HQNOi) SHOULD BE AMERICA'S
Washington Man Really Was the Frsi
to Demonstrate Possibilities of
Wireless Telegraphy.
^ A flonfist Hvirff In Washington, D.
G* Invented, patented and demon
atrated wireless telegraphy before
31 arconi was born. Had it not been
for the attitude of big newspapers and
the stubbornness and lack of vision of
congress, this country today would be
enjoying the honor, distinction and
credit of presenting wireless telegraphy
to tti3 world. The name of this
coiiinarativel.v unknown inventive gen
ius is Mahlon Loomis. Back in the
siicties and seventies he eked out a
modest living by plugging molars and
making "store" teeth for the politicians
and social leaders of Washington.
Doctor Loomis called bis discovery
"aerial telegraphy." His first public
demonstration was made in 1866
from the two peaks of the Blue Ridge
mountaias in Virginia, some IS miles
apart From each peak an ordinary
was pWiitpri. ronnecied with an
insulated copper wire attached at the
lower end to a telegraphing apparatus.
The operators of each party
Were provided with telescopes, with
which they could sight from one station
to the other and read the signals.
^Vhen all was in readiness a message
was sent by the doctor along riie wirs
of his kite, sod-was received at tbe
Station on the other mountain top just
ts though the two kites had been connected
with a wire in the ordinary
way. In this manner communications
Wfre kept tip until the fact was thoroughly
demonstrated that telegraphing
could be done as readily without as
With connecting wires.

f, Cadets' Great Ricfe.
t Two hundred and fifty senior cndets
of Victoria, B. C., have recently competed
a l,40d-miie ride on bicycles,
feearing dispatches from the state commandant
to the minister for defense.
^he small riders averagea more man
14 miles an hour, and they completed
tfieir task 6 hours and 23 minutes
x fibead of schedule. This fine performance
roused public interest in the new
system of cadet training, which has
taken the place of tbe monotonous
drill-yard evolutions." Australia is
training its youngest soldiers to
camaraderie, self-sacrifice, alertness
?nd a love of athletics. The story of
tbe 1,400-mile ride against unex
j#?cted obstacles has set a standard
which will not be easily forgotten by
tbe Australian boy. While tbe dispatch
rfde has done much to direct
dUtenUon to a happier system of training,
it has also served to awaken the
ftiterest of fathers and elder brothers.

D. D. Wallace in S. C. Advocate
Before another issue of The Advomto

dents. He will stand securely among
; the small company of those who coni
stitute the world's really great men.
! Like many another great statesman^
he retires under the burden of tem'
porary unpopularity of political re,
action. In this he is such company
as Qrover Cleveland, William- E.
Gladstone, Sir Robert Feel, and tne
elder Pitt.
/
Dr. Charles W. Elliott, who, except
for his support of Cleveland and Wilson
is ranked as a republican, and it
is needless to add the highest type of
. republican, declared during the reI
cent campaign that the democratic
> party under Wilson's leadership had
i accomplished more for the industrial,
' financial, political, and moral advancement
of the American people
in seven years than. the ^republican
> nartv had in the 'previous thirty
f X V -r
> yeaiS. The truth of the statement
I helps to explain why the party was
; driven so overwhelmingly from power.
The ordinary, average citizen can
( stand only a certain amount of moral
. uplift and moral stimulus in a given
period. President Wilson understood
from the first that much of his great
work would have to be done quickly
i if it were done at all. He did it. with
- marvelous quickness. He pays the
* temporary penalty; he will receive
' the permanent glory.

Accomplishments Under Wilson's
) Leadership
The bare list of'the achievements
1 of the democratic party under President
Wilson's leadership during his
3 first administration is a catalogue
Y whose length is relieved of wcarit
someness only by the stirring nature
of its items. First, there came the
only substantial reform in an iniquitous
and out-of-date tariff that the
2 country had seen since 1857, and the
? country will never see any evry de

system. Not resting with one great
reform that would for the time have <
satisfied the average president, he j
launched immediately the program '1
for the financial reform that materi
I
alized in the Federal Reserve System,'
the most wonderful achievement in,
backing legislation that the world hasj
ever seen. In the few years of its j
existence it has made possible the;
financing of the Great war with a fa- j
cility that would have otherwise been (
impossible and has enabled the country
to make the transition from the
perilous conditions of war with a
painful depression instead of a calamitous
panic. There followed the
Clayton anti-trust act and the Fed-i
eral Trade commission designed to
enable big business to render its indispensable
service to the modern
world without becoming a piratical
outlaw. The income tax was intro-|
duced, so as to adjust the burden of.
taxes as they had never been adjusted
before to the capacity to pay.
The air was cleared of spoils politics
by the simple announcement that the
inaii WIIU huu^au jjuaiuuii uii LIIC IIICIC
recommendation of politicians would
be considered to have confessed his
unfitness on his merits; and the merit
system of appointment was extended
to tens of thousands of postmasterships.
Rural credits were established
by the Federal Farm Loan banks.
There is no exaggeration in giving
r\ 1 a TTT'l 1 __ 1_ _ i-V . I
I rresiaent wiison a iarge-parx 01 xne
credit for these measures; for many
if not most of them would have been
impossible without his leadership. He
belongs frankly to the school of publicists
who believe in the necessity of
vigorous executive leadership. Not
only the history of England, France,
Germany and Italy demonstrates the
correctness of this view, but a glance
over our own past tells the same
story. It is the administrations of,
the great and insistent personalities |
that stand out in our history: Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln,
Cleveland, Roosevelt, Wilson. The
forces that swirl and storm around
the government of a great modern
nation are so mighty, so divergent,
so multitudinous, that the necessity
of vigorous responsible executive
leadership is greater than ever be- j
fore.
President Wilson immediately elevated
the presidency to a'riew position
of influence when he revived the ?
custom of Washington in .delivering
his great messages in person. It is
safe to say that the world has never
hung with such attention on the \
words of any other ruler as upon the |
utterances of President Wilson when :
addressing in person the two houses !
of congress: He has added dignity!'
and influence to the great office he !
has held.
As a War President
The early months of his administration
seemed to indicate that Presi-1
dent Wilson, like Mr. Gladstone, was;
destined to be a great executive only;
\ J
in domestic reforms.- By a complex]
fate he was led to the highest fame ^
as an international statesman. Abso-j

good faith can not be permitted to'
suffer even the suspicion of dishonor.'
Wilson's part in securing the adop-'.
tion of necessary war legislation was
far greater than has ever before been
the case with a president. While it
is true that the common patriotism of
the country rallied magnificently to
the national cause, it is nonetheless
true that the guiding hand of competent
leadership alone could turn this
enthusiasm and these forces to the
most effective co-ordinated results.
Among the most difficult problems j
that had to be faced were those concerned
with settling disputes involving
labor. Certainly no other man
could have met these difficult problems
with such success. When a calamitous
strike seemed inevitable, an
address to the men in the president's
wonderful style or a conference with
the leaders or a firm refusal to permit
any man to rock the boat would
keep the wheels moving that could
not stop if we were to win the war.
The public's memory is so short that
probably most have already forgotten
how in those trying days it was the
regular thing to say of any difficulty
that appeared insolvable, "Le>; the
president settle it."
A WoHd Lead?r
The president's trip to Europe was
simply an act of a great man who refused
to permit evenvs to take the
wrong course while he in obedience
to precedent remained in Washington
and sought to do through ambassadors
what he was oarely able to accomplish
by his powerful personality and irre^j
sistible personal prestige on the spot, i
It is not too much to s:iy that Europe j
has already been spared a second
calamity of .war because Woodrow
Wilson went to Paris.
As the president reached th= p:n-j
nacle of his gi'ea.'.ncss in 'connection I
with the Great war, both in the mar- j
velous effectiveness of his leadership
of our national forces during the
conflict and in his unique moral and
intellectual leadership* in the Peace
Conference, so that he was destined
in the same connection to make his
most unhappy blunder and meet his
most serious defeat. Whether he
should have carried serveral strong
Republican leaders with him to Paris
may prehaps be open to discussion.
The future, though visiting the merit
ed scorn upon ccrtain senatorial leaders,
will entertain onj$one opinion as
to his tragic mistake in failing to
come to an agreement, even to the
extent of accepting the whole program
of the Foreign Relations committee's
reservations, as the only pos-;
sible means of enab^ng America to
serve her own interests and serve the
world through the League of Nations.
His blunder in that ,is responsible
more than all else combined for his
vprmtp rf autocracv. imDracticality,
and willfulness, and will result either
in the fruits of his labors being lost
or being gathered by others who little
deserve the honor.
The foundations of the president's!
power are laid in both intellect and
cKaracter. These two essentials of
greatness he possessed in a great degree
and combination that mark the
epochal man. The fervor of his religious
convictions, the fearlessness
of his pursuit of what he conceives to
be right, the prophetic vision of his
idealism, and the power of intellect
with which he marshals his forces are
raised to the utmost effectiveness by
a gift of expression that carries his
