The Bureau of Standards of the De.

duty nearly as important as that which
is being performed by the Bureau of
Chemistry in insrring purity in foods.
1t is endeavoring to establish a system
under which consumers viii get packages
of full size and full weight. 1t is said
that the shortage in flour delivered in
jute bags averages four pounds to the
barrel, and that purchasers of cereal
products in board cartons do not get full
weight. 1t is well known that bottles
are smaller than full pint and quart re-
ceptacles, and the public has accepted
the fact as an eccentricity of trade; but

Following closely upon the avowal of
the use of gumdrops by DIR. Cook to
ensure the industry and fidelity of Els
quimaux whose help he needed to en-
able him to reach the North Pole comes
the report of the resort to chocolate by
the girl necktie workers of New York,
not only for their own nutrition and
sustenance during their pending strike
for higher wages and shorter hours, but
also as an inducement to other girls to
stand by them till the struggle is over
and not accept the places which they
have left vacant. The form in which
the toothsome substance will be EN-
ployed for the latter purpose will be
that of chocolate creams. The gum
drop and the chocolate cream have much
in common. Both have been used with
telling effect by young men campaigning
against the citadel of feminine hearts
From hygienic standpoint the resort
to chocolate as a means of acquiring
friendly assistance is preferable to de-
pendeace upon it for nutrition When
all is said for it, chocolate must be re-
garded as a stimulant rather than a
food. 1t 10 too highly concentrated to
be relied upon with safety as a substi-
tute Cor bread and butter or meat and
potatoes. Those who so long upon a
sole diet of chocolate will be likely to
suffer physical deterioration not easily
repaired. But as a substitute for hair
pulling and head-cracking in an effort to
conciliate strike-breakers the chocolate
cream deserves commentator without
reserve. This feature of the programme
of the New York Necktie-makers' Union
sets a good example to other labor
unions throughout the United States

Sir Thomas Upton is putting the New
York Yacht Club into an unsportsman-
like attitude by expressing a willingness
to race for the Americas cup with a
yacht of any size, but in accordance with
the universal rule of measurement now
part of the code of the New York or
ganization and all other prominent
American yacht clubs. The deed of
gift" under which the trophy is held re-
quires a challenger to come across the
sea on her own bottom, but mt the same
time it permits the challenged club to
defend with yacht that is unfit to cross
the ocean. This is manifestly unjust.
1t is strange that the deed of gift -
which was altered during one of the con-
troversies which have marked the strug-
gle for the cup, should be capable of such
Interpretation. The Americans should
chivalrously throw aside any advantage
of this sort and meet Sir Thomas with
a sea-going yacht while at the same time
compelling him to come across the sea
under sail, under convoy, if necessary,
but not in tow.

The Department of Agriculture is fear
full that the principal apple orchards of
the United States may become infected
with the San Jose scale. and has issued
a bulletin giving instructions for the flu
migation of trees. The danger lies in the
earelessneSs of orchard owners who do
not make fruit raising a special business,
and who therefore neglect the trees while
they are giving their attention to the
product upon which they rely for their
financial receipts. If the commercial
fruit raiser were to neglect his trees as
does the average orchard owner fruit
raising would be a failure everywhere.

Although ships have grown large
within the past twenty-five years, they
are still playthings for the elements
when the latter become rampageous. A
passenger was killed in his berth on the
steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm, of the
North-German Lloyd line. on the latest
run of that steamer across the Atlantic,
and another passenger was severely
bruised by an attachment of the piano,
which broke loose during The lurches of
the ship. The incidental remark that
despite the conditions the Kronprinz
made good voyage, crossing in five
days, seventeen hours and fifteen min
utes, at an average speed of 22.21 knots, .
reveals the fact that the steamer was
taking things as she found them. Had
she maintained slower pace she would
not have been battered by the elements
quite so severely, and she would ha re
delivered her complement of passengers
without casualty. But the speed
mania prevails, and if storms do not
batter ships the latter will batter them
selves against storms in effort to make
good time at all hazards.

Inclined to be somewhat Impractical;

Perhaps too many 'litersry 5eiiows'
are wont to take themselves too
seriously. and the, claim: tiats their
possession of the vision and the fac
hlty diyine' makes them wiser than
the rest Of the world. Even poets
and noselists yof indisputabie rank
have often revealed themselves fan
tastic and absurd in their rash adj
ventures into, political speculation.
In the ideal Communities they have
vaguely glfmpsed, there is. frequently
a thin unreaiity. They are wont to
balloon themselves up into rare
fied atunosphere where the ordinary
man cannot breathe. The plain
people would have been sadly mis-
guided had they attempted to take
their politics from Shelley, for one,
or from Balzac. for another; nor
would they have found much more
solid support in Hugo or in Haw-

"No Chance.

The Huntington Advertiser adds
the following bit of philosophy to
the general fund that is intended to
help and encourage mankind;
Instead of saying I'VE have no
chance" the more practical thing IS
TO make little investigation and
see If We have neglected any oppo.-
tnnities.
1t is not so much that we do not
have chances to improve ourselves
as that We too often think that the
chance will be as good tomorrow as
1t is today. 1t generally doesn't
prove to Me.
There is nothing of the kind more
prevalent and more dangerous than
procrastination. The time to do
what we ought to do is today. not
tomorrow.
The man who does not hesitate to
take step which We believe he
should. who is afraid of opposition,
ridicule or difficulties, and who does
1t when he has the chance, is the
man who succeeds.

Sermon Preached to Knights
Templars by Rev.
Mr.. Bird.

Before large congregation in Gofr
NJ. E. church Sunday morning, the
Rev. ]. z. Bird preached the annual
Easter sermon toithe local comman-
derry Of knights Templars. The
church was crowded. and about 100
failed to gain admission. There was a
large turnout Of the commandery.
Rev. Mr. Birds theme, was .Im-
mortality. based upon the text, WHO
has brought life and immortality to
light?'' He developed the idea Of
instinct for Immortality among the
Hebrews and the rational basis Of
immortality among the Creeks. But
this was for both, only strong pre-
sumption, he pointed out. and the far
climb from this ground to the sure
faith of Christian civilization was
made in the revelation Of Jesus Christ.
which revelation was climaxed By His
death and resurrection.
The sermon was eloquent and In
spring and Rev. Mr.. Bird held thu
closest attention of all.

Arin,al,,ents.

Why this paradox OF peace and
armaments? The civilized world is
at peace and never before were the
peace societies so numerous and SO
active. Yet never, perhaps, has
there been so great race for im-
mense ornaments. Does 1t mean
that our people are Indifferent to
sentiment or unmoved ny the dollars
and cents argument against naval
expansion? Or do they demand ar
maments because they feel that no
reliable substitute can yet be of
sfered?
On the one hand are many peace
societies denouncing the wickedness
and folly and extravaganza of more
ibattleships and urging the United
States to set an example by reducing
Its navy? On, the other stands Rich
ard Pearson Hobson with his "Prac-
teal Peace League wehemently de-
manding an ever larger navy as a
guarantee of peace. While midway
between the two, the Interparliamen-
tary Union and the Lake Mohonk
Conference are inclined to treat the
subject as secondary. regarding
armaments as results. rather than
causes. and seeking to perfect the
machinery or arbitration until It
shall gradually displace most wars
ana ~atrophy excessive armament by
making it unnecessary.
Just where lies the truth Is diff
cult TO say. Doubtless future Hague
Conferences will fnd some means Of
checking somewhat. by mutual
agreement of all nations, tie impov-
erishing increases Of armament. But
the. work will be slow. Meanwhile
sane discussion OF the subject will
hasten its solution. But radical ex-
hortation concerning purely national
armaments either of the Hobson or
anti-Hobson type, is more likely to
defeat its end than to accomplish
anything of lasting value.

Even now the Aiaska-Ynkon-Pa

from eastern, southern and middle
western states to the Pacific coast
partly for the reason that the expo.
sttion opens up new line Oh

as we'll as the Orient, and partly he
cause of the attractions and opportu-
mites Of the states bordering the
Pacific.
The state of Washington and
more particularly the Puget Sound
country will soon be the mecca for
train loads OF strangers. But WASH
ington will not hold the visitors fos
an indefinite period. They have
something In mind further than a
visit the exposition at Seattle.
There are opportunities on the
Pacific coast for the homeseeker as
we'll as the merchant and manufac-
turer, and the visitors intend to see
inst what Oregon. Idaho. Utah,
Wyoming. Nevada. Oklahoma as we'll
as British Columbia have to offer in
the way of inducements to those
who make their homes there. OIL
course the transient tourists will
also be there in large numbers.
The exposition itself is going to
open the eyes of the thousands of
visitors who go to Seattle to find an
exhibition very similar to what has
been offered before. The Alaska
Yukon-Paciic Exposition is not GO
ing to be remembered after \ its
gates close because OF its great size
or by the number of its buildings,
but because OF It's novelty and the
beautiful picture formed by the
work of the builder and landscape
artist, framed in by lakes, noun

Literary Men and Public Affairs.


In an interesting essay in the

and Public AFFAIRS" Brander Matt
news discusses the suspicion enter
tanned by the mass OF the people as
to the qualifications of literary men
and college professors for taking a
leading part in the administration of

OF this suspicion to the conditions
which existed in the early history of
the country when the men of action,
those who broke the ground and
cleared the forests. were apt to look
with more or less contempt at those
who worked with their brains In.
