A State Recnnsiders

The state Of Washington is pioneer dry state.
1t has had five years of the prohibition expert
ment than most of the country.
AS a result of that long experience, both major
political parties have decided that prohibition Is
failure and must be modified repealed.
The Republican state convention last month put
the following plank in its platform:
1T has become apparent that, in spite of ire
mendous and costly efforts strict enforcement of
those Cprohibition) laws is uneconomic and I'M
possible" Therefore the convention demanded such
modification of the present laws on intoxicating
liquor ss will provide lawful of such liquor,
to the end that the trafhc in liquor may be con-
troled properly and its regulated by law that
can be universally respected and enforced"
Now the Democratic state convention has declared:
IN order to rid the country of the evils of organ
lied crime and general dsrespect for law which have
followed federal assumption Of police powers of the
states we favor repeal of the eighteenth amendment
and return to the states Of the exclusive control Of
all prohibition laws inside the boundaries of each
stale. -.
pending the repeal of the eighteenth amendment,
We favor repeal Of the Vostead law, the Jones i've
and-ten law and legislation by congress providing
that the federal prohibition agents shall be limited
in their duties to prevent the interstate commerce
of intoxicating liquors. and that persons accused Of
violating any prohibition laws, federal or state be
tried solely in the state courts of the county where
the odense occurred"

Hollywood SnOOpers

Almost any time we expect TO hear that Holly
wood movie stars have pledged themselves to lrves-
tigate the morals of ministers before attending church
services The Hollywood ministers have pledged them
selves to scrutinze the morals of the movie colony
and warn their ocks not to look at pictures of those
found unworthy.
1t will be surprising if the movement does not ex-
tend farther.
Doubtless some one will suggest it would be good
idea to investigate the morals of congressman before
we decide whether to obey the laws they make.
Perhaps should stop at the threshold of every
store and demand a certificate that the proprietor
leads proper life before we enter and buy mer-
chandise
Perhaps We should refuse to open the covers of
book until we have been assured that the man or
woman who wrote it never had a sip of any,
thing stronger than tea.
Perhaps, but we aren't going to. We know better.

FringeS

TN the actual experiment, the in
l. terferometer is rotated. This
means that the positions of the
arms with reference to the drift Of
theh ether are changing continu-
ally.
This change should manifest itself
in p continuous back and forth
shifting of the interference fringes
in The eyepiece of the Interior
omoter.
The ether-drift or more exactly,
the amount Of motion of the earth
through the ether, can be calculated
from the amount of the shift OF
the fringes.
The scientific world interpreted
the experiment in 1887 as showing
no ether-drift, a surprising and I'M
expected result which led to the
formulation of Einstein's theory Of
relatively.
Einstein's theory holds that it is
not possible to measure fundamental
motion such as the experiment.
sought to measure.
He holds that it is possible only
to measure the relative motion be-
tween objects, as for example, be-
tween an auto and the street over
which it is travelling, or between the
earth and the sun.
Einstein's theory holds also that
the speed of light always is a con-
slant, irrespective of the motion OF
the observer.
But DR.. Miller, who succeeded DR..
Nicholson as professor Of physics at
Case has been carrying on expert
ments with the interferometer since
1906. He insists that wrong in
depreciation was placed on the 1857
experiment.
He insists that he has obtained
positive proof of an ether-drift, that
is, of an absolute motion of the
earth through space.
1t will be interesting, therefore, to
ssee what conclusion DR.. Nicholson
reaches.

Speed

PURPOSE of the experiment is to
L compare the speeds Of the two
halves of the beam of light.
The underlying theory is as fol-
lows: Light waves are travelling on
the ether of space. The earth is
moving through the ether. There
fore the measurements Of light in
different directions ought to come
out differently because of the dis
tortions introduced by the move
ment of the earth.
Such measurements, however, are
not SO easily made. For one thing,
no method is known for measuring
the speed of light in one direction.
Measurements can be made only by
rejecting light to mirror and back
again.
For another, the speed of light
is approximately 10000 miles a sec
ond and SO any difference within a
measurable distance will be ex-
tremely small.
In the interferometer, the two
halves of the beam of light are
reunited in an eyepiece where they
form pattern of light and dark
fringeS known as an interference
pattern.
Now let us suppose that the inter-
ferometer has been set so that one
arm is in the direction of the earth's
movement through the ether. The
other is then at right angles to it.
The half of the beam of light go
ing across this arm ought then to
be slower than the other half.
This is understood more easily by
thinking of the earth as standing
still and the ether drifting by it.
The one half of the beam then is
like a boat which goes down a
stream with the current and back
against it.
The other half is like boat 60
ing from one shore to the other and
back. The second boat has to fight
the current both ways and so is
slowed up more than the first boat
which merely loses on the return
trip what it gained on the down trip.

We're Not Consistent

XXTE Americans claim to oppose
VVthat system, though some Of
the things we have done hardly
square with such preachment.
Accidentally, we have stood for
the integrity of China and thirty
years ago we fought war with
Spain for the alleged purpose of
liberating Cuba, though we took the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Guam.
We refuse to grant the Philip
pines independence, on the ground
that they are not ready for 1t, and
employ the same excuse in regard
to statehood for Porto Rico. AS for
Guam, it is in the middle of the
Pacific and contains only 5000 peo-
pie, so we run it with a military
governor.

dwell on such differences as exist
between the European and Ameri-

ened people, but for the fact that
those people have viewpoint Of
their own which will become more
and more important as the years
go by.

SCIENCE
Famous Experiment on Which
Einstein Theory Is Based
VIII Be Repeated.
BY DAVID DIETZ

.nROFESSOR ALBERT A. MICH
IL ELSON, the "high priest OF
light" now at Mt. Wilson observa-
tory in California to make new
determination of the speed OF light,
plans to repeat the famous expert
ment upon which the Einstein
theory Of relatively is based.
This experiment, known in scien-
tiic literature as the Nicholson
Morley expert lent, has been the
center of considerable scientific
discussion as the result Of the long
series of painstaking tests by Pro-
fessor Dayton c. Miller Of Case
School of Applied Science Of Cleye-
land.
In 1887, DR.. Nicholson, then pro-
fessor of physics at Case, under
took an experiment in collabora-
ton with DR.. Edward W. Morley,
then professor of chemistry at
Western Reserve university.
1t was an attempt to measure the
speed of the earth through the ether
of space. The apparatus, a varia-
ton of a device invented some years
before by Nicholson, became known
as the Nicholson Morley interior
ometer.
1t consisted of great steel cross
f1oated on pool of mercury SO as
to rotate in a horizontal plane. The
arms of the cross were twelve feet
long. A system of mirrors mounted
on them split geam of light into
two and reflected one-half back and
fourth along each arm of the cross.

Thrilling as our achievements

Times Readers
Voice ViezOS

Editor Times-Apparently as 9
stimulus for mental gymnastics, one
prominent cartoonist frequently
amuses his readers with conflicting
proverbs. Thus he shows that life
is not lived by rule of thumb.
And, judging from headlines that
recently have f1ared forth on front
pages of daily newspapers, business
is just as prone to ignore its fun
damental law of supply and demand
to find a more profitable proverb.
AS case in point, the bakers just
have decided that, because wheat
and rye are plentiful and the cost
the lowest since the war, the selling
price of bread will not come down.
At least, that's the story the head
lines tell.
A simple analysis of the recent
drop in wheat and other grains, as
it affects the baking industry Ibid
I hear some one say trustO indi-
Gates that the main raw product,
wheat, is selling for two-thirds the
price OF a year ago; the coSt OF Ia
Dor is no higher, if not less, and
overhead expense certainly remains
fixed. And yet the price of wheat
follows the lead Of overhead?
Is it not reasonable to ask who
is pocketing the 313s cents a bushel,
which represents the fall in wheat
price during the last year? Are the
bakers going to pay increased wages
70 their employees? Are they going
70 give us a finer finished product
"a more palatable loaf? Or may
we expect to see the newspapers
and magazines carrying more ads
to increase sales-and the size Of
their bankrolls?
Truly, the bakers must be setting
their prices on the assumption that
Barnum's philosophy on humankind
is the best known barometer for
price fixing, and that the urge to
merge has rendered the Sherman
antitrust law as Anticipated as that
old proverb, live and let live"
