SPIRIT OF THE TIMES
1YP|F|ED BY WILSON
Iowa Pleased at Solution Of
Present Problem.
fpes Moines (Ia.) News.l

lDes Moines 1a.) News1
Woodrow Wilson typif1es the new
spirit of the times in things political.
he is the embodiment of the new
thought in the nation.
This clear headed and profound
scholar brought to the Iowa people a
message Of hope and good cheer. He
came carrying the standard Of a pro
gressive army Of thoughtful Ameri
cans, fully determined that whatever
else may happen 1t shall be brought
about that this shall again be a gov
eminent by and for the people.
In his Coliseum address the governor
properly assumed that there are ten
denotes in American life that are
wrong, that evils have grown up. that
we have got away from the moorings
of free government. No need to dis.
cuss these things. But what Is the
remedy?
He analysed the problem with the
dispassionate logic Of the great univer-
sity teacher before his class. He was
especially happy in his characterize
ton Of the problem as one relating to
privileged business" rather than big
business" for it is not size so much as
1t is the enjoyment Of special privilege
that makes some business destructive
Of all that is good in commercial and
political life. He was right. too, in
leading back to the original source and
refuge Of all special privilege-the pro-
tective tariff.
Without attempting to go into details
he pointed out that the remedy that we
all are seeking must be secured, If at
all. through agencies that are free to
act. No axiom Of the school books
could be palmer.
Woodrow Wilson brought to Iowa
people message they hear with eager.
ness because they want just such a
message. He spoke from the stand.
point Of the lifelong and earnest stu
dent Of world politics. as one who has
approached the subject with ripened
intellect and well trained mind and
following the eternal principles Of
truth. has reached a conclusion that
cannot be assailed. Without any ora
torical 1ourislles he held his audience
entranced. He said nothing but that
which he knew to be true. He made
no use Of merely fine sounding phrases
1t was cold logic. yet told in simple
and direct language.
Here. then. is the new man in poll
tics. man come rs prophS: among
us to preach the new gospel We have
come upon new time. when things
are different, when the problems are
not Whist they once were. when the
people are eager for some discussion
Of present day politics in the light Of
present day conditions That is why
Woodrow Wilson's message t. Iowa
people was so refreshing. so inspiring.
so helpful.
Whatever else they may do. the Iowa
people. without regard to the particu-
lar party tag they are Just now wesr-
ing, with small consideration for TIE
grandfathers' prejudices, owe to Wood
row Wilson & vote OF thanks for the

NAVY WIRELESS PLAN
FOR LOCATING SHIPS
System Practically Covers Portions OF
Naval Vessels on High

Washington. Fe, iIry 6.-The United
states navy has about completed a sys-
tenn of wireless telegraphy which will
practically cover tho positions OF It's
ships on tho high seas everywhere and
with the principal foreign countries
Of the civilized world. The application
OF wireless biography to tho deter
mination OF tho longitude u q ship at
see, In the opinion of sclentists, is de-
stined to be passed as one OF the few
great and useful discoveries OF the
age.
The time signals OF the Paris OBJ
servatory are distributed by wireless
telegraphy.. The STANDARD clocks are
kept in the "Catacombs'' ninety feet
underground. where there is prac.
ticaliy constant temperature of lis
centigrade, the variations In several
years being under .O2. The stdereal and
polar clocks can be compared at dis
tancc, their beats being audible by
microphones.
Wireless telegraphy was first used
for distributing time signals May 90.
1910 II is probably only question of
time before those or similar signals
will be available to ships in any part
OF the world, which would completely
solve the problem of longitude at sea
with an accuracy formerly undreamed
of.
This and the gyro-compass are two
revolutionary improvements in naviga-
ton during the last hfteen months.
Tn. mean solar clock is put right at
Greenwich by an electro-magnet that
can either aid or oppose the action
of gravity on the pendulum. warning
signals being sent by hand In a pre-
arranged manner TO give notice OF the
actual signals. which are sent auto
matically by the clock and go through
a relay OF the Eifel Tower. whence
they proceed by wireless telegraphy.

stated that a clocknas ter at Canter-
bury regulates his clocks by Paris

to accord with Greenwich time. Ger
