Printers and Publishers Meet.

Last Saturday evening there was I
meeting of the fraternity of printers a
the Office of the Bingham County Demo
clat for the purpose of "getting acquain
ted" and for the purpose of furtherine
the interests of the printers and the
community in general.
| w. E. Smith was made temporary
chairman and L. A. Bum secretary, and
when the purpose of the meeting was
discussed it sounds something like this
"The people of Blackfoot, as class, have
been loyal to their printers and publish
ers, and condition exists in the print
ing business which makes it the duty of
the printers to let the public know some
thing of their system of doing business,
if they have system. The varying
scale of prices for stock causes the bust
ness man to 60 out to the different
shops with each order to "see what he
can do" before placing his order This
makes waste of time for all concerned
and makes demand for scale of prices
which shall be fixed and unchanged, ex
cept as the cost of stock changes.
The result of dickering and bidding
has tendency to induce printers to use
poorer stock in order to make legitimate
profits, and in justice to printers and
patrons, scale should be fixed which
shall be competitive as compared with
prices charged in other places, SO that
persons wanting work done can send in
orders to any house they like, and know
what will be the quality and the price
without taking up valuable time to 60
to the printer to make bargain about
it. On making a review of prices charged
for staple articles it was found that in
some cases the prices were too low and
in Others too high-doing injustice to
the printer in one case and to the patron
in the other, giving him reason to send
bis work out of town to have it done.
The press owes duty to the commun-
ity and united press can more fully and
more effectually discharge these duties
than individuals can by working indie
pendently, and the danger of printers
unions taking advantage Of employers
or of employers unions taking advantage
of their patrons, is removed while other
sources of supplies can be reached daily
by swift trains, and the course for each
class to adopt is to unite in doing their
whole duty to their patrons. The pat
rons will do their part when they get
the proper service and know that they
are not going to be robbed.
There is some work wasted every week
in Blachfoot printing houses which
might be saved by careful cooperation.
The public would get better service and
printers come nearer making profit.
Cooperation among printers should
not be more difficult to maintain than

do not know whether there is any credence
In the reported boycott, but recalling tho
attitude OF Minister WI, l am disposed to
think that the matter is being en- gineered by
him most likely in the way Of diplomatic
threat as to what China may and can do.
The first I saw of 1t was press despatch
from San Francisco In THE Sun Of the 18th

Commerce had declared a boycott on American
goods.
talked frequently to Minister w. while
this bill 1.-THE act OF l9O2l was under consdera-
tion and his position was just and reasonable.
He did not expect us to relax our restrictions
as to coole imm grafton, but contended that
under our treaty merchants. students and
persons Of financial and social standing from
China should hav the same right of coming
and going as similar classes from other coun-
tries. ! called the attention of the President
to this and said that Il did not see how We
could long expect to trade or do business
with China on any other basis. How can wa
hope to enjoy the benefit of the most favored
nation clause" in any agreement with China,
when we refuse to accord her the same treat
ment she receives from every other nation.
and which We accord to every other nation?

TO me only Just that II should declare this policy
by law and lay down a rule which the commission
can easily follow"
This declaration was repeated in the
same words when the question came
before the public three weeks ago. Com
pare it with the Cincinnati speech Of
Mr.. TAFT on Friday last, and compare
it, also, with the Commercial Appeals
fraudulent description of the position OF
the Administration prior to the alleged
panic and retreat of the President and
Secretary, occasioned by the cutlery
against the purchase of canal supplies
at the prices ruling in foreign markets.
We recall no recent performance Of
unsatisfactory journalism filter for
chastisement than this pretense Of the
Memphis newspaper Of convicting Secre-
tary TAFT out of his own mouth. If the
Commercial Appeal knows that Mr..
TAFT is saying now just what he has
said all along the element of conscious
dishonesty appears in it's attack on him.
If it does not know what the Secretary's
previous position has been regarding the
responsibility and power of Congress it
has no business to be writing about him
and the question.

which they can now advance would prove
irresistible If the Gar could be credited
with clarity Of vision and common sense.
How is it practicable. we can imagine
such man as Mr.. WITTE inquiring, for
Russia to continue the war? She has
no ships; nor can she acquire any for
years to come. She will soon have no
soldiers in Manchuria. unless LIME
WITCH shall fare very much better than
his predecessor. She still retains Vladi-
vostok, and Herewith foothold on the
Pacific; but how long can that naval
fortress escape the fate Of Port Arthur?
Only with the utmost difficulty could she
borrow little money from European
neighbors after her defeat at Mukden;
how can she count on any further loans
in the face of Unbelievable disaster?
1t is true, as Mr.. WITTE would adj
nit, that Russia has large amount OF
gold in her vaults, but most of this is
pledged for the redemption Of her cur
rency, and this nest egg ought to be
reserved for some terrible emergency,
such as an actual invasion Of European
Russia. 1t may be said that ANY high
spirited nation would rather spend
money for fighting than for ransom
Such a preference would no doubt be
justified If there we're any solid ground
for hope Of change Of fortune. For all
clear sighted Russians, however, hope
is extinct. The only outcome Of delay
would be to augment the peouniary in
demnity which is now certain to be ex-
acted. but which, if at once agreed to,
could be procured by foreign loans on
comparatively easy terms. Let Russia
wait six months, and she will have to
borrow far more and pay much moro
dearly for it, to say nothing Of the ter
ritorial dsuemberment to which she
would have to submit.
Never was it more plainly the duty Of
a Government to agree quickly with it's
enemy lest worse should befall it. 1t is
the curse however, of a despot ridden
people that at tragioal conjuncture Its
vital interests are staked on the blind
ness, the stupidity or vacillation of a
single human being.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir. Tho
news to day OF Japan's practical annihnatlon

none the less welcome. The peace at any

had come when the worlds peace could only

But why is 1t that Japan has been able to
win victory after victory on sea and on land!
Why Is 1t that nothing seems impossible for her
to face and overcome? Why is 1t that her
spirit never falters. her arm never tires. and
her plans never miscarry though she meets
obstacle after obstacle that could not be
foreseen?
Some may say: "Oh, she has heavier guns.
and more of them" That is hardly so. be-
cause when Port Arthur was captured Rus

Ia the Lesson SO Clear?

Il should think" said Mr.. ROOSEVELT
IN BROOKLYN on Decoration Day, that
any man, looking at what is happening
and has happened abroad and in our
own history during the last few years
must indeed be blind if he'cannot read
that lesson clearly" He referred more
particularly to the great naval victory
in the Corean Strait. Concerning that
momentous engagement, however, the
whole world is blind" 1t Cannot read
that lesson clearly for the particulars
are still unknown and probably will be
unknown in their fulness until the war
IL over.
Whether the lesson taught is that the
great navies Of the world as they now
are in their prime elements have demon
strated finally their effectiveness in actual
war, or the adoption of new policy of
construction or of distribution OF naval
power is suggested, no one can yet tell,
Was ToGos victory won by gun fire
primarily or was it due moro directly
to torpedoes, mines and submarines?
The contest In the Corean Strait was
practically the first great engagement
between the latest type of modern bat
tleships. What was the result? We only
know that almost the entire battleship
squadron of the Russians was annihi-
lated, destroyed or captured, and that
tho work of destruction was accom-
plished rapidly; yet of ToGo's ships only
three torpedo boats were lost.
Is the man blind if he cannot read
that lesson clearly? What is the lesson?
Is he not rather blind to the necessity
of obtaining the precise causes of so
astounding result when he jumps to
the conclusion that he has read that
lesson clearly?
Let us wait for all the facts before we
undertake to render judgment.
