TINE most significant comment
Il regarding the pope's recent en-
cyclical comes from his own official
organ, Osservatore Romano, which
takes the italian press to task for
giving it such scant attention.
Some Roman newspapers pub
lished only a few lines" says the
Osservatore. Others even ignored
the encyclical entirely. Only one
paper had as much as half a col
umn." But what the OsServatore
finds more humiliating than all
else is the excessive Importance
given local news, from prize fight to
police court news. Or police raids on
questionable houses"
Unless Republican leaders of New
York are willing to support state
development of the st. Lawrence wa
ter power project, they have made
mess for themselves.
1t is quite true that the bill which
they have framed, and which Gov
ernor Roosevelt has accepted, does
not order the investigating COM
mission it creates to deal exclu-
sively with such plan.
But the bill authorizes the Gov
ernor to name the investigating
commission, and who imagines that
he will neglect to name men ia
vorable to the plan?
Republican leaders profess sur
prise at the Governors action.
Evidently they thought he would
seize on the few jokers they incor-
porated in the bill as an excuse to
reject it.
He didn't take the bait, and now
there is nothing for it but to let him
run the show

DRESIDENT HOOVER appointed
Il a law enforcement commission
to study, among other things, the
defects in the administration Of the
Volstead act. That commission has
made preliminary report, and pre-
sumably the President would have
all good citizens digest the findings
Of the selected wise men, and re-
spect their recommendations.
Unfortunately, Herbert Hoover
has set the rest of us a bad exam
pie in this respect, for in his own
perusal of the document he seems
to have skipped entirely one I'M
portant finding.
In transmitting the commissions
report to congress, the President
added a message of his own. In
this message he said, while some
sections of the American people
may disagree upon the merits of
some of the questions involved.
every responsible citizen supports
the fundamental principle that the
law of the land must be enforced"

I'm our public schools today, as
Il pointed out by DR.. James L. Nc
Cartney, there are about 100000
children so handicapped mentally
that they could not possibly follow
the ordinary courses of study.
Nevertheless, we have not yet
elaborated a system that would de-
tect these cases before they begin
school, so that both tfeir time and
that of the teachers and other pu-
pills could be saved.
1t generally is recognized that there
are a half million feeble minded
people in this country demanding
the constant care and attention OF
those whose mental states approach
more nearly what is called the nor
NAL.
True, these detectives constitute a
great problem, but il many ways
they are not so difficult Of control
as those with good mentality but
with emotional instability.

A LREADY there has been a dis
IN position to believe that the in
ouiry would be less than impartial.
Senator Jones made public an
nouncement of the fact that he had
buttonholed the investigators in
advance, and persuaded them that
they should voice no opinions as to
the merit Of the prohibition amend
ment itself.
Seemingly, they managed to slip
a nip of mild dissent under the
eagle eye of the dry despot- But
President Hoover seems prepared to
correct that oversight.
In other words, the great nom

PARTISAN commission of which we
heard so much during the last cleo
ton is to be reduced to the estate OF
sort of yes-men's minstrel show.
Obviously, the Presidents message
and the paragraphs from the COM
missions report are not to be recon-
ciled. Herbert Hoover says that
every responsible citizen supports
the theory that the law Of the land
must be enforced.
Some very distinguished citizens
have argued against this conception
of democracy and the law. Clarence
Darrow says that the right to let
a law die is as fundamental as the
right of repeal.

SCIENCE
Mysterious Puzzle KnotCn as
Wave Mechanism Brought
to Fore by $1,000 Prize
AUdrd.
By DAVID DIETZ

A WARD of the annual $1,000
L "A prize of the American ASsocia-
ton for the Advancement OF
Science to Professor A. J. Dempster
of the University of Chicago, focuses
attention on one of the most inter
esting fields OF modern science-the
mysterious puzzle known as wave
mechanics"
Professor Dempster received the
prize for an experiment which he
performed in this. fascinating field.
A few months ago the famous No
bel prize in physics was awarded TO
the French scientist, Prince De
Broglie. the man who started wave
mechanics.
In many ways wave mechanics ts
more pulling than the quantum
theory. In other ways less, be-
cause it throws light on the guam
tum theory. Perhaps the worst fea-
ture from the viewpoint OF the lay
man is that both are united in a
puzzle worse than either alone.
Thirty years ago scientists had
a view of the universe which was
far simpler than that held today.
In general, there was considered to
be a sharp distinction between the
nature of matter and the nature Of
light.
Matter consisted of particles called
atoms. Light consisted of waves. BY
1900, it was known that the atoms
we're composed of electrons, but
these were merly regarded as smaller
particles.
