u the observatory Of Columbia uni
vsrsity II one Of the most accurate
clocks In the world. 1t has run fol
several months with mean error Of
enly fifteen. thousa ndths of second
and . maximum error of thlrty-thou-
sandths Of a second per day. That
means that 1t does not vary more than
half q second a month, or SIX seconds
q year.
Compare this with the first pocket
timepiece, the animated egg Of Nu-
remberg." which required winding
twice day and varied an hour and
half In the same time! Compare 1t
with some Of the highest priced
watches manufactured today. which
often vary more than ten seconds a
week. and you win have some idea Of
the rednements in the science Of meas
uring time. Yet even this accuracy IL
surpassed by some famous timepieces,
Il the trade magazines are to be be-
lieved. There have been accounts In
them Of clocks or watches that have
varied less than second in periods as
long as ten years.

surrounded by glass case In which
partial vacuum is maintained. and In
order that the case may not be opened
or disturbed the winding is done auto

set up In room especially constructed
to keep It free from jar or vibration.
The temperature and barometric con-

Struck at the Farmers.

President Taft should have ap-
proved all the bills passed by Con-
gress requiring certain schedules of
the present high tariff. Above all he
should have approved the Farmers
Free List Bill. Reciprocity was a
Taft measure. 1t reused the honest
apprehensions of some farmers along
the northern boundary. In recon-
pense to them the Free-List bill was
promptly INTRODUCED in the House
and passed by the Democrats reduc-
ing taxation upon many articles that
farmers buy. It was complementary
to reciprocity. The two measures
should 60 together.
Mr.. Taft has never spoken as
sharply of the tariff on articles COW
cred by the Free-List bill sIS he has
of the "indefensible" taxes on wool
and woollens. But he knows, as We
all should know, that nineteen farm
ers out of twenty have never been
benefited by the tariff, since they
sell their surplus crops in worldwide
competition; while every farmer is
robbed by tariff-protected trusts in
his capacity as consumer. And to
the farmer no less than to the con-
sumer of woollens was the President
held by his Chicago pledge Of Dec. 8,
1910: eve are bound to promote the
prompt elimination of instances
of injustice in the present Tar

nation Of injustice than about it's
scientific" elimination by & board to
which stand-patters will pay no at
tention whatever.
The New York Worlds says the
President has made his choice. He
has refused the chance offered him
by Congress to lower taxation at
once. He vetoed every tariff bill
brought before him except the Re-
ciprocity bill, and Congress did not
pass such bills over his veto. The
House vote"on the Wood and Free
List bills, which just failed to
reach the two-thirds required, deter
mined that point. This Congress had
little more to do except to complete
the record by passing such other tar
ift bills as were pending and letting
them meet their certain fate. Upon
the record that is now made will
largely depend the result Of the 1912
election-to be decided by 15,OOO,-

A Farce and q fraud.

Those rascals who undertook to
have DR.. Wiley removed from the
head of the Board of Food and Drug
INSPECTION had no idea the hornets
nest they We're going tt stir up. Had
they known they would have let him
alone. They lost sight of the Dem
ocratic House and a possible inves-
tigation, and hence they have gotten
into hot water waist deep.
Had a Republican House been in
power, DR.. Wiley would have been
slaughtered, but the Democrats or
dered an Investigation, and DR.. Will
ey has made an entertaining witness.
His testimony as to how, after the
Board of Food and Drug Inspection
had declared corn syrup" an illegal
label for glucose, its decision was re-
jected, interests the public.
The boards unfavorabia decision
was printed and ready for circulation
when the Corn Produces Company
got very busy. Those three eminent
food experts, Secretary Of the Treas
ury Cortelyou, Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor Straus and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, were
somehow induced to reverse the Blu
reau of Chemistry's findings and tc
authorize the sale Of glucose under
an improper label.

we're on the side of the trusts and
against the people. But they have
been caught up with, and 1t would

Crook of the First Order.

The House investigation of the Ag-
ricultural Department has not only
developed a conspiracy to oust DR..
Wiley, but mas brought to light some
of the worst kind of dupllcity on the
part of some of the higher officials OF
that important department of the
government. 1t has involved Presi-
dent Taft in the conspiA dcy to the
extent that he has too readily accept
ed presentations regarding DR.. Wiley
that are not based on facts. 1t has
shown that among he conspirators
none has been more active In mis-
representing facts than Solicitor Nc
Cabe. To such an extent has Solici-
tor McCabe perverted the truth that
he now appears in the light of chief
conspirator. AS as illustration or
McCabe's Misrepresentation Of facts
may be cited letter which plays an
important part in the Investigation.
In making a report which was to be
sent to the President, McCabe used
the two concluding paragraphs OF
this letter omitting al: preceding.
The two paragraphs were slightly
critical of Dr.. Wiley, while the parts
omitted were wholly colamendatory.
AS another illustration may be cited
McCabe's substitution OF terms and
phrases in report prepared by DR..
Wiley, so that the intent and pur-
pose of the report was entirely
changed-from an unfavorable to a
favorable finding. McCabe seems not
to have hesitated to stoop to any
thing to accomplish the undoing OF
Wiley.
Solicitor McCabe, who seem to be
a crook of the first order, worked
entirely in the interests of those who
wanted the pure food law nulified,
and as this could not be done as
long as an honest man like DR.. Wiley
was there to see it enforced, he de-
termined that he would destroy him.
What further testimony may show
cannot be anticipated, out it would
seem that here was sufficient evil
dence already for firing" McCa'be.
If Secretary Wilson shall fail to do
so, he will lose much Of public con-
fidence that he has so far enjoyed,
and will leave his Office under
cloud.
