Congressman Crumpacker tells a
story of Ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed,
who died Saturday night.
when 1 first came to congress, .
said Judge Crumpacker, "Speaker
Reed took me to n side and gave me
this advice. Young man. said be,
every act that you perform here you
should perform exactly asyou would
if you never expect to return to con
greSs. There will be a great popular
clamor for you to do this or do that
and you will be threatened with re-
tirement if you do this or that, but
the way to do is to act according to
your ideas of the right in every in
stance, let the chips fall where they
may. When l first came to congress
my friends up in Maine said l was too
independent and warned me that if l
did not pay more attention to requests
made of me l would be retired at the
end of my first term. l told them to
go ahead and retire me for l at least

having done what [ thought was

such a course did not hurt me in the
long run but rather strengthened me
and l would advise you to do the
same.

Concerning the plan to have a new
name for the Episcopal church, the
Chicago Record Herald says: "Bishop
John Hazen White, of Michigan City,
said: "MY position was sufficiently
clear on this point last month, when
the council of this diocese voted to
change the name to American Catho-
lie church. 1t is not so much a ques-
tion of name as the correction of an
erroneous impression regarding the
church. We deem it advisable to
adopt the new name to dispose Of the
belief that the church is identified

The Presidents Attitude.

GA Washington special says: The
influence of the president is being felt
in the statehood fight in the senate.
Although thereShas been no public
statement of the presidents attitude,
he has talked with several senators on
the proposition and told them all that
after long consideration he had reach
ed the conclusion that Oklahoma was
the only territory at present fitted for
statehood.
The presidents reasons against adj
hitting New Mexico are that the
population Of the territory is back
ward, both in learning the English
language and in active participation
in political life. The courts, he has
noted are conducted largely in Spanish
for the convenience of the popula-
ton.
AS for Arizona. the president be-
lieves that the agricultural resources
of the territory have been developed
fully, and not many people may be
expected to settle there to till the
soil, especially in view of the fact
that the land left available is arid and
can only be developed by costly irriga-
ton works. The mining regions of
Arizona, while they are now at the
hight of prosperity, may not always
be SO, and the population of mining
regions is always unstable.

the territorial admission contes

the territorial admission contest,
which will be opened in the senate
this week, has developed feat
ures which were not expected when
the bill passed the house last summer.
The movement for the annexation of
Indian Territory to Oklahoma and its
admission as a single state is much
stronger than it was then. The OPP
position to the immediate admission
of New Mexico and Arizona is much
more formidable now than anybody
at that time expected. Public in
rerest in the whole admission matter is
greater now than it was at that time.

Letter to Jacob Ness,
PLYMOUTH, Ind.

1L1AOO1h 1ilOs
DEAR SIR: When you build a
house you want a good paint next the
woed-lt goes a long way in taking
care of the wood. The paint that has
the best chance to be useful is this
first coat; first two coats; first three
coats. The first takes care of the
wood; the second takes care of the
first: the third takes care of the two.
All three become one: and that one is
to last forever. "Forever" means as
long as the house lasts. The way to
make the first painting last, as long
as the house, is to follow it up with
repainting often enough.
How often? Depends on the
paint. Repaint while the paint is
still water proof. All the wear is
outside, there is no wear on the under
paint. This is how the first painting
lasts forever by keeping it covered;
keeping it sound. And this is the
cheapest way to take care of a house.
But how often to paint depends on
your paint. If you paint lead and
oil, paint again in three years or less;
if Devoe Ready Paint, paint again in
three years or more.
That ssleSS" and s'more" are about
as one or two. Devoe Ready Paint
takes care of a house at half cost, be-
cause it lasts twice Is long as lead and
oil.
Yours truly,
r w DEvor e. 10

A tariff bill at any time is not and
cannot be the creature of one mind. 1t
means the result of a contest by all
interests and all minds. Hence, when
ever any mar thinks of a tariff he

tariff bill which will never be enacted.
