dNstrial and Social Changes.
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-with
In Maine turned turtle, Cole
BleaSe beaten in South Carolina,
the right of Huey P. Long to boss
Louisiana a little more thoroughly
established, and ma" Ferguson's S
nomination confirmed by the Texas
state Democratic convention, let's
quit talking politics for a day.
There are lots of things going on
besides the American campaign
things of deep and vital interest,
not only to those directly concerned,
but to large numbers Of people.
There are things in the making
which promise to have much
greater effect on the future than
who is chosen to be the next Presi-
dent Of the United States.
Such things have been in the
making ever since man gained the
liberty and incentive to learn.
We think too much of political
changes; not enough of economic,
industrial, and social changes. We
think of statecraft as cause, when
it is follow-up.
We think of scientific knowledge
as incidental, though it may de-
stroy our trades, professions, or
business enterprises before the year
is out.
We think Of progress as wholly
dependent on forms of government,
IN spite Of the fact that its speed
and direction often are determined
by comparatively unknown men and
seemingly inconsequential discov-
cries.

BULGARIANS DEFEATED


Sept Is
NN Sept. Is, 1918, French and
" Serbian troops broke through
the Bulgarian line of defenses IN
the Balkan peninsula and advanced
rapidly into the second line of de-
fenses.
The situation of the Bulgarian
army was critical at the end of the
days fighting, a gap having been
made between the First and Second
army groups.
American troops on the newly
won front north of ST. Mihiel con-
tinued to improve their positions
and spent most of the day in a
series of local attacks, designed to
strengthen their positions.
British and French forces pressed
forward in Picardy, making inpor-
tant, though slight, gains.

SCIENCE
Universities Join to Build
Second Largest Telescope
IN the World.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

A N 80-inch rejecting telescope is
N to be built under a joint ar
rangement between the University
of Chicago and the University Of
Texas, it just has been announced.
The telescope will be the second
largest in the world. AT the pres
ent time, the largest telescope in the
world is the 100-inch reflector at the
Mt. Wilson observatory.
The second largest is the 72-inch
reflector at the Dominion Astro-
physical observatory at Victoria, B.
C. The third largest is the 69-inch
reflector at the Perkins observatory
at Ohio Wesleyan university, Della
ware, o.
Announcement that construction
of the S0-inch reflector will be un-
dertaken Immediately is made by
Frederick Woodward, ce-president
of the University of Chicago. IN
der the agreement, the University Of
Texas will build and maintain the
observatory, while the University Of
Chicago will provide the director
and staff of observers.
AS a result, the University Of Chi
cago, which now operates the Yerkes
observatory, will abandon its orig
inal plan of building a second OBJ
servatory somewhere in the south.
The announcement from the Uni
versity of Chicago calls the new
plan a significant new form Of sci
entific cooperation, which will, by
conservative estimate, save the
waste of approximately S1,O00,0 900 by
eliminating duplication of equip
ment."

Because Of the lack of income, the

Look for Something Soft

NTE are given brains with which
w to think, not so much for
other people as to improve and make
use of our own talents. We have
come to regard politics as a
gambling game, to be decided by
ballots, source Of soft jobs to be
gained through pull, a scheme OF
getting things for the party.
That is not thinking, even in the
simple field of objectives. Politics
has just one excuse for existence,
and that is to improve government,
to provide better laws, and create a
wiser administration of justice.
This can not be done without
serious study and serious thought,
not with the idea of hurting some
body, or getting something good for
ones self, but for the purpose of
helping through individual effort.
That's the way men in trade and
professional life go at their work,
and that is why they forever are
producing results of real value.
Look how the home, the highway,
the manufacturing plant, the school,
the hospital, have improved during
the last half century. It has taken
honest, conscientious work, made
possible only by high ideals.

Hoover took nobody into his con-
fidence at the time. Or at the very
least, he might set down upon paper
his clear conception of what the
future had in store and then
wrapped it up in a parcel plainly
labeled mot to be opened till
Christmas"
AS it happens, we have nothing
now but the presidential assurance
that he knew it all along. And in
accepting that we are moved to
worry as to all present presidential
palmistry.
When the great engineer gazes
into the crystal and tells us, as he
has done within the last few days,
that the worst is over as long as
we follow him, just what are we to
believe?
Is this for once a genuine fore
cast of the future or is the kind
gentleman merely telling us what
he thinks We would like to hear?

Il four years ago hardly were de-
signed to endure through the ages.
But it is a little surprising that they
were so transient that even Mr..
Hoover himself does not seem to
remember what he said.
We are told now that the hammer
blows which prevented the early
return of good times under Re-
publican leadership came from
abroad. Europe, in somewhat mali
cious way, went broke and in falling
atripped Harold K. Prosperity who,
believe it or not, was standing on a
street corner waiting for a trolley.
When Mr.. Prosperity was revived
later in the hospital he declared
that he was just on his way to
the Hoover home when he became
involved with the ailing aliens.
Now that might be a most con-
vincing story if it were not set
alongside declarations made by Mr..
Hoover himself in 1928. At that
time he was not in the least worried
about hard times across the water.
In fact, the candidate took great
delight in one certain speech in
which he named the amount of but
ter an American workingman could
buy each year and contrasted that
with the meager dab which fell
within the capacity Of the foreign
laborer.
1t was all done with tariffs. It al
ways had been and always would
be. Indeed, there was the distinct
intimation that the woeful state of
the world beyond our doors in some
way contributed to our own well
being.
We were invited to look down
from the golden bar Of our heavenly
estate and contemplate with salts
faction the plight of those who
knew not Hoover and the benefits
Of Republican rule.

I'm 1923 they told us that Herbert
L. Hoover, for all his qualities of

An Assassin Dies

IN the cool twilight Of Wednesday
L morning a mans head was
chopped off at Paris. He had killed
the president Of France, though for
what reason nobody seems to know.
His own explanations are so con-
fused and incoherent as to be
worthless.
The man was doctor. He
might have prolonged many lives by
sticking to his profession. Instead,
he shortened one in obedience to
some half-baked political idea.
He was allowed only a few weeks
to think it over, and then made to
travel the road of his victim. Assas-
slnation is uncommon, but a lot of
our political activities represent the
same kind of futile nonsense in
principle.
