This Is My 64th Birthday

Reactionary Democracy Are the independent voters of this district to be disfranchised? Is Flnley Gray to be punished by the Democratic party for doing what he pledged himself to do? Is the Democratic party as reactionary as the Republican party? We hope the answer to this will not be yes. But so it seems.

In the parlors of the Denison and in the corridors of the state house in Indianapolis this question was undecided last night. The thing may not be done but it Is so real a proposition that only tho hardest kind of fighting can defeat it. This is the gerrymander. And its object seems to be two-fold. To deprive Gray of the district in which he was elected on a progressive platform by reason of his progressive stand. To make tbe Sixth district into a reactionary district.

What else can be the purpose of a district so constituted that the district sprawls across the state for 68 miles in one direction and is only a township wide in another? Why should the Democratic party want to do this? Gray was perfectly satisfied to put his case up to the same -people that elected him after they had a chance to see whether that record was going to be cairied out.

As if the evidence of the present legislature was not enough the Democratic party seems to have concluded that it was necessary to make the final act and enter national politics on a reactionary basis of repudiation. The Democratic party is going to be judged by its acts. We are not interested in this as a patrisan thing the people at the last election in this district signified that the majority of the people in this district have found that patisanship is filled with empty busks when It evades performance. It is the man and the record that we have to go by nothing else. If the Democratic party in this state was not willing for Finley Gray to run on the platform on which he was elected the party did not disown him in campaign time. The party does not care to go on record as standing for tbe repudiation of campaign promises does it?

So far the Democratic party has been mentioned. It Is the reactionaries of both parties the reactionary party that we are talking about really. It is the old-line, bourbon, vote-for-yellow-dog type of man, together with those controlled by business interests that we are talking about. It Is not too much to suggest that perhaps It may be a tacit agreement between the reactionaries of both parties. Wayne county is full of independent voters who have fought for years to make this district honest in its national politics and now we seem to have a promise of real accomplishment and an honest record. All that any progressive can say is that the attempt to befool the people Is breaking down perhaps the redisricting will fail perhaps the people of all Indiana are waiting for a chance to vote directly for honesty and decency but if they are not now, they will eventually.

If this goes through the Democratic party as a party has stooped to a low level of partisanship and reactionarism.

AGE OF EARTH IS 400,000,000 YEARS Chicago, Feb. 23. Four hundred million years was given as the age of the earth in a lecture by Professor Thomas C. Chamberlain, head of the department of geology at the University of Chicago. His statement, which placed the date of formation of the planet at a time 300.000,000 previous to that computed by physicists, is based on a new computation involving a study of radio-activity. "The rate of the dissociation of uranium rock containing radium," said the professor, "shows conclusively that the earth is at least 400,000,000 years old. This estimate is scientifically more accurate than that of the physicists."

HALF MOON NOT A BLOOD IDENTIFIER

GIVE IT FREELY. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due when it is in the power of thy hand to do it Say not unto thy neighbor. Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee. Proverbs of Solomon.

Baltimore, ML, Feb. 23. In an endeavor to determine scientifically the race of a child, staff physicians at Johns Hopkins hospital made an examination of Laiella Leftridge, an eleven-year-old girl, who is trying to obtain her freedom from a negro institution, where she has remained for nearly seven years. The examination was made to determine for the satisfaction of the court in which a writ of habeas corpus has been sworn out whether the girl is white or a negro. Physical characteristics, which is is claimed, indicate the presence of negro blood, played a big part in the examination, but it is stated that the accepted tests, save one had failed. That one is the presence of a black line across one of the girl's finger nails just around the arc known as the "half moon." The presence of the black line, according to the doctors, is not conclusive, but only raises a suspicion as to the ancestry of the child, who will be examined by other physicians.
