DID you ever sit around outside
your house on Sunday after
noon, or of an evening, maybe,
and watch the paint, and see it
60, when it ought to be holding
on tight?
Some paints are so poor that you can almost
see them as they dry out, and crumble, and
powder, and blow away.
Why do they do this? Why does this happen?
Something the matter with the materials-too
much lead, maybe, or poor OIL, or not
scientifically ground and mixed-might have
been good materials but not balanced right
for wear.
AT this store we make it our business to KNOW what
paint will wear-because it pays us to handle the kind

done him, but that the confidence of the
public in the honesty and integrity Of its
public servants may be restored and
strengthened and the animus OF attacks
disclosed.
Much has been said regarding his
views on the conservation OF our natural
resources. This 1 shall not discuss at this
time. I believe that It will be shown that
his purposes and objects are substantially
the same as those Of the most radical
conservationist. and the main difference
is but one OF methods. Assuredly there
is room FOR an honest difference Of poinion
as to how our great natural resources can
best be conserved.
II may agree with some Of the views
Of those who criticise the policies, the
methods, and proposals Of the Secretary.
but that ne is honest and patriotic in his
views 1 have not the slightest doubt. One
thing Is sure, we have had several years
of talk about conservation, We have had
platitude piled upon platitude in the most
dramatic way. but no specific or detailed
plans for conservation have been pre-
scented.
The present Secretary Of the Interior.
instead of drawing glitteTing generalities.
has made specific recommendations re-
garding all the important conservation
problems so far as they come within the
jurisdiction of his department. and has
prepared and submitted TO the careful
scrutiny OF the people and OF Congress
legislation that he considers necessary to
effect the object so much desired by ALL
NewIands Notes Exception.
Senator Newlands took exception 10
the statement Of Senator Jones that Sec
retary Baninger was the first TO suggest
comprehensive legislation for the conser-
vation Of natural resources.
For a period Of five years or more"
he declared, the friends OF conserva-
ton have sought to induce Congress to
enact practical measures.
Congress has not acted. It is always
inert. unless driven by public opinions.
am glad that public opinion on this SUBJ
ject is growing so that it will force Con-
gress 10 act"
Senator Newlands declared that he
would regret such an investigation as is
proposed, IL it viii delay the passage OF
legislation. but that no would welcome
il If it induces Congress 10 pass some
conservative legislation.
4 am more intent on action than upon
investigation" declared the Senator from

The Presidents special interstate COM
merce and antitrust message. which was
to have gone to Congress yesterday, and
in which Mr.. Taft has made many
changes. of varying degrees OF inpor-
tance, was given out to the press asso-
citation last evening for distribution.

fees early, and at one time got as far

STATE DEPARTMENT TO DECIDE.

At the request Of the authorities Of the
Isthmain Canal Commission, the State
Department has taken UP the question OF
determining whether or not a quarantine
shall be declared by the Canal Commits
sion against vessels arriving at Panama
from GuayaQuil, Ecuador. There is an
epidemic Of plague there, and the sanitary
officers OF the commission say plague and
yellow fever may also be introduced in
the Canal Zone.
Colombia has already declared a quaran-
tine against Guayaquil, and Chile and
Peru will probably take similar action.
The insanitary conditions at Guayaquil,
it was said, was not the fault of the
government of Ecuador, but are due 10
the merchants of the city who oppose
the necessary sanitary measures.
There Is a large volume Of traffic be-
tween Guayaquil and Panama, and for
this reason the canal sanitary officers
regard II as prudent TO take immediate
steps to protect the health Of the canal
employees.

MINORITY FILES PROTEST.
Mann "Nhlte Slave" Bill Termed
Invasion of States Rights.

! TIE Mann bill. giving the Federal gov
ernment authority to regulate the white
slave traffic, IS an invasion Of the rights
OF the States. according TO a minority re-
port submitted to the House yesterday by
the Democratic members of the Commit
tee ON Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
The report is an elaborate one and quotes
court decisions at length in support Of
the main contention. 1t says in part:
''The real correct analysis Of this bill
is that II proposes to turn over 10 the
Jurisdiction Of Congress, under the pre-
tense and guise of regulating commerce
among the States, the authority to exer-
else police power that is inherent to and
remains with the States. 1t is an attempt
TO exercise police authority by the gen.
eral government over those things sub
ject only to the police authority of the
States.

he made a better showing for his party
than any of the chairmen who immedi-
ately preceded or followed him. In 1904
Mr.. Griggs had some difficulty in securing
sinews OF war with which to conduct the
campaign. and it was William r. Hearst
who came TO his aid. Out Of gratitude

that these insurgents were no longer

Afr. Mckinley said probably the liter

was that it would not be done again.
