Whoa, Roosevelt!

MTHILE on the subject of
w Democratic politics, it looks
as though the Roosevelt boom
weren't going quite SO strong.
A poll by the United Press, which
makes no claim of being conclusive,
but which represents expert opinion
from all sections of the country, in
dicates that about the same num-
Der of delegates are pledged to IA
vorite sons as to Roosevelt and that
nearly one-third of all the dele

less the customary two-thirds.

ON Dec. 90, 1917, British forces
~ drove the Turk back two miles
on a thirteen-mile front north Of
Jerusalem and captured five towns.
Towns captured by the British
were: Ras Arkus, Es Suffa, Ana

General Allenby advanced his
British-Egyptian army, supported
by French. Italian and Arab aux
iliarieS, against the increasing re-
siStance Of the Turk.
Between the time of the loss of
Jerusalem and the Turks retreat
along the Jericho and Naballa

Holy City, the Turk suffered heavy
losses in killed and wounded.

Universe Expanding

MOST of the discussions during
AVA 1881 did not concern the
fundamentals of the Einstein
theory. They centered, on the con-
trary, around extensions and in
ferences to be drawn from the
theory.
The situation may very we'll be
likened to that which obtained in
the years Immediately after the
announcement of Newton'S law of
gravitation.
Laplace, Lagrange, Euler, D'Alem-
bert and others we're busy applying
the theory to a study of the solar
system.
In the same way, many investi-
gators, including Einstein himself.
have been applying the theory of
relatively to the study of the struc-
ture of the universe.
Most of the discussions which
have reached popular attention
during the past year, have been
on this phase OF the subject.
These discussions, incidentally.
have added weight to the Einstein
theory of relatively.
Direct observations of the
heavens, made with the 100-inch
telescope at Mt. Wilson, showed
that all the distant nebulae ap-
peared to be moving away from
the. earth. This led to the notion
of an expanding universe.
Lemaitre, the Belgian mathema-
tician and astronomer, showed that
the idea of an expanding universe
was inherent in the Einstein equa-
tons, although Einstein himself
had failed to note this implication
of his own work.
In other words, the Mt. Wilson
discovery of the receding nebulae,
constituted another proof for the
theory of relatively.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HE Eyg4}s}

DOTH vets and drys have COM
- mented upon the fact that
prohibition has been greeted with
some evidences of a disrespect for
law. According to the violators
the amendment is tyrannical and
vicious. Those on the other side
attribute lawlessness to the deprav-
ity Of unreconciled and rebellious
sots.
But it seems to me that both
parties to the quarrel might agree
in suspecting that certain mani
festationS of the might and ma
jesty of the federal authority are
just little silly.
WaShingtons Christmas gift to
the free city of New York consisted
of number of raids upon elaborate
SpeakeaSieS. I would prefer that
agents did nothing at all, but since
they draw pay from taxpayers
will grant that it is logical enough
for them to go out and arrest some
body every now and then,

AbeiSanCe to Ancestors

T AM among those who have a
4 sincerely reverent feeling for the
best of our national traditions. In
the long cavalcade from Washing
ton to Wilson, many leaders have
written themselves heroically into
our history. Great problems have
inspired great men on numerous oc-
casionS.
And so it seems to me more or
less of a letdown if the accredited
representatives of the republic are
to be turned loose and encouraged
to behave like drunken sophomoreS
at freshman banquet.
1t seems to me little shocking
that even the minor tribunes OF
the people are to be from now on
transformed into pillow snitcherS
and silk curtain snatchers. Uncle
Sam is made to seem little like
a bad boy in a tantrum when he
goes about wrecking plumbing and
carting away gas ranges.
Perhaps all this rebounds to the
glory of organized society in the
long run, but it seems, on the sur
face OF things, to be somewhat more
sadistic than social.

Democrats promised, or threatened
to cut the federal budget by some

Rumor has it that, after making
a more careful survey, they feel not

but that substantial cut could be
made, except by reducing federal

A Commendable Resolution

The WomenS intercollegiate News Association
held its thirteenth annual convention at Providence
r. l. Represented were most of the important
women's colleges in the east. The delegates passed
a resolution urging that college newspapers should
mot be subject to censorship by the administration
faculty bodies and trustees and that the officers of
these publications shall not be penalzed for any
matter printed within the recognized ethics of
journalism"
There are number of reasons why this reSolu-
ton may be commended heartily
In the first place. it is hard to get realism into
college journalism 1t tends inevitably to be play
journalism" in any event. When to this is added
smothering faculty censorship, all real juice and
originality is likely to disappear Independence will
stimulate initiative, vitality and sense of RESPONSE
biity
In the second place. freedom and tolerance in COL
lege journalism alone makes possible that criticism
which may be an important factor in campus think
ing. The recent attack Of the Columbia Spectator
intercollegiate football is excellent case in point
The editor may have been wrong, but he GER
tany stimulated vast amount of clarifying thought
on the football situation. This would not have been
possible in a regime of rigid censorship, or in ar
atmosphere of uncertainty, where the editor feared
that he might be thrown out his neck at the first
evidence of originality and fearessness.
Finally, free college journalism is an excellent
thing for the faculty. Student criticism, which
become articulate chiefly through the college papers,
is frequently the only way in which the faculty
be Jared loose from SNUG and sleepy dissatisfaction
The comment courses and professors in the
Cornell Sun and Harvard Crimson while back
is healthy example of what may be achieved along
this line 1t is probably no exaggeration to say that
the intellectual stimulus produced at Yale uni
versty last year by the Hardness Hoot surpassed
anything on the New Haven campus since Billy
Sumner ceased his lecturng there more than twenty
years ago.

Washington Continues to

United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, June 49,
With the American League
pennant race definitely set
tied down to a fight between
the Philadelphia Athletics and
the Washington Senators, the
leaders were headed west to-
day on a tour which may be
an important factor in decid-
ing the ultimate winner of
the 1881 pennant.
Both teams were highly success
full In their home stands which
closed Wednesday, and as a result
are far ahead Of their rivals. Phila-
delphia, the leader. enjoys a az
game edge over the Senators, with
the other teams so far back they
definitely can be counted out of the
fight.
Yanks Eleven Behind
New York's third-place Yanks are
eleven games to the bad, with Cleve-
land an additional 81 games to the
rear and the second division clubs
hopeleSsly in the ruck.
Philadelphia and Washington will
make a complete round Of the
western parks before returning east
on July and after Independence
day double headers against Boston
and New York, respectively, will
hook up in a three-game series at
Washington which should provide
an accurate line on the strength of
the two rivals.
Philadelphia, which has won %
of its rs games against western clubs
this season, is scheduled for sixteen
games in the west, four at Chicago
five at st. Louis, four at Detroit
and three at Cleveland.
Mats Beat Browns
Washington, with a seasons rec
ord Of "a victories and three de-
feats against the west, will play five
games at Cleveland, four at Detroit,
five at Chicago and three at st.
Louis.
The eastward invasion Of the western
teams of the junior circuit closed with
Washington defeating st. Louis, to Z.
and Philadelphia winning from Cleveland,
to 2. Bluege's triple in the ninth inning
scored West with the run that extended
the winning streak of the Senators to
twelve straight contests. The Browns had
tied the score in their half of the ninth
after they knocked Alvin Crowder out of
the box in the eighth inning.
George Earnshaw bested Yves Terrell to
enable the Athletics to retain their two
and one-haH game margin over the SEN
ators. EarnShaw allowed only five scat
tered hits while Terrell yielded seven hits
in as many innings before he retired for a
pinch hitter.
The double header scheduled between
New York and Boston was postponed be-
cause of rain while Detroit and Chicago
had an open date.
