ENRY CABOT LODGE is one of the Bay State's confirmed political habits. Massa- chusetts could no more break herself of him than she could break herself of Schedule IX and free hides. Nevertheless, the size of the Lodge majority in vesterday's primaries cannot obscure the fact that Republicans in Massachusetts punished Lodge for his League of Nations stand by running Gov. Cox ahead of him in many places. Moreover, in Massachusetts, as in Maine, the total Republican vote indicates no stiffening of Republican spirit and purpose. Senator Townsend's lead for the Republican Senatoria! nomination in Michigan, where his de- fense of Newberryism was one of the chief issues, is largely accounted for by the division of the opposition among three candidates. The real test on Newberryism will only come with the election. When this week’s primary returns are fully tabulated, along with the results of the election in On the contrary. Maine, Republican leaders are going to profess outward satisfaction Inwardly, and among themselves, they will anx- -iously how between now and next November they can hope to overcome manifest symptoms of Republican half-heartedness.

HINDENBURG'S STATE OF MIND. HE populace could drive nails into the wooden statue of Hindenburg as it stood in a Berlin street. Not even iron-fisted circumstance, it appears, can drive out of the old Marshal's heart the ecstacies flowing from an imperialistic predilection. It is almost impossible to read with liberal appreciation, in view of to-day’s case with Ger- many, the recent letter to the ex-Kaiser, made known by the paper “Der Tag,” in Which Hin- denburg takes upon himself the responsibility for the much-censured flight of Wilhelm to his retreat in Holland. “Most Exalted, All Mightiest Kaiser, Most Gracious Kaiser, King and Lord!” What mouth- filling terms in which to hail the fugitive of Doorn! And what but mockery must the ordi- nary man read, as he pursues the body of the note, into references to a continued “all highest self” and to the writer himself as “with the deepest awe and greatest thankfulness * * * always your imperial and royal alleruntertaenigster.” Such addresses of adoration were meet in old feudal Doubtless they served profitably in the times when Germany had a Kaiser and articles generally of imperialistic faith. ‘To-day they read like glorifications borrowed either from burlesque or from a highly colored romance of the period of knighthood. Marshal Hindenburg lived once fervently for the empire. His florid note is eloquent of the truth that now he lives in a state of mind Majesty's days.

Eve to the British Association at Hull, England, on the theory of sunshine aS the origin of all life is announced in the cable despatches as a new theory So it may be in form of expression, with new words coined to fit—“katergy” for the change of energy in a downhill direction; for an uphill flow of energy, “as when the green pigment of plants compels sunlight to build up carbonic acid from the air with starch and prodin.” But in unscientific form the theory is as old as the race The sun-god is the familiar image in mythology. Mithras or Apollo was in essence one with the tribal gods of savages. The sun figure is the most ancient in decoration; to it are ascribed the rose window in Gothic architecture and many other beautiful details of expanding art. The wheel of fortune and :the Buddhists peayer-wheel are derived from sun'origins. The “anergy” most THE hands of a watch, the turn of a screw, go with the sun in his course. To turn in the opposite direction is unlucky. Horus of Egypt and the Manitou of American Indian tribes are close kin. The physical fact of the apparent power of the sun to generate life, the fear caused among all ignorant peoples by a solar eclipse, are familiar, Are we past sun worship in modern civiliza- tion? Not so far, perhaps. Let ice slowly draw down over half Europe and the Northern United States again—and a drop of 7 degrees in aver- age temperature would bring it—and we might have sun rites again in our dwindling tribes, doggedly retreating before the growing chill. The savage of the most primitive races, to whom the daily miracle of sunrise was the big fact of his existence, scout the idea that Dr. Eve's discovery is new in more than wealth of detail.

NLY sixteen days ago Mayor Hylan was , Shouting defiance at any and everybody who dared talk of graft in the Department of Markets. When District Attorney Ruston of Kings County appealed to him to impound the depart- ment records the Mayor refused, charged the District Attorney with “meandering in the Mar- kets Department” for political purposes and de- clared that anything wrong there would be at- tended to “in good time.” The “good time” has been notably accelerated— thanks to Justice Cropsey’s decision that the Hylan Administration has been “wilfully disre- garding” the City Charter in using an amended ordinance to cover the practice of permitting Supervisors in the Markets Department to keep fees collected from pushcart peddlers. Acting Mayor Murray Hulbert got his orders from Mayor Hylan yesterday to call a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen to-morrow to consider establishing the grades and positions of market supervisors. The “obstacle” in the way of such action, Mr. Hulbert announces, “‘has now disappeared.” What has really happened, of course, is this: The Hylan Administration has found the mar- kets scandal getting too hot to hold. Justice Cropsey’s injunction—carrying its pointed com- parison with the days of Tweed--was a facer. The Mayor has decided his best plan is to get any credit he can for doing what he is forced to do and then to scuttle away from the whole mess as fast as may be. Thus, we are encouraged to note, there are some things the Mayor can get into his head. Maybe he will even see presently that the Blue Law Persecution By Dr. S. E.
