Ut seems to me that legislative
4 acts are only systems formed for
law, that are not law until they are
passed upon officially, and proved
to accomplish the intent for which
they we're written, without conflict
ing with the Constitution of the
United States. Any system formed
for law that conflicts with it is
void, and can not become law eX-
cept by united consent Of the
people.
Forming Of a system by the leg
islature for a store license, that
conflicts with the rights of free
people, and prevents a person with
few dollars from making an eff
fort to earn a living at a legitimate
trade makes this system void as a
law.
It can be removed from the
statutes as a blUnder, but it can
not be repealed, as being void in the
making, there is no law for repeal.
As to the ruling Of the supreme
court, that this store license might
be legal under uniformity, with the
rules Of law for taxing according to
ability to pay, can it explain the
discrepancy in the ruling accord
ing to the rules Of law for taxing?
Would not uniformity in this
store license be somewhat similar
to giving a uniform feed that is
adequate for a guinea pig, to an
elephant, and expect it to live? Or
uniform feed that is required for
an elephant, and expect the guinea
pig to consume the same amount?
Is this the way uniformity is to
be figured? If this metaphor does
not do justice to application Of uni
formity to this store license, will
some one else please give views on
this subject?
We employ people to look after
our interests and pay them salaries
that in comparison with those that
produce the necessities for our
existence are eXOrbitant.
Is it our place to define and put
Up the argument to prove the
validity Of the sypStenlS formed by

it that Of the men we pay to look
after our interests in such matters?

tics out of the situation, and the
Philippines wouldn't have
chance. We merely are winding
up a sorry performance in a sorry
way.
Taking the Philippines was con-
trary to our traditions. We needed
no such excuse for contributing
$20,000,000 to Spain. 1t only in
volved us in a war of subjugation
for which we had little stomach
and bound us to a campaign Of
education which we lack the pa
tience to complete.
Worse than all else, it invoved
us in oriental politics and con-
fronted us with a more or less
definite threat of war on the
Pacific.
We are sliding out from under
risks and responsibilities which we
failed to foresee or preferred to
ignore thirty years ago, and it is
useless to pretend otherwise.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTO,

once upon a time an ancient
~ king asked the wise man of
his court to make him a maxim.
What he wanted, he said, was a
law to fit all occasions, truth
to apply in every sort of situation,
that he might fortify himself
against the Whims Of fate.
The wise man pondered the
matter for day and night, and
then gave the king, in these
words, the maxim he sought:
'This, too, shall pass away"
At first the king was puzzled,
not seeing the fact, or law, hidden
in such simple words. But, after
thinking it over, he saw the truth
of the maxim, and that it is as
large as life itself. Are we in
trouble? Does the day run heavily?
Do we find ourselves in a blind
alley, at dead end? Does the
road seem to wind up hill all the
way? Do not be morose or rash;
this, too, shall pass away.
Are you happy? Does everything
come your way? Does all that you
touch turn to success? Beware Of
carelessness and vanity, for this,
too shall pass away
If you are on the high tide, re-
member that tides ebb as well as

Just Plain Sense
. BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
ARE WOMEN COPY CATS?

LIMITATION" it has been said, SIS the sincerest
Il form of f1attery." If this be true then women
never before have been so fatterng to men.
In a good many ways, we behave like bunch of
infants who walk behind and ape ne mannerisms of
adults. So we walk behind and ape the behavior of
men and the saddest thing is that instead of imi-
tatng their finer qualities We choose their faults
to emulate.
True liberty is enjoyed only by the individual who
uses it to fashion good life for himself For in
stance thousands of men who boast of their freedom
from wifes apron string go right out and become
involved with other interruptions women who fleece
and make fools of them. In their cases independ-
ence is hardly worth having
Just so, it is unfortunate that many women think
of freedom in its narrowest terms merely that it
gives them the right TO do as men do.
So far as I can see, the privilege of smoking
cigarets sitting in speakeasies or indulgng in pro-
miscuous love affairs is nothing to boast about
The lowest moron can do that And certainly it was
something more than this that brave women in
England and the United States once suffered ignomi
ny and abuse.
EVEN voting and holding Jobs will avail us moth
H ing if we use these privileges only as men have
used them.
Feminine freedom does mean one very important
thing to us, and one only-that each may do crea-
tive work if she possesses gift and that each shall
be allowed to help fashion a world that is more to
her liking than the old one was or the present one
is. Any other conception Of independence may be
alluring. but it viii not be real or complete
We must be something more than pretty copy
cats, repeating the gestures OF men The world
sadly needs that fine humanitarianism that encom-
passing and au-inclusive maternal helpfulness and
sympathy that long has been counted a feminine
possession.
Unless we can contribute to business, to politics
to religion, some of our essential womannness, the
gift Of ourselves. our freedom will mean nothing
for US or for civilization.

We will get trained educators

Latest Triumph

IGNORING the reseau Or.
Il Trumpler remeasured the
plates, using the same system
which he had employed In 1922
The result again was an agree
ment with the Einstein prediction.
And so, 1882 brought it's latest
triumph for the theory Of
relatively.
At this time, 1t might be well
to sum up the various pieces of
evidence which incline the
scientists Of 1882 to accept the
theory of relatively They are:
The measurements of the eclipse
1892.
Repetitions of the Nicholson
Morley experiment by the Mt.
Wilson astronomers, by DR.. Row
J. Kennedy at the California In
stitute of Technology and by Pro-
fessor George Joos at the Zeiss
optical works in Jena.
In each case, the zero result. de-
manded by the theory Of RELATIVELY
was obtained. THE experiment is
designed to detect the motion of
the earth through space bv
measuring the speed of light
waves in different directions. The
theory of relatively demands that
all such experiments, designed to
disclose absolute motion in space,
must fail; that is, give zero re-
sults.)
A shift toward the red in the
spectrum lines of the sun, re-
quired by the theory Of relatively,
was discovered by DR.. Charles E.
st. John Of the Mt. Wilson
observatory.
A similar shift was found BY
Dr.. Walter S. Adams, director Of
the observatory, in the case Of the
companion star of Sirius.

out of the jungle, training them
for the blessed role of self-gov-

generation, showing the rest of
the world how much faster we
could do the trick than anybody
else could, or than it ever had
been done before.

Today, the manufacturers Of

also thickening creams, thinning

SCIENCE
Einstein Again Upheld
BY DAVID DIETz

TINE year just closed saw one
Il more triumph for the Elm
stein theory of relatively in the
field where the theory first
achieved worldwide note.
Professor Einstein completed
his general theory Of relatively in
1915, While the World war was
in progress. But it was not until
1919, some months after the sign
ing of the armistice, that the
world began to talk about Elm
stein.
One of the predictions of Elm
stein was that the light waves
passing near the sun would be
bent out of their original paths.
This would cause the images Of
stars on a photograph of a total
eclipse to be displaced from their
usual locations.
Two British expeditions set out
to test this prediction at the solar
eclipse of May 90, 1919. 1t was
because these expeditions found
Einstein correct that the great
German scientist became inter
nationally famous.
In 1922 the Lick observatory
sent out an eclipse expedition I'M
der it's director, Dr. w. w. Camp
bell, one of the worlds most noted
eclipse experts.
The weather was better than at
the 1919 eclipse, and DR.. Camp
bell obtained much better photo
graphs. The measurement Of the
displacement Of a great many star
images by DR.. Campbell and DR..
Robert Trumpler verified the Elm
stein prediction more definitely
than the previous measurements.

More Tests

1T became apparent, however,
Il that for many years to come,
part Of the observational program
at every eclipse Of the sun would
be the testing Of the Einstein
prediction.
In 1929 an expedition was sent
out from the Einstein Institute OF
Berlin. This expedition made use
of a technique which it thought
would be an improvement upon
the one used by previous ex-
petitions.
It's telescope camera was
equipped with so-called "reseau,
a network Of fine quartz fbers.
This network was Illuminated SO
that it impressed itself upon the
eclipse photograph, dividing it in
the same fashion that a map is
divided into blocks by parallels Of
latitude and longitude.
Two sets Of photographs were
made. One set was taken during
the eclipse. The other had been
made six months earlier, when the
same stars were to be seen in the
night sky.
Shifts of the stars we're meas
ured by comparing their positions
on each set Of plates with ref
erence to the lines Of the reseau.
These measurements disagreed
with the Einstein prediction by
% per cent, an extremely large
percentage.
1t seemed almost ironic that an
expedition from the Einstein in
stitute should disagree with
Einstein.
