TINE opposition to the nominal
l. ton of Judge John J. Parker to
the supreme court has come chiefly
from two quarters. Labor has OPP
posed it and the National Associa-
ton for the Advancement Of the
Colored People has drawn atten-
ton to his attitude on the political
status Of the Negro. And this latter
factor seems the more effective.
It can not be said that Judge Par
ker has met the issue with any con-
siderable courage. There is vast
body of testimony to the effect that
in 1920 he did declare, "The particI-
patton of the Negro in politics is a
source of evil and danger to both
races, and is not desired by the wise
men in either race or by the Re
publican party Of North Carolina"
have before me a photo-static
copy Of the issue of the Green's
boror Daily News, in which Judge
Parker was quoted to this effect.
Yet, when the national association
sent a telegram asking Judge Par
ker whether or not he had been
correctly quoted, he vouchsafed no
reply whatsoever.
Surely man who will not stand
up and defend what he has said is
hardly a person of sufficient char
acter to be elevated to the highest
court in the land.
Timidity has marred Judge Par
ker's claim to confederation. He
might have spoken out frankly and
legitimatized his own utterance. In
deed, he could have gone on to de-
clare, "I said it, and the opinion
which I expressed is shared by the
vast majority of all white men in
the south" That would be true
saying.

A S though the confusion Of re-
"A adjustment were not enough,
some would have us pause and
argue the question on a philosophi-
cal basis.
Most conspicuous among these is
Mahatma Gandhi, who aspires to
lead India in revolt, not only against
the British government but against
the basic theories of white civiliza-
ton.
At that he is little more reaction
airy than La Prensa, which would
like to see the American talkie
checked because it is familiarizing
Argentinians with inferior mental
standards and social customs"
Provincialism, though compelled
to stand on broader basis, is still
provincialism.
Gandhi, demanding the return Of
hand-wOven cloth, and La Prensa,
renouncing the talzies because they
teach Latin Americans to think in
English, represent the same spirit
that once inspired farmhandS to
smash the Mccormick reaper.
But the outstanding folly of their
attitude consists in the fact that
they think it possible to stir up OPP
position without going beyond non
resistance.

DR, HEYL is one of the physi-
~ ciSts at the United States Blu
reau Of Standards in Washington.
D. G. He is one of the most skill
full eXperimenters in the scientific
world. But his laboratory skill is
matched by his ability to make him
self understood to the layman.
About four years ago this writer
in company with many other read
ers of the Scientific Monthly, formed
the habit of watching for the occa-
sional articles by DR.. Heyl. Each
one was a model of the way in which
an exceedingly complex phase of
modern physics could be reduced to
simple language.
The present book is not a re-
print of these magazine articles.
Some of the chapters, however,
cover the same ground which was
covered by some of the articles.
In the book DR.. Heyl first intro
duces the opinions of nineteenth
century physics. Then he shows
how these changed with twentieth
century discoveries.
The book is not a large one-only
161 pages. But by the time the
reader has reached page so he has
already gotten on speaking terms
with wave mechanics. After twenty
more pages he no longer shudders
at the mention of the quantum the
DRY and ten more pages enable him
to look the Einstein theory fearlessly
in the eye.
The book closes with a discus
sion of the effect which the new
physics is having upon other
branches of science and upon phi
losophv.

Advice

TINE universe today is a more
L puzzling one, in some ways a
topsy-turvy universe. All the COM
placent assurance of nineteenth
century physics is gone.
We know now that the atom is
composed of electrons, tiny units of
electricity. Astronomers assure us
that within the stars and our own
sun matter is being converted into
energy.
EinStein has given us curved space
and a four dimensional space-time
in place of the absolute quantities
Of Newtonian theory.
Most puzzling of all are the new
theory of wave mechanics and the
principle of uncertainty. Wave me-
chanics would reduce the whole uni
verse to fluctuations of something
perhaps electricity.
Schrodinger, the author of the
theory, doesn't specify. He merely
works out mathematical equations
in which the Greek letter, Psi, rep
resents the fiuctuating element.
The average layman is beWilSered.
He need not be ashamed to con-
fess it. Many scientists are just as
beWildered.
If the average Iayman asks us
what to do, We will furnish the fol-
lowing advice: Get at once a copy

Appleton & Co. at so.

That's what the Republican pa

were failing long before that. Wheat

Times Readers Voice Vices

Editor The Times-Your paper
deserves the thanks of the public
for the opportunity given to express
views on the prohibition question.
The writer suggests that the most
effective means to combat the in
fuence of those responsible for the
disgraceful conditions now existing
is to take care not to vote in the
primary for any of the candidates
recently Endorsed by the Anti
Saloon league. If all those of con-
trary views follow this suggestion,
the support of that organization
will become handicap rather than
an asset, and its influence thereby
greatly diminished.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scientists Radically Change
Their Attitude TOwnrd the
Fundamental Nature of the
UniUerse.

A REVOLUTION has taken place
IA in the last few years in the at
titude of scientists to the funda-
mental nature of the universe.
This revolution is by-product Of
the amazing advances which have
been made in physics since the
start Of the present century. The
thirty years since 1900, according
to DR.. r. A. Millikan, famous
American physicist, have been the
most remarkable in the entire his
tory Of science, finding possible
equal in the days of Calico.
It was inevitable that the mar
velous period of development ush-
cred in just before the turn of the
century with Roentgen's discovery
of the X-ray eventually should
change the scientific outlook upon
the universe.
Nineteenth century physicists
thought that all important scien-
tific discoveries had been made.
Newton's law Of universal gravita-
ton ruled physical phenomena. Mat
ter was composed of atoms, each
atom being an individual unit of
matter, the smallest in existence.
Two fundamental laws were the
conservation of matter and the con-
servation Of energy. The first held
that matter neither could be de-
stroyed nor brought into existence.
One could change OnlV it's form. The
second law stated the same thing
for energy.
And then the discovery OF radi-
UNI and the other advances which
followed upon the heels Of X-rays
came the revolution.

ASTRONOMY A STUDY OF
STARLIGHT
BY Arthur DeV. Carpenter

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
All We know about the stars has
been derived from n study Of the
light that radiates from their sur
faces. For ages that knowledge was
meagar because man had not yet
developed the science of mathe-
MATES which had first to be
achieved before there could be any
great scientific knowledge OF the
heavenly bodies. After mathematics
there had to come the invention of
scientific instruments for inter-
preting the messages OF the star
light. Following the development
OF the science mathematics. came
the telescope that j. essential to
all other scientific astronomical
instruments. Finally the invention
Of the ~spectroscope proved TO be
the mighty KEY for interpreting
the messages OF starlight.
