FORSAKING THE SINKING SHIP
Just as the rats are said to forsake
a sinkiing ship, so are the supporters
of the Administration in its stand
against modification of the Treaty of
Peace, forsaking President Wilson in
his remarkable stand against Treaty
reservation or amendment. The great
majority of the United States Senators
who are members of the some party
■as Mr. Wilson have stood loyally by
him up to the last moment. Mr. Wil
son, by his action, made the ratifica
tion of the unamended Treaty a party
question. There is every reason to
believe that .some of the most prom
inent supporters of the Presidential
policies have shaped their actions to
conform with such policies rather
than with their own private views. We
believe that the majority of the Sen
ators of both parties, at heart, be
lieve in the soundness of the reserva
tions reported by the foreign relations
committee.
But Senator Underwood and other
prominent Senators have shown that
they feel that they have followed the
President long enough and that now
is the time for them to follow their
©wn convictions. Even Senator Hitch
cock, who has been looked upon as
the mouthpiece of the Administration
on Treaty matters in the Senate, has
shown signs of restiveness, to say the
least.
President Lowell, of Harvard Uni
versity, who has been one of the
staunch supporters of President Wil
son’s stand, now says that ‘“Article
X is not well adapted to promote
peace, and does involve obligations I
advise the Adminstration Senators to
which it is not wise to accept.” We
acquiesce in a reservation to Article
X.
Now comes the New York World
which has made the strongest fight
without reservations that has been
I
made by any ^newspaper in the coun
try, and advocates compromise. The
World, in admitting defeat uses
these words:
“The United States Senate, has a
great constitutional duty to perform
in relation to the treaty, and it should
|
discharge that duty without further
delay. The President’s hope of an
unqualified ratification of the treaty
cannot be realized, much to our regret.
Senator Lodge’s reservations have
been decisively beaten, much to our
delight. But there is left a great mid
dle ground of compromise, and it is
the business of the two factions to
take into consideration all the ob
jections that the President has raised
to changes in the treaty and to make
the resolution of ratification as j
whole-hearted a response on the part
of the United States as the situation
permits.”
We believe that, in the above words,
the World has given frank expres
sion to the views which it has held
all along. We have thought that the
World has been animated more by a
desire to support the Administration
than by a sincere conviction that the
Legue of Nations would benefit Amer
ica. But the time has come when
all loyal Americans must choose be
tween their support of Mr. Wilson’s
policies and their duty to their coun
try. The time has come to throw
party regularity to the winds and
unite with those who have stood firm
against the encroachment upon our
liberties, against entangling foreign
alliances and against new and untried
plans for world dominion. .The time
has come to choose between Ameri
canism and Internationalism. The
voters in every Congressional election
which has so far been held within
the past year have decided against
Internationalism. It is not necessary
to inquire further, but if the admin
istration forces insist upon submitting
the question to the voters of the en
tire nation they will be able to un
derstand how Jess Willard felt when
Dempsey had got through with him.
If you want people to think you are
rich, stand on the street and make a
noise like a dozen eggs.—Hyder Miner.
The Bolsheviki seem to be gaining
ground very rapidly in Siberia. This
is getting them close to Alaska. Some
of our own Bols will be slipping across
soon to join theeir friends.—Douglas
News.

New Theory of Relativity May Upset All
Ideas of Physical Science.
By R. D. CARMICHAEL, Scientist and Author.
It is reported that astronomers and physicists of England are just
now greatly interested.in what seems to many to be a demonstration of
the new principle of relativity, which has been a subject of hot debate
among scientists for the last few years.
An examination of photographic plates taken during the solar eclipse
of last May shows a deflection of the rays of light from the stars in their
passage past the sun of 1.7 seconds of arc, just the amount predicted by
Einstein’s theory of relativity.
The many considerations which arise in this new theory suggest the
desirability or even the necessity of a fresh analysis of the foundations of
physical science. The present state of affairs will probably give rise to a
considerable body of controversial literature in scientific circles. If the
outcome of this controversy is the acceptance in the main of the theory of
relativity, it will lead to a great modification of our views of the nature
which surrounds us. We will be forced to analyze anew the philosophical
foundations of science, and the grounds of our confidence in its conclusions
will be modified by a new penetrating analysis.
It is not inconceivable that we are at the beginning of a period in
which the world of scientific thought will be turned upside down by such
new theories as that of relativity, and we shall have to seek anew the means
to anchor our intellectual life. Such experience, though unpleasant,
always leads to progress.
