PAINTING AT DOVER.
w

W. confess a certain concern in the doings
" of Dover folks and especially in any
matter that has to do with the progress that the
state capital is making. But we are disturbed by
an open letter. that appeared in the Dover
papers recently, addressed to the Hon. James II.
Hughes, one OF the leading citizens OF Dover,
and a man not unknown to political and legal
fame. This letter contains a dissertation on
paint and Mr.. Hughes is asked whether he
favors a pure paint law, and whether he
thinks counterfeit paints should be put down by
law. Then there is an implication in the letter
that some sort of bad paint has been imoosed
upon the unsuspecting and Colonel Hughes is
asked what the remedy is, and what the victim
should do
SO far as we have observed, Mr.. Hughes has
made no reply to the open letter" and there is
no prospect Of a strife of words between him and
his questoner that might make the present con-
troversy between two of our local papers over
anarchy in which each is painting the other in
dark ooors, seem like gentle play. If we were
in Mr.. Hughes place, however, we should no
tify the mpertinent questioner to send along
a big fat fee, and we would tell him what to do.
But the thought fingers in our mind that
Dover may have appointed Commissioners Of
Painting who is to examine and pass uoon all
paint that is to be used in the Improvements now
going on at the state capital. We think Mr..
Hughes is not qualified for that position. It
should be given TO one of the gay coterie OF
Young Doverites who in the years gone by used
to paint the town red--and Mr.. Hughes was
never one OF them.

RAR WOMEN AT HARVARD.

English suffragette leader A young woman
who wished to study law at the law school of
Harvard University, has met with a rebuff. Per-
mission has been refused her. for the new presi-

as such. No women for Harvard, except in the
grand stand seats at the football educational
courses, or over in a special school for them
There arc plenty of other law schools that
would welcome Miss lnez Milholland as a stu

fact that Harvard has thus again made known

Not Like Condensed

Don't think of Van Camps as condensed
milk. for condensed milk is nearly half sugar.
Sugar was the old way of preserving milE
before the days of sterilization.
Condensed milk is so largely sugar that Il
is very expensive. And you can't use It for
cooking because it's too sweet Such un-
is natural milk, preserved by modern meth
DDS.
Nor is Van Camps like other brands Of
evaporated. For this is HoIstein milk, reduced
to the minimum bulk.
Common milk, only partly evaporated, IS
often said to be az good as Van Camps.
But nearly every housewife knows that Il

4 \ proaches a finish it becomes more foul
Two of the candidates for Mayor have been call
ing each other all sorts of names in accordance

The campaign could not be otherwise with Mr..
Hearst as a candidate. To an onlooker it would
seem 10 be campaign OF rascals against ras-
Gals Evidently the Republican nominee. Mr..
Barnard, who has conducted himself in a digni-
fed manner, seems to be out OF place in such
conflict. 1t looks as il his managers had mixed
things up so that he has but slight chance Of
election.
The subject of a vice trust has been injected
into the fight, and Iammany, of course, IS ac-
cused OF being at the head of the vice. Perhaps
it is, for Tammany is an old hand in all sorts
OF crooked things. But If this is true the won
der is why the District Attorneys have not
broken up the "vice trust Tammany has not
had control Of the District Attorneys Office for
many years. The last Tammany occupant was

All this reading about vice must be very en-
tertaining TO New Workers. They stand pre-
eminent in that kind of political discussion.

ernment, OF at least an attempt at good govern
ment, they would elect Mr. Barnard Mayor. but
it was that late prince OF Mugwumps, Mr.

ernment is false assumption People usually

Pure Holstein Milk

Van Camps comes from Holstein COWS
the worlds best breed. Holstein cows arc
robust and eontented They are famous for
their vitality. The milk they give is vastly
better for children than milk from mongreI
cows.
This milk. fresh from the COW, is put into
vacuum. And moderate heat, because Of
the vacuum, throws off the water in steam.
Thus we take out two-thirds of the water,
and the milk that results is 20 per cent solids
% per cent butter fat

Friday. June II. 1909.

IT is difficult to understand the
attitude of Senator Aldrich and the
other members of the Senate FL
nance Committee toward the report
transmitted by the German govern
ment. and intended to show the
cost of production in Germany of
certain articles against which this
country lays protective duties. 1t
is not apparent that the German
government was "impertinent."
nor that it intended to interfere
with legislation in this country, as
these Senators seem to think. The
German Ambassador maintains that
his government was acting in all
good faith and on the supposition
that Congress would desire just
such information in carrying out
the plank of tariff revision laid
down in the Republican platform.
To the lay mind it would seem
that any authentic information on
a subject so diff cult and confused
as the differential in cost of produc-
tion here and abroad would be glad
ly received and seriously considered
making due allowance, of course.
for the element of self-interest in
those who offered such information.
Evidently the Senate leaders do not
see in this way. and when they find
themselves in receipt of too much
knowledge. prefer to suppress it
for 1.-THE good of the cause. AS a
matter of fact the crying need of
the hour is tariff commission
which would supply precise infor-
nation and enable this government
to apply the protective principle
scientifically and equitably. The
tariff issue has ceased to be a party
issue and the sooner the problem
is dealt with scientifically the bet.
ter it will be for the country.

WE have come to new apprecia-
ton of our natural resources.
There is hope that we are coming
also to larger appreciation of our
artificial resources. Public atten.
tion is being drawn in large way
to the amazing fire loss which we
have tolerated in this country for
years. II averages a quarter of a
billion dollars year. Then we
spend over a hundred million dol
lars for fire departments, and other
incidental losses due to the inter-
ruption OF business and the distur-
bance of financial conditions, bring
the total tax up to five hundred
millions year-something like
six dollars per capita. One half of
the fires are due to the carelessness
and recklessness which are part of
the American character. 1t is high
time that the age of concrete, steel,
and brick construction arrived. 1t
is bad enough to cut down the for
ests five times as fast as they can
be replaced. but it is even worse to
make national bonfire out of the
lumber which we have SO ruthlessly
run through the sawmill.
