NETRICS IMPORTANT
IN LATIN AMERICA

Washington, d. C.-The question
of measures seems TO be a very i'm
portant matter in the Latin-American
trade. This Is being emphasized here
in government circles. Instances
multiply where persistence by COM
meroial houses and others in using
the present obsolete weights and
measures have not only caused en-
barrassment, but even prevented
trade development.
An instance is cited from Lima,
Peru, where an American firm which
neglected to submit its invoices in
metric terms was saved from the con-
hscation Of its entire shipment only
after strenuous efforts by the United
States commercial attaehe at that
port.
A bulletin by the Latin-American
division Of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, in discussing the
necessity Of the metric system in Lat
in-American trade, says that the
present lack of uniformity in the ola
weights and measures used in Latin
America constitutes enc of the chief
reasons for the extension of the met
ric system in that part of the world.
The recognized advantages OF uni
formity and simplicity possessed by
the metric system and the impetus al
ready given it in Latin-America by its
official adoption, make it the logical
successor Of the numerous and vary
ing systems that must inevitably
yield to definite standards with the
expansion of trade and the resulting
improvement in communication"

Ter. who were candidates for the re-
publican nomination, had played golf
together at Augusta, Ga. In his mes,
sage of congratulation, DR.. Butler ad-
vised him not to let politics entirely

enthusiast.
Franklin n. Roosevelt, the vice
presidential nominee, sent the follow
ing telegram in response to the gov,
ernor's of Tuesday night:
"The sincere congratulations and
warm regards OF your team mate are
all yours. l will stop off on my way
east to convey them to you in per-
son"
One of the most highly priced
Fluctuations came from Colonel Henry
Watterson. The governor said he
was particularly pleased over It be.
cause Colonel Watterson represented
to him the ideal journalist. Colonel
Watterson's telegram said:
Your nomination re.vitaliZed de

heart of the nation with a reflection
Of triumphant victories of the pas,
and the forecast of radiant future.

les along with the assurance of glor-
ious victory"
Another highly priced message came
from Jake Daubert of the Cincinnati
Reds. 1t said
1T was in the stars that you would
be president"
The first part Of the message was
the governors own language in con-
gratulnting the Reds on winning the
pennant. Tex Rickard, boxing pro-
moter also sent congratulations.
Governor Cox said he had received
congratulatory messages from every
candidate at the San Francisco con-
vention, many from the ranks OF labor
and equally as many from business
men throughout the country.

WHY SHOULD HEs

A great deal Of fuss has been made.
by those who are supporting Senator
Gore for reelection to the United
States senate, because Scott r'erris
has refused to meet the blind man in
joint debate.
From platform the senator de-
nounces Ferris through the columns
of the few newspapers which espouse
his cause he cries out against him,
from the lips of his Socialistic cam
paigners he demands To know why
the pretty man" refuses to meet him
and debate with him the issues be
tween them.
why will not the pretty man meet
me in joint debate?" shouts the man
Of many promises. why will not
Ferris meet Senator Gore on the
platform" queries the Republican
and subsidized Democrat press. why
won't Ferris come out Of his shell
and talk over the war with Gore?'
intones the Gore Volunteer" who
old not volunteer to fight the Hun.
The answer is obvious. best ans
wered with a question, why should
he?"
Seriously, can anyone advance a
real reason why Gore should be
honored by Ferris? Why should Fer
ris so forget his American manhood
Ia, af 1nt-a1f.y
country and flag with any man-Gore
or anyone else who placed America
and American principles beneath his
heel when the government which had
honored him looked to him for sup
port?
Jim Reed was OF the Gore stripe,
and the national Democracy, without
Joint debate" refused to permit his
communicating presence on the floor
Of the San Francisco convention. The
national Democracy is a pretty big
man" bigger than Jim Reed, and
Scott Ferris not only belongs TO the
national Democratic party, but is an
American above all else and. with
mis- party and his country, is a big
ger man than Senator Gore.
AmericanisIn, itself loyalty to coun-
try, loyalty 10 the Constitution, 10y
atty TO The Declaration of Independ-
ence loyalty to the memories of the
men who starved and fought and died
upon the fields Of battle during the
Revolutionary war, arises and forbids
the discussion Americanism.
Mr.. Gore may be a better orator
than Scott Ferris. He may be a
better juggler of words. He most GER
tainly knows how to dodge an issue.
But Mr.. Gore has no question which
should be met by Scott Ferris. or
any other American. upon the stump
or from platform.
And should Scott Ferris, as a can
didate for the United States senate.
as an American. meet Gore upon al
Logged questions which loyalty says
cannot be issues, he would not only
lCwcl his own manhood, but would
lose the respect of every man, woman
and child who believes that America
is supreme, that the Constitution of
America is sacred, that the Stars
and Stripes make up a flag which
is a noble emblem, an emblem con-
secrated to the patriotism of Ameri-
cans. by the blood Of the heroes who
