Dear Sirs: The way to buy paint is
to go by the name. There is name
never seen on sham paint or weak
paint or short-measure paint: Devoe.
There are a hundred different names

weak; some short-measure: and some
all three.
If there is another such paint as
Devoe lead-and-zinc we don't know
it. There are a few fairly good
paints; a few: only one Devoe. A

NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRH.
Worst Cases Quickly Cured by Breath
ing Hyomei. Guaranteed by Daw-

ing I1yOIleIs " Guaranteed ny Jaw
son Drug Company.
There is really not the slightest eX-
cuse for anyone having catarrh, now
that Hyomei IS so widely known and
so easily obtained. The worst cases
of catarrh are quickly cured simply
by breathing the remedy through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit.
Used in this way for a. few minutes
four times day every particle of air
that reaches the nose, throat and
lungs is laden with germ-killing and
health-giving Hyomei.
The sale of the Old-fashiOned stOm-
ach remedies for catarrh has been re-
duced to almost nothing since the in
PRODUCTION of Hyomei. Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store will tell
you that their sales on this Out-of-
date line have fallen off at least two
thirds in the last few years, while the
demand for HyOmei has increased as
it's curative powers became more
widely known.
The complete outfit, consisting of
neat pocket inhaler, medicine drop
per, and bottle of HyOmei costs
only one dollar, while extra bottles
can be obtained for so cents, making
HyOmei the most economical as we'll
as the most reliable method for curing
catarrh.
Dawson Drug Co. and Peoples Drug
Store positively guarantee a cure
when Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or they will refund
the purchase price

that the message sent by President

the fact is that the presidents message

A growing city like Omaha is not the
place to put into effect hard and fast
rules governing concessions by the city
to promote private enterprise. The
people of Omaha have in the past voted
bonds to secure the entrance OF new
railroads and granted valuable rights
to insure adequate depot facilities. They
have given bonuses for the location of
manufacturing plants and would today
meet any body OF capitalists half way
who proposed to put money i'm circula-
ton here and give employment to our
people by the erection Of mills and fac
tories. If a big cereal plant were about

SUSAN h. ANTHONY.

Minneapolis Journal; The death of Susan
b. Anthony removes from American public
life a remarkable figure. For more than
sixty years this woman has been active i'm
the work of social reformation. She may
be described as one of the first labor agi-
tators in this country.

and in the advocacy of wOman's suffrage.
fell upon her and in both causes she la
bored with a skill and indomitabIe energy
that made her perhaps the most effective
and influential of all the women who have
been conspicuous in these movements.
Cleveland Plain Dealer The respect and
esteem in which Miss Anthony was held
arose less from her success than from her
possession of those qualities which all
agree deserve success. She compelled ad-
miratiOn, even from those who were hos
tile to her cause, by reason OF her cour-
ageous, self-sacrihcing, slngle-minded de-
votion to her life mission and her admirable
equipment for leadership.
New York Sun: II we survey Miss An
thongs life as a whole we must recognize
that she accomplished a vast amount of
solid, durable and beneficial work. She
may be looked upon as the Moses OF the
movement for women's rights She brought
her sex out OF the wilderness wherein for
centuries they had been subject to grave
legal disabilities and to an unfair disbar-

CORPORATION GIFTS AND CAMPAIGN
FUNDS

CORPORATION GIFTS AND CAMPAIGN
FUNDS.
Whether the total Of S14S,OOO contrib
uted from the funds Of the New York
Life to the presidential campaign funds
in 1896 1900 and 1904 could be recov-
cred as misrepresentation from the
fifteen trustees who were concerned in
IL or not their reported decision to re-
store the full amount will have a good
effect.
Such diversions Of trust funds to the
uses Of political parties are not defen-
sible. Situations indeed do arise oc-
casionally involving grave public emer-
gency, aud it is very generally agreed
now, as it was believed by many in 1896,
that such an emergency existed then,
especially perilous to all fixed invest
ments like those Of life policyholders.
But an exception to the obvious rule Of
public policy cannot he granted even in
such emergencies. because if once
granted there is no way i'm which the
practice can he limited TO these cases.
The unacceptable result of opening the
door at all is to let i'm also the selfish cor
pOrate interests which corrupt legisla-
ton and prostitute government. 1t is
simply impossible to dissociate such con-
tributions. no matter how righteous the
immediate purpose may seem to be
when viewed by itself, from ultimate
nrfr h.. ffh
professional lobbyists, bribers and fix
ers" are employed in corporation serv-
ice.
Back of all is the fact that these funds
are trust funds and are in the hands Of
trustees for the exclusive purposes of
life insurance. The trustees cannot
rightly or safely be permitted to divert
them for any other purpose, be it good
or evil. This rule by no means prevents
the individual as citizen from pro-
tecting his interest as pOlicyholder, but
on the contrary tends to enforce upon
him the duty and necessity of asserting
himself in politics. There is no reason
to doubt that i'm 1896 a much larger sum
than was diverted from the funds of the
New York Life could have been secured
by proper methods, easily and promptly,
as voluntary campaign contributions
from it's pOlicyholders severally. That
is the sphere to which all such matters
should be relegated.
To this end the most effective means,
in connection with proper regulations of
law, is complete publicity regarding all
contributions and expenditures of polit-
ical committees. If in the last three
presidential campaigns it had been
known that there would be such pub
location as the Nebraska law requires
probably not a dollar Of these campaign
appropriations Of insurance funds would
have been made by the officers Of the big

one. Of the senators from this state. They
are separate entities, have separate duties,
and in their sphere are as much entitled
to an opinion and to express it as the

ments and comparisons simply to show
that certain alleged republicans are try
ing to use the popularity Of the president
in this state as a weapon against repub-
lican officers but in the case of Senator
Willard they have signally failed. They
brand this one as opposed to the policy
OF the president and that one a tool Of
