THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Presidents delay in naming his permanent
attorney general is interpreted in Washington as
meaning that he wants time to find man of the
caliber of Senator Walsh. That will be difficult
But it is encouraging that the President has not
done the easy thing, under the pressure of many
duties, of appointing one of half dozen political
hacks striving for the Job.
The President probably will not be able to replace
Senator Walsh a general cabinet adviser of
long experienced craftsmanship. But there are
younger men whose exceptional ability, either as
great lawyers or as public servants, is undoubted
Some of them are well known to Mr. Roosevelt
1t is reported, for instance that he is consider
ing for the post such men as Felix Frankfurter Of
Harvard law school; former Governor Philip La
Toilette OF Wisconsin; Huston Thompson former
member of the federal trade commission and pres
ent government counsel in the important New river
utility case. and Donald Richberg of Chicago
Homer S. Cummings of Connecticut is certain to
serve the President acceptably pending a perma-
nent appointment.

regard to the question of the
recognition of Soviet Russia"
And the prophet might have
added, And he will be giving
them sound and sane advice"
Possibly I have set too large a
gap between frozen fish and
United States senators, but I do
want to indicate that not only has
Al Smith grown with the years,
but that he keeps on growing.
When somebody points out his de-
f1ciencies and limitations as an
early Tammany stalwart, I think
the picture tends to magnify
rather than dwarf Smith.
Most of our public men arrive
at their ultimate mental stature
about the age of 40 and then,
with any luck, manage to stick
there. Some others slide. Few in
deed have sufficient elasticity of
thought to meet new ideas and
take them over.
In regard to Russia, one might
assume that Smiths whole back
ground would impel him into the
traditional native point Of view
that a Russian is a Bolshevist,
that a Bolshevist is a man with
long whiskers and a bomb, and
the less said about him the better.
I was about to say that Al kept
a jump ahead of his countrymen
because he has read a book. But
I doubt that he has. Certainly
not very many books. His ed
ucation processes are curious. I
gather that he listens. And it

4 Smith never will be President
of the United States, but his name
is almost sure to go down in
American history among that very
distinguished group of men emf
nently fitted for the post, but who
lost out because of irrelevant fac
tors over which they had no con-
troll.
And even so I think the case of
Smith is a little different. He
was opposed bitterly in 1928 be-
cause he was four years ahead Of
his time on the prohibition issue
and because of his religion.
Yet there is something even
more fundamental in the fear
which politicians feel in regard to

IN the Pacific

A SUCCESSFUL test Of the
1 N star displacements REQUIRES
that a large number Of stars be
near the sun at the time Of eclipse.
Professor w H. Wright and his
associates at the Lick observatory
have been studying the conditions
under which eclipses will occur
for the next twenty years to check
up this point. They agree that
the 1884 eclipse will be the best
one.
There IS only one difficulty with
the eclipse Of 1884. The place from
which it must be viewed is Losap
island, a rather inaccessible island
in the Pacific.
It is not on any steamship
line. A neighboring island. how
ever, known as Turk island. is a
port Of call for one Of the subsid-
larry services Of the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha line.
SaiIings are about a month
apart and the journey from Yoko-
hama takes ten days.

SCIENCE.
Relatively Faces Test
BY DAVID DIETZ

FHE year 1884 will be a critical
Il one for the theory of reIa-
tivity. That is because the solar
eclipse Of that year will provide
the best opportunity of the next
twenty years to study the famous
Einstein displacement of star i'm
ages.
1t will be recalled that the Elm
stein theory Of relatively, although
completed in 1915, aid not come
into worldwide prominence until
1919, when the two British eclipse

Einstein had predicted that
photograph made during the
eclipse Of the sun would show
that the stars, which become visi-
BILE during the moment Of totality,
would be shifted out Of their nor
NAL positions.
This displacement, he said.
would be due to the bending of
the rays Of light from the stars
as thew passed by the disc Of the
sun. This bending is due to the
suns gravitatiOpal field
While the 1910 eclipse results
supported the Einstein theory,

THE President is a symbolic

equality for regarding him with
reverence.

his work in no unreal sense is our

us, doing what a free people de-

Our President is chosen from

better title than the strength of
his intellect and the nobility Of
his character, as these have de-
veloped before our eyes. That, in

The doctor makes his diagnosis
Of this condition not only by the
symptoms that have been men
toned, but also by finding the
germ which causes the disease in
the wound, and sometimes in ma
terial taken directly from lymph
glands near the wound.
Because the germ which causes
this disease is Of the same gen.
eral type as the one which causes
the major venereal disease, it is
customary to treat the condition
with salvarsan or arsphenamine
or, as it was more popularity
known, 6O6.
This has been found to be
specific in controlling this condi-
ton, so that most patients are
quite cured after two injections.

life and times of each President,
read all that his critics have said,
and you will feel that, in the light
of all the facts, a better choice
could not have been made to
match the hour and the task.
Most of the great Presidents re-
vealed their greatest. in time of
trial and tragedy, after the wise
ones wondered why they were
selected at all.
The President is great because
he tolls, not for himself, but for
the upbuilding of humanity and
the glory of God. The nation
has made up its mind: all that
remains is the formality of cast
ing the ballot and announcing the
name Of the new President.
All We ask is that he be of like
kind as those who sat in the White
House before him, both in private
character and public service-iust,

NTHEN human beings are Bit
w ten by animals Of the ro-
dent type, including incidentally
not only the rat, but the weasel
and the pig, and occasionally
even the cat, they sometimes are
infected with a peculiar organism
which produces a disease Of the
whole body.
This disease is characterized by
short attacks of fever alternating
with periods without the fever,
and also an eruption on the skin.
Such cases have been known in
the United States for a century,
and medic9l journals have report
ed approximately 100 of them.
The usual course Of such a case
is as follows: After the person has
been bitten, the wound heals
promptly, unless a secondary in
lection occurs.
From one TO three weeks after
the date On which the patient was
bitten, the spot Of the bite be-
comes red and swollen and the
person who IS infected develops
