There is no tempering of the
sharp edge of labor for even the

find itself an evening star as well

For instance, saw John Barry

which had lasted from to 9, with
only the briefest interval out for
lunch and dinner.
And lunch, of course, Is taken in

with the change from silent to
spoken pictures.
There is very much less travelling

The lot of Warner Brothers and
First National boasts a great lake,
which has served for much water
stuff in pictures dealing with many
chimes. The water is real enough,
but the lake is only some seven
inches deep and can be sluiced in

that in like manner the motion pic

they present a lovely and g. gleam-

Shift to the Red

Tor many years astronomers were
4 puzzled over the nature of the
spirals, but the work OF DR.. Edwin
P. Hubble at Mt. Wilson has estab-
hs1ed the fact that the spirals
which show widespread arms are
great collections of stars, gaIaxies
like our own Milky Way but smaller
The Spirals which have smaller
arms and larger centers are great
masses, which, it is believed even
tually will evolve into galaxies of
stars.
The fact which has Einstein and
the rest of the world Of science
puzzled is one brought to light dur
ing the last few years by study of
the spectra of these spirals carried
on at Mt. Wilson.
The Spectroscope is a series Of
prisms attached to the telescopes.
1t divides the light of the object
under observe ton, be it sun or star
or rebula, into a little rainbow of
colors or spectrum.
Now it has been known for many
years that the little black line which
cross the spectrum of a star show
displacement which is the result
Of the motion of the star.
If the star is moving toward the
earth, the shift is toward the violet
end of the spectrum. If the star
is moving away from the earth, the
shift is toward the red end of the
spectrum.
The phenomenon is similar to
that Of sound waves. If a locomo-
tive is approaching us, the sound of
the whistle rises.
That is because the motion of
the locomotive is crowding the
sound waves on top of each other.
Now the surprising thing was
that every distant nebula showed
a shift toward the red. The fur
Their away the nebula was, the
greater the shift was.
In the case of very distant
nebulae, the shift was so great as
to indicate a velocity Of recession
beyond any reasonable figure.

Editor Times-I wish to reply to
several articles in your Voice Of the
People section. Some one wants to
know, Whats wrong with Amer
ica?" The answer and solution is
this, America has no government.
1t is governed by clique rule or,
as former Ambassador Gerard Said,
some fifty-nine men with the seat
of government in Wall street.
Washington, D. c., is maintained
as a sham for the people. We have
no more American principles and
policies of washington and Lin
coin days, Government for the
people, of the people and by the
people" but are being governed for
a few by few.
Washington needs a clean sweep.
Andrew Mellon, Lucas and few
other "big money" men are trying
to run the country and are doing
it and making us like it. We, the
people, should be thankful for a
few men like Norris, Reed, Borah,
Fish, Helm, Lafollette, Couzens and
a few others.
If it wasn't for a few men like
these coming to the front and fight
ing for American ideals, the COM
mon Americans would be In worse
condition than we are today.
How can we help ourselves? The
Republicans have gotten the coun-
try into mess. The Democrats
have been given chances by many
local governments, but if they con-
tinue in other localities as they are
in Indiana, raising taxes and license
fees, our hopes are shattered in
them.
The only thing left, then, is a
new party with new deal. I don't
mean Communist or Socialist
party, but an American party, head
ed by men with American princi-
pies and ideals at heart, that will
say American first, last and always
and not sell their birthrights for g
mess Of pottage.
The farmer is supposed to be get
ting a lot of help, but is he? No
Just another trap for him. Ameri-
cans can't see any farther ahead

loans, mortgages and sew him ur

pens? He can't pay of. Away goes

Curvature of Space

NOW in his general theory Of
In relatively, Einstein replaced
the old notions Of independent and
absolute time with joined space
time, which he called four dimen-
sional space-tirne continuum.
Moreover, the properties of this
space-time changed with the exist
ence Of matter in it. Euclidean
geometry no longer was considered
the standard geometry of the uni
verse.
The geometry was -Euclidean,
its exact nature changing with the
gravitational field of the partic-
ular location in space-time which
was under consideration.
Now on the basis Of his theory
which involved a curvature in
space, Einstein worked out a figure
for the radius Of space from which
the size of the universe could be
calculated.
But his theory does not account
for behavior Of the spiral nebulae.
All scientists were unwilling to
accept the idea that the shift to
the red was real. There seems no
sort Of center from which all the
reason why our earth should be a.
spirals were fleeing, increasing their
speed as they got further and
further away.
The Dutch physicist, De Sitter.
has suggested a structure for the
universe which accounts in part for
the shift to the red as an appar-
ent one due to the curvature Of
space.
But his theory holds that part
Of the shift is real. According to
De Sitter, the universe Is not con-
slant in size, but constantly is ex-
panding.
Einstein's remark In Pasadena the
other day is merely the recognition
Of the fact that science yet faces
many unsolved problems.

February "a
.0N Feb. "a, 1886, Winslow Ho-
~ mer, famous American marine
painter, one of the foremost and
most typical Of his school, was born
in Boston.
At 10 he entered photographers
shop and after two years worked
Independently as an illustrator.
In 1859 he went to New York
where, while supporting himself by
illustrating, he attended the Ma
tional Academy of Design.
On the outbreak of the Civil war
he went to the front as a special
war correspondent and artist for
Harper's Weekly, for which he
worked after the war.
In 1880, after he had exhibited
his paintings in Europe, Homer
turned his attention to marine
painting.
Four years later began his notable
career as leading American painter
of the ocean and the seafaring folk.

Editor Times-It is time honor
able citizens of this glorious repub-
lie wake up to the fact that COM
munistS can not be dealt with as
rational human beings.
The Communist gatherings show
what per cent of our people have
warped minds. When an idea fill
tiers into their brains it can not be
dislodged or modified or improved
upon in any way. The best remedy
is to keep fanatics and their itera-
ture from the public.
If you will investigate, you will
find they are all failures. Their
home life is a great failure. They
are so humanitarian that they
neglect their own home and fam
lies. They will use any foolish ex-
cuse to shift their responsibilities
1t would be good thing to isolate
the leaders and put them at hard
labor. They are not even fit to be
with their fellow prisoners.
I know whereof I speak, for
have lived through two generations
OF them. They are the worst form
Of poison. People who have not
associated with them haven't the
imagination to realize Just what II
does to a human being.
Communism is more deadly thar
hydrophobia; the person who &C.
cepts it is absolutely worthless tc
himself, his family and his country
and it is almost impossible to re-
claim one of them.

AN IMPORTANT WEEK

The seven days beginning Friday
and continuing until Friday, May 1,
are important days so far as Mime
sofa is concerned inasmuch as they
are aimed to the thought of replacing
the timber and all that which has
been taken from the states natural
resources through ruthless destruc-
tion. The week has been proclaimed
by Governor Floyd B. Olson as Mime
sofa forest conservation week and Fri
day has been especially named as Ar
Dor and Bird day. In his proclama-
tion, the governor said that few if any
states have suffered more than Mime
sofa through the ruthless destruction
of it's forests.
1t is a good thing to think about
and the more effort made in this
direction the sooner those resources
will be brought back. Reforestation
does not mean that farms should grow
up with timber but it does mean that
all timber lands that are not fit for
farming should be protected against
waste.

GOVERNMENT is NOT JUST
RESOLUTIONS
(The Long Prairie Leader)

hc LoilS Idll lC AcduCIJ
Spain has established a republic
and forced King Alfonso into exile.
There is great rejoicing in Spain and
the people are happy over the change.
However, time will tell if the change
brings the real and lasting happiness
and satisfaction which the people con-
template. Good government is not a
thing that can come by passing reso-
luton or changing governmental
forms. If demagOgs gain control OF
Spanish politics and selfish leaders
grab power, the Spanish people may
be in for some unhappy times and
may long for the return of the mon
archy which as matter of fact was
monarchy in name only, the king
having little real power. Ambitious
leaders had long agitated for change
of government so the new regime is
largely a change wherin one political
party goes in and another goes out.
In the last analysis the form of gov
eminent means but little when the
people have a measure of control as
they do now days where the ruler,
no matter what his title, has cir
cumscribed powers. The important
thing is the intelligence of the people
and the wisdom with which they Sc
lect their lawmakers and the heads of
their governments. The mere fact of
setting up a republic in Spain means
little or nothing in the ultimate hap
piness of the people. The real &C
complishment can come only as the
Spanish people show themselves cap
able of wise and prudent political ac-
ton.

ECONOMY is STILL SERVED
(The Minneapolis Starr

When Governor Olson ordered a
minimum wage scale of As cents an
hour and a 48-hour week for high
way labor, hue and cry was raised
that such minimum scale would
only add to the cost of road work.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating, and proof that the governors
code is not incompatible with econo-
my is evidenced in the fact that the
contract for paving a stretch of High
way No. 10 has been let for the low
est price on record for state trunk
highway paving.
The necessity for economy in pub
lie works never justifies the setting
of wages lower than demanded by a
decent standard of living. AS this
award proves, both economy and a
living wage can be served at the
same time. Let's hear no more howl.
ing about minimum road wage scale
-45 cents an hour is certainly low
enough.

WHY THE CAPTAINS AND

His kingly duties at end, Alfonso
now has time to reflect upon the
causes of his downfall.
He will wonder why, with good in
tentions, yet he failed.
Being only in middle life, he may
live long enough to understand that
in ruling nation or in ruling the
business and industry of nation, good
intent is not enough.
In his experience there is lesson
for the business rulers of America
Selfish as business may be, no one
will contend that its leaders would
consciously cultivate and extend pow
erty among the people of this country.
Business can not fatten upon poverty.
On the vast scale of its operations in
America, business can not even exist
alongside an extensive class perma-
nently reduced to poverty.
And it has no moral right to
exist unless it changes it's pur-
pose from the senseless pyramiding
of vast accumdiations of wealth and
economic power in the hands of few
to an enlightened policy of spreading
its benefits; to the extinction of pow
