Enter Schroedinger

THE Bol1r theory Of the atom
l. held that atoms consisted of
small particles Of electricity known
as eleotrons The Schroedinger
theory holds that the atom is a pull
sating sphere of electricity.
Many phenomena not setisfac-
torily explained by Bolr are ex-
planned by Schroedinger.
However, there seems to be plenty
of experimental proof for the exist
ence of the electron.
Recently, DAVIDSON and Germer.
American eXperimenters, have
shown that under certain condi-
tions, electrons behave like waves
It may be that a complete IN
derstanding Of the nature Of light
will lead to similar understanding
Of the nature Of matter.
Meanwhile, it must be remen-
bered, as Professor Spinney points
out, that the concept of ether
which began to lose ground with
the development Of the quantum
theory, has begun to gain it with
Schroedinger wave mechanics.
If atoms and electrons are waves,
they must be waves in some me-
dunn, namely, the ether of space.
But here is the trouble. The at
tributes which an ether requires for
light waves differ from those which
are required for Schroedinger S
waves
It is to meet this difficulty that
some physicists have suggested we
must postulste two or perhaps three
kinds Of ether existing sirnultane-
ously in SPACE.

when CONSCIENCE Needs Friend


Should citizen of the United States possess a
conscience? Or is he better citizen if he does not2
The supreme court is going to decide.
If it follows the leadership of the department Of
Justice it will hold that Marie Averil Bland, New
York war nurse and the Rev. Douglas Clyde Mac
Intosh, professor of theology at Yale, can not be-
come citizens because both refuse to they will
bear arms for the United States unless permitted to
add to the oath: so far as my conscience as a
Christian will permit"
It is unlikely that even the supreme court will at
tempt to set netes and bounds for conscience; to
say that in this sphere of life should obey its
innermost dictates, and in that one should disre-
gard it, So the final decision must apparently choose
between conscience and blind Obedience to govern
ment.
How strange that this question should arise at
time when nations are trying to find way toward
peace by making conscience a thing to be reckoned
with in connection with war-which has been out
lawed by the Kellogg pact.
Perhaps this attempt has not succeeded better
because conscience has been bound and crippled in
the past Perhaps only country that leaves its peo-
pie free to mediate moral issues and to act upon
whatever decisions they make can find the way to
peace.

We All Pay

TOMING to a more practical as
~ pect of the problem which is
raised by Arizona's suit: Just what
rights has a state in its rivers, and
just how far should it be permitted,
If not compelled to assume a share
of the responsibility for their devel-
op1nent, especially if the idea is to
improve agriculture and produce
electricity?
Suppose state wants to develop
a river, or some part of a river on
its own account, can it do so, or
must it wait for the federal govern
ment?
On the other hand, suppose we
leave all the developing to the fed
.eral government. Can we expect
any other result than more bureaus,
more boards and more centraliza-
ton?
The thing goes a little deeper
than so much stored water against
dry spells, so many acres of i'm
proved land, or such and such an
amount of additional electrical pow
err. It goes right down to the ques-
ton of whether we should sacrifice
more local self government for the
sake Of less local taxation, or should
insist on preserving local rights,
even though they seem to come
high.
And let no one be fooled as to
the ultimate reckoning. We're all
going to help pay the bill finally,
whether Uncle Sam does the work
and collects through tariff and in
come tax, or whether states and
municipalities do it and collect
through direct levies on real estate
and personal property.
Not only that, but each and
every one of us will pay about the
same amount in the long run.
One of the worst illusionments
with which we are afflicted is that
we get out of paying for a thing
if, or when. Uncle Sam does it.

1t Is Absurd to Try to Make
Eighteenth Century Poll
tics Fit Twentieth Century
Conditions.
A RIzONA'S suit to restrain the
IN federal government from 60
ing on with Boulder dam, or Hoover
dam, as it has been rechristened,
reaches the supreme court.
This suit is interesting not only
because of its possible effect on the
undertaking, but because it shows
that we no longer speak the same
language in court as in everyday
life.
In everyday life we accept the
Hoover dam as a project to store
water and produce power. In court
we are forced to think of it as a
project to Improve navigation" on
the Colorado river.
Arizona is sore because she feels
that she was not allotted her right
full share of the water which the
Hoover dam will make available for
irrigation, but her lawyers are not
going to state it to the court ex-
actly that way.
What they are going to tell the
court is that the federal govern
ment has no authority to make
Arizona sign a contract against her
will, and that it has no business to
spend money for improving naviga-
ton on the Colorado river, since no
such animal exists.

Nail It Down

Every person who votes for constitutional con-
vention-and that should be all-might do well to
take precautions to that there is supreme court
which is deliberate body to pass upon such legal
technicalities as will be raised by Cofhnism.
It would be tragic for vote by the people to
meet the fate of the city manager movement in this
city Yet this is likely to happen unless there go
upon the supreme court judges who will decide legal
questions in accordance with precedence and the
viewpoint of the majority of leading lawyers.
That the state needs new Constitution is con-
ceoed Through it, taxation methods can be fixed
definitely which will place the burden on those most
able to bear them Through it there is possibility
of shortening the ballot and forming more re-
sponsve government Through it there is the posi-
bitv of divorcing the judiciary from politics, the
great curse of the state.
Those who believe that the constitutional conven-
ton should be held would do well to take out little
insurance change in the supreme court would help

True tn Form

The threat by Governor Leslie to reduce
appropriations for Indiana university unless
Paul McNutt, dear of the law school, IN his
Democratic campaigning is stopped by uni
versity authorities, shows that Leslie and
Coffinism always run true to form.
In the first place the legislature makes
appropriations. The Governor can use his
power of veto for purposes of vengeance. In
that, he reveals himself as one who does not
believe in education. To penalize the youth
of Indiana for the statements of one protes-
sor shows the Governor to be more friendly
to ignorance than to culture, to care nothing
for the welfare of youth. He has exhibited
that attitude frequently.
But the big exposure of moral and intel
lectual nakedness lies in the fact that the
Governor would suppress all freedom OF
thought, all freedom of speech, and believes
that because of his election to a governor
ship he became a car and master.
If there are any sources from which
guidance and advice in public affairs should
be sought, it is the colleges and the uni
versities of the state. If the professors in
these institutions fail in public crises, then
the whole theory of education fails.
We're McNutt going about the state prais-
ing Leslie, his peculiar highways commits
sion, his unaudited appropriation for main
tenance of his mansion, his expenditure from
the emergency fund for second secretary
not authorized by law, there would be no pro-
test.
1t is because McNutt, with effective cour-
age, dares to point to the causes of unem-
ployment, to the failure of the state to safe
guard the peoples interests, to indebtedness
and extravaganza, to maladministration by
the secretary of state and the state treas
urer that Leslie dares to threaten education
in Indiana to stop him.
For that is the threat. It is not against
McNutt. It is not against the Democratic
party. It is against the youth of the state.
In which Leslie runs true to form as
product of machine government.
