BUILT ON MISTAKEN

There is persistent and more or
less effective attempt by large numbers
of present day would-be philosophers
and some educators to decry and laugh
at many of the ethical beliefs and
standards held by much Of humanity
through several hundred years. They

long time standards and class them as
only man-made Inventions simply the
product Of the mind of humanity on its
way up from savagery to civilization.
Explain them away as they will, these
destroyers of longtime standards are
wholly unable to discount the fact that
apparently there is some power in life
standing for what is termed righteous
ness and a power that will not be
denied
Anyone who has pondered the ex-
periences of life must recognize the
existence of this apparent power and
that when its dictates are violated

example Of this is seen in the expert

that brought the United States depart

ceiving what was before him he fled
to what he hoped would be a safe sane
tuary in Greece, There he has fought
desperately against return to the United

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ =

TIME, world Of science has been remade since the
L beginning of the twentieth century Inc nlne-
teenth century drew near it's cid with leelhg
upon the part of scientists that they had erected
unified and rounded structure which would stand for
all time.
Then lust before the end of the century came the
discovery of X-rays followed in few years by tne
discovery of radium, and science was OIL 10 a ne"
start building new structure which put ASIDE the
simple positive elements Of the nineteenth century
and replaced them with such elusive elements as the
election the quantum, relatively and wave mechanics
The good fortune to participate in the work OF
both centuries was given to a small group OF sclen-
lists One who helped round off the nineteenth cen
tory as well as to pioneer in the twentieth IS SIR
Oliver Lodge.
Today he is past go And from that vantage point
he has put down the story Of his life in a DOCK
called Past Years" 1t is published by S2rlDner s
at $3.50.
CIR OLIVER LODGE is known in general way
- to the public as a very famous scientist. But 1t
is doubtful if any persons other than ms feIIoW-
scientists realize just how important role ne has
played
He was one of the great pioneers in the develop
ment of radio. He did work upon the wave theory
light prior the time that Heinrich Hertz proved
the existence Of HertZan waves, or radio waves as
We call them today.
1t was Sir divers work which made possible the
solution Of many problems involved IN the trans
mission Of radio waves.
In Past Years" he writes with that same charm
ing simplicity and clarity which makes his many
successful books Of popular science. incidentally he
speaks about the genesis Of some OF these books,
particularly his Heroes Of Science" book which l
regard as one of the most delightful books Of the
sort ever written.

Eliminates the life Of great scientist, telling the
influences that made him what he is and IN turn the
influence which he exerted upon the world.
The world has produced few figures so Ioyable
and so ma gnIhcent as Sir Oliver Lodge.
It has been my great privilege to meet Sir Oliver
on a number Of occasions.
I recall, particularly the picture he made at a
soiree Of the British Association Of the Advance
ment OF Science upon the campus OF the University
Of Liverpool.
The crowd was a brilliant one Tor full dress,
academic robes and medals are in order at soree Of
the British association.
Suddenly caught sight Of a magnificent figure
coming across the grass He was old man. as his
bald head and white beard testified. Bur he was
square-shouldered and erect and looked about six
feet tall The black and white Of his full dress
accentuated the brilliant red Of the oxford gown
which he wore open. Upon his breast were some OF
the most coveted decorations Of the British empire
There was furry Of whispers he approached the
crowd. It Sir Oliver Lodge.

needed for the debating teams.
The editors expressed the view
that Yale may have had the
easiest side Of the argument.
But losses at football, baseball,
rowing, debating, or what not al
ways left the Crimson editorial
staff under Frank" Roosevelt,
still self-assured and somewhat
cocky. They had a historic head
start on their most ardent rival
Yale-and nothing could take
that away from them.
Thus, when the paper began
specializing, in the winter of 1904,
about the need of a new gym
nasium, the editors, without men
tioning Old Eli and its mmificent
gifts, pointed out that Harvard
has no fairy godfathers to give
millions"
Then the conclusion was drawn
that after all they could get along
rather we'll without such benefac-
tors although always on the look
out for them).
I'VE have been pretty web at
the head of the procession for 300
years." the editorial complacent-
ly concluded.

First on schedule is South Caro-
lina's election Aug. %. This is a
state the drys are almost sure to
hold. South Carolina was one of
the two states to vote against re-
peal.
Maine votes next, on Sept. 10,
and the outcome is more doubt
full. VETS have an excellent
chance of winning. Maine voted
2 to l for repeal and since then
has come up against local
problem that makes a strong talk
ing point for legalization of IL
quor. At present, Maine citizens
may drive into neighboring wet
states and return with all the Ii
quor they want. The state loses
the tax it might collect if sales
took place at home. Important
papers in the state are urging
that liquor sales be permitted as
source of new revenue. The state
already has legalized beer.
Seven more states vote Nov. 6
on liquor. III the list are Florida,
Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South

hopes particularly on West Vir-
ginia and Wyoming.

Resolved, That the United
States should permit the Euro
pean governments to seize and
hold permanently territory of the
debtor state not exceeding in
value the amount of the award"
The question dealt with South
American debts owed to Europe.
Harvard won, upholding the af-
flrmative side. The debate seems
significant in the light of history,
with President Roosevelt facing
the countries of Europe with the
United States the creditor nation.
But Editor Roosevelt took no part
in such controversy so far as the
pages of the Crimson can dis
close.
TTERE is the comment in the
Il IL editorial column on that re-
markable debate:
mo one who attended the de-
bate last night could help being
impressed by its extreme close
ness. Each side showed by its
clear presentation that it had
studied the question thoroughly,
and it was very gratifying to learn
that our team was judged to have
eXcelled in such a contest.
The interest excited by the

question and the general excel
Ience Of the work of both sides
served to make one of the best
debates we have had for years.
The contest was one in which it
was a splendid achievement to
come away victorious, but in
which it was no disgrace to fin
ish second. Our debaters and
coach deserve the gratitude Of the
university for the manner in
which they performed their hard
task"
Never a word was said about
the content of the debate nor its
application to world affairs then,
or in the future.
The next fall, Yale won the de-
bate on the subject
Resolved, That the history of

cOVery act.

any such acts Of puerile vandal-
ISM" the editorials advocated.
THROUGHOUT that year
Il Crimson editorials cited the
fact that Harvard Union was real
ly a club, open to dues-paying
members only. Each spring the
union elections were held, the
nominating committee selecting
the states.
Much attention was devoted by
the editors to this slate selection
and here, if not elsewhere, they
were stanch advocates of demo-
cratic principles. They urged
members to run for the various
union offices and for all who
would to present names as ut is
only by the cooperation of all
that the present system can OBJ
tain the best possible results"
They urged that nominations be
made from the floor by those who
were dissatisfied with the COM
mittee selections and that in each
instance the best man be Sc
lected."
When election day rolled around
the paper published no favorite
slate, but confined editorial COM
ment to a fervent plea to come
out and vote
EDITORIAL boldness seldom
Z marked the Crimson pages
and when Managing Editor
Roosevelt became president of
the Crimson in his final year. The
paper doomed largely on the bust
ness side, the editorial campaign
being confined mostly to repeated
comments on the lack of proper
enthusiasm for organized cheer
ing" and similar matters.
Finally, the cheering campaign
proved successful and the paper
went a step further and advocat-
ed mass singing.
Throughout the two-year period
of the RooSeveltian editorship and
presidency of the Crimson, grave
questions were being discussed by
various speakers at the school and
the debates were unusually note
worthy, so far as selection of sub
jects was concerned.
The editorial column OCCASION
ally took notice of these things,
but it never took sides.
For example, on March %, 1903,
Harvard met Yale in debate on
the subject:
