The tip' polntmcnt of n special Canadian min ister plenipotentiary to the United States is undcrsWd to have been In definitely postponed. Canada's interests In this country thus will bo left In the hands of Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, who because of his long residence in that British common wealth Is regarded by the Canadians as having full personal knowledge of the nlms and needs of their country. An element which has been consid ered In connection with direct Canadian representation in Washington is that Australia, South Africa and other Brit ish colonics and dominions might desire similar representation. In fact, there was a movement In some of the colo nies for such representation, nnd the British foreign offico was said to have taken the view that Inefficiency might result from having several colonial min isters in the United States.

READERS' VIEWPOINT Letters to the Editor on Current Topics Wants a Woman In Council To the Editor of the Evening PuWo Ltda'r: Sir There Is n. flno chaneo for the local politicians of all factions to prove the sincerity of thetr Interest In tho new voters, tho women who have Just been enfranchised, and who are manifesting a praiseworthy attention to tholr now rights nnd to public affairs. A vacancy In Council has been created by tho death of William 13. Kinley, of tho First district It Is a vacancy that should not be filled by a political hack. Tho city pays councllmen a ealary suffi cient to entitle It to expect members of character and ability capablo of render ing? the public a real service, and not sitting In Council as mere dummys, whoso first consideration Is to act lor some private interest regardless of what mav bo required In the public behalf. Tho vac.ino Is one to w hlch a woman may appropriately nnd consistently as pire, and there Is no question that women aro eligible for the position. The opportunity Is open to both tho womei, und tho politicians, and a woman In Council would not be out of place. Many matters come beforo thnt body with which women aro even better qualified to deal than most men. A woman mem ber would ba nn Influence for civic bet terment, and such Influence Is not to u. Inconsiderately rejected at this time, when bo much Is noeded to strengthen the administration In the work of better municipal pocrnment Tho people of the First district can afford to push the politicians aside and elect a capable woman to represent them In Council, not for tho noeltv nf it. hut because It would be a credit to tho district a benefit to the public and a Just recognition of the new cltlzenshlo SOUTH PHILADELPHIAN.

Yard vs. Meter Again To the Editor of Evening Pubtta Ledger! Sir In your Issue of Friday there appears a letter signed by Samuel S. Dale, referring to tho yard and the meter. Hlfl contention that the yard la a fundamental standard Is manifestly erroneous, as I am sure that he would be unable to define a yard In an Intel ligible way without using tho meter as a standard. To question tho ruling of tho bureau of standnrds as to a measure is the same as to question a decision of tho Supreme Court. However they may appear to any Individual, tho decisions of tho Supremo Court aro the law of the land ; and, In the same way, the edicts of tho bureau of standards are the final word In matters concerning measure ments, and would undoubtedly bo so accepted In any court Mr. Dalo need have no concern as to the claim that the yard Is a, certain proportion of a meter, being propa ganda for the rnefric system. "Whether the standard Is expressed In terms of yards or meters does not alter the fact that the meter Is a real thing that can be determined at any time, whereas the yard Is nothing but 3800-3917 of a meter, ' The present meter was established In the latter part of the eighteenth cen tury by a commission appointed by the French Government, and Is one ten millionth of the meridian passing be tween Dunkirk and Barcelona: and this Is a definite length, a standard with which other measures may r com pared. The English yard was, of course. In existence for b, long time prior to the establishment of this standard, and was In no way altered. As far as the writer knows, there Is no similar stand ard In nature to which the yard may bo compared: and for this reason the bureau of standards wisely adopted a definition of the yard which did' not de pend upon some arbitrarily selected and artificially created standard.
