SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1928 THE WEEK Nicaraigua elected without the usual corruption and trouble the Liberal candidate General Moncada, while the largest vote ever polled in the United States gave Herbert Hoover, Republican, the most electoral candidate. Governor Smith announced his retirement from politics while parts of the South squawed over the way the election had gone. Two air heroes crashed to death in the Yankee Doodle on its return trip to the East after a record breaking night, while in New Zealand Commander Byrd made preparations for his trip into the South Polar Regions. The Poincare cabinet resigned in $\vec{A}$ body after four socialist members had quit, the Romanian cabinet found it was no longer wanted and because of differences the South African government was forced to resign. Turkey adopted a new alphabet while Italy celebrated its Armistice Day. A Japanese Consul. Empress was enthralled with her husband for the first time in the history of the Empire and the Mexican court found Joce De Loan Toral, guilty of the murder of General Oliver Gore. STUDENT CO-OPERATION At a time when student government is being severely criticized on nearly every campus, K. U. may well "point with pride" to such actions as that taken by the Men's Student Council in appropriating two hundred dollars to send the hand to the Missouri game. Also, as still more money is necessary for the band's expenses, a similar appropriation will be considered by the Women's Student Government Association at the next meeting. Long faces were the rule in Mac's camp) Tuesday evening after the announcement had been made from the athletic office that funds from that department would not be available for the customary trip this year because of the $5,000 theft last Saturday. That the band is a distinct asset at games and is deserving of the Missouri trip is generally conceded. Funds were the only barrier. Both the Councils are to be especially credited in so conducting their affairs as to have an available reserve large enough to take care of such an emergency. Practically the entire income of both the Men's Council and the W. S. G. A. comes from the Varsity dance, while a total of nearly a hundred Hill activities, from the K books to the student directory, are subsidized from the funds of the councils. Another equally commendable measure was the action of the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Council in advancing the thousand dollars rentals necessary to complete the dance floor of the Union building earlier this fall. When this sum is added to the appropriation for the band, something of the stability of student government at K. U. may be realized. NOW WHAT! Are the hungry junggs of comparative oblition about to gobble up another unsuccessful presidential candidate? Overwhelmed by a terrible majority, defeated even in his native state, will Governor Alfred E. Smith become one of the dim lights of the political future. It is known that Roosevelt, an ex-president, was a threat for re-election as long as he lived. Bryan, coming very near to election at least once, was before the public for many presidential campaigns. In recent years, however, those failing to reach the White House by reason of defense have slipped completely from the public gaze. The new public hears but little of Hughes, Cox or Davis. Will the reputation of Governor Smith as an administrator in New York State, much so advertised during the recent campaign, be sufficient, to maintain him as an idol to his followers and more to attempt to elevate him to some great office? Or will he be cast aside in the political whirl? After all is campaign enthusiasm sincere for more than the moment? ARMISTICE DAY Ten years ago two great opposing groups of power powers signed an armistice to end hostilities. With the end of the bloody fighting came rejoicing throughout the world. And in place of the horror of war came the problems of readjustment and reconstruction. It was a terrible conflict; it cost humanity a terrible price. It was hoped that this would be the last war. Movements for the restriction of armed conflict have taken more concrete form as a consequence. The League of Nations was an effort (whether successful or not is still debatable) in that direction. Conference of representatives of the various world powers have been held from time to time to study mutual problems and strive for a greater degree of international cooperation. America sponsored the Washington Disarmment conference as a move to restrict the further possibility of war, and now the Kellogg peace pact has been signed in the hope that it may accomplish something toward the elimination of strife between nations. It is obligatory that these steps be taken to relegate the scourge of war to the past. The world owed it to itself to put up the sword and make war no more. These efforts are only fitting in memory of that vast throng of heroes manhood that went down in the great struggle—and of the agony and suffering of mothers, wives, sweethearts and all who felt strongly the bitter torture of war.

Today's Best Editorial Child Labor Day this year falls late in January, but a duty devises upon the American people to make ready for that day, to the end that constructive work may be accomplished in this respect as early as a child's seventh birthday. CHILD LABOR The National Child Labor Committee defines a proper law for the protection of children as follows: (1) at any physical or morally hazardous age as a minimum all gainful employment of children under fourteen, and the work of any child under sixteen, This year the Legislatures of 43 States have passed a new law that Mets most opportunely, with the people in these states a splendid chance to bring their child labor laws into effect. It is to the Nation's shame that the present year finds the American people still permitting much of the nature of their bodies and mature shoulders of their children. It is much to be hoped that great preparation will be made at once and up to January 28, to the end that these discrimination against little ones may be delivered from the most important sources and have been known in two thousand years. These children, very largely, are deprived of opportunity for education and are insufficiently protected as to their employment, and hours of work. Cincinnati Enquirer Michelson's Ether Drift Announcement Is Most Recent Relativity Chapte Washington, Nov. 10 - When Prof A. A. Michelson of the University & Chicago, announced at the recent meeting of the American Optical Society, the latest results of his work on ether drift, he returned to one of his first and most famous researches. He also wrote the latest chapter in a history which he begun, and in which the theory of relativity, that made famous the name of Einstein, plays an important part. It was in 1887 that Michelson invented the apparatus of Optical Science in Cleveland, collaborated with his colleague, Prof E. W. Morley, in performing the new classical Michelson-Morley experiment. "Inside Stuff" --when the reader becomes inference gradually, just as he would if he were in the midst of events, or when he is not concentrating on the event itself. Thus the newspaper has news and is interesting, while the reader has publicity and is interested. "Oh, we don't have the complete program yet. Wait a few days until we find out about it." That's another alibi for not giving a reporter information. Eat the complete programs are not wanted, right off the bat. News develop from day to day. A reporter will be publishing a magazine and not a newspaper. When the date for a meeting is set, that's news. When the principal speaker is invited, that's news; and when he accepts or rejects, that's more news. If a bouquet is plummed, that's another event before the event, probably a general story giving the complete program is still news. Our Contemporaries TIME OUT An hour of football requires from two to three hours of actual playing time. Four hours of classes and twelve hours of actual time. On the football field, the stop match discriminates by including movement in the activity and mental play. In school, there is one to hold the stop watch on each side with a wristwatch and preliminaries. Were Chronix, the father of time, to hold a stop watch on the average university student, or to teach five half hours to fifty minutes for the trip to claim in the morning, an average of perhaps fifteen minutes. Ten minutes between one hour and fifty minutes. The fifteen minutes used by the professor to tell you one of his latest horrors of humor, or so he would not be numbered among the moments of actual work. The stop watch would continue to go off and on throughout the day, in an accumulate, and the subject of such a chronological experiment, con- tributed with his time chart at the university, was in the same class with trumpets. Someone will raise the argument that the moments required to run back and forth across the campus, the time spent studying, and other interferences to break the monotony of the day are of recreational value. Anyone who works at the job of a student working any of his employees in the manner that the average university student works bimmer? What would happen if I worked as a babee who ran from one machine to another all day long or a clerk who settled down to study one ledger or two? How would you find the proper ledger, the proper page, and the proper column and another ten minutes to replace the old ledger, the crew, or returns to another ledger? If one could only contend all the odd moments of waiting for a class to begin, and if one could sit down for the class, you would stand of five hours a vavious intervals with a ten minute nick for preliminaries at each end of each hour, before walking back into everything. Everyone could finish his five foot shuffle and be possessed of a set of shoes that go in for athletics, publications, politics, music, art, and society. In fact, the human race would be a race of athletic giants—Minnesota Daily. Up to that time scientistials were generally agreed in supposing that light waves travelled through a squeezed space of matter, which was called earlier. If the other was in all space, then it would be possible to detect the earth's motion through air at a speed of about twenty miles per second. If a beam of light is divided into two parts then sent in directions of eight degrees, the light waves are mirrors back and recombined, light and dark bands may appear. These are due to the light waves getting tangled up, and interfering, and are called interfering. Crested Stationery Then physicists began to search around for some explanation of why this effect did not occur. The Dutchman, Prod. H. A. Janssen, was convinced the Lorentz-Fitzpatrick contraction. This was that motion through space produces and actual shrinkage of physical objects, which would just balance the effect of gravity. If such a contraction would be similarly affected, it would be impossible to detect this contraction. Finally, as a further development of these ideas, Einstein proposed in 1906 a theory of relativity which is followed by his renowned thesis in 1915. Motion through an other would produce the same effect as a lengthening of one of the beams, and so would theoretically cause the moon to move toward the direction of the light paths with respect to the earth's motion. Prof. Mobelheim and Prof. Morkey tried the experiment, but without success. So small was it that they attributed it to unavoidable errors. Other experiments were later devised to show the same effect, but more accurately the movement of the earth's drifting through ether. In the ten years after the publication of Einstein's paper, the three "proofs" of the theory he suggested were all plausible. The plausibility of the strange behavior of the sun Mercury. Another was the beating of light waves as they passed near the sun, shown by observations of the sun's surface. It was the shift in the lines of the sun's spectrum when compared with spectra of light from terrestrial sources. Accordingly, it was also the theory that was placed in just about as firm a foundation as a theory could be. If one loom of light has to travel a little longer than the other, the bands are moved and so the method is not needed for measuring minute displacements. In one form this interferometer has proved a valuable scientific measure. Miller Obtained Small Effects But a difficulty appeared in 1925, Dr. Dayton C. Miller, professor of meteorology at the University of Science, where Michelon had first performed his experiment, tried it again. Miller obtained small effects, less than had originally been exchanged for consistent. They seemed to show a motion of the earth towards part of the sky near the constellation of Lyra. Astronomers actually recognize the results seemed rather convincing. Experiment Was Disappointing Cowlands Two Stores Thought efforts were made at the time to get Prof. Mielson to comment on this result, surprising to science because it did show an effect, he said. Your Guests Leave voicing admiration or silently condeming your service. Let us show you our silver water pitcher, sandwich bowl, and stainless steel comment on your good taste. nothing. However, he was not satisfied with the situation so he set out to repeat the experiment himself. In the meantime other scientists tried to observe observations from a balloon, but none confirmed Professor Miller's results. All gave the same negative result that had been obtained before. He then repeated the experiment with the Machian Murley experiment Professor Miller pointed out that Michelon had obtained a slight effect, attributed to experimental errors, and not to real differences in his observations. Michelon said nothing, but continued his preparations to repeat the experiment on a far more accurate scale than ever before. If he wanted it to be obvious that it was real, but if it were eliminated or greatly reduced, then it would be apparent that in originally attributing it to experimental errors he The apparatus was set up in one of the buildings of the Mount Wilson Observatory in Pasadena, which the 100 inch mirror of the observatory's most reflective telescope had been ground was used to support that telescope, and similarly, as and repeated by Miller, the observer had to walk around it as it turned, and at the same time manipulate the instrument as was so arranged that the observer made his observations from the room above. Through an eyepiece, above the instrument.

Last September he went on a visit to make a sample of observations. o center of the monitor Michelson Announces Results New he has announced his results. With the motion of the earth of approximately 29 miles per second, the theoretical displacement due to drift through the other should be equal to one half the width of the "I found no shift as large as a thousandth the width of a band," Professor Michelson said. As the very slight observed shift is about a tenth of what he got in 1867, it now seems certain that it is due to experimental errors, and that the larger effect obtained by Professor Miller was due to some other factor. Just what this cause he does is not clear, and neither does Professor Miller. As Others See It RUMANIA OUSTS BRATIANU The political crisis in Rumania has long been overdue. Vladimir Bratianu who has just resigned as president, was born in Rumania and is the first he. He succeeded him largely to maintain the tradition of Bratianu as head of state and maintain Rumania the kingdom's birth. It is to be hoped that the regency will have the good sense to call to power the only popular political party in Mauritius, head of the National Peasant party, the strongest organized political group in the country. Under any circumstances, the long ago age have held the reins of power. Had its leader been so disposed, he might have ousted the Brestua regime months ago by revival. The ostensible reason for foreseeing Britannia to retire is the refusal of the peasant party to join in celebrations of Transylvania with old Rumania. The peasant control 78 percent of Transylvanian's votes and without their help the majority would have been a mockery. With their leader installed as Premier the Peasant party would become truly nationalist in the war. —Brooklyn Eagle OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Val.
