Out of 18 brands of "White Lead"
recently analyzed by the Government
Agricultural Experiment Station of
North Dakota, 5 contained absolutely
no White Lead, 5 less than 15% of
White Lead, and only J over 90°; of
White Lead.
There is, however, a way to be cer-
tain of the purity and genuineness of
the White Lead you buy, and that is
to insist upon
Collier or Southern
Pure White Lead
bearing the Dutch Boy trade mark.
This trade mark is positive guarantee
of absolutely Pure White Lead made
by the Old Dutch
Process.

I When the female descendants of
the heroea of the old Texaa Republic
1 organised themselves Into a patriot-
ic body to preserve the best tradi-
tions of their gallant ancestors, they
did well. But when, like the organ-
ization they patterned after, they
became possessed of a "vaulting am-
bition which o'er-leapt Itself," and
resulted in the disgraceful scenes
and unseemly bickerings which has
rent the organization in twain, tilled
space for reporters and leaded mat-
ter to the editorial columns of the
State press, with which "to point a
moral und adorn u tale," they did
badly. No doubt there are gentle,
womanly women In this organiza-
tion. as In the D. A. R., who are ca-
pable of servlug the purpose for
which their organization wub creat-
ed, In n quiet, unselfish, and yet ef-
fective manner. And they wince at
the criticisms thus brought against
them Indirectly. But there is no
question but what this disgraceful
state of affairs lias been brought
about largely by the selfish ambition
und vanity of a few, whose greed for
honor is greater than their desire for
service, and whose souls are so nar-
row thut they are Incapable of con-
ceiving an unselfish motive for ac-
tlon. For the welfare of their or-
der, and the honor of their sex they
are concerned not at all; for every
empty honor that will serve to tickle
their vanity, they are willing to
walk over burning ploughsares. Self-
ishness, greed und ambition are not
monopolized by the women, and
never will be, but until the women
learn how to conduct their public
proceedings according to parliament-
ary rules, and in a lawful manner,
casual observers will be Inclined to
credit them with the larger share
of these undesirable commodities.

Mr Kinney, Texan, May 10, IIIO".
Pennsylvania imposes to go uf-
ter the yankee contractors who
mude three and n half millions
profit out of a five and a half mill-
ion state house.
The prosecution of the Moyer-
Haywood people has already cost the
State or Idaho $112.000—and the
end Is not yet. The trial Is Just be-
ginning.
That poem of Clarence Ousley's—
"To Whom it May Concern"—rings
true. It concerns a goodly number
of people, and those will do well to
-note the fact and heed the warning.
We have always been advised to
"lay up something for a rainy day."
The only thing wrong about that ad>-
vice is that It mentions Just one
day. We are having more than that
now.
A great deal Is being said about
the passing of the "soft, sweet,
clinging woman." How about the
decay of the "sturdy oak " Hasn't
that something to do with It? How
can either a woman or a vine
"cling" without something to cllnfi
to? And. anyway. It looks better to
stand upright than to sprawl on the
ground.
Marvin Nichols, In ihe Ft. Worth
Record, sums up the feats of what
he terms "freak legislation" that has
passed In various states this year.
A good deal of it looks more like
' nosey legislators," bent on regulat-
ing a man's private life. A little
more of it—and there will be a
fioodtlde of emigration to Russia
with Ihe hopes of getting a glimpse
of comparative freedom.
There would be a great deal less
of condemnation In the world If we
could and would stop oftener to
make allowance for the other man's
point of view. There isn't anything
particularly criminal In a point of
view, per se. and men cannot always
be held responsible for ihe point of
view they take. C.lve them time to
shift their position, or outgrow It.
The last Is best—but It takes long-
