After q building has been painted
long enough for a weather test u ~
easy to tell Il the paint used was
made of pure White Lead or not. But
such belated knowledge comes like
locking the barn after the colt IL sto-
len.
What one wants is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before u
and the labor Of putting II on are
paid for
Nature has provided a way IN
which genuine White Lead may be
positively distinguished from adul-
terated or fake White Lead before
you spend cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead Is made from me-
tallic lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself
back into metallic lead. II, however,
It is not genuine White Lead, or II II
contains the slightest trace of adul-
teration, the change will not take
place. Therefore the 'blow-pipe" test
Is an absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every one Interested in paint
ing to make this test of paint before
using 1t, and they guarantee that the
pure White Lead sold under their
dutch Boy Painter" trademark will
always prove absolutely pure under
the sblow-pipe" or any other test.
To make it easy for you to perform
the experiment they will send you
free upon request blow-pipe and
everything necessary for you to make
the test, together with valuable
booklet on paint Address, National

Automobile Mortality.

Consul Frank W Mahan writes from
Nottingham England that the secretary
of the Highways Protection League re-
ports that, according to accounts in the
press, 932 automobile accidents occurred
In Great Britain in 1907, killing 215 per-
sons and injuring 675. For these accidents
and other motor car offenses 2,270 per-
sons were summoned, of whom S,046
were convicted. AS the number If auto
mobiles in use is estimated at 40, GOO, it
would seem that one in abou every
tweney two did something illegal last
year. Kansas City journal.

Panama Canal cannot hope to become
anything more than an expense. II
will not meet expenses and 1t will cost
more than is expected. It will be an
advantage, yes, but an advantage to
European countries and not to us.
The idea of the canal being OF
great value to as in times of warfare.
since our naval forces can be quickly
sent from one coast TO the other. he
says. is utterly absurd. It would take
days for the ships TO get around, and
during that time hostile shells could
have done their work. Mr.. Stevens
believes that it would be a far wiser
plan of defense to put the money that
the canal will cost into q greater
navy.
Mr.. Stevens is not unique. however.
as prophet of evil for ship canals
Forty-odd years ago many British and
other mercantile economists were
cocksure that the Suez Canal could
never pay expenses. Yet for years
the directors of that work have had
periodically to reduce their tolls on
shipping in order to keep their net
yearly profits from exceeding the
twenty-five per cent. permitted by the
charter, and the $20,000,000 worth
of shares which the British Govern
ment purchased in 1875 are now es-
timated to be worth fully $155, 000..
900. There is no objection to Mr.
Stevens keeping con- Pany with those
who went so wide ofsthe Suez mark.

Washington, ID. Cit may not be
reassuring information, but the Wash
lngton officials are none too optimis-
tic about the outcome of the attempt
to drive all the anarchists from the
United States. Those officials whose
duty II is to deal directly with the an
archists cannot talk for publication.
The officials who can issue orders to
immigration inspectors telling them
to be alive to their duty have talked
for publication, but the talk. like
much of the work done, Is impotent.
Some one here has said that anar-
chists are made, not born. This Is
largely true, and anarchists will be
made as long as there are anarchist
teachers who get within touch Of re-
ceptive pupils. This means that as
long as there are anarchists in the
country their ranks will grow daily.
Since the shooting of the priest at
the altar in Denver and the attempted
killing of the chief of police, Shippy,
In Chicago, the Senators and Repre-
sentatives have been busy talking
about immigration measures. but they
have confined their talking largely to
the corridors and cloak rooms. Most
Of them are just as afraid to-day to
pass a restriction bill that means re-
striction as they were before the
shootings gave them sharp excuse for
the passing of an absolutely drastic
measure.
One member, who is not more than
one generation removed from being q
foreigner himself. told your c0rre-
spondent that it wouldn't do to draw
line part way up the continent of
Europe and to say that no one from
below the line should come to this
country. What we ought to do" he
said, sis to draw line down the mid
die Of the Atlantic Ocean and another
one down the middle of the Pacific
Ocean, and to say no one shall cross. :"
Restriction Problem Difficult.
When a New York Representative,
n the floor Of the House, spoke in
dvocacy Ola really restrictive immi-
ration measure, several Representa-
Ives whose constituents are largely
southern Europeans, at once began
missionary work. They told the other
members what wrong it would be to
punish the many because of the fall
ings of the few, and they did not neg
lect to touch on the matter of power,
the balance of power, of course, which
the men coming from some of the
European countries hold at the polls
in America.
One member, an Illinois man, told
a colleague who was urging no action,
that it would be far better for him
and for his people in the future to
have all immigration stopped from
their native countries for a series ef
years, until the United States had op-
portunity to assimilate those that
were here to that point of assimila-
ton which means the dropping of n.y.
