should solemnly resolve that we
will not knowingly violate any of the
laws of the land; thut we will hold
sacred the Constitution of our coun

selves that we will not encourage
others to disregard our laws, even
though it be by remaining silent
when our laws are violated. We
should pledge ourselves not alone to
law observance, but also to the aim
and purpose of militant Americanism,
which devotes its best effort to pie
vent lawlessness, to promote rever
ence for laws and to create an abid
ing devotion to the free institutions
of our beloved republic.

Biggest Task Up to
Science In New Year
By Edwin E. Glosson, Scientist and
Author.
The most important scientific event
of the COmmg year, so far as can bo
foretold, will be the confirmation or
contradiction of Einstein's theory of
relativity.
Already the evidence is in hand.
Director W. W. Campbell of the Lick
. observatory has returned to Califor-
I nia with the precious plates that may
settle the question which is right in
regard to gravitation Isaac Newton
' or Albert Einstein. He says they are
good negatives and likely to prove
! something.
Hut what they will prove will not

man and Dutch astronomers choke

ocean, as their observation point tor
the ecljpse of September and it hap
pened to be a cloudy day, so they
had to return without any evidence
on tile theory.
Triple Test.
Einstein, like Portia's suitors, has
to paks a three-fold test. He predict'
ed, besides the deflection of light
rays passing by the sun, that light
rays proceeding from the sun would
have their waves so lengthened that
their spectral lines would be shoved
toward the red end.
Here the evidence is conflicting.
Some astronomers say that there is
BUCb a shift. Others find none of the
sort required. This Question Is be
ing most thoroughly tested by Dr.
C. E. St. John at the Mt. Wilson ob
servatory. The third test, or rather the first
in point of time, is the famous ex
periment made by Michelson and
Morley in 1SS6 to determine the rate
of either drift. This gave the dis
concerting result that there seemed
to be no ether at all.
Einstein interprets this to mean
that, everything shortens as its speed
increases; that at a velocity of 161.
'in miles ;i second a t'ootrule would
shrink to six inches and a watch;
would lose 30 minutes an hour.
Apples Still Fall.
Prof. I). C. Miller of Cleveland is
now repeating the Michelson-Morley
experiment on a more extensive scalo
and with more exact apparatus, but
his result so far are inconclusive.
But we may expect all three of
these (racial experiments to bring
out convincing evidence within tho
year for or against tho Einstein the
ory. If the theory is confirmed it
do$o not mean, as some have hastily
concluded, that gravitation will be
abolished. No. Apples will still fall
from trees. So will boys, if they do
not hold tight.
Hut it means that boys in college
will have to study geometry of four
or more dimensions instead of the
plain and simple Euclid that they
make such a fuss over now. And it
means that v.e elders will have to
try to adjut't our Inelastic minds to
ideas more revolutionary than those
tin t were introduced into the world
by Copernicus and Darwin.
