on this continent and one of the
most carefully administered. It
should be noted that its service is
rendered at cost. Service at cost is
one of the outstanding principles of
municipal ownership. A municipal
enterprise that reports a large profit
is by that token subject to the sus
picion that the profit is fictitious.
If the people of Tacoma stand for
lig-hting- rates that pile up a monthly
surplus to be spent for current city
expenses or fill the coffers of some
depositary they are less self-assertive
than we have ever had reason to be
lieve them to be and they are by
that weakness making a mess of a
beautiful theory.
FOIT THE TREATY. AGAINST AN AL
LIANCE. After the irreconcllables have
strained their Inventive powers in
the vain effort to prove that the Pa
cific treaty is a military alliance
wtth teeth which would drag us into
war against our will, they always
come face to face with the stubborn
fact that a vote against the Pacific
treaty is a vote FOR continuance of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. That
alliance has real teeth, not the prod
uct of irreconcilable imaginations.
See the teeth in the following pro
vision: If by reason of unprovoked attack or
aggressive action, wherever arising, on the
part of any power or powers, either high
contracting party should be Involved In
war in defense of its territorial rights or
special Interests mentioned in the preamble
of this agreement, the other high contract
ing party will at once come to the as
sistance of its ally, and will conduct the
war in common and make peace in mutual
agreement with it.
That article of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance bristles with teeth. It
ships to use its channel and docks,
and should go forward with the
larger plans of further improvement
that are before It, in confidence that
the commerce to be created will
prove a good return on the invest
ment, as our present commerce has
justified the investment already
made.
CREDULITY,
The fortune-telling gentry missed
the opportunity of their lives when
they failed to give Mrs. Madalynne
Obenchain so much as a hint of the
trials that were In store jfor her. We
should not think so much of their
inadequacy to meet an ordinary situ
ation, but here was a case in which,
if fate has a way of making itself
visible beforehand, there ought have
been no want of signs. Mrs. Oben-
chaln's aura must have been burst
ing with visionsfof impending woe.
The defendant in this sensational
murder case retains, it is said, her
faith In prevision, or necromancy, or
soothsaying-or Whatever It is. It was
brought out in the trial that she re
peatedly visited fortune tellers, and
that on one occasion she was ac
companied by the man for whose
murder she has just been on trial.
They told her, it seems, that she was
destined for happiness, that, she
would be wedded to the man she
loved, and that life for her, as for
the heroine of the well-constructed
novel, would be Just one grand,
sweet song. Not a word was said,
not art Inkling given, as to what has
actually come to pass. , Kennedy is
dead; Mrs. Obenchain is not going to
marry the man of her choice, or at
least not the man of her choice af
the Fall policy, which is use and de
velopment of the public domain but
not waste or destruction. ' For more
than ten years the Pinchot policy
held up development of the water
power and mineral wealth of the
west and of Alaska's resources. It
did not preserve timber in the na
tional forests; by impractical regula
tion, it condemned ripe timber to
rot. It deprived the nation of the
use of the resources of the west and
Alaska in war, when they were
sorely needed. . Mr. Harding will go
to Alaska to see for himself the ef
fects of Pinchotism and the needs of
that great territory. In the mean
time we hope that he will use his
authority to end the unseemly spec
tacle of a bureau in one department
of the government making slander
ous attacks on the head of another
department.
NO SCUTTLING OF SCHOOLS.
Nor Is there any sense In the theory ex
pressed by some that the direct primary
has been the cause of high taxes. The tax
situation ia Just as severe in boss-ridden
states aa m Oregon. The situation is
nation-wide, in fact it is world-wide. Taxes
are grievous because business and industry
are depressed. As to what caused the
collapse opinions differ but it is a fact
that it followed quickly on the heels of the
rejection of the treaty of Versailles. In a
critical hour the world was left bewildered
and leaderless and economic chos followed.

BILL HAYWOOD'S THREAT.
If "Big Bill" Haywood really
wants to earn, and receive, the
heartfelt thanks of his former coun
trymen, he will carry out his threat
to colonize the American I. w. W. in
Russia to operate the coal mines and
factories for which he says that the
soviet authorities have' gran ted him
a concession. Americans will rather
like the idea of watching from this
distance the experiment In estab
lishing a perfect government that
Haywood promises to make. More
over, since matters in Russia could
hardly be made worse than, they now
are, we shall not have so many
qualms as we might otherwise have
about sparing that unhappy land a
lot of citizens who do not seem to
like the way things are run over
here.
The safest proposition in the world
to put a wager on, however, is that
Haywood's scheme will not be met
in the spirit of co-operation by hia
former followers on this side o the
Atlantic ocean. We look for no
grand rush from New York to Mos
cow. Even if the government were
willing to furnish one-way transpor
tation which it could well afford to
do we do not suppose that there
would be a corporal's guard to re
spond. ' We would like to see them
try It, but we have no ihope that they
will.

A NEW KIVAI, OF KETELGECSB.
It will require more than the or
dinary Imagination to make concrete
the picture presented by Professor
Henry Norrls, the astronomer, who
describes in the Scientific American
the new stars, Antares, discovery of
which was announced only a few
months ago. If we were staggered
by the dimensions of Betelgeuse
when they were published, we shall
te even more amazed at those of the
new candidate for stellar honors.
Antares has a diameter of 420,000,-
000 miles, or twice that of Betel
geuse, and twice that of the orbit of
the earth. It ls so far away that its
light, travelling 182,000 miles a sec
ond, takes more than 370 years to
reach the earth.
Figures by 'themselves are almost
meaningless when they reach the
enormous quantities required to tell
the story of the new star, but the
astronomer's happy knack of pre
senting comparisons will help us to
an understanding or the phenome
ron. Thus, says Professor Norrls,
the luminosity of Antares is about
8000 times that of the sun, although
its diameter is only about 500 times
the sun's; Its superficial area
about 240,000 times that of the sun
so that the astronomical mathe
maticians are able to calculate that.
in proportion to square miles of sur
face, Antares gives out only about
one-eightieth as much light as the
sun does. In all probability the sur
face of Antares is much less lumin
ous and cooler than the darkest sun
spot.
Our wonder at the immensity o
Antares ought not to blind us to the
achievement that made its discovery
possible. Mere men, whose physical
insignificance by comparison with
Antares is Infinitely beyond the
power of words to express, has de
vised instruments which, not only
have placed the new celestial body
with reasonable accuracy on the map
of the heavens, but have also dis
cerned a companion of Antares situ.
ated three seconds of an arc away,
which possesses a luminosity about
fifty times as great as the sun's, yet
because of the overshadowing inten
sity of the glare of Antares itself
has heretofore been Invisible to ob.
servers using ordinary telescopes. It
has the relatively insignificant di
ameter of .a million miles, travels in
a like orbit with Antares, and be
cause of many features that it pos
sesses which are not yet well under
stood, opens a field of research for
scientists that is likely to keep them
occupied for a long time to come.
We wonder which is the greater
of the two phenomena the enor
mous size and distance of this newly-
found luminary, or the boundless
and eternal human curiosity which
made its discovery possible.
