( WHAT IS 1 ' RELATIVITY? Have you road the mam articles on "relativity " mid have Jj ovt J ?iven any thought to the Dew theory of space and time and gravi tation After yon have gone through half a dozen pages on Hie sub ject, you will ask for more enlightenment ami perhaps decide that the reasoning is a little bil too abstruse. The theory is as strangely new as whs gravitation in Newton's ' day, or the shape ol the earth when Columbus came bach from his voyage The man who gave to us "relativity" is Einstein of Germany ' Jusl at the opening of the world war the tbeorj was being widelj discussed. Since the armistice more information has been obtained irom tho European philosophers, until now all ihe largp colleges of I . America are deep in the stud of this subject Dr. Eddington has published a hook :n which he says: Einstein shows us thai the external world ns we have always seen it is an elaborate interweaving r that world H as it actually is ami as 11 has been com rived t.. he through our imperfeel observations and the imperfect conclusions H 1o which they have led us. The ancients, in default of any knowledge of how gravity acts in other locations than at H the earth's surface, or o the insignificant position which the earth really holds in the cosmic mechanism, or ol the true shape of the globe on which we live must have supposed "up" and "down" to he directions inherent in nature, uni- versaliy the same. Eventually', with the realisation that down was merely the direction toward the center of the body on which the observer happened to be located, the concepts "up" ami "down" lost an universal significance H which they might have heen supposed to have . the pnrt H which they play in ihe external world about us was shown H to inhere in the observer i 'her than m that world it- self. It was doubtless with some difficulty that the public H nt large, in ancient and medieval times, grew into ultimate understanding of this It is with still n on difficulty that H we shall come to the parallel but more elusive understand- H ing that the distinction alway hei -t made between time aud space, and the notion that time runs on forever in a straight line divorced from all dependence upon space are H likewise the contribution of the observer to the world of H perception; 1 hat the facts inherent in the external world fl and independent of the observer are quite different H The Aery circumstance that all this is so means that H when Einstein effects his further separation between the bb- H server's conception ami the external fact, what he finds still inherent in the outside world is something new and strange H of which we have no mental picture immediately readv, for which we have no words and veu no accurate analogies. H One thought uppermost in the mind of the student crropmg for H knowledge in the abstract philosophy of Einstein 1 thai this is the agc of the specialist ami the expert. By concentrating his though1 i along one line, the German philosopher has gone beyond the ability 1 of other men to follow even when he points the wa, I THE CANDIDATE FROM UTAH While the candidate for president on the Democratic side is at-1 tempting to show that the Republicans have a jrreat '.lush fund and is meeting with the retort that ihe Democrats have an equally largi frid. Parley 1'. Christensen our own Parle; P -is breaking into1 the columns of the press t inform the country that the kettle is calling the pot black, and that the only pure and lindefiled partv with a spotless candidate is the Farmer-Labor organization Parley P. warns the voters that if either the Republicans or Democrats win in this election, the eountrj is going to n . dogs If the candidate from Utah be accepted as other than a diver sion, the nation soon will bejjin to out on sack cloth and ashes, for Parley is a doleful fellow He sees through glasses darklj colore I and that which looms insufficiently dark he imagines 11c s;is tin two old parties are the instruments of Wall Street and regardless of which one is victorious, the heel oJ oppression will be upon the people. If deliverance from this terrible fate depends on the success of a party orpanized less than six months, and loosely held together, then the outlook is alarming and popular government is a failure Hut Parley P. is not to be accepted as a prophet or even a shrewd seer lie simply voices the unrest of the day and is beat ing a tom-tom to attract attention. I A DEBASING CAMPAIGN Running for office in Utah may subject a candidate to h com plete review of his family history, but it does not throw him into a dirty, slimy pool as in Illinois, where politicians of the Mavor Thompson kind stir up the odors and spread filth. In an attack on Governor Lowden of Illinois. Mayor Thompson, at a meetinp on Wednesday, called the chief executive a crook" and a "liar." Declaring that he had helped to elect Lowden four years ago. Chicago's mayor said "But we won a hollow victory, for we elected a crook for gov ernor and his word is no good. Lowden sold us out and that means he is a liar." Mayor Thompson is one of the most undignified characters in the political life of this country. His war record is offensive to an overwhelming majority of the people and his public utterances prove I him to be uncouth and boorish The voters should rebuke any public servant who stoops to jtnethods f Mayor Thompson I POLAND TO COMPLY. Agreement seenis to have been reached between the United States and Poland as to the respecting of Russian territorial rights I Great Britain had taken the position that the Polish armiis m their offensive, should not go beyond the present frontier France held that the Poles would not he unduly aggressive if! they advanced until a strategic point had been arrived at even be- j ond the frontier lines. The United States in part agrees with France, but ha sought to have Poland give assurance that Russian territory would not he per-1 manently held, and ethnological lines would be respected. In other words, the Poles were called upon to declare they had no imperialis tic plans in their conflict with Russia. The American attitude is one of respect for the inherent rights of both sides to the struggle and is in harmony with the policy of self-determination enunciated at the Versailles conference. I WEBER COUNTY LOSES OUT. A Salt Lake paper recognizes the fact that Weber county was not as well recognized as it might have been by cither the Demo cratic or Republican state conventions, as the county was given only a candidate for presidential elector on the Republican ticket and a candidate for attorney general on the Democratic side. So far as any real benefit is to be derived b Weber counts, the conventions might just as well entirely have ignored this dii sisn of the state. OUTBURSTS OF EVERET TRUE HUSH UP V.

"Such a supply is vital during the lull In production durluK the winter months" explained Walter liberie, president of the Cincinnati Produce Fxchange ' Prices have awalyi been governed by tho law of supply and demand, and. although the stocks of eggs in the local storage plants are normal, there Is a largo shortage throughout the United States and we will have to help make up that deficit and, un doubtedly, at higher prices than last winter. ' The c hief reason for the shortage Is the result of the contraction of credit on orders of the Federal Re serve Board. "The United States consumers need a vast amount of eggs during the non-producing period, and, In tho event that wo experience a severe cold winter, prices Will, possibly, reach unpdecodented figures in view of tho shortage of stocks In cold storage. "Butter prices, too, are entirely gov erned by tin- law of supply .-nd de mand and tho government report 1 states that the holdings are 19.1 perl cent below the figures of last ear. ' 00 .
