HOW MEN ARE MEASURED A Progressive Is Constantly Im proving His Opinions. Editorial in Life. Whv should a man snend thp timxnf of the House telling them, as Rodenburgl aid, wnat Dr. Wilson said in a book printed ten aeor - Of course. Mr. Rod. enburg put Dr. Wilson's sentiments in the worst light possible, but what odds anyhow? Dr. Wilson is a broprcssive: wp arc all progressives; none of us whosemen talwheels have continued to revolve think politically just what we did tea years ago. , We have all been to school all these last years. If we haven't come along any since 1902, we ought to nave sucn spooniea instruction as they give the feeble-minded. Thpn- are probably many lines in Dr. Wil son's history which will not be service able to him as a Democratic candi date, but the important thing is not what he thought then, but what he thinks now. and the more he has been able to improve on' his opinions of 190Z the more of a progressive he is. ' We meet nennle whn want n Lnmu what a progressive is, anyhow. . Per haps it is fairly defined as a man who has improved on his past opinions. Contrarywise7 the standpatter is a man whose bDinions are no better than they were. Progressives, then, differ according to the .past views that they have pro gressed from. The sifting of the pro gressives is the most interesting poli itical proceeding now going on. It is automatic. Every progressive is try ing to find out what he is and what candidate he belongs for. It is to laugh at the struggles of these excel. lent people to place themselves. , They can go with Roosevelt or go with Wilson !a .l. r . ,r . ur nay wim wic nepuDiican parry . in spite of Taft. Yes, "in spite of Taft," but Taft is really a progressive, too, only 'he can't keep upWhat is at tractive about Roosevelt is not so much that x superior Drotrressivcnesi of his political disclosures as his speed. A good many good men went with him because they thought' that, he would get somewhere. Some of them still think so, but most of his present adherents must be sticking to him either because they are ashamed to quit, or because they want to beat Taft and are ,not willing to vqtc for a Democrat. s II.

Burkhead, of the Norfolk-Southern, a wireless ex pert, was in the city yesterday to test .oiit the wireless tquipment on the tin- val reservs steamer Elf ida."

Messages were ought and read from Norfolk. The electrical insulation was not found to be as good as it might be, there being a larre inductive loss through the stiys of the fhio. This makes the sending efficiency of the wireless set not the best, but this mat- ter of defective insulation can be very easily remedied. "The rectivine side of the aDDaratus i is as goid us on any ship of this size in the naval service," says Mr. Burk- head, and be should know, as he was for years a wireless man in the navy. and has installed many stations afloat and ashoia.
