"While a public man who is elected
by any party must be true to the poll
cies and principles of his party he must

For after all the members of all parties
are equally American: their iiresides
arc equally sacred; their prosperity
equally desirable. The public man
elected by any party who is not true
to the principles and policies of those
who elect him is dishonest; but such

too narrow for twentieth century

Would Not Choose Manila

When the provision relating to the
naval station at Olongapo, Philippine
islands, was reached the old contro-
versy over the fortifcation of Subig
and Manila bays cropped out. Mr..
Hobson declared that anyone who
would choose between the two would
not choose Manila bay.
The whole question, he said, was
simply one of defense.
I'VE cannot hold Subig bay ten
days. he said. I'VE can hold Manila
bay ninety days"
The only way to hold the islands at
all, he asserted, was to control the sea.
At present the United Stats had only
temporary control. He contended that
any army from Asia could land and
take Subig bay from the rear without
any assistance and then proceed and
carry Manila city and Manila bay.
But" he said, "the lines would be
drawn in. and the army estimates it
could only hold out ninety days"
Pressed by Mr.. Jones of Virginia to
state if he had such information Of

was not authorized to disclose the

Wa-keeney. HANS.

Dear Sir: 1T costs as much
to put on poor paint as good"-a
common saying and true-it
costs much more to put on poor
paint; more gallons.
Poor paint is paint and barytes
or paint and sand or paint and
lime or paint and chalk or paint
and benzine or paint and water;
these are the usual cheats; there
are others.
1t takes more gallons of paint
and a cheat than of honest paint;
and the cost of the labor of paint
ing is so much gallon, one gal
Ion costs as much as another, for
labor.
This is the way to reckon your
costs for this year; but how
about next year?
Paint Devoe, and next year
costs nothing; year after next
the same; the same for several
years.
Paint anything else, and your
costs recur according to what
YOU paint with. Some of the
mixtures wear one year; some
of the mixtures wear one year;
some two; some three.
1t costs twice, three times,
four times, five times. as much
to paint with cheat as to paint
with Devoe.
