LETTER TO c. n. LEFEVRE
SMYRNA, Del.

Dear Sir: Here's a mail-order
paint-there are several such-45
per cent of its solid part is barytes
and whiting, and 35 per cent of it's
oil is benzine and water; the rest is
zinc lead and oil.
Barytes whiting benzine and
water have nothing to do with paint,
except to make more gallons for
victims to buy at SIS gallon put
on.
SIS a gallon put-on will buy the
best paint there is in the world
here's a paint, about half neither
pigment nor oil, imposed on the un-
suspecting.
What is the remedy? What is
the victim to do? Do you favor a
pure-paint law in your State?
North Dakota has lately passed
such a law; it is worth, we pre-
sumo, SIS year to the average
man. What is wanted, of course,
is paint of such strength that 10
gallons will do a 1O-gallon job and
wear long time. Devoe is that
paint. Should counterfeits be put
down by law?
Yours truly

more noisy than others. We con-
cede Judge Hall and DR.. Aswell
a fairly large following over the

they lack in numbers. 1t is prac-

The public is not blind Or dull
of comprehension. The mana
gers Of the Goo Goo league ad-
NIT that DR.. Aswell was qualified
to be United States Senator or FIJI
any one of several other positions,
none of which carry any patron
age, but he was not competent to
become Governor. Whyf The
reason is obvious. Aswell had re-
fused to agree to allow the Hon.
John NJ. Parker to control the
patronage in tn City of New Or
leans, and therefore, he, Aswell
was not to be considered in con-
nection with the governorship. Il
is fair to assume that Candidate
Hall agreed to do what DR.. Aswell
emphatically declined to do. Any
