BUsHEL MEASURE TO GO.
Haskell Recommends Substitution
of 100 Pounds WEIGHT Unit.


of 100 Pounds Weight Unit.
Col. W. c. Haskell. Superintendent Of
Weights. Measures and Markets. has
recommended to the Commissioners that
legislation be obtained providing for the
substitution Of weight unit of 100
pounds and the abolition Of the bushel
measurement Col. Haskell believes that
such legislation would go a long way
toward reducing the high cost OF living
as well as being a check on dishonest
tradesmen.
II is probable that a bill embodying
Col Haskelrs suggestion will be intro
duced into the next session OF Congress.
as the Board of Commissioners regard
the proposition with favor. This ques-
ton OF sale of commodities by weight
rather than by measurement was con-
sidered at the recent National Confer
ence of Weights and Measures, the con-
clusion being in favor Of sales by weight.

Germany's Centennials.

From the Indianapolis News
This Is a great year Of centennials in
Germany. and doubtless it was with a
knowledge Of the nature thereof that the
government chose the time to try for
its military expansion, its enormous in
crease of German armament. For a
month the Fatherland has been cele-
brating the centennial of the War of
Liberation" when finally ii hurled back
Napoleons onset. This will last until
October, when the centennial of the bat
tie of Leipzig will be observed. Ger
many does not see II, of course, but IL
is mournful enough that 1913 should find
not SO much the land resounding with
warlike memories as with exhortations
for further preparedness for war" The
liberties won in 1913 are used as the text
for making the land still more an armed
camp and this, too, when the nation has
grown SO great that 1t really is in dan
ger Of nothing.

Washington has seldom seen 50 numcr

hy The newspapers are being filled with
paid advertisements to mSlead the judg
mcnt of public men and the country it
self. There is every evidence that money
without limit is being spent TO create an
appearance of public opinion 1t is of
serious interest TO the country that the
people AT large should have voice III
these matters while great bodies Of as
tutc men seek to create artificial opinion.
President Wilson said that only pub
lie opinion could check and destroy this
lobby. He said it is concentrated against
free sugar and wool. and that he is sure
increased efficiency will be overcome II
he tariff cuts these industries. The pres
ident declared that "syStematic msrcp-

ton is being maintained by this lobby.
which he said is the greatest and most
powerful in wears, if not in the entire
history Of the government
President dCeS not mean to intimate
the lobbyists are corrupt, but only that
they waged campaign of miSrepresres-
cntatiOn TO create artificial sentiment
against the new schedules. He believes
public opinion should relieve the burden
from congress.
