Golden Rules.

Here's a short set Of rules for good
painting; good thing to follow:
l. Put on coats enough; two any.
wey, probably three. The first to
protect the wood; the second to pro-
tect the first; the third-it you paint
three-to protect the other two. II
makes one perfecs coat shat lasts
forever, II you take care Of 1t.
2. Take care Of 1t by repainting
often enough TO protect the first
coat.
B, Often enough depends upon the
paint you use. Lead-and.oil goes of
10 three years, on the average; chslks
off; washes off. Devoe lead. and. zinc
paint will probably do well twice az
long; maybe three times; and the
first cost Is less.
In other words, you get about two
to one OF lead-and.oil wear II you use
Devoe lead-and-zinc paint.
Real wisdom Is not simply to know,
but to do what you know. II you

W. ]. Bryan In the Commoner.
Some one has told the Kansas City
Post that Mr.. Bryen will undertake
TO dictate TO the Democratic party
and The Post occupies ccns'dere BILE
space in knocking down the straw
man. The Post says: "The Post,
which does nobstand IN awe or dread

men, protests against theinterierence
OF Mr.. Bryan, or tho dictstion oiany
man with the freedom Of action, free

A Democratic paper ought not to
be so ready TO fasten upon Mr. Bryan
every charge made by his political
opponents. For paper which In
sists that 1t "does not stand In awe
or dread Of the power OF any man"
The Kansas City Post takes fright
very easily. Its two column protest
Is unnecessary. Mr.. Bryan has no
desire to play the role OF dictator.
He has no desire TO interfere with
"the freedom Of action, freedom OF
expression of the Democracy oicoun-
ty, state or nation" On the con-
trary he stands for the perfect free.
dom OF action and the entire freedom
OF expression not only Of the DEM
ocracy Of the nation but the DEM

and not only that but the Democracy

Remocrat In every precinct In the

selection OF candidates and In the
framing Of a platform the freedom
OF action and the freedom Of express
sion" OF she American Democracy
shall not In any way be checked by
the degree Of any one man or OF any
coterie Of men.
Repeatedly Mr.. Bryan has said
that In 1908 the candidate will be
chosen and the platform will be writ

rank and file OF Democrats who will
give expression to their views In pre-
cinct, county and state gatherings
and finally In their national conven-

LETTERS SHOW HAU
LAWYER HOPELESS.
In One DR.. Dietz Sees No Chance of Ac-
quittal in Murder Case-Hoped
for Mercy.

KARLSRUHE, Aug. 2O.-Members Of
the Molitor family have published sew
eral letters intended to break down the
efforts Of Karl Hau's counsel to f41
evidence exculpating him of the charge
of numbering his motherin-law, Frau
MolitOr. The letters throw light upon
the case as regarded by the defense.
Prior to the trial, Dr. Dietz, counsel for
the prisoner, wrote to Hau's wife, April
u, saying: las matters stand today
there is no hope of acquittal."
DR.. Dietz added that he hoped that the
opinion of Prof. Observation-Disclosures of Co
lOgne, the expert in mental diseases,
would set forth that Hau was responsible
for his acts only in diminished degree
and that the jury would render Il verdict
denying that he committed the murder
with generalization.
Another letter, from Prof. AschaefIen-
burger to Hau'S wife, expressed the hope
that expert opinions would tend to show
that the prisoner was mentally unsOund,
adding:
1T would be Il great relief to us if
you could think back upon your husband
with the consciousness that he committed
the awful deed in consequence of mental
disease
DIR. Diet announced during the trial
that Prof Aschaeffenburge wrote to
him that he was fully convinced that
Hau was innocent.
tMrs. Hau committed suicide when she
became convinced her husband was guilty
and thus the letters came into possession
of her family.

a we'll known Chicago Armenian, the
Chicago police think they have a possible
clue of the murderer Of wealthy New

Father Koran Kasperkut, a Chicago
priest, whose body was found in trunk
sn New York.
Curezhin admits having been a mem

murderers.
Two of the fingers Of his right hand
are missing. He told the police they
were blown off in 1904 at Waukegan,
where he had gone to experiment with
explosives which were to be used in the
assassination of the Sultan. He said he
was elected to go to Turkey as the head
of band having in view the murder of
the Sultan, but on account of the acct

DUTCH JUMP ON B0THA
OPPOSE GIVING 81 ,ooo, 900 DIAMOND
TO KING EDWARD.
Transvaal Chief Accused of Pushing Plan
by Which Party Friends Would
Profit Financially.

LONDON. Aug. 20.-The plan of
Premier Botha, of the Transvaal, to pre-
sent the Cullinan diamond to King Ed
ward meets with much criticism both in
England and the Transvaal. The fin
ances of the colony are in bad condition.
and many people think that the expense
is unnecessary.
Moreover, the magnates of the Premier
Diamond Mining company have found
the Cullinan diamond to be a white ele-
plant. There is no market for such
huge stones. The Premier people are
supporters of Gen. Botha's party. and
critics say that if the stone belonged to
the De Beers company, which is an OPP
ponent of Gen. Botha. there would have
been no thought of presenting the dia-
mond to the King, adding that the Botha
party want to gain the credit for pa
triotic act while putting money from the
treasury in the pockets of their friends
at time when the colony can i'll afford
such luxuries.
The controversy places King Edward
in an emba rrassing position.
