| DRoFEssOR J. FRENKEL Of the

up some of the popular misconcep-
tons concerning the Einstein theory
of relatively.

Tammany Leader John F. Curry has been II
Washington helping Democrats celebrate He would
like front line place for Tammany in the great
Democratic march to the Democratic national con-
yention of 1882.
Our Washington correspondent draws charm
ing picture of the polite Mr.. Curry delghting the
Capitol, hobnobbing with Speaker Garner, exchang.
ing courteses with leading Democrats from the south
and west.
We all for politeness.
But We don't for moment believe the national
Democracy has succumbed to the Curry charm, for
gotten the Seabury investigation pinned blue rib
bon Tammany, or prepared itself to take orders
from the New York wgwam. We advise Tammany
not to believe it, either
Despite its recent local "pushover," Tammany will
be wise to go softly and modesty. The moment it
shows itself too much of thruSter, what has hap
pened before will happen again. 1t will find itself
suddenly rebufed, repudiated and denounced by the
larger Democracy as the same old milestone the same
old party liability.
From time to time in the past Tammany has had
its chaStened cautious moods. AS when in 1901 after
four years of the impossible Mayor Van Wyck, Boss
Croker nominated the highly respected Edward M.
Shepard-who lost to Seth Low. But such Tammany
moods never have lasted yet.
AS for Tammany in Democratic national conven-
lions, remember 1917, at Baltimore. Remember BOSS
Murphys effort to prevent at any cost, the nominal
ton of Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson carried
the Democratic party to victory in 1912, scoring
memorable triumph for the progressive Democracy
of the nation If Tammany had had its way, Wood
row Wilson never would have been nominated.
What does the national Democracy owe Tammany?
Nothing-ess than nothing.
If Tammany wants another Democratic Presi-
dent elected in 1892 it will not set out to capture
the convention by thrustng itself forward the
natural dictator of the party. Never was Tammany
in worse shape for an attempt to domineer in the
bigger Democracy.
A prudent tiger will keep to its own lair--and re-
duce the disorder therein.

NeWton'8 Absolute Space
A MOTHER prejudice, says Pro-
L N fessor Frenkel, is that the
theory of relatively was entirely Gre
ated by Einstein. This popular no.
ton is in no way the fault of Elm
stein. If you turn to his own writ
ings, you will find that he gives full
credit to all of his predecessors.
The theory was prepared for by
the work of Newton" Professor
Frenkel says. The relatively Of
space was incorporated in Newto. S
work; Einstein extended this so as
to include the relatively of time.
In his celebrated Principal
Newton started by saying that space
is absolute and that space is at
rest; also, he added THAI time is
without any connection with other
absolute and flowing uniformly
without any connection with other
events.
Let us leave time alone for a
while, and consider what Newton
meant when he said that space is
absolute and at rest.
Il have heard that Ibsen once
was asked what he meant by one
of his plays, and he answered that
when he wrote it only God and
himself knew what he meant; but
since then he had forgotten.
Il think Newton would say the
same thing about his absolute space
which is at rest, because from the
results established by Newton him
self it followed that it is physically
impossible to discover and further
more to determine what this rest
meant.
IF some frame Of reference is
supposed TO be at rest, and then an
other frame Of reference is intro
duced which moves uniformly and
in straight line with respect to
the first, then all the events will
take place in the second moving
frame as with respect to the first,
which was supposed to be at rest.
and therefore, so far as we can
Judge from physical phenomena,
there is no difference whatever be-
tween the two systems Of reference
both of them could with equal
right, be supposed a. rest"

What Is Relative
PROFESSOR FRENKFI, b,

PROFESSOR FRENKEII begins
A. by pointing out that the most
common misconception is that Elm
stein has proved that everything
is relative"
OF course, he has done nothing
OF the sort. AS Bertrand Russell
observed, the phrase is meaningless.
Things have to be relative to some
thing.
Professor FrenkeI repeats the
opinion which has been previously
suggested by others, among them
Sir Oliver Lodge, that the theory
might better have been called an
absolute theory.
/ 1t is true that in the Einstein
theory of relatively it is demon
Strated that measurements are
relative to the observer.
But the chief Importance of the
theory is that it suggests a method
of discovering the absolute values
behind these relative measure
ments.
Tine theory of Einstein states
that many things, many notions.
many qualities which we thought
absolute are actually relative, but
on the other hand it destroys the
old absolutes only to build up new
ones,' Er. FrenkeI says.
1T could be called, with better
right, perhaps, the theory of the
absolute and not the theory of rela-
tivity.
ut introduces relative quantities
only to build up absolute quantities
out of them and to build up rules
for connecting them which will be
absolute and which will express
physical laws
Maybe if the theory of relatively
were called the theory of the abso-
Lutte it would not appeal so much 10
the present sophisticated genera
ton, and there would be less talk
about it."
