Today I rotzky's (roodby? He Sold His Potatoes. The Sun's Radium. The Guns Stay Down. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. v _ j If reports are accurate Trotzky ha* fallen from power. He is said to acquiesce meekly in the decision of his political enemies, stripping h'm of his dignities as hestd of the Russian army. If that’s true there is something the matter with Trotzky’* mental lighting apparatus. He had his chance when he had the red army under his orders, and Lenin, dying, left the whole of Russia to any man able to seize the power. Trotzky seems to lack the power of a Danton, Robespierre or Marat. Those men knew how to fight for whnt they thought was theirs, and how to die cheerfully. -- Robert Reidt, who lives on Long Island, is a Seventh Day Adventist; he sold his winter potatoes, his houshold furniture, and all his property. He believes that the worl dis to end on February <5. Mrs. Rowen, prophet, fixed that date. About February 7 Mr. Reidt will wish that he had his winter potatoes back. What this eccentric gentleman does, as an individual, was former ly done on a big scale. At the be ^ ginning of the year 1000 many got rid of their property, put on white robes, and walked to the top of some hill, ready to be taken to heaven. You can imagine how they felt when they marched down again, and found others occupying their houses. Many experiments and observa tions will be made on Saturday, when the sun's light is shut out for a little while. One group of Scientists will look for coronium, a new element, existing in the sun’s corona. The other rim of the corona will he visible, and give the physicists a good chance. The corona is visible only during an eclipse. Other scientists will study the earth's magnetic currents, as af fected by the eclipse. Every ship’s captain will notice that the eclipse has an effect on the compass. Science doesn’t know why. Possibly some scientists will get from this eclipse the most impor tant information of all, which has to do with the amount of radium in the sun. The sun's length of life and the lives of this and other planets de pend on the sun's radio-active force. If the sun were merely burning up. as was once supposed, the life of human beings here might be cut down to a few mil lion years, whereas it will probably go on for several hundred million years, aided by radium energy in the sun. It seems finally derided that the guns on our battleships must not he elevated. To elevate them would increase their range, making them more valuable in war. But Europe doesn’t want us to he too strong. Experts say our guns, in range, are inferior to British guns, and we have the legal right to change that. But we yield to European pressure. That’s part of past history. Now the head of the navy might give the country information on a statement recently published by English papers, the British have arranged their ships so that they ca 1 take in water ballast on orre .-idp or the other, and thus, by m. king the ship tip over, raise the guns to the desired elevation and increase their range without actual ly changing the mechanical adjust m *nt of the guns. That seems to be highly Pigen ioii . but, of course, we can t do it in this country because probably somebody in Europe would objeot. •ludgp Runyon of thp federal rourt says he would like to have some of the i^al bootleggers pun ished, instead of the little men that are constantly being brought into court. Too much time, he thinks, is wasted on minor offend er-. Hp is right, but punishing big men is not the usual United States plan. In this country, if You get caught, it seems more dangerous to steal an overcoat than it does r to steal a government oil reserve. A great surety company adver tises $100,000 reward for the re turn of a million dollars worth of bouds stolen. It says it will pay 10 per cent of the face value of any bonds stolen, whenever it is obliged to make good insurance on such bonds. That's interesting news fo bond bandits and holdup men. It sta bilizes their industry. It guaran tees them $100,000 of good safe rath on a million-dollar bond rob bery. But what about the laws against compounding a felony? In connection with that Paris agreement, giving us a little of the reparation money to pay for dur foolishness in keeping soldiers in Germany after the war, the United States is sewed up and tied up and mixed up more or less in the whole European complications. You are assured by statesmen that negotiated the business, iri vio lation of the people’s will, ex-! pressed twice at the polls, that we | are not legally bound, only morally | bound. “There are certain moral oblig.i | ttons, perhaps.’’ That’s what they I tell you. And moral obligations j will make an excellent peg on which to hang Europe's refusal to pay the billions she owes us, later. Make a memorandum of that.
