First Thought Comet

- ~ ~ ~ gu ONAllNl
DUT study of the orbit of Pluto
- led to a variety of opinions
1t became apparent at once that
Pluto was not the sort of planet
that Lowell had anticipated, and
that it could not be responsible for
the irregularities in the orbit of
Uranus.
At first. some astronomers even
insisted that it was no planet at
/ all, but comet or aSteroid.
1t now is generally agreed that it
must be a planet, since its size,
/ though much smaller than that of
Uranus or Neptune, is somewhere
between that of Mars and the earth.
That is, its diameter is between
1000 and 5000 miles.
Its orbit, however. is much more
like that Of an asteroid than that
of any of the other planets. The
orbit possesses so great an eccen-
tricity that the planets distance
from the sun varies by 100000
miles.
When Pluto is nearest the sun,
it is closer than is Neptune. But
due to the fact that Pluto's orbit
is inclined at a considerable angle
to the general plane of the orbits
of the other planets, the orbits of
Neptune and Pluto do not cross
each other.
Many astronomers think that
Pluto must be related to the aster-
ODDS and that it may prove the first
of a series of -Neptunian
planets with asteroid-like qualities.
This would seem to indicate that
any theory to account for the as
teroids and their behavior also must
take some note of Pluto and the
possibility of other planets like
Pluto.

ITALIAN VICTORY
June 80

ON June 30, 1918, Italian shock
~ troops, supported by British
and French artillery, stormed
Monte di Valbella. They chung to
their newly won positions despite
several fierce counter-thrusts.
Defeat of the Austrian offensive
and successful counter-ofensive
operations by the Italians disclosed
what military observers believed to
be vital spot in the defense of the
central powers-in short, Austria
Hungary was on the verge Of disin-
tegration
The British war office announced
that British planes had brought
down 4,102 enemy aircraft during
the year ended June 80. OF this
number, 2,l50 were brought down on
the western front alone.
Further disorders we're reported in

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-While listening to
the broadcast of the Republican ma
tional convention in Chicago, was
surprised to find the number of ma
tionally known wealthy people in
key positions.
For example, the national COM
mitteeman from Connecticut owns
and controls one of the largest pow
er trusts in the east; from Mary
land. the committeeman is the larg-
est lumber merchant in that state,
also in the eastern part of the coun-
try.
In fact, without exception, every
committeeman mentioned in the ra-
dio program is a man representing
large financial interests.
Why have we, and do we, submit
to being governed by men of ire
mendous wealth, who can not pos
sibly get the viewpoint of the av-
erage citizen making up the vast
majority of voters?
Believe me, when I say that the
Maryland committeeman gets the
power trusts point of view first and
his viewpoint for the citizenship Of
his state second.
These extremely wealthy repre-
SentativeS of big moneyed interests
are responsible beyond all reason
able doubt for the lobbyists who
continually are Fostering our con-
greSSmen. Instead of serving a writ
of eviction against the poor tenant,
we should serve it on the rotten
lobbyists.
This will enable the congressman
to advance an unbiased opinion on
bills submitted to the senate. In
other words, the good of his home
state will be foremost in his mind
I believe there are two kinds of
successful business men, one who
uses his financial standing to influ-
ence his government to enact bills
for his selfish needs, and the open
minded successful business man
who has sense enough to stay out
OF politics as long as it is polluted
with the two-faced individuals now
representing the people.
The really successful business man
is too busy being a success and
would not consider entering politics.
The solution as I see it is for every
true American to rally round the
man and party who will have CUTS
enough to state clearly their plat
form. so you and I can put things
together and vote the ticket which
most represents car needs.

Sun-Kissed Stupidity

Very few people know that William z. Foster is
Communist candidate for the United States presi-
dency and few believe the Communist claim that free
speech and assemblage exist chiefly in the American
Constitution.
But California is doing its best to advertise Mr..
Fosters candidacy and help in the spread OF his doc
trines
On Tuesday Los Angeles miscaled intelligence
squad struck down Foster hurled gas bombs into the
midst of a meeting of people gathered to hear him
protest the shooting of iobless man in an earlier
police raid upon private home, and arrested Foster
and three companions on a charge of suspicion of
criminal syndicalism."
Now millions will read about Mr.. Fosters candi-
dacy and many will synpathize with his claim. And
thus does that state that holds innocent Mooney and
Billings in jail do radicalism another service.
The charge against Foster is suspicion of advocacy
of violence The charge against California is the COM
mission of a violent and stupid deed

CHICAGO, June 3O.-For brief
~ period Wednesday it seemed as
if the Democratic convention were
about to be stampeded for a reliable
tooth paste and good low-priced
automobile. In fact, I am not at all
sure at the moment of writing that
"see your dentist twice a year" is
not going to be one of the plankS
in the platform.
1t would be ungenerous for the
Democrats to do less, since Amos m
Andy combined in a keynote address
which easily topped that of Walsh
or Barley. For almost two hours
the party conclave was turned into
an intimate musical show, with
Eddie Bowling as master of cere-
monies.
There was some excellent material
in the attraction, but if it were a
Haywood Broun presentation would
have routined it quite differently
Still, after all, what can you expect
from these amateur producers?

SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

Discovery of Pluto Breaks
Dolcn Many Theories With
Regard to Planets, Aste-
roids and Comets.
CHARP distinctions among planets,
~ asteroids and comets appear to
be breaking down in the face Of
recent astronomical discoveries.
These new discoveries, incidentally,
may have considerable bearing up
on theories of the origin of the
solar system and related problems.
Prior to the discovery of the
planet Pluto and the very recent
discoveries Of asteroids Of peculiar
behavior, the distinctions between
planets, asteroids and comets were
easily stated
The planets, then eight in num-
Der, revolved in orbits which we're
nearly circular. The asteroids, or
little planets" 1000 or more in
number. revolved in orbits little
more flattened than those Of the
planets in the gap between Mars
and Jupiter. The comets were more
cratic objects, moving in orbits Of
great eccentricity.
Then on March 10, 1890, the
Lowell observatory at Flagstaff,
Ariz., announced the discovery Of
the planet Pluto.
The late Prof Percival Lowell
had predicted the existence of a
tans-Neptuniari planet and had
founded the observatory at Flag
staff with the search for the planet
as one Of its major detectives.
But Prof. Lowell had anticipated
planet much like Uranus or Nep-
tune. In fact, he had based his be-
lief in the planets existence on GER
tain irregularities in the orbit Of
Uranus which such a planet would
cause.

Curtis searching for the kidnapers

with the radio receiving apparatus,
and the colonel did not learn that
his baby's body had been found
until nine hours afterwards. 1t is

VIDA TRIMS BAINVILLE
in THEIR FIRST CLASH

In last Sundays league contest,
at Bainville, the Vida Sodbusters
took the measure of the Bainvil-
lians and found their scoring di-
mansions to be 5 to u. Seventeen
hits and 3 errors by Vida to 5 hits
and 6 errors for the east-enders
seem to tell a short short story
of the contest.
Boyd Nefzger, Vida's official
scorer, says Bainville made all
their hits and all their runs in
rounds one, two and three with
Singleton doing the box honors
for the McCone county crowd. The
Elmer Dye, a young rookie George
Loendorf took on for a tryout, was
taken off first and sent to the
mound. He grabbed the chance to
clinch a position on the team by
hurting six innings of no hit, no
run ball. With more experience and
careful coaching Elmer is expect
ed to come through and make good.
