cIereymen and Lay Workers Hold =
Meeting in Washington.


Washington, December CLERGY
men and lay workers of all denomina'
tons and coming from many parts OF
the country were present today at the
opening eff conference of the state
and district superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league.
The conference is in the nature Of
a preliminary to the eighth annual
of the league to be held in
Washington next week, Reports Of
the superintendents will be prepared
for the consideration of the convent
ion and other details for the big meet
ing arranged.
The year has been one Of more than
ordinary activity for the anti-saloon
workers and the reports will show a
gratifying increase in membership and
a widening of influence.
An important matter that will come
before the convention for considerR-
ton, and probably for condemnation,
is the Recommendation of General
Young, chief of the general staff OF
the army, favoring the re-establish.
ment of the canteen at posts and bar
racks of the United States army. The
anti-saloon league was one of the chief
factors in the movement that result.
ed in the abolishment of the can
teen and, according to the declaration
of the officers and other leading work
ers who are here, the organization
will do all in it's power to prevent
it's establishment.

done and that when said assessment
has been once made it shall stand as
made for term of say three yeaIS
when new general assessment of all
property shall be made, the owner OF
the city having the right, during any
year of the period in which one may
desire to do so, to demand an arbi-
tration of the assessment.
Thus the income of the city may
be more readily computed and its ex-
penses put. as they should be, upon a
par with it's income and the tax payer
will pay taxes upon only the real val
ue of his property and the city will
pay the salaries of assessors for one
year out of the three instead of an
nually as at present.
q. There is absolutely no neces-
sity for injecting or attempting to
inject the race issue into the pres
ent city politics. There is certainly
no attempt or desire upon the part Of
the colored population of this city to
dominate and control its affairs, and
we affirm that the effort to array class
against class is unjust, unfair and I'M
necessary, and believing that the nom
inesses named by this mass meeting in
convention assembled all are good
and true men and are in favor of
the principles and politics herein
announced, we pledge them our ear
nest support by influence and vote,
feeling assured that those nominees
and this platform will meet the un-
qualified endorsement of the great
majority of our citizens.
The platform committee consisted
of the following gentlemen: E. H.
Mason, chairman; Boiling Whitfield,
H. F. Dunwody, c. H. Leavy, J. E.
Dart, B. Padrosa, U. Dart, w. E.
Dempster, J. H. Tankersley, R. l..
Grady
After the ratification of the platform
the nomination we're made. Mr. Down
ing was nominated by E. H. Mason;
Captain Duncan Wright by G. H.
Leavy, Mr.. Krauss by Judge Boiling
Whitfield, and Mr.. Davis by Captain
U. Dart. In each case the nomina-
tion was ratified by standing vote.
Following the nominations, 80
minute address was made by Hon. E.
H. Mason, who discussed number
Of features OF the campaign.
On motion the chair appointed a
committee consisting of Messrss H. F.
Dunwody, U. Dart and G. H :. Leayy
to notify the nominees of the act
ion OF the club and request their ac-
cepance of the nomination. The meet
ing here adjourned.
In this connection another meeting
OF the registered voters will be held
in the course of few days, due no
tice Of which will be given in these
columns.

Dear Sir: You naturally want te
make your own and your customers
money 60 IS tar as possible. So, In
the general interest, we tell you why
fewer gallons OF Devoe Lead and Zinc
will paint a house than mixed paints.
Let's suppose you are using lead and
oil. Instead of lead and oil you put in
four-fifths whiting, lime, water, and
other stuff that doesn't paint at all
Put that against gallon Of lead aud
oil, aud what Will it do? One-fifth as
much.
How much OF your labor is wasted
Four.fifths. How good j;b Will ii
make? No comparison. How much
good will 1t do you in your bust ness t.,
turn out such job?.
And so on.
