Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I read with interest
the letter of Mrs. w. <. in The
Times Thursday.
She hit the truth all the way.
There surely is something wrong in
town and state. How about school
books for three children in common
school and one in second-year high
school costing around $23? How
about a divorced widow trying to
take care of family Of five on so
week. having to buy these books?
She gets SO support from the
father; no more. She has proved
capable and worthy Of good job,
and should have a mans wages, for
irving to take fathers and mothers
part. But can she get it? No, she
has no pull-or bull

Another DaY

~ORKY, in his great drama, said
VI that even the most hopeless
down-and-out is supported by some
dream and vision of release and
happy haven. Most Of the men in
the city's cellar wait for special
ship to scud in with flood tide.
There was one in rags and tat
tiers who spoke of his chance to win
some portion of a huge estate in
litigation. Another needed moth
ing more than safe conduct to
Cleveland before he once again
should be sitting pretty.
To each man there lay somewhere
beyond the horizons rim an earthly
Eldorado all his own. 1t can not
be said truthfully that those who
avail themselves Of the city's char
ity leave hope behind.
One acquaintance of the evening
told me that, though he had been
to the lodging house many times,
he never had given his right name
and never would. He thought that
this was true of most of the others.
And when I asked him why, he
said, "You don't think that when
I've got my pile I want 'em to have
me down in their books"

Ok Carl System Rules

MEANWHILE, the congress just
AVA elected will not take Office
until March 4, which means four
months more of the same old
crowd. OF course, that crowd may
take the hint and surprise people,
but the chances are that it will go
right on straddling, evading, ex-
planning and apoIogizing.
Whatever else may be said of
it, the Constitution of the United
States has more defects than the
eighteenth amendment. Not the
least of them is the provision by
which the American electorate is
compelled to wait from November
till March before its decisions be-
come effective.
That provision was all right for
an age in which it took a week to
get from Boston to Washington, but
what is the sense of trying to make
an OK cart government fit an auto
mobile civilization?
Here are scores of newly elected
senators and representatives all
dressed up and no place to go.
Here are scores of repudiated rep
resentatives permitted to run things
just as though they hadn't been
repudiated. Here are we, the peo-
pie, absolutely blocked for third
Of year.

| ANNIVERSARY
PADEREWSKPS BIRTH
November 6

ON Nov. 6, 1860, Ignaz Jan Pade-
~ rewski, Polish pianist, composer
and statesman, was born in Podolia,
Poland.
He began to play the piano at
3 and, at Z, was placed under local
teacher. After studying at War
saw and Berlin, he went to Vienna,
resolved to adopt the career OF a
virtuoso.
There he studied under a COM
patriot, LeSchetizky. At the end Of
three years, after making his debut
in Vienna, he Immediately took
rank among the foremost pianiSts Of
the world.
During and after the World war
PaderewSH took an important part
in securing the independence of Po-
land. He told the Poles in Amer
lea, THE vision of a strong and in
dependent Poland has always been
the lodestar of my existence
After signing the treaty Of peace
in behalf of the newly formed re-
public he was in 1919 chosen the
first premier of Poland.
Finding it impossible, however,
to conclude peace with the Soviet
government, Paderewski resigned
after short tenure of Office.
He then resumed his. career as a
pianist, taking up his residence In
California. At present he is on a
concert tour OF this country.

Progressiyes Win

To say that Tuesdays election a national
Democratic landslide is only part of the truth.
It also was a great progressive victory. No out
standing progressive was defeated Many progressives
we're reelected despite INSCRIPTIONS tactics by their
opponents. And new progreSsves were added to the
list of senator's representatives and Governors.
In most cases in which the election turned on lib
eral issues the progressives won. There was dis
tinct popular mandate for high tariff repeal against
stacking the United States supreme court with John
J. Parkers and in favor of government ownership III

There was cleaning out of several candidates who
long had succeeded in making political capital Of re-
ligious and racial bgotry
Here are of the progressive victories:
Senator Norris of Nebraska, sometimes described as
the most valuable single force in national affairs won
over the combined efforts Of the Republican machine,
the Democratic machine and the power interests The
unsuccessful attempt to trick him out OF the Repuo-
lican nomination by putting up another George W.
Norris" an unknown grocery clerk, is well remembered
Senator Couzens the mult-mllionaire Republican
progressive from Michigan, took the primary and the

effective on issues involving taxation and communica

Senator Walsh of Montana, despite his dry leaning

is the man who led in the Teapot Dome expose and
launched the investigation of utility company finances
and propaganda.
Senator Borah perhaps the most widely known
of the Republican progressive group, was an easy
winner

the fact that two of the progressive senators-Pne
Of Oklahoma and McNfaster Of South Dakota-were
defeated; and that Scha of Minnesota yet may lose

One More Doctor

TINE last threat gave me pause.
Il AS a recently reformed hypo-
chondriac I hope from now on to
see as few doctors as possible.
But when I said this to my lodg-
ing house scout he answered: ut
won't be any trouble. You just go
in to see the doctor, and he'll ask
you, How do you feel?' and you
come right back at him and say,
oh, I feel all right That's the
medical examination"
By first-hand experience 1 can
not say whether this is an accurate
report. In. the annex to which we
were assigned there was neither bath
nor fumigation nor any prying by
physicians.
Of course, there was a question
naire. There always is a question:
naire. No institution, private or
public, omits that. Hungry met ask
for bread, and we give them ques-
tionnaire.

Far Behind Times

IT'S ridiculous, when you come to
l. think of it, but it represents a
tradition which taints our entire
government, which encourages the
very smugness and complacency
that did so much to cause this par
ticular upheaval, and which makes
it peculiarly difficult to get quick or
effective action in cases of emer-
gency.
The technique of politics is about
forty years behind times in Amer
lea. There would be a riot if the
corner grocery store attempted to
function on such methods as we
glorify for Washington. A house
wife sixteen miles out in the coun-
try can get yeast cake delivered
over muddy roads quicker than the
federal government can formulate
a plan for relieving hungry people,
much less deliver the goods
Henry Ford could start building
a new plant after we had elected a
new congress and not only get it
finished, but produce 100000 cars
before that congress took office.

Two Men of the Hour

y EFERRING to some of the more
y practical details, Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York
easily is the man of the hour as
far as Democrats are concerned. 1t
is difficult to see how the Demo-
cratic party can avoid nominating
him for President in 1882, and
southern drys might as well recon-
Gle themselves to the probability.
BY the same token, Dwight w.
Morrow is the man Of the hour as
far as Republicans are concerned,
which means a bleak and diSap-
pointing prospect, not only for the
old guard, but for Mr.. Hoover.
With two such vets out in front
and with substantial wet gains in
both house and senate, the first i'm
pulse is to regard the prohibition
issue as on a rapid road to settle
ment.
But let's not be foolishIy opti-
mistic. 1t still is far cry from the
present lineup to an actual wet ma
jority in congress, much less to
thirty-SiX wet states.

Cloud of Stars

TINE range in brightness between
a stars of different magnitudes
is such that each grade is 252 times
as bright as the magnitude which
follows:
That is, a star Of the first magni-
tude is 2.52 times as bright as one
of the second magnitude, a second
magnitude star is 252 times as
bright as third magnitude one,
and so on.
1t can be shown, therefore, from
the laws of optics that if the stars
we're distributed uniformly through
space, there ought to be 1893 times
as many stars of each magnitude
as there are of the preceding ones.
That is, there ought to be 1893
times as many second magnitude
stars as first magnitude stars; there
ought to be 1893 times as many third
magnitude stars as there as second
magnitude ones, and so on.
New studies of the heavens have

crease. For the brighter stars, the
rate Of increase is about three fold.
This is less than the required
theoretical ratio, which is almost
four-fold. And as we approach the
fainter stars, the rate Of increase
gradually becomes smaller and
smaller.
Astronomers feel that only one
logical conclusion can be drawn
from these facts, namely, that We
are not dealing with an infinite
number of stars scattered through
space, but with a definite aggrega-
ton or organization Of stars.
It is an indication, say the as
tronomers, that we are in the midst
of a limited cloud Of stars.

Indiana Speaks

The people Of Indiana have passed Juog-
ment upon the state administration.
They have rendered verdict of guilty
upon the charge of maladministration and
political selfishness.
Today there will be an effort to pass the
blame to President Hoover. Some small share
may be paid to the general protest against
the tariff and to present economic conditions.
But the vote was too general so to be ex-
planned and certainly in the face of the plea
of every orator to give certificate OF char
acter to the administration of state affairs,
those who now find themselves discredited
hardly can claim that the people were ignor-
ant of state affairs.
Had such been the case, the wrath of the
voter would have been turned solely against
candidates for congress.
It is more probably true that many of
the candidates for congress on the Repub-
lican ticket can attribute their defeat to the
widespread disgust and disapproval of state
affairs than can local or state candidates ex-
plain their downfall to the protest against
Hoover.
Both were unpopular AS between them,
it probably was horse race in Indiana. The
incoming state administration has won
derful opportunity, especially as it will con-
troll the house of representatives in the next
legislature.
It will require no very deep digging on
the part of investigating committees to dis
cover the cause of many of the things which
Governor Leslie called 'carelessness" in his
administration.
There also is opportunity for really con-
structive program. The first pledge that
must be redeemed is the passage of an in
come tax law. Public sentiment Endorsed the
law. 1t will force more equitable system
of raising revenues, relieve the property
owner on farms and in cities, and force those
who have escaped to help support the gov
eminent
The second pledge which played no small
part was the promise of old age pensions in
stead of sordid poorhouses for the aged,
whose only crime is lack of money. That
movement, led by the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, can not be forgotten in an hour of
NICLOIys III Was d plCuSC w Vic PSOPAO w
change the laws for caring for the poor that
were inherited from the days of Queen Eliza
beth.
If elections can be lost by political mis-
takes, perhaps the defeated candidates will
ponder on the wisdom of the action of the Re-
publican state committee when it tried to in
ject religion into politics by paid advertise
ments, and racial hate by letters upon its own
stationery.
To the victorious Democrats the people
are looking for not only better adminiStra-
ton of public affairs than they have had for
years, but for a strong, constructive program
of reform of social and economic evils. In
that task they will have the best wishes and
the support of all good citizens.
They will be judged by their success or
failure to achieve these results.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ


Stars Can Be Counted, Belief
of Astronomers.
lONE of the great aims Of modern
~ astronomy, and an essential
prelude to g complete understanding
of the stellar universe, is q census
of the stars.
1t is a task upon which astrono-
mers have been working since 1887,
the year in which plans for great
international Photographic chart
and catalog Of stars we're launched
by the astronomers of the world.
Though the work has been going
faster in recent years, much remains
to be done.
To the average layman, particu-
iarly one who recalls the poets re-
mark about the countless stars, the
task seems infinite. And indeed, il
the poet were right. the task would
be endless. But fortunately the poet
is not quite correct. The stars are
not countless.
On a clear moonlesS night. the
stars N the sky do seem countless.
But patient astronomers, even in
ancient times, succeeded in count
ing them. The number of stars Wis
ible to the unaided eye in both the
northern and southern hemisphere
totals about 5000.
The ancients devised a system of
grading these stars, which, with
some changes still is in use. The
brightest stars are known as the
first magnitude stars. There are
about twenty of these.
The next grade is known as sec
ond magnitude stars, and so on.
Stars Just visible to the unaided eye
are known as the sixth magnitude
stars.

of every hue to remember that If
they want to catch a man they must
get him before he goes over the
edge of the cliff.
At supper time my newspaper
friend and companion made some
remark about Hoover prosperity"
and one Of the frustrated across

Hoover couldn't help it"
He followed that observation with
a defense of things as they are,
which might readily have consti-
tuted a column for Calvin Coolidge.

general proposition, the Republicans

Democrats a chance.
Because neither party has work

can lie down and pass the buck. On
the other hand, each commands
sufficient strength to force con-
structive action. The country has
said as plainly as the ballot box per-

as imagination carries them.
On the whole, it seemed to me
that New York City was doing a
fairly good job with woefully in
adequate facilities. Supper 1 had
not expected. There was more stew
than beef in the dish I got, but it
was clean and palatable.
Most coffee seems about the same
to me, and there was nothing out of
the way in the municipal portion
allotted. Bread and apple sauce
completed the menu.
