THIRTY YEARS AGO AND NOW

Just thirty years ago the United
States congress first officially recog-
nized the present system of Standard
Time by adopting 1t for the district
of Columbia. The first to propose that
time should be governed by meridians
one hour apart is said to have been
Charles F. Dowd, principal of a young
woman's school at Saratoga, n. 4.
who sketched numerous schemes prior
to 1882. The plan taken up by the
railroads the following year, however
was drawn by William F. Allen, sec
rotary of the General Time conven.
ton. Previously there had been SO
many different standards of time in
the United States that a travellers
watch had to be reset some fifty
times in trip across the continent ii
he desired to be correct. For years
it had been said the problem was past
solution.
Today clocks all over the United
States are ticking off the seconds al
most in perfect unison. Some thirty
nations have followed the lead taken
by the United States, by computing
standard time by meridians one hour
apart. In this country score of time
balls are dripped precisely at noon in
the principal Atlantic, Pacific, gulf
and lake ports by electric signal from
the United States Naval observatory
at Washington, where three standard
clock are regularly set by star sights
and meridian transit instruments. The
difference in official clocks over 5000
miles apart Is seldom more than two
tenths of a second. Astronomers the
world over are striving to be still
more precise as to time signals and
hope soon to be able to flash instan-
taneous signals around the world by
wireless.

THROWING DIRT IN THE EYES
OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

The charge OF the New York World
and other venal newspapers that
those who favor the exemption of
coastwise vessels from paying tolls in
passing through the Panama canal
are in the pay of the trans-continent-
al railroads, who own coastwise YES
sells, is the merest balderdash and i'm.
pudence, and is done to throw dirt in
the eyes of the common people and
prejudice them against this strictly
patriotic American measure.
Does anyone believe that Vice Pres
ident Marshall, whose official life is
without scar or blemish, is in the pay
OF corporation octopus?
Does anyone believe that old
Champ Clark, who has been in the
spotlight for over a quarter of cen.
fury, and who all the while has been
as true as the needle to the pole in
the expression of his convictions and
in serving the constituents of his dis.
trict, could for foment be bought
with a price?
Does anyone believe that Oscar w
Underwood, the greatest economic
statesman the south has had in con-
gress for a long number of years
and who is courageous to a fault,
would for any consideration, become
a Judas to his people?
And how about the intrepid Claude
Kitchen? Brave, honest and fearless
1t almost surpasses belief that q
respectable newspaper could bear any
such suspicion, much less give utter

these men.
What are we going to say of Taft
and Roosevelt, and Knox, and Mann
and a whole score of others, and the
studied, specific and deliberate utter
ances of the platforms of the several
political parties?
Those newspapers are hard put to

MCINTOSH ITEMS

The splendid spring weather for. the
past ten days has been very much
welcomed by all the growers. The
growing crops are all looking in the
best of condition. Cabbage and lettuce
are moving very freely just at this
time, and some very handsome re-
turns are being received. Some of the
cars have been bought by commission
men before they were shipped. Mr.. j.
Frank Denney, the genial representa-
tive of J. p. Wilson, has been hand
ling this end of the business excep-
tionally well, and has handled the
majority of the shipments from this
point. He has the distinction of get
ting the bill of lading for car OF
lettuce one evening this week in less
than one hour from the time was
spotted.
A party of ten young people went
down to Orange Lake landing Friday
evening and enjoyed a splendid fish
fry. TIE moon was shining brightly
and with the pleasant breezes and the
jovial mood all of the party seemed
to be in it was an occasion of much
pleasure to all present.
Mr.. B. F. Martindale of Jackson
vile was in town Friday evening on
business pertaining to his colonization
proposition at Micanopy Junction. Mr..
Martindale has some very fine land
at the junction, and as soon as he
throws it on the market there will
doubtless be splendid demand for
just this kind of property.
Judging from the statements which
are posted in the window regularly
each week the little bank is doing a
land office business. 1t is noticed
that the deposits have been steadily
on the increase for the last few
weeks, till they are now standing in
advance of the $4,000 mark.
The new pool table just installed
by Mr.. w. c. Sanders is a beauty,
and the boys claim that it is one of
the best they have ever played on.
Mr.. H. Petteys has just repaired enc
OF his tables. which is also doing
splendid work.

1 GRIEVANCE SOME SENATORS
HAVE

The senate is going to pass the Dill
repeating the tolls exemption act, Dut
some of the senators want the presi-
dent to assure them that he has dealt
frankly with them, that in his mess
age asking for the passage OF the Dill
he gave them all the reason he had
to give why tolls exemption should De
repealed. Those who are complaining
that he Is holding back something are
acting as If they felt they had griev-
ance against him, and while this feel
ing will not influence their action In
respect to the repeal bill they would
be better satisfied If the president
were to invite them to conference
at the White House and have frank
talk with them as to what was really
in his mind when he said that he
shouldn't know how to handle our for
eign relations if his appeal for the
repeal of the tolls exemption act were
not granted.
The other day Senator Poindexter in
troduced a resolution calling for such
an explanation from the president,
and speaker Clark in his speech the
other day opposing the repeal bill,
said that he didn't know why the
president wanted the tolls exemption
act repealed and thought he had a
right to know. 1t seems therefore that
even the speaker feels that he hasn't
been treated with entire frankness.
Was that one of the reasons why he
opposed the repeal bill? His state
ment was cheered, however, showing
that he struck a sympathetic chord

Thomas r. Marshall, vice president
of the United States, who was can
didate for president at the Baltimore
convention, and whose record as gov
ernor of Indiana is untarnished,
favors the exemption of coastwise
vessels from paying tolls. Indeed
every candidate before that conven-
ton were as unit on the PROPOSE
ton. Woodrow Wilson advocated the
measure on the stump and told what
great benefits would accrue therefrom
to the farmers of the country. Sur
rendering this right is an entirely
new proposition.

Northern Seed Best.
One feature of the situation that
Is perhaps not generally known, is
that seed potatoes even for southern
use should be northern grown. Some
OF the most successful growers In
Southern California get northern
grown seed as free from pests Of all
kinds as possible and multiply this
seed for general planting the next
year by growing an Intermediary
crop on convenient hill location
near the large delta fields. Mr..
Shima, the millionaire japanese po-
tato grower Of the California Delta
region, has quite successfully prac-
ticed this method Of securing desir-
able seed for several years. The
fungous diseases that later attack
the plants grown in the low, rich
plains affect the first crop but lit
tie the first year. After that, how
ever, it is necessary to secure
