Pinchot for Pinchot.
(New York Herald Tribune

The expected has happened in Governor Clifford Pinchots announcement of his candidacy for the Republican nomination against Senator David A. Reed. No who has followed his actions in the State House for the last three years has ever had a doubt where his ambitions lay. A high-powered press bureau has been busy carrying accounts of his hand-to-hand struggle with the captalistic octopi has been built up, strong enough in 1880 to win him the nomination for Governor against the Ware machine He aided by the luck of three cornered fight in the primary. In the election he won although the Ware forces under supported the Democratic candidate.
 It is difficult to estimate the strength of this personal machine today. In saying MT. Pinchot will not be nominated' Senator Reed may or may not be understanding the efficacy of the Gov ernors skllful appeal to the people, combined with what the Senator calls "his cynical use in secret of methods that he denounces in public"
 But unmistakably Governor Pinchot's implacable ambition to go to Washington makes clear possi- bilty of Pennsyvana's being represented by a Democratic Senator for the first time in years His bitter attack upon Senator Reed in announcing his candidacy, gives a cew to the character of the Icampaign he is prepared to wage He undertakes on the other hand to capitalize the Roosevelt popularity by intimating his sole ambition is to work with the President to restore prosperity" Should MT. Pinchot be defeated by only narrow margin he would seek to run as an independent the Republican vote would obviously increase the Democratic chances.
 But the Governor, who is approaching his sixty ninth birthday, doubtless realizes that this may be his last political fling. His past record shows how he used the Republican Party to advance ms own ambitions. He scarcely be expected now to place its welfare above his own

THE CYCLE OF PENSIONS.

Survey of pension legislation in the United States shows an almost invarable cycle following every war, with the costs of pensions mounting steadily for a long period of years. First, compension is paid to those actually injured in fighting. Then all those with disabilities aggravated by service are added to the list Then the veterans who are in need become eligible for pensions Finally, all who in made beneficiaries of Federal funds Along with this extension of the pension system the amount of pensions increases.
 There is neither logic justice in the expan- sion of the cost of war through the decades after It is the process of political pressure gaining momentum as time goes one. However carefully an Administration establishes a policy of aiding only those veterans who have valid claim the American people because of injuries received in military service the general pension eventually wins the backing of vote-seeking Congressmen, and the people pay the bill.
 President Roosevelt has dealt severe blow to this campaign of attrition by which the cost of pensions had been increasing through the years. Repeatedly he has given warning that he will veto any bill for the immediate payment of bonus to veterans. Yet the President alone will have hard time holding down the cost of pensions to a reasonable figure, if he does not have the backing of Congress and public opinion.
 This is not a of opposing the compensation of men who have just claim their country in return for services rendered and injuries received Payments to veterans injured in service are i'll fact larger than a year ago. These veterans are being taken of and the public is prepared to pay the bill cheerfully. But whenever the short sighted vote-seekerS in Congress begin a raid the Treasury for the benefit of veterans a clars, without regard to their wartime injuries the Administration and the people must be their guard Only by zealous defense of public funds against unwarranted spending hope to keer pension legislation from becoming racket.

ASKING THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Petitions and resolutions urging the Board Of Liquor Control when it shall become legally con stituted, to establish municipal liquor stores, have been passed by the City Councils of several com munities What action the Board will take is, of course, not predicted here. In the first place it take until Congress passes and the Pres- dent approves the repeal bill. And what is still more important, the Board is the sole judge of what its power is and what it considers the best public policy.
 Those who insistent municipal liquor stores ought to study carefully the law which the Legislature passed creating the Board. It fairly defines the powers and duties of the Board. In Section two, the following language is contained:
 It shall be the duty of the Board of
 Liquor Control to prescribe rules and regula-
 tions to the manufacture, barter, sale
 and possession of intoxicating liquors in the
 Territory of Alaska; to prescribe the quail
 fications of those who to engage in the
 manufacture, barter sale and possession of
 intoxicating liquors in the Territory of AL
 aska and to prescribe license fees and excise
 taxes
 The language seems to indicate that the Legis- lature had in mind sale by agencies other than those operated by the public, either local or the Territory Private sale was apparently in the minds of the lawmakers Under the first section of the above paragraph, if there no further language municipal Territorial liquor stores might be possible. But under the additional directions oi the concluding words after the semi-colon, fair construction of the whole sentence to indicate that private and not public sale was the aim and intent of the Legislature and that the Boards function is to fix license fees excise taxes and to prescribe such further and additional regulations as it deems for the best interest of the public.

the long-existent controversy about cosmic rays. The situation between Dr. Compton and Dr. Millkan. until the results of the Settle-Fordney ascension were disclosed, that both agreed that mixture of radiation and electrical particles was entering cosmic ray instruments. Dr. Compton be- leved, however that the radiation formed when the particles entering the earths atmosphere hit air atoms and was, therefore secondary effect. Dr. Millikan maintained that the radiation observed was what entered the stratosphere the primary effect and that the electrical particles observed were knocked out of atoms as secondaries when the radiation hit them The found high in the stratosphere Dr. Compton's report indicated to him, at least. that the incoming primary cosmic rays almost completely particle in nature. It remains be if Dr. Millikan will agree to that conclusion.

COsMIC RAYS IN THE STRATOSPHERE

When Dr Arthur O. Compton of the University of Chicago recently told the American Physical Society of the Sette-Fordney stratosphere flight last Summer he disclosed findings that may lay to rest the controversy as to whether cosmc rays are particles or radiation when they enter the earths atmosphere.
 In the intervening months between the time when the stratosphere voyagers came down un- harmed until the meeting, Dr. Compton and his associate Dr. S. J. Stephenson, have been checking the automatic instrument sent aoft and interpreting the data obtained.
 The two main findings are: CD Cosmic rays entering the stratosphere composed largely, or entirely of electrically charged particles CD there exists high above the earth another type of ray that is a particle without electrical charge.
 The nature of the cosmic rays is what caused

encountered as a working girl" led
her to believe that this form of life
was necessary for the betterment of
society.

widowed mother, Mrs. Thompson be-
came employed at the age of l6, and
had continued to work until her mar
