous scientist

we will have to give up our attempts
to make pictures or mechanical
models of such fundamental things

Senator La Toilette speaks truly when he says that

strong opposition. Instead of outwardy defeating
the measure, those opposing it provided amend

called up during morning hour and be adopted if the
senate really wants an investigation.

Another United States. Why Not?

What it may do to US temporarily won't make
any difference in the long run, but for civilization
itself the United States of Europe as proposed by
Premier BRAND and Endorsed by Foreign Minister
streseman of Germany is wise step in the right
direction
If the states of Europe can establish stable eco
nonic government with practical free trade it ex
lists between the states of Union it won't make
much difference to political government except to
bring it under the domination of economic govern
ment
AS We have been living under such domination for
several generations and have prospered we haven't
any kick coming. united economic Europe will do
more to pull us down of our tariff high horse than
all the argument American free traders can make;
end We need good pulling down.
The best argument protectionsts have had is the
difference between wages and living standards here
and in Europe. 1t will take time to raise European
wages and living standards up to the level in this
country but it is desirable for all concerned that it
be done. Reasonable protection for American labor
in the meantime is desirable. but ultimately it ought
not to be necessary.
il Certainly there is no necessity now for any such
orgy of greed as is exempfed in the Hawley tariff
bill and what it will be if the Shoots have their way
in the senate. In the meantime such resistance
as the United States of Europe would provide will
elp bring us to our senses and to appreciation of
the important fact that are merely part of the
civilized world and not the whole thing.
An economic league of nations doubtless will func
tion long before Woodrow Wilson's beautiful dream of
a political league comes true. Herbert Hoover is
President Of the United States but is king,
here as everywhere else, in commercial and indus
trial world.
When United States of Europe gets well under
way United States of Asia will be in sight, and
finally a United States of the world. Business is
doing it. Political government will have to fall in.

REASON By Ff HzSB1s

IF youhave any doubts about the value of advertis
l. ing, just ponder the fact that Mr.. Coolidge has
made 100000 from his writings the first six months
since leaving the White House.
But for the advertising the presidency gave him,
Mr., Coolidge would have difficulty in holding down
the job of Northampton correspondent for the Boston
Bugle.

of every civilized state to pin bunch OF lilacs upon

When people visit President Hoover at his retreat
in the Virginia mountains he puts them to work on
the dams and they find it great deal like playing
golf.
IF you are inclined to be cynical the way Euro
pean nations have treated Uncle Sam, here's a
tonic for you. Five years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Harry

a broken leg and took care of it and to prove his
gratitude the collie twice has saved their baby son
from death, once from fire and once from an auto

Another Sound Policy

&, The policy of the Indian bureau in the future will
be to send as many Indian children possible to the
public schools and gradually do away with the gov
eminent boarding schools which have come in for
so much criticism during the senate investigation.
In announcing this new policy Secretary Wilbur
kays he believes it will be much better for the Indian
child to attend a public school, establish contact
with white children and learn their ways and philos
ophy of life. When his education is completed Will
bur says the Indian child will be ready to go out in
the world and make his living.
Figures for the fiscal 1928 show that of 76491 In
dian children eligible only 3416S attended public
school and 11,419 did not attend school at all. The
remainder either went to government or private
schools.
The cost of government boarding schools, attended
BY only 1854 pupils in 1929 is estimated for 1890 at
sSs9OOOO.
If the government Indian schools had been sue
cessfu some reason might be found for opposing the
Wilbur policy but they have been just the reverse By
sending the Indian children to government schools the
Indian bureau in many not only has failed to
educate them but has permitted them to contract
disease and to receive brutal treatment if stories told
to the senate Indian investigating committee to
be believed. Only a few of the government schools
have been successful.
In Oklahoma more than 60 per cent of the Indian
children attend public schools and in that state the
Indians are said to be faring much better than in
others
The Indian adult or child. is a part of our popu-
lation and entitled to the advantages and same
opportunities as any other citizen He can get these
best by going through the public schools. We COM
mend Secretary Wilbur for naugurating the new
policy.

A Veterans Mystery

that George Marco of Schenectady, N. Y, carried to
his grave with him.
Marco recently died. in his 8Os After his death it
discovered that he had been Civil veteran
with distinguished record-a fact that he had kept
secret throughout his life For forty years he had had
a job in Schenectady armory He watched the SOL
diers march off to the with Spain, and he watched
them march off for the with Germany; but he
revealed to any of them that he too had been
a soldier.
Why did he keep that secret? Service in the Civil
is something that most men are highly proud of.
What hidden reason made George Marco keep his war
record dark secret throughout his life?

INDIA, long center of political
Il interest, now takes the center Of
the spotlight in the world of science.
A new theory concerning the nature
and origin Of light just has been
expounded before the Indian
science congress by Professor G. ".
Raman, its president.
The theory represents eight years
work by Raman and his colleagues
and students, conducted in a num-
Der of Indian universities and IN
stttutions.
Scientists in all parts Of the world
are making plans to repeat the eX
periments and test the conclusions
Of the Hindu savant.
The world is in curious state of
affairs today concerning its under
standing of the nature of light.
One set of experiments points
conclusively to the fact that light
consists of waves in space, resenl-
bling in many ways the waves on a
| lake.
Another set of experiments points
with equal conclusiveness to the
fact that light consists of little par
ticles or bullets, known technically
as quanta.

Wanted: Vare's Resignation

Now that the senate conservatives by skillful
raneuverng have delayed for at least three months
longer the vote which eventually will deny seat to
William S. Ware of Pennsylvania that gentleman has
a chance to save himself and every else lot of
trouble
He should resign.
For two years and half his has prevented the
people of his state from having equal representation
in the senate His friends Wednesday delayed a
ate vote on the plea-frst made when he suffered
stroke more than year ago-that he still is too i'll to
appear and defend himself. If he is sick now, pre-
sumabIy he would be able to undertake active
ate duties for many months even though seated.
Therefore he should withdraw now, so his sue
cessor can be appointed
Meanwhile the separate investigation growing out
of the election of William B. Wilson for the
seat can go on; it has no direct bearing the adj
instability of Ware on the basis of the charges made
against him.
The Pennsylvania primary of 1926 resulted in
charges of fraud corruption at the polls and the
excessive expenditure of money. special senate in
vestgating committee created soon after the primary
found that some 100000 had been spent in Wares
behalf and evidence to support charges of voting If
reguarites.
The committee recommended that Ware be denied
his seat.
The senate in the end hardly do other than
expel him-but perhaps at the expenditure of great
deal Of debate and time which should be devoted to
legislative business and certainly at the cost of much
embarrassment to Ware

PROHIBITION PARTY
Sept. IL

ON Sept. II. 1869, the National
~ Prohibition party was organ
lied at a convention in Chicago.
The new party was the result of
the failure Of advocates of temper
ance to force a prohibition plank
upon either of the great national
parties.
In the state elections of the next
three years candidates were nomi-
mated by the party, but received
relatively few votes.
The national convention met in
Columbus, O., Feb. %, 1872, and
nominated James Black of Pennsyl-
vania and John Russell of Michigan
as the prohibition candidates for
President and ce-President, res
pectively.
The convention adopted plat
form which, besides advocating pro-
hibition, declared for woman stuff
rage, a direct popular vote for
President and President, a
sound currency, the encouragement
of immigration and reduction Of
immigration and a reduction OF
transportation rates.
In the ensuing election, the
party's candidates received only
5,067 votes.

party, the Voice, was established

AS with the railroads thirty years

grasping promoters are wholly to

The vast majority of business men

Prosperity is like liquor-some can

few who can not. Those few make
all the trouble.
Irritating as the meddlesomeness
of reformers may be, it is no worse
than the neddlesomeness of those
who want more, and still more.
The craze for organizing, spec
ulating and intriguing has brought
us to the brink of a precipice.
One can understand the lack of
self control on the part of those

C0I0rS

TINE experiments which Profess
IL sor Raman performed we're
suggested to him by the Compton
experiment. He wished to see if any
results similar to the Compton eff
feet could be obtained with visible
light
He passed sunlight through violet
glass, thus screening out all but the
violet light
He then permitted the violet light
to pass through various liquids such
as water, oil, and so on. His expert
ment showed that part of the loght
which came through the liquid had
changed in color from violet to
green.
Since color is the result of the
frequency of the light wave or guam
tum, whichever you choose to con-
side it, this experiment means that
the light has changed its frequency
in going through the liquid.
At first glance, it would appear
that since this phenomen is SINH
lar to the Compton effect in many
ways that it holsters up the guam
tum theory.
But Professor Raman himself
chooses to take the opposite view
He seeks to explain his own results
on the basis of the wave theory and
to insist that as a result, it should
be possible to explain the Compton
effect also on the wave basis.
He believes that the light waves
entering the liquid affect the atoms
of it in such way as to cause fluc-
tuations of their electrical condi-
ton and that as a result of this,
the atoms generate new light waves.
Compton himself has described
the controversy between the wave
and quantum theory as a football
game with the score 0 to 0 and the
ball in the middle Of the field.
AS yet, it is not even clear in
which direction Professor Raman
had advanced the ball.
