TO TEST LINSEED OIL There is nothing that will make tjjaint go wrong on the house more -quickly than poor oil. It is as bad in 'fits ' way as adulterations in the white lead. Petroleum oil chcapeners may detected by placing a drop of the on a black painted surface. If one sees the characteristic iridescence or gSay of colors which kerosene exhibits. fit Is evidence of adulteration. Corn 'and ' fish oil can be detected by the 'cm ell. Adulteration in white lead can best lie discovered by the use of a blow pipe , which National Lead Company will send with instructions free to anyone interested in paint.

If the Republican leaders in Io\\a had been entirely frank they would have said : "We point to the fact that the promise of : four years ago is still unfulfilled , and we make another promise just like it.Ve have no more thought of keeping it than we had then. We fooled the public be fore , and we expect to do so air.iin. " If the people want tariff reform , they must get it from the Democratic party. .Tusi L.ike "rncle Joe" Kt Al. During the month of March the 1'nft press bureau , located at t'olumbu * . Ohio , sent < out , according to the Washington Herald , printed slips bearing these head lines : "Business Hope Lies on Taft , " "Asserts Taft is P cst Candidate , " "P.ig Wall Street House Calls on Financial Interests to Assist in Nomination. * ' Fol lowing are extracts from the Taft circu lar : "Mr. Taft's long record is distinctly against any conclusion that he would con tinue Mr. Roosevelt's methodsHP has displayed brains , ability , good judgment , and , above all , sanity , in the givat and successful accomplishments of his career. We must not lose sight of the fact that there is a temperamental difference in the two men , Roosevelt and Taft. I'.v na ture and by training , as a lawyer and asa judge , Mr. Taft has always manifested thoughtful attitude in his judgment , and great deliberation and cons. natism. in his actions. Neither is it conceivable that mnn of his force of character would be controlled ( , when in the full power of the presidency , by any outside personality. " In its issue of March 0. the Washing ton Herald printed an interview with Gen. Kiefer , a member of Congress , in which he said that he was for Taft Mid did not believe that if elec"d !

Senator Hale calls atir'ition to the fact that this year's appropriation is almost one hundred mill ion dollars , and says that the navy appro priation is increasing also. He reminds the SPU.-UP that the building of the navy is only the bpgSrnim : of the expenditure. "You commit the country to repair and iraintenance. " Iu says , "making necessary ai increasing appropriation , and if you go on WP are going to havp a naval appro priation in three or four yars that will amount to one hundred and fifty mi'lions ' annuallv. " The Senator says that if thi * program is carried out. "we will have an r.rmv costing two hundred millions , and nothisig short of that will satisfy the army. " What lies hack of this demand for a bigrer arasv : i"d a biir.cer navy ? Fear of war. And what causes this fenr of v.ar ? Our imperialistic plans.

Thus each nation is , used to force every other nation into an increase of ar mament and preparation for war. Where i- ; the end ? It can be found only in the extinction of the competing nations. How xlonf ; will the farmers consent to bear the burden of these war-like preparations ? How loin : will the laborint : men submit without protest ? The doctrine that peace can be made secure by this rivalry in mili tary and naval extravagance is as con trary to reason as it is to the spirit of our civilization and to the ideals of Chris tianity. Imperialism is a poison and no limit can be set to the spread of the dis ease until the poison is expelled. The Iowa JoJir. The la rill plunk of ( lie Iowa Republi can platform is the most delightful bit of sarcasm which the present campaiun has produced. It lefnrs to the pledge of tariff reform contained in the State platform of 1)01 ! ) and renews thepledge. . As the pledge fhen made was not carried out a renewal of it is equivalent to a promise the masterly inactivity shown during the present administration will be continued. It weakens the new promise to link it to the old one which is still unfulfilled. Where * The Springfield ( Mass. ) Republican prints this significant editorial : "On which side is the heart of the President in the party struggle in the House of Representatives ? Does he sympathize with the opposition filibn terin to force action on his favorite measures , or with the Republican majority fighting to dump them under a trap-door until the next session ? Which is the President's party , anyhow ? " In its issue of Friday. April . ' ! . the New York World pays jn.st enough attention to The Commoner's oft propounded question to say that it has urged revision of the duties on steel "in order to curb the steel trust and correct the injustice by which it sells its products abroad cheaper than at home ; " also that the World has urged "a drastic corrupt practices acr to pre- \ent the railroads from buying the gov- rnment that is to regulate them. " The World will find it difficult to deceive many of its readers now that the Unlit of publicity is being thrown upon the Pulit zer motives and methods. Let Mr. Pulitzer take his readers into hi.s confidence by telling them of the ex tent of his financial" interest in railroads and in other great corporationscommonly * known as trusts. "Publicity : Publicity ! Publicity I" Mr. Pulitzer with respect to the source of the generous income enjoyed by the owner of the New York World I And wliy not publicity ? Are not the men who read the New York World's fer vid appeals to Democrats in behalf of the "national honor' * and the "safety imd sanity"of the party entitled to know the motive of the man behind the edito rial ? Secretary Taft has already commenced to hedge on the tariff question. In a re cent speech he declared that the Dingley bill had brought great prosperity , but that changed conditions require a modification of schedules. He then proceeded to define tariff revision by saying that -some of the schedules should be raised and others low ered , and concluded with an eulogy of the protective tariff principle. What chnnce is there of any real tariff reduction at the hands of a man who attributes the prosperity which the country has had to the Dingley tariff ? No credit is given to good crops and no credit to an increased volume of currency , but all to a tariff law which places an exorbitant tav on eighty millions of people that a comparatively few may sell manufactured goods at high prices and build up large fortunes. And now to b" told that some of the schedules ought to be raided and others lowered what hope of relief does this give ? , It i bad enough tbe told that the Repub licans will not give any relief now when they have the power to do s . but to be. told that the relief to be given by and by is to be reduced to a minimum by the raising of some of the schedules is even worse. And .vet this is the only kind of tariff reform to be expected from those who spend more time expatiating upon the beauties of the protective principle than they do upon the injustice wrought by the application of that principle. The first step in tariff revision is to revise Congress. lias any one Intely seen anything of the old "home market" theory of the pro tectionists ? A Mr. Fake is a candidate for Congress in New Jersey. If elected he will be welcomed by the majority. Mr. Ilnrriman has just scooped in an other $ . O.OflO,000 on a railroad deal. But Mr. Ilnrriman is "a practical man. " After figuring up his last campaign Congressman Littlefield decided that discretion - cretion is the better part of economy. i r Rhode Island Republicans have declarl ed against tariff revision , and Senator Aldrich was never so surprised in his life. Tp to date a Republican Congress has r failed to enact into law any important fl recommendation made by a Republican President. . I The congressional majority has adopted some rules enabling it to continue its pol icy of doing nothing in the interests of z the people. * G Secretary Taft says our government of the Philippines is purely altruistic. And j r > ow they are using that fine old word to { cover up schemes. , ( Milliners say that despite its size the fc new spring hat can be adjusted in a few f seconds.

FOREST GEOWTH IS INVOLVED. Wherean Maine "Would Place Burden oil "v7ild Lands , New York "Would Exempt Them. tVashington correspondence : Exhaustive study of the forest taxa tion problem as presented by the actual workings of existing laws is to be at tempted for the iirst time by the New Hampshire forestry commission in co operation with the United States for est service. The study will take in the many questions of forest land tax ation and the protection of New Hampshire forests from fires. J. H. Foster of the forest service has been sent from "Washington to make the in vestigations on the ground. Uocatise of its thoroughness. New Hampshire's study is sure to be fol lowed with great interest by New York. Maine , .Michigan , Pennsylvania and other States which find the tar problem a serious check to forest pre servation. Mr. Foster will iind out by painstaking inquiry in different parts of the State and among all classes of citizens how the laws are administer ed , how they are regarded and what their effect is on the lumber industry and on forest preservation. The result will be to provide New Hampshire with a better basis for revising its sys tem of taxing forest lands than any State has ever had , if changes in the present laws are found to be needed. Taxationof , timber land is regarded by oflicers of the forest service as one of the most important matters up for discussion. They believe that upon the right settlement of this question depends - ' pends largely the rapidity with which private owners adopt forestry. Agita tion for a change is taking place along two directly opposite lines for an In crease in the amount of taxes to be paid by wild laud's on the one hand , and on the other for laws which will partly or wholly exempt from taxation reforested lands , or defer the colleb- tion of taxes on the forest crop until it is harvested. Those who urge increasing the * believe this class of property does not pay its just share. Those who advo cate laws to lighten the weight of taxa tion on forest lands in one way or an other maintain that the public welfare is promoted by the preservation of for ests , and that the more heavily they taxed the more nearly certain it la that they will be wiped out or will lose most of their value through destructive lumbering. In Maine and New York proposed changes in existing laws are under dis cussion. In Maine a tax commission appointed by the last legislature i3 about to hold public hearings , and tha report is that it will be asked to recom mend a plan whereby wild lands may be taxed on the same basis as munici pal property , or about 2 per cent an nually. In the New York legislature a bill has been introduced which would tax timber land managed with the ap proval of the forest , lish and game commission at a rate not higher than that for barren in the -same tax district ; , with an additional tax of 3 per cent on the stumpage value of tha timber when it is cut. In Maine the value of standing tim ber would be regarded as a part of the value of the land , and the owner would pay a rising tax as his timber grows more valuable , until he cuts it In the'New York bill the timber is re garded as a growing crop , which , like other growing crops , should be exempt until it is harvested. The New YorU bill seeks to encourage forestry as a means of increasing the wealth of the State ; the Maine plan would discour age it. The New Hampshire study has been undertaken in the belief that it will help solve what is undeniably a knotty probein. A forest taxation law which is both wise and practical Is by no means easy to frame. ALL ABOUND THE GLOBE. Louis Sherry , the New York restau rateur , is being sued by his wife for sep aration.
