BUYING PAINT BLlNDLY.

Many people look upon paint buy
ing as lottery and so it is, the way
they do it. 1t is not necessarily so,
however. Pure White Lead and lin
seed oil are the essential elements of
good paint Adulterants in white
lead can be easily found by the use of
blowpipe Authorizations in linseed
oil can be detected with a fair degree
of certainty. See that these two ele-
ments are pure and properly put on
and the paint will stay put.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, will
send blowpipe outfit and instruc-
tions for testing both white lead and
linseed oil, on request.

LODGE FOR EXCLUSION.
Says People of Pacific Coast Are
Right in Matter

BOSTON. March 21.-Discussing "Immi-
grafton before the City Club last night,
Senator Lodge mentioned the japanese
and Chinese questions. He said.

determine who shall come into this coun-
try and on what terms is absolute. No
one has a right to come into the United
States, or become part of its citizenship.
except by permission of the people OF the
United States.
I'VE have heard a great deal lately
about japanese immigration, but it is not
a subject which ought to lead or which
will lead to any Ill feeling between the two
countries. Japan does not expect. and No
nation can expect, that she should have
the right to force her people on another
nation, and there is no more cause for
offense in the desire of our people in the
western states to exclude Japanese immi-
grants than there is in the japanese
edicts which now exclude our working
people from Japan.
moreover, the sentiment of our people
is not peculiar to the United States 1t is
if anything, more fervent in British Co
lumbia than in California. The people OF
Austria exclude the Chinese just as We
do, and 1t may as well be frankly stated
that the white race will not permit Asiatic
labor to compete with their own In their
own countries.

our labor could not long survive as we
desire it to exist. and therefore by an
overmastering instinct our people of the
west are determined not to admit ASlatlc
labor TO this country. whether 1t Is

CAL Vim DEMAREST
A RECORD-BREAKER

Calvin Demarest, the young Chicago
billiard player, whose playing in the anna
teur championship tourney now in prog
ress in Chicago has been the sensation of
the amateur billiard world, never handled
billiard cue until four years ago, when
he was sixteen years of age.
Tom Foley, the veteran Chicago room
keeper was the first to notice the lad.
At Foley's suggestion Prof. Perkins. a
billiard instructor. took Demarest as a
pupil and in a few months the youngster
was winning Chicago tournaments.
From a winner OF class Journeys he de-
veloped rapidly until he demonstrated in
practice matches that he was a better
player than Charles F. Conkling of Chi
cago, who formerly held the amateur title
and has a defeat of Wilson Foss to his
credit.
Two years ago Demarest entered the
championship y tournament and finished
third to J. Ferd Poggenburg and Charles
F. Gardner. who tied for the lead. De-
marest improved much during the sue

BUSY DAYS AT
THE BENNING TRACK

The temperature was mild and pleas
ant yesterday and this morning and the
going at Benning was good. The work
of the horses was accordingly brisk, and
hundreds Of citizens were at the track
The fact that the steeplechase field was
thrown open yesterday attracted many
townsmen. Steeplechasing is very popu-
lar here. Persons who would not ordi-
narily attend the races go out to Benning
to see the jumpers do their stunts.
The first Benning handicap candidate,
Greene. who is to bear the colors Of DR..
Thomas Cassidy of Long Island City, next
Monday, galloped six furlongs in 1.19 %.
Greene worked with the Splinter Right
and True, and his move was not especially
impressive. He tailed off a bit at the
end. Thomas McCreery was not cast
down over it, however. Greene is a pretty
sluggish horse He will not work well
unless he has a running mate capable of
keeping with him from start to finish.
Right and True was unequal to that
task. Fast as he is. the son of Tristan
could not keep pace with the son of
Greenan and Tongese for even half a
mile.
Reidmoore, an Ornament horse belong
ing to the stable of William Shields.

though he does not expect the handsome
chestnut to do a great deal at three-quar-

mile al least, and he likes mile and a
furlong better than he does a mile
Servile galloped three-quarters this
morning in LII 3-5. He is In excellent

he took all the prizes in sight-the high
run with 10. the single average with
81 3-11 and the grand average with

In the present tournament Demarest has
twice beaten the high run record and has
beaten the high average. Early in the
week he ran 16S and Thursday night
playing with Poggenburg. he licked OFF
10 caroms without a miss.
When Demarest entered the tourney
against the veteran amateurs last year ii
was claimed they would be too foxy for
him, but he never failed to meet each
situation with the skill of a veteran.
Experts have predicted that Demarest
cannot long remain an amateur. because
he has outstripped the men in the front
rank who have been playing the game for
many years. AS high an authority as
George Slosson has said that the Chicago
boy has the qualities that combine to
make an eminent expert.
Personally Demarest is much on the or
