Letter to W. N. Taylor,
MADISON, FLA.

Dear Sir: 1t is great thing FOR a
merchant to have the exclusive sale lin
his region. of course) Of anything wan
ted b everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price and make
big profit. The other way is: be fair
and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money house,
a job, year, a lifetime no matter how
Won reckon your costs, except by the
gsllon-Devoe Is the best care-tak, r
and costs east money.
Dr. MT forget that the principal part
IT the cost Of paint is putting it on,
Don't forget that another principal
part Of economy Ia long wear; less gal.
Ions, less cost and long wear.
1t is a great thing TO have the exclu
sive sale Of ponu ar goods, OF goods
that make friends, OF goods that enrich
both buyer and seller. Devoe lie per.
haps only ten per cent better than one
or two others; but ten is u plenty-it's
200 or 300 better than many.
There's many a merchant who hasn't
found-out his goods. 1t doesn't take a
msn long to find out that Devoe is the
Ieast money paint and why, no matter
which side be Is on.
Yours truly.

the Standard Oil Company may have
to pay fines aggregating almost thir-
ty million dollars.
Indictments have been returned in
other districts. If the court at Chi
cago imposes the maximum punish
mcnt. and its action is not overturned
on some technicality i'll the various
appeals that are sure to follow the
defendant will no doubt arrange to fl
nance all possible fines in lump.
We should, i'll that event, expect to
see an issue of Standard Oil Company
Fine Equalization Debentures, to be
secured by a trust indenture which
would provide that, to the price of
every, gallon of kerosene or other
product of petroleum sold by the
company during the life of the deben-
lures, there should be added the sum
of two cents, to be turned over to the
trustees for the debenture holders
and by them held until the amount
was sufficient to pay off and retir.
all outstanding debenrures.
Such debentures would be a first
class security, readily marketable.
For twenty years the Standard Oil
Company has controlled the price Of
petroleum and its products, and today
is unquestionably in position to col
lect from the users of petroleum any
fines that may be assessed against
it-as easily as the hard-coal combine
reimbursed itself for increased wages.

THE STUMBLING-B OF
PEACE.

Notwithstanding the decorating OF
Chevalier Carnegie with the cross OF
the Legion of Honor, we are some
what dubious about the results of the
Peace Congress. The chevalier's de-
coration symbolzcs the whole diff
Guilty Nations may honorably arbi-
tratc anything which affects merely
the well-being of their subjects; but
they must not arbitrate anything that
affects their honor. As with individu-
ais, when a nation begins to talk
about its honor, there's nothing LETT
but fight.
Argument is useless, because honor
has no relation to reason. If, for ex-
ample, Spain had ceased abusing the
Cubans when the United States began
to say she ought, that would have
been an indelible blot upon her honor.
No matter how wise and good an &C
ton may be, how necessary it is, or
how fruitful of human happiness, if
strong nation does it under the slight
est suspicion of compulsion its honor
is gone and it becomes a mere caitiff.
Spain would have been a caitiff il she
had not got herself splenddly and
honorably whipped. Whether the
people of Spain are any happier we do
not pretend to judge.
Under the code of chivalry, honor
does not consist in doing right, but
in the readiness to fight when any
body says you are doing wrong. Civ
ilized individuals have mostly dis
carded this code; but among nations
it still enjoys such sanction that we
are somewhat dubious about the re-
suits of the Peace Congress.

AMERICAS GREATEST MENACE
State Journal.

An Eastern exchange sees in the
foreign immigration at the present
time one of the greatest dangers con-
fronting the United States, and says
truly that it does not take an extra
sense of keen discernment to see that
the low class of immigrants which are
pouring into this country in such
alarming numbers means an early
lowering of the standard of Ameri-
can citizenship.
General Bingham, he New York
police commissioner, declares that in
his opinion the wave of crime that
has been sweeping over that city and
the state of New York of late, is due
to the fact that this government per
mts the scum of Europe to find shell
ter within its doors. The commits.
sioner backs up his statement by
facts. He says, and no one is in
better position to know the inward
facts of these cases than he, that in
every instance where the culprit has
been apprehended by the police he
has proved to be foreigner, usually
unable ~ speak English.

aroused the public in New York

bears out the commissioner theory.
Assaults on defensesss women and
little girls have become so common
i'll many parts of the great city that
the police are at their wits end to
know how to stop it. Plans are now
being considered looking to the eX-
pansion of the police force, and Bing-
ham is striving by every means in his
power to keep his present force up to
its high standard of efficiency.
There can be no doubt Of Bing-
hams theory. The vas+ number of
low caste, illterate immigrants pour
ing into this country in steady
stream is bound to have an i'll effect
on the peace and morality of the
country. Many of these immigrants
are outcasts in their own country, and
the only thing that kept them out OF
the ocean. Others, while they may
not have been actual criminals at
home, as soon as they get out from
under the eyes of the authorities of
their own land who have ruled them
with a rod of iron, fling off all re-
strant and go the limit.
Abroad, if one of these peasants
should be merely impertinent to a
woman of good birth, he would be
subject to imprisonment, and in some
countries to whipping. Here he
finds things different He sees wo-
men of all classes walking the streets,
