MAR."8... .1912 Most satisfactorily is the Stanley committee in Congress vindicating its existence. One expert's report alone is well worth all the expense the com mitteo has incurred.- Onr allusion is to the report of Faiqnbar J. MoKae. the aocoontant, whose report was pub lished last week.' From this report it appears that in the organization of the steel trast J. P. Morgan's banking house raked in proQts to the tune of nearly sevonty million dollars, and that the trust itself has in tbo past nine years gobbled up net proBts to the amontit of more than one tlionsand millions. These ptofltH wore made on steel, andinoiderto make tbem the trnst got 113 a ton net profit, wbiob the users of steel had to pay. They had to pay that exorbitant proBt because the proteotiretaiil bad sbnt oil all the trust's foreign competitors. And did the workingmon employed by the steel trnst get anything exorbitant in the way of wages? Well, if they should say, "Search osl" would yon think it necessary to do so? . 'Women do not want it," said a de bater at Hampton, Iowa, who was opposing woman suffrage. Then he asked every woman in the boose who would use the vote if she had it, to rise; every woman rose and the debate ended. Teddy may hava bis hat io the ring tut be has'nt got the sole of his pants in the chair not yet. Ibe federal agricultural department has perfumed yeoman service in warning the farmer against the faker. That work has been supplemented by a number of the states. It is one of the perennial duties with which the agricultural . department charges its conscience to expose the fraud of "mummy" wheat, that anoient deceit wbiob has so long fooled American farmers; the "Rnssian" holly, whioh proved to be Usage orange, tbo Japan eso oherry wbiob was the sandhill plum of Michigan ahoief, the soarlet eggplant which isn't worth while, the Swiss chard beet, claimed us a heavenly conitination of beet and asparagus those are fakes more or less known. But there are worse ones, downright crooked, as the adulteration of seed, tho sale of weed seed bb gen uino material, the mixiug of the poi sonous cookie iu patent obickeu feeds and the palwiug oil of old plunt forms as new or foreign. Caste In Music. "Sometimes it is n disadvantage to have a musician with a reputation at the head of a hotel orchestra," said a hotel manager. "We found this out not long ago, when people from the middle west, who are among our best patrons, wanted our orchestra to play at a wedding In which they were in terested and which took place in a private house. As the company got a little warmed up they decided they would have some dancing, so the host ess asked the orchestra leader to play. Would he? Not on your life. He was an artist, he was, and it was not his business to descend to playing for dances. Tho result was that one of the guests had to play the piano, and we almost lost the trade of the family we were trying to be especially nice to."-New York Sun. . n . ' Professional Heine Mad Goethe Smile. When I visited Goethe, in Weimar, and stood before him, I involuntarily glanced at bis side to see whether the eagle was not there with the lightning in his beak. I was nearly speaking Greek to him; but, as I observed that he understood German, I stated to him In Gcmnn that the plums on the road between Jena and Weimar were very good. I had for so many long winter nights thought over what lofty and pro found things 1 would sny to Goethe if ever I saw him. And when I saw him at last I said to him that thp Saxon plums were very good! And Goethe smiled. Ilelnrleli Heine. "Itelsebllder. There is n good deal In putting a thing nicely. A prisoner was being sentenced at the assizes the other day. "You have a pleusant-home and a bright fireside with happy children sit-' ting uround It, haven't youV" said the Judge. "Yes, sir," snld the prisoner, who thought ho saw n way out of the diffi culty. "Well." snld the Judge. "If the happy children sit around the cheerful fire side until you return they will tay there lust two months. " An exobange otsorves that the mul tiplioity of conventions of nil kinds has beoome well uigh or quite a bur den. It tbe avnrago mail wore to at tend one half of those gatherings to which he la invited in the course of a year he would have but liltlo time loft for anything olso aud would be decidedly poorer iu puree Iu truth this matter of conventions is overdoue. Every society great or small must have its convention or several of tbem in tbe couibo of a yoar. WLile iu many casus suoh meetings are of value, probably with most of them it means id) expenditure of time, money and eu ergy that could bo more profitably utilized in other ways for the beuellt of tho cause in whose interest they are held. It is noteworthy thut the Cen tral Passenger Association favors the abolition of speoial rates for dele gate! to conventions. To effect a state wide pnllioity loioe, Gov Hay has created the Pro gress aud Prosperity Committee of the State of Washington. It is modeled along tbe lines of u similar orgauizn tion eupported by the Now Scuttle Chamber of Coinmoroe. Of the com mittee, tbe governors' proclamation saya "It shall te composed of two momters from ouoh regularly organ ized oommeroial body iu tbe state aud its duty shall le to keep Washlugtoa lu tho front rank of progress and to iu eure to tte state its full ei'are of pros petlty, wbiob will come to tbo I'uoiflo Coast with tho oueuicg of the Pau amuCauul." With tho depletion of the Webloru stook ranges, it is interesting to note that a group of American and Can adian capitalists will shortly estab lish iu Brazil tho largest beef produo ing plant in the world. The syndioate has bought 9,000,000 acres of laud of the Brazilian government ou wbiob cattle can range tbe year around with out dunger from freezing or storms. The project will be starttd with the largest number of cattle it is possible to buy and its capacity is placed at C00.000 bead.

If you stop to figure out where the true economy in paint buying comes, you'll soon see that the best paint is cheapest. Two-thirds the cost of paint ing is the labor. It costs just as much to put on poor paint as it does good paint- mc-e in fact because the poor paint doesn't work so easily. But the poor paint won't last as long ; it makes you repaint sooner. Even the apparent saving in cost per gallon is eater up by the" fact that it takes more gallons of the low priced paint The truest economy is good prepared paint. The truest prepared paint is THE $HERWIN'WlUIAM$ PAIMT.
