Letter to =. M. BireIy.

Dear Sir Your business is, when house
burns down, to give the owner some money
to build n new one. 1t is a good business
Queer that the world got on so long without
it. We paint the one that burnt down and
the new one too What is better, we paint
the houses that don't burn down.
You insure the houses that burn; we in
sure the houses that don't. You have the
ashes and smoke; all the houses are ours.
We paint leadand zinc; Deyoc. We sell
the paint to painters; we don't paint.
ad-and -oil is the old fashion paint.
Devoe is zinc ground in with lead and I'm.
seed oil: the best paint in the world: and the
cheapest, because it takes fewer gallons than
mixed paints and it wears twice as long as
lead and oil. Nobody wants poor paint;
there's lots Of it, though, in the world.
A NJ Griffin, Plainfeld. N j, writes:
mir Aaron Higgins of Plainfeld, always used IS
gallons of mixed paint for his house Last Spring he
bought IS gallons OF Devoe and had gallons left,
Yours truly

For.i's Grand Opera House.

Week Nov. I'd the successful American
actress Viola Allen in an artistic and su-
pcth production of Shakcspea,e's comedy,
TWELFTH NIGHT.
Miss Allen opened her season in Springfield
Oct. 19.h appearing as Viola in Twelfth
Night" and met with success artistically and
financially, the audience large and cnthusi'
astic 1t was not only Miss Aliens first mp
pearance il q Shakespearean role but it was
also the first time she has been seen in male
attire She made dainty Viola and 1t is to
be wondered at that she has meyer beeo seen
before in Shakespearean Characterization.
She read her lines clearly and with nice
discretion. In the garb of youth she lost
none of her charm and gave to the role a
touch of feeling that made 1t most effective.
She did not make lark of her masquerade
but PLAYED the role scenes with real senti-
ment. Niola's love for Orsno she brought
out with every proper gesture every telling
intonation of voice.
Miss Allen is surrounded by n company OF
excellent players. John Blair played NAL
volio admirably, Clarence Handysides as Sir
Toby and Frank Currier as Sir Andrew
made distinct hits of the evening Scott
Craven as Orsino and James Young as Sc
bastan, Zeffle Tllbury as Maria and Nora
OBrien as Olivia were most excellent
The play is staged in the most elaborate
fashion and the Italian garden scene with
its fountain of running water was beautiful.

The man who said Congressman Mahon
had stirred up horpet's nest by the appoint

Publicity.

Not an uncomfortable item of expense in
the present political campaign in Maryland
is the bills to be paid publishers. To an I'M
usual extent are the newspaper columns of
the State being utilized to lay before the
voters the claims of the several candidates.
1t constitutes probably the most legitimate
expenditure of campaign funds.

EDITORIAL
From the Baltimore Herald En-.
dorsing Judge McSherry.

His Reelection More Import
ant Than the Election of Cow
ernOr or the Legislature In
Many Respects. Says this In
dependent Paper.
The Baltimore Herald in its issue of Octo.
Der 10, 1908, says:
1t IS remarkable that while the Republi
cans of Baltimore have acted with unexam-
pied forbearance in the judicial nominations,
the Republicans in the Sixth Circuit are
ontesting the re. election OF Chief Judge Nc
Sherry.
1t is all. we understand, complication OF
local factional conditions and ambitions, but
no explanations can mitigate the misfortune
of partisan opposition to this great and use
full jurist. We say this with full apprecia"
ton of the merits of the candidate the Rep.
ublicans have placed on their ticket.
Judge McSherry not only should be but
must be re. elected. To defeat him would be
to bring loss upon the whole State. In
many respects his cause is more important
than the election of Governor or of the Leg
islature that will choose United States Sen
ator. file is at the head of our judiciary. He
has done more to increase the efficiency of
the Court of Appeals than any man in the
memory of the present generation.
BY his clergy and unremitting diligence
Judge McSherry has brought the work of
the Court of Appeals up to date. The old
delays which once Attic; ed 1t are gone 1t
is modern business body. The change has
been worth more in money and time to the
interests and the people of this State than
can be estimated in figures.
1.-THE Republicans Of the Sixth Circuit are
wise they will unite with the Democrats in
giving him majority that will make him
feel that his splendid service is fully recog-

Kansas is rapidly coming to the front

since been great demand for farm
literature along that line. This. and :be
fact that there has been considerable
advance in dairying methods since the

sixty-fve Special Halloween Police
men Are Sworn In.

Sixty five special policemen were sworn
in this morning by Mayor Bergundthal for
duty tonight. This army of specials which
will wander around over town tonight. IS
mostly composed of city employees. A
number are school janitors who will have
authority to prevent the destruction OF
scaool property. The street commission
er sent to the police station this morning
for 10 tin stars, but did not get them. 1t
has been the time honored custom Tor
one-day specials to keep the tin stars
loaned them for the occasion, so the gal
lon or more of tin badges with which the
police were at once supplied. has dwindled
down to less than two dozen. Some fun
ny incidents usually occur when so many
green specials are turned lose on the city
at one time. Before morning the people
may expect to hear of the specials chasing
each other or being chased off the range
by real policemen.
