Ras Taffari's Wisdom

When on Nov. Q at Adds Ababa, amid East African
pomp and circumstance young Ras Taffari is
crowned emperor of Abyssnia, the world will watch
the coronation of one of it's wisest though youngest
monarchs.

pletely surround his broad and unexpected land

How comes such wisdom on such young shoulders?
Perhaps because in Taffaris veins flows the purple
blood of historys wisest monarch old King Solomon

ant of Menelek son of the Queen Of Sheba and
solomon the Wise. He has listened to his many times
great-grandfather expound the wisdom of the ages.
Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil
eye neither desire thou his dainty meats" quoth
Taffari's royal progenitor 5000 years ago. Taffar
made no "entangling alliances"
"A wise king scattereth the wicked and brngeth
the wheel over them," said Soomons proverbs Tafari
preserved his land by dividing the greedy powers

Air Traffic Laws

A national conference to thresh out the confusing
lack of uniformity in state aeronaucal laws has been
called by Secretary Of Commerce Lamont to meet in
Washington in December.
Contradictory and confusing regulation of aero
nautics by some states has had distinct retardng
effect upon aviation in general number of states
have adopted bodily the federal laws governing
nautics 1t is to be hoped that through this confer
ence all states can be shown the necessity for uniform
legislation.
The muddle of local and municipal traffic laws
which confronts the touring motorist is bad enough,
but the arpane is too fast vehicle to be bound down
by such red tape.
AS the commerce department says "Once air
plane in the air. there be distinction between
it's interstate and intrastate character 1t must be
equally airworthy, the pilot must be equally competent
and the flying rules must be observed rigdly in
one state as in another"
Some states have legislated to the disadvantage of
aviation penazng it until it avoids the state. Others
are too lenient licensing fers who have been turned
down by the federal government incompetent.
Two representatives of each of the forty-eight
Governors will attend the Washington conference 1t
is to be hoped they will take back home the necessary
impression that their states not afford to do other
than egslate uniformly for aeronautcs in line with
federal regulations.

Help for ]. Ham

THE most dramatic contest is
Il between Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick and James Hamilton Lewis for
the Illinois Senatorship, considering
that she is backed by the Chicago
Tribune, and that Illinois is nor
mally Republican by at least half a
million, Mrs. Mccormick ought to
win hands down, but she will be
singularly fortunate if she wins at
all.
To begin with, Big Bill Thompson,
Chicago's Republican mayor and
boss of a machine that justly could
be described as Tammany Hall in
reverse, has come out against her,
while Republican drys, whether
from honest conviction. or because
they were influenced" have put up
Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neil, who can
be depended on to drag 100000 or
perhaps 10000 votes away from the
regular ticket.
The irony of it is that, until the
last few days, Mr.. Lewis, the Demo-
cratic nominee, has been saying that
Mrs. Mccormick was the candidate
of the Thompson and city hall
crowd. Nor is he the least embar-
raised at finding himself the re-
cipient of that distinction. He can't
help 1t, you see, and why waste time
pretending to be sorry over what
one can't help?

World HarmonieS

TN 1918, he arrived at his third
l. law, which was published in 1919
in a book called "Harmonices mum
d." a Latin title meaning "Har-
monies of the World"
This law showed a relationship
among the planets which, while
rather involved, was exceedingly in
teresting.
1t stated that the squares Of the
times Of the revolution of any two
planets around the sun bore the
same ratio to each as did the cubes
of their average distances from the
sun.
AS Professor Florinan Cajori has
written, "Kepler's discoveries we're
made in the face of every form of
Encouragement health, finan-
ciaI enbarrassments, war condi-
tions and family troubles.
The achievement Of great results
under great difficulties entities him
to a place among the immortals."
Kepler and Calico, as already
noted, were contemporaries. While
Kepler was making his studies Of
planetary motions, Calico was car
rying on his great work with the
telescope, discovering the mountains
on the moon, the phases of Venus,
the four moons of Jupiter, the
unique nature of Saturn, and the
true nature of the Milky Way.
Between the two Of them, they
established the Copernican theory
upon a firm foundation and paved
the way for modern scientific re-
search.

CnmnIete the Victory

{ The magnificent army Of men and women
which drove Coffinism from the public
schools, which organized the great civic
crusade for the city manager law, which
banished Coffinism from the city hall, will
complete the job next Tuesday by driving
Cofinism from it's last intrenchment, in the
courthouse.
The men and women who sacrificed and
gave unstinted devotion to the city manager
movement have not forgotten that they were
robbed Of the fruits of their victory by Cot
fnism.
Nor does the taxpayer look at his tax bills
with complacency as he sees the mounting
cost of county government under Coffinism
Republican speakers have tried to dis
guise the issue, but there is but one issue in
this county and that is the complete over
throw of Coffinism.
Coffinism has done more than merely loot
the treasures and hand out special privi-
leges. 1t had corrupted the civic soul of this
city until the time of the great awakening
i'm the city manager crusade.
1t made servitude to a corrupt machine
the price of preferment for the politically
ambitious. 1t elevated those who gave I'M
questioning obedience to it's orders. It con-
sistently defeated those who dared even to
question the systems orders. Judge Collins
was the last example of what happened to a
rebel against Cofinism.
Every outward sign points to magnif-
icent victory for the same forces for good
which already have accomplished much.
There is every reason to believe that the
same forces will take from Coffin his last re-
naming power. The only notable desertion
was that of camp follower with bass drum
who joined the procession in the former
campaigns only when he feared the power of
public opinion.
Coffinism needs certain key positions, and
at all hazards his candidates for these Offices
must be defeated by the army of righteous
ness.
He needs a criminal court judge, sheriff,
a county clerk, who acts on the election
board, the county commissioners and the
county council, who handle the peoples
money
In the high purpose of rescuing these
offices from the grip of Coffinism, the same
army of righteousness again goes to battle.
1t is not Democratic army. 1t is civic
army of independent thinking citizens, of Re-
publicans who are Disguised at the base use
of their party name, of all those who ask
only honesty, efficiency and an equal chance
from government.

Morrow in Spotlight

TINE most impressive personality
Il thrown up by the seethe of our
political cross rips is that of Dwight
w. Morrow, running as wet Re-
publican for senator in New Jersey.
Since New Jersey is normally Re-
publican and abnormally wet, the
chances are that Mr.. MorroW'S
election was assured, when he re-
ceived the nomination after his
straightforward demand for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment. %
But something more is required
to explain the landslide which OBJ
viously is forming back of him. He
is thoughtful, brainy man who has
proved his capacity to get things
done. The fact that he could come
up through such hodgepodge as
we have been in, and that the plain
people recognize him for what he
was the moment he appeared, Is
doubly reassuring.
New Jersey is to be congratulated.
It was almost too much to expect
that she could give the country a

it a Wilson, but that seems to be
the good news.

The PEOPLE Awaken

UNDERNEATH the more or less
~ inchoate, confused, and neon
sistent jargon to which the present
campaign has degenerated, certain
definite trends are forming that
promise to be of nation wide sig
nif1cance.
First, there is the rapidly growing
sentiment against federal prohibi-
ton; second, people are beginning
to doubt the Victorian super
stition that the Republican party
holds mortgage on the secret of
prosperity; third, sharp cleavage
is developing between the so-called
progressive and conservative ele-
ments in each of the old parties.
Certain Democrats and Repub-
licanS are too much alike to stay
apart, while large groups in each
party are too divergent in their
views to stay together.
Men with ability to lead not only
will recognize, but be guided, by
these trends, and you can pick them
by that one fact.

In this study the mind is Just as
important, if not more so, than the

It is not well to surround the
Sleepless child with too many safe

If the child sees this elaborate
formula for its benefit, it soon will
come to insist on these things which
are, Of course, unnecessary in the

Obstruction of the nose by ade-

be an important factor in failure to

RiSking All

A SIDE fyom the fact that we
N have sense enough to realize
the nonexistence of sure things we
are sufficiently romantic not to de-
sire many such easy victories.
There is more fun in playing two
pair hard than sitting back and
plodding through a part, thrice ar
mored with a straight flush. In
deed, few people have told me that
with such a hand they would not
play for any comrades chips, but
would at once show down the cards
too strong for competition.
Such an attitude seems to me q
shade excessive. Probably I would
bet just once rather than dishonor
fate quite so propiJious.
And still l do enjoy the agony
which comes to us who play for
stakes above our heads. The man
who never CANDLES for more than
he can afford has missed one of the
most painful Of life's ecstasies.
Not, you understand, that would
present myself as a good loser. Sucn
a picture would not be true, nor
would it seem admirable to me.
In poker, golf and life in general

tide goes against them. The value
of competitive athletics is that they
take the place Of slaughter.
Golf, tennis, squash and handball
have come into favor directly with
the decline in dueling. There is no
point in stabbing somebody in the
midriff if you can obtain the same
sensation by sinking a long putt on
the last green.

Contrast TO TyCho

II EPLER joined Tycho in 1853.
N He was a contrast to Tycho in
every way. Tycho was the son OF
noblenan, man of wealth, and a
man of forceful action and fiery
temper. He lost the top of his nose
in a duel and went through the rest
Of his life wearing a nose of metal.
Kepler was poor and in Ill health
most of his life. His eyes were weak
and he was utterly unsuited to carry
on such observations Of the heavens
as Tycho was engaged in making
But when Tycho died in 1901,
Kepler undertook to analyze his OBJ
servations to see what they proved
about the motions of the solar Sys-
tenn. Kepler was equipped to do
this, for he was one of the most
skilled mathematician of his time
In 1609-the same year that Cali
leo built his first little telescope
Kepler published his results, since
known to the world Of science as
Kepler's laws.
First of all, he set down the fact
which was the foundation stone of
all accurate study of the solar sys-
tenn, the fact that the planets re-
volved around the sun, not in per
feet circles. but in hattened circles
known as ellipses.
Next he showed that there was
relationship between the speed with
which a planet went around the sun
and its distance from the sun.
A planet did not travel with a
constant speed, but a variable one,
the speed being greater when the
planet was in that part of the ellipSe
where it was nearer to the sun.
