In this he las disap- pointed members of his part has steadfastly refused to clarify carlier belief that nothing more than “limited” revision is necessary. And to cap the climax, it has bee stated and denied that the » President pleased at the manner in which the Insurgents and Democrats have punctured the plan his party to not has been of the old-timers in shove the tariff up to unheralded levels.

We do mot even know much about the possibility of lifo on the other planets of our own solar sys- tem. Of these only Venus and Mars seem at all cligible. Venus is of the same size as the carth, perhaps a little warmer. Astronomers using the spectroscope have concluded that free oxygen does not exist on this planct, and its skies are perpetually clouded. This naturally leads to the conclusion that the surface of Venus is one vast ocean. If under such conditions | life cxists on the planct it must be | a *world of fishes. Mars is smaller than the earth, water, though a supply both. Scasonal changes can be observed with tele- scopes. The changes noted on Mars indicate the presence of plants; and it these, why not animals? Perhaps is has both air and scant ot men? Further than this astronomy, with all its powerful telescopes, has want to that perfected human beings live on Mars, Pro- fessor Eddington takes care to ob- serve, they must do so on their own | responsibility.

Senator La Follette blankly states that the whole busi- ness is an attempt by somebody to “divert public attention” from the state of the nation, meaning the character of prosperity that afflicts the Republican Administration. There is something to this charge of “diverting public attention.” It Mr. Woll, who is an official of the American Federation of Labor, is a party to the diverting business it may be by accident. The A. F. of L. has been a strenu- ous fighter against the red menace for years. In this it reccives the support of persons of influence not members of the labor unions. It may merely be that Mr. alarmed ‘Woll is unduly and sces a chance to strengthen the position of the Federation in the face of the threat- cned propaganda from Moscow. It is casy to agrec with Scnator Walsh of Massachusetts that hostil- ity to the Administration accrues trom “denying the facts as they are.” That at least wa# parlly shown in the vote in the sccond Masschusetts district recently, in which it is ad- mitted that unemployment had a hand to defeat the Administration candidate. Senator Wagner of New York has the right idea in advocating the stematic collection of unemploy- ment statistics, instead of estimates —usually from manufacturing sources—as at present followed.
