NO METRIC SYSTEM.

Refusal of the British Parliament

Congress, is accepted by even the adj

The House Of Commons sQuclChed
the bill to force a change to metric
system by vote of $50 to IFS, which
is considered a sufficient majority to

on the subject gives valuable in
sight into what the change would
have involved. II comments as fol-

The metric system has advantages
In the measurement Of drugs and In
scientific work. but there are so
many disadvantages In the matter of
changing national standards that the
system seems to be still far In the flu

speaking countries the entire fabric
of official property records would
have to be reconstructed and inesti-

THAT CARTER JAPANESE DENIAL.

Up 20 the present the Bulletin has
made no comment on what was. to
say the least. % thoughtlcss and uu-
fortunate remark by the Governor.
Hut there Is o. limit to the amount OF
Misrepresentation To- which ncwspa-

Governor Carter gave the interview
and he was quoted I'm his exact words.
Two men whose word will he taken
in any court Of the country can make
affidavit to the fact.
That he made a break for which It
was afterwards necessary to offer
some excuse is not sufficient grounds
for constantly ringing the changes on
the old yarn that the reporters either
misQuutcd him or violated his conf
dencp.
Only God Almighty can change the
fact that Carter said what he was
quoted as saying. and a special dis
pensation Is not likely to be granted
IN this case.
The Individual who thinks that the
,cm1rk made by the Governor would
make or break him merely duplicates
the folly and makes pair Of them.

Of standard time required merely the

standard-a comparatively simple

With the metric system the whole
fabr." of business would be disturbed
and new records would have tn be
prepared for every piece of property
in the country. which would be only
one of many items The amount of
work cntailed would be appalling The
rejection Of the metric system by

tests have recently been made to ascer-
tain what is the most certain method
Of curing rheumatism permanently.

POWERS WINS A POINT
Second Venire is Discharged
Judge Acts When He
Learns of Influence.

Georgetown, KY, Nov. 20.-The at
torneys for Caleb Powers in his fourth
trial won for him today the first sub
stantial victory in his fight for life ana
liberty when Special Judge Morris sus-
tanned the motion to discharge the
second venire. The main contention
has been that politics has been in
jected into the case at all previous
trials, that an effort to continue this
condition has been made in the venire
of 200 men summoned from Harrison
county, and that the defendant could
not obtain justice
1t has been argued that the twelve
men ultimately selected to try the case
would all be democrats. For this rea-
son counsel for Powers attacked the
venires drawn from Harrison county.
Proof was forthcoming as to the poll
teal character of those section of Har-
rison county from which the venire-
men were summoned
Following the order discharging the
second venire Judge Norris overruled
the motion to discharge the first, de-
claring that the objections to it had
not been sustained. But four of these
remain and they may tomorrow present
excuses that may relieve them from
jury duty.

Columbus, O., Nov Ex-senator 10
seph Benson Foraker was "vindicated''
today by the executive and advisory
committee of the Ohio League of Re
publican clubs, in joint session.
The senator was Endorsed or re

declared to be the leagues choice for
the republican presidential nomination.
The nomination of the senator, the
resolution of Endorsement said, would
lat this time of business depression
and financial uncertainty arouse the

confidence, and insure victory"
Friends of Secretary Taft evinced no
alarm at the Foraker meeting. They

THAT in our opinion, the good Of
the republican party requires that we
should positively announce that we
have no sympathy whatever with the
proposition that has been recently adj
vanced that Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker be eliminated and be retired
from public life. because he was not
able to agree with President Roosevelt
as to the rate bill or joint statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona, or about
the Brownsville matter.
"On the contrary. we believe he was
right. in opposing joint statehood, and
we thoroughly approve his action in
demanding that the negro soldiers OF
the Twenty-ffth United States infant
~ should be given an opportunity to
testify in their own defense"
Want Him in White House.
Continuing. the resolution said in
part:
Entertaining these views, we assure
him that he has our unqualified conf
dence and esteem. and we not only
pledge him our loyal support for his re-
election to the senate, but we further
declare that he is our choice as the
republican candidate for the president
of the United States in 19oS.'

lie said he recognized the fact that
there are times when justice and rea-
son, which desire 10 attain the highest

Therefore. he said. it became the part

ing nation, to cooperate in every way
with tho president and statesmen Of
America to avoid difficulties
Slap nj European Immigrants.
From the highest standpoint of civil
lization." said Count Okuma, 1T Is
unreasonable for one country to close
its doors TO people who desire TO learn
from America. as we have learned for
the last fifty years, but we have no
doubt that passion, race prejudice, in
ternational politics, and economic prob
lens are all playing a part in the
present depressed condition of America
but Japan will feel keenly the dis
elimination If congress should bar the
doors to the east while opening them
to thousands of Europeans every
week"
Fleets Visit Welcomed.
Count Okuma added that the Ameri-
can fleet would be welcomed heartily
by Japan. because its visit would
tend to bring the people of these ma
tions closer together He said the PEG
pie Of Japan had never accepted the
possibility Of war between the two
countries.
