Early Navigation.

In the early days Of ocean navIga-
ton the navigator never knew his POI
sitlon at sea within many leagues. 1t
was customary for ships on the yoy-
age from Europe TO America TO sail
westerly until landfall was made,
| then coast TO their destination.
Columbus followed this method. for
want Of anything better.
Given sextant and thermometer. the
navigator today reduces the Job OF
finding his position to one Of careful
figuring. Latitude 10 found By obser-
yntion Of the height. or altitude. Of the
sun at noon.
Longitude is quite another thing, II
being the distance between two places
on the earth's surface. expressed in
degrees. II is based on the rotation
Of the earth on its axis every "a hours.
causing meridIans 10 degrees apart-a
meridian being line between the
equator and the poles-to pass under
certain fixed point in the heavens at
one-hour intervals.
For determining longitude all chro-
nometers used on American and Brit
lsh ships are set on the time Of the
meridian of Greenwich. observatory,
near London. French ships figure
from the meridian Of Paris.
Knowing by his chronomster the
time at Greenwich. and by observation
Of the sun at s n. m. or 4 p. m. his own
time, the mariner. by the aid OF tables
has only to find the difference In these
two times, to find his distnnce in de-
grees from Greenwich. THIS found
the distance is easily expressed in
miles, and marks his positionson his
chart.

"Dead Reckoning"

end. slipped over the rail in a given
number of seconds. This was uncer-
tain, and battling winds and foul
weather made 1t entirely unreliable.
Many fatal shipwrecks resulted from
mistakes in estimating a ships position
by dead reckoning. England lost sew
eral Of her best ships of war In the
eighteenth century by their losing
their bearings and crashing upon a
rocky shore. One Of its bravest adj
mirals, Sir Cloudesley Shovel, lost his
life in wreck caused in this way.

his lot, and bear patiently the hard
ships and privations Of wars horrors"
Why would it not be well for the
kaiser to organize sightseeing parties
through the area Of German devasta-
tions Why not take groups Of German
people through Belgium and show them
ruined cities and towns, point out to
them the stains Of blood on walls
against which scores and hundreds of
civilians have been stood and shot to
deaths Why not let them see the mutt
lated children, victims Of the German
soldieryf Or the crazed womcns Take
them to the zone Of the German re-
treat Of 1917 and show them the houses
systematically destroyed, the fruit
trees sawed in twain, the demolished
churches, the defled shrinesi Take
them through the still spared villages
and point out the absence Of able
bodied men and explain that they have
all been sent back to Germany as pris-
oners and forced laborers.
An object lesson Of this kind would
undoubtedly bring squarely to the Ger
man people notion Of "the hardships
and privations Of wars horrors" It
would, perhaps, make them feel more
contented with their lot. But maybe
this is not done because Of a fear that
some Of the German people might not
relish it. OF course, the atrocities
would be camoufaged. The blood
stains would be explained on the score
of "sniping" by civilians. The mutt
lated children would be stamped as
bloodthirsty little wretches who had
sought the lives Of sons of the father
land. Every one of the villainies Of
which the marks still remain would be
explained as inevitable consequence
and necessities Of warfare.
The kaiser's suggestion inspires the
hope that before this war ends it will
be carried into Germany and its mark
laid upon that land, so that the Ger
man people who have supported and
sustained their military leaders in this
carriage and cruelty will be made to
understand keenly what war means.
There are those who hope that peace
will not be declared until this happens,
until Germany has felt an equal meas
ure Of devastation to that which has
been visited upon the lands and peo-
pies Of her victims. Perhaps the
kaiser's wish will thus be gratifed.

Stump Speeches Tr:7 Year.

Champ Clark is not likely to be much
disturbed by complaints made in GER
tain democratic quarters about what
is called his "stump speech" delivered
In Indiana last week. OF course, it was
. stump speech undisguised. Mr.. Clark
Is at all times about al things a can
did man. Camoufage and euphemisms
are not in his line. He knows his flag
AID trains under it, and he calls a
spade spade.
The Speaker wants another demo-
cratic House, and appeals for it. He
believes in the principles of his party,
snd considers that they will be ad-
vaneed by the continued control of
Congress by the democracy. And he
may be pardoned for remembering that
another democratic House will mean
another term for him in the speaker
ship: And it would be strange, in
deed, If he did not remember that the
democracy's chances in 1920 will be
benefited or injured as next falls elec-
tions go for or against his party.
A partisan campaign is on. Men are
seeking nominations for Office, state or
national, as democrats, or republicans,
or socialists; and when the candidates
are named and they get into their
stride they will stump in the old style.
They will ask election as party men,
and pledge themselves to support in
case Of election party policies on party
matters.
There are no votes in camoufage.
The war is not party issue, and can
not be made one. The attempt in the
New York mayoralty campaign and
that in the Wisconsin senatorial cam
psign failed utterly. The voters re-
fused to be misled. In New York they
would not tag even Tammany with dis
loyalty, while in Wisconsin Mr.. Len
root easily disposed Of the effort to so
tag him.
Mr.. Clark has simply fred the first
gun on his side. Presently the whole
line will be popping. Likewise on the
republican side. Gun will answer gun.
Politics viii not be absent from the
campaign for q single day. Why

New York and the Presidency

NV" AVAA oA0 WAC 4AVeAOV0Sys
It was thought until recently that
Gov. Whitman would have no opposi-
tion for denomination. But opposition
has shown itself. How formidable it
is time alone can determine. The gov
ernor's friends express themselves, as
undisturbed. They think that the wrin-
kles now appearing in the republican
situation can be ironed out in good
time to insure harmony in the cam
paign against the democrats when it
opens.
The presidency is figuring in the
talk. Some Of the anti Whitman men
charge that the governor is under what
is called the White House spell; that
he shapes his course too much with
his eyes on Washington; that Albany
and interests radiating from the state
capital enter too seldom and too little
into his caleuiations;, that his leading
purpose is to secure third term, and
make that, If possible, the stepping
stone to his party's presidential nom
ination in 1920.
Strangely enough, the presidency Is
figuring also in the talk on the demo-
cratic side. It is very clear that should
the democratic candidate for governor
be elected this year by q substantial
majority he will be an interesting, and
should be an influential, man in the
next democratic national convention,
providing Mr.. Wilson does not control
that body in his own or somebody else's
interests.
New York is 4 great state, politically,
commercially and financially. She plays
great politics. She has produced some
great politicians. She always aspires to

is very potent in this town. Three
members Of the present cabinet are

And 50 it is that the New York situa,
ton - attracting moro than local at.
tention. Both sides are alert to the
larger possibilities Of ne1 November'l
verdict. A presidential nominee on ONE
side or the other may be produced. Al
any rate, the man elected governor thil
year should be able to control the
states delegation to his party's next
national convention, and use it in hi,
own or some friends behalf.
The failure Of New York to win with
her candidate in 1915 has in nowis.
modified her ambition to lead, or slack
ened her energies for organization and
hard work.

Praise for the Merchants.

A remarkable tribute is paid by the
House committee on District of Colum-
bia to the spirit manifested by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
of Washington toward the Keating
minimum wage bill, just reported to
the House. This organization, through
its secretary, appeared before the
House committee, as well as the Sem
ate committee on similar bill, and ex-
pressed its entire approval of the prop
osition, and on this score the commit
tee pays q tribute to the "enlightened
and progressive position taken by the
employers Of the District who are di-
rectly affected by the measure"
Washington's business men have uni
formly taken this attitude Of fairness
toward their employees, and the ap-
proval Of the minimum wage bill by
the Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation is but a current expression of
this spirit. In the particular case in
point the approval voiced by the asso-
citation was founded upon good bust
ness judgment. It is far better to put
the matter Of commercial wages upon
the basis Of universal scale than to
leave it to competition in conditions
making for general disturbance.
This particular organization Of
Washington's business men has been
most useful in many ways in promot-
ing the interests Of commercial Wash
ington. It is recognized now at the
Capitol as an authorized exponent Of
the mercantile enterprises Of Washing
ton, and through it the Districts legis-
lators can secure q definite and depend
able expression of opinion. The ap-
prov al Of the Keating bill, which has
called for this unusual praise from the
House District committee, should leave
no question regarding the passage Of
the measure.
