in comm cree but law honesty? Is the
limit Of cheating reached only at the

A new field Of fraud is brought to
notice in New York and constitutes the
final straw TO inspire refiecaion along
these lines. Commissioner Drisooll OF
the bureau of weights and measures of
that city says that the people of the
metropolis have been getting short
measurements in dry goods as well as
short weights in groceries and meats.
To reporter for the New York Jour
nal Of Comm cree Commissioner Dris-
coll declared that the practice extends
to many lines, such as sheets, towels,
ma pkins, table cloths, etc, and involves
some of the largest and best known dry
goods houses in the city. AS proof OF
his contentious, he exhibited a letter
sent out by one of these firms. The
letter read.

or retailer, but with the manufacturer,
and calls attention to sections OF
the consolidated penal laws and OF the
penal laws Of New York. under which
the placing OF false labels On any COM
modify or article of merchandise con-
stitutes a misdemeanor. Commissioners
Driscoll remarked:
Upon investigation this was found
to be a general condition, and the
practice extended not only to pillow
cases, sheets, bed spreads. and towels,
but even to the most expensive linen
table and napkins. 1t is quite evident
from this letter that the WHOLESALERS did
not intend to defraud the retailer, but
rather, to place in the hands of the re-
l regard this practice as being just as
vicious as The practice OF cheating with
a fraudulent sale. The poor peddlet
with small scale could not cheat as
much in ten years in his business with
a fraudulent scale as these firms could
cheat in ono day with the combined

from the most honest motives. and the
fact that the plan was adopted by so
small a majority was largely due TO
their united opposition. 1t is worth
while here to confess that the first
election under the commission plan did
not operate to inspire them with faith
in the plan. Unfortunately, the ma
tionaiity question was raised. and a
bitter fight followed. The plan itself
was not responsible for the raising OF
the issue; 1t might just as easily have
been raised in a school election, or in
a mayoraity election under the old
plan 1t was simply an unfortunate In
cident, due entirely to local conditions
and having no counterpart in any 9TH
er election under the commission plan
anywhere, so far as has been reported
in the papers That the nationality
question will not again be raised seems
a foregone conclusion. The general
disposition is to select men on their
merits regardless Of nationality. creed
or any other thing which has no direct
bearing on the affairs Of the city.
The opposition Of the Bohemians to
the adoption OF the plan has been
proved totally unwalranted- And by
far the larger majority of citizens of
that nationality have come to that
conclusion. Scores upon scores of them
have indicated that had they the OPP
portunity to vote again on the prop
osition their votes would be recorded
in the affirmative. The Bohemian
citizenship has been treated just as
any other class of citizens-they have
been treated as citizens, each man the
equal of any other man. The section
Of the city which they largely inhabit
has been given its full share Of bet
terments. One thing that has served
more than anything else to show the
Bohemian people the value Of the COM
mission plan has been the building Of
the Sixteenth avenue bridge. The old
bridge, long ago pronounced unsafe
and inadequate, connected two sections
OF the city Inhabited mostly by Bohem-
ians, and afforded large rural pop
ulation ingress to and egress from
section Of, the city devoted to business
houses operated by Bohemians. The
story OF the delay in building the new
bridge has been briefly told. Within
two years after the Inauguration of the
commission plan the new bridge Is
completed and thrown open to traf-
fic; and It was ordered built not be-.
cause 1t favored the Bohemians partic-
ularly, nor yet because their support
of the plan was desired, but because
the council and the whole city recog-
nized that an urgent need for the
building Of the bridge existed
The Bohemians have been won to the
support Of the plan because it has been
business plan-just the kind of
system that appeals to the business
man of the most practical kind-aud
that is what the Bohemian citizen is.
