PAINT DURABILITY.

The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability-and dura-
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint is pure
white lead and linseed oil with or
without tinting materially.
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
felt white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makes
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark is on the packages Of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark was adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.
1t is a guarantee as valuable to the
hOuse-Owner as the education of q
paint expert could be.

AIMED AT FAT FEE JOB.
Senator Booth Proposes to Change
Law on Inspection Of Oil.

Jefferson City-Senator Booth of
Dallas county is preparing a bill which
he believes will pave the way for the
enactment of a statute law two years
from now which will give the state
considerable revenue from coal oil in
spection. His bill requires the coal oil
inspectors to report to the governor
the amount Of fees received for in
speeding oils and from whom. The bill
provides a penalty for failure to make
such a report.
The law now requires that the sew
eral inspectors report to the governor,
but few of them report, and those who
do report make it in such a way that
very little can be gained from them.
The coal oil inspector of st. Louis
makes his report as required by law,
and last year turned into the state
treasury more than $1,000. He is the
only inspector on a salary basis, the
excess of the fees received being
turned into the state treasury.
The other inspectors of the state
keep all the fees they receive. Senator
Booth thiks that his bill will give the
legislature information on which to
frame a bill placing the coal oil in
spectors on salaries and turning the
fees into the state treasury.
The fees is u cents per barrel in
this state. In Nebraska the fees are
10 cents per barrel and the inspection
is done by a chief inspector and sew
eral deputies. The state makes money,
Senator Booth says, and he would in
stall some such system here if the re-
ports show that the state would not
be the loser.
Some persons who claim they know
have told him that the state would
receive $4,000 annually from such a
system of inspection as is now oper-
ated in Nebraska.

In seems incredible that American
courts will recognize that a friend or
relative of the president has a sacro,
sanct character, emitting him to have
the nation prosecute his alleged libel
err, as one guilty of treason. But, if
the courts shall admit such a prosecu-
ton, certain public benefits should re-
suit.
We should get a large amount of
evidence under oath as to what has
become of some of the money already
spent on the Panama canal enterprise.
There have been great difficulties in
finding out what has become of some
$4,000, 900 of the Panama canal ex-
penditure-who got it and what they
gave in exchange for it. There is
widespread suspicion that the nation
was victimized at Panama from the
outset.
And, in view of the fact that a canal
which we were told originally would
cost only $135, 900, 0G0 is expected now
to cost over $500, 900, 900, the fullest
information about Panama expendi-
lures is distinctly desirable.-Chicago

TRUTH COMING OUT
RICH PROTECTED" MANUFAc-
TURERS ARE TALKING.
High Tariff Schedules Admitted by
Their Benefciaries to Be Plain
Robbery-Statement of Truth
at Least ENCOURAGING.

The average American can not fail
to be impressed with the dual atti-
Jude assumed by certain prominent
manufacturers as witnesses before the
ways and means committee.
In n breath, a witness will admit
that as a corporation manager he is
in favor of high tariff. In the next
breath he will admit that as an in
dividual citizen and speaking for the
great body of American consumers
he favors a sweeping reduction in tar
if schedules.
Other manufacturers want the
schedules changed in other lines of
production and left alone, or made
higher, in their own. Still others favor
the entire removal of customs duties
in their W particular line, while
championing stiff schedules on other
manufactured goods.
When the National Association Of
Manufacturers sent Mr.. Miles, chair
man of its tariff committee, as a wit
ness the other day he promptly dis
claimed speaking for other manufac-
turers and could give his individual
opinion only. He favored free steel
and even free farming implements,
which are made by his w company.
He said in effect that farmers were
being robbed by the present tariff
schedule, and were entitled to the re,
duction.
This was almost a bombshell in Mr..
Payne's committee. The idea of a
manufacturer whose corporation
masses wealth from high tariff ia
king the side of American consumers
was contrary to all traditions.
But the truth will come out. Be-
sides Carnegie, who is too rich to
need protection" any more, there are
active manufacturers who get tired
playing the Mr.. Hyde role in tar
if matters. When they think of col
sumers' burdens they become DR.,
Jekylls.

Press Must Be Free,

Jackson, one of the most arbitrary
of American presidents, paid no at
tention to personal attacks in the
press. He accorded a larger liberty
to press comment than any that is
claimed nowadays. Repeated at
tempts have been made in England,
in the American colonies and in the
United States to muzzle the press or
to restrain its freedom, but none has
ever succeeded. On the contrary every
such attempt has reacted against the
authorities making it. The actions
undertaken against Horne, Tooke,
William Corbett and John Wilkes In
England, against John Peter Zenger
in old New York and against others in
later times, all resulted in confirming
and strengthening the liberty of the
press within large and rightful limits.

Elizabeth beckoned from the turn
of the veranda, which ran quite about
the house, and we Joined her, speech
less with admiration. Evidently the
island ended here in a sharp point,
for while on one hand was the ocean,
on the other was water also, but

fortable-looking houses. Just beyond
was the strip Of land we knew to be
the border of the United States.
High above, upon the bluff, stood the
little cottage, commanding an unob-
structed view on every side. There
was an air of coziness about it, de-
serted though it was, which made us
homesick in spite of ourselves. 1t was
built of single, now beautifully gray
and weather-beaten, and had fascinat-
ing latticed windows and overhanging
gables, with an outside chimney of
rough stone. Anything more unlike
the ~clapboard houses of the village
could not be imagined.

explained that he was the caretaker
and came up after each rain to be

SO we followed him eagerly.
II the outside of the cottage was
attractive, the inside was irresistible.
1t consisted of a moderately large liv-
ing room with a stone fireplace, a
small dining room, a smaller kitchen,
three bedrooms, a bath and a little
square entrance hall.
1t was furnished, too. AS Gabrielle
said, modestly, it could not have been
done better had we attended to 1t our
selves. There were large, comfortable
wicker chairs and couches, upholstered
in chintz, chintz hangings, delightful
little tables, and, last, but not least, a
generous supply of the n~ecessaries of
life in the shape of bed and table lin
en-, cooking utensils, table appoint
ments of china and plated ware, and,
in short, everything one could desire.
"Oh!" exclaimed Elizabeth, after ex-
hausting her supply of adjectives,
