Price of Print Paper.

A few days ago we received an invi
tation to attend meeting of the Ma
tional Newspapers Association, made
up of the largest daily newspapers in
the country. The invitation is extend
ed to all members of the Associated
Press. The meeting is to take up the
question of the print situation, which
is becoming so serious as to menace
many newspapers.
Many one-cent newspapers will be
compelled to go to two-cents, and a
large number of the low priced papers
will be compelled to raise the subscrip-
ton rates if the present conditions con-
tinue.
The paper trust has secured control
of the supply to such an extent that it
seems the newspapermen of the country
have got to do something to save them
selves from destruction. Papers are
printed now and delivered to subscribers
at from one-half to two-thirds the act
ual cost. Nothing that people buy that
costs so much to make is sold so cheap
ly. If present conditions continue,
small, struggling papers will be put out
Of business and only the strong papers
will be able to survive.-Adrian Daily

Postal Savings Banks.

1t Is asserted that Postmaster Gen
eral Meyer in his forthcoming re-
port, will make a recommendation to
congress for the establishment of a
postal savings bank system. The
question was agitated in this country
many years ago and received favor
able consideration for the first time
at the hands of Postmaster General
Creswell in 1871. Some progress
was made under Gary, in 1897 and
1898, but Secretary of the Treasury
Gage opposed it, not in principle,
but because he thought legislation of
that character should wait until our
momentary standard was more firm
ly determined. Now, hewever, 1t is
believed the time is ripe for putting
the plan into operation, and If the
Postmaster General receives encour-
agement from President Roosevelt,
the necessary legislation will prob
ably be enacted at the coming ses-
sion of congress.
There Is a strong argument in fav-
or of postal savings banks in that
they accommodate people who do not
patronize the private savings banks.
In the United Kingdom at the cloes
of 1905 there were nearl ten million
depositors and over S760,000,000
in deposits, these figures furnishing
conclusive proof as to the popularity
of the system.
Opposition to the plan comes
chiefly from the small banks, and
the experience of governments which
care for the savings of the poor
shows that it does not interfere to
any extent with the operations of
these banks. People who patronize
the government institutions, almost
without exception are not depositors
in any banks. Their accumulations
are so small that they do not deem it
worth while to place their money in
private depository.
But it is claimed for the postal
savings bank system that it encour-
ages thrift among the poorer class
es, and then when they get to doing
business with the government they
take a keener interest in it's affairs
and make better citizens. This
material" patriotism may not be of
the best, but it is better than none,
and when implanted in one who has
no natural affection for country to
which he is almost a total stranger,
is apt to develop into good citizen.
ship.
But the strongest argument in fav-
or.of the postal savings bank is that
it has given a practical test in nearly
every country Germany and the
United States being the shining ex-
captions, and wherever it has been
established the people regard it as
blessing.-Toledo Blade.

In the earlier days of ga Texas Steer"
while being presented in Boston, Char
lie Hoyt displayed his fondness for
unique advertising and practical joking
at the same time at the South End Base
ball grounds. Early in that season a
Boston newspaper had painted sign
at the extreme end of the center field,
an advertisement stating that any man
who knocked a ball through hole
about as bigas ones two hands would
receive $25. 1t might be done once in
a thousand years. The sign caught
Hoyt's eye and he thought he could i'm
prove upon it. SO he had small hole
cut in the left field fence on the side of
the foul line, through which it would
be about all a man could do to push
ball. To guard against mistakes small
peice of board was nailed behind the
hole. Near it sign read "Any base
ball player who can send ball through
this hole during run of "a Texas Steer
will be given $4,000 by Charlie H. Hoyt:."

One of the Detroit papers stated that
at the recent election the voters of Ing
ham county turned out to "rebuke the
hoggishness of Shiawassee county" in
securing the three nominations of dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
This is an unfair statement No such
feeling existed in the county. 1t was
not the fault of Shiawassee that the
nominations were all placed in that
county, but the result of the apathy of
the Ingham county republicans. Had
there been no other incentive in our
sister county than the nomination CT
delegates, it is quite probable that the
three nominations would have come to
Ingham county. Then Shiawassee
would have felt that that county was
entitled to representation. And she
would be. Ingham county voters
turned out to secure that representa-
ton. Partisanship did not enter the
contest, and the voters were pleased to
honor our worthy citizen, Hon. Lawton
T. Hemans with the election. Had the
convention system been in use, instead
of the primary election farce, no such
misrepresentation would have been
threatened. Mason News. However
it would have appeared better if the
papers of Ingham county
had given the ticket loyal support.

Cardinal Gibbons in an article on
Organized Labor" in the October mum
Der of Putnam's Monthly declares him
self as strongly opposed to strikes and
boycotts as means of settling differ
ences between employers and the en-
ployed, and makes an urgent appeal for
the pacific adjustment of industrial diff
ferences. Regarding strikes he says:
Experience has shown that strikes are
q drastic and at the best a very ques.
tionable remedy for the redress of the
laborer's grievances. They paralyze in
dustrv, they often foment fierce pas
sions and lead to the destruction of
property; and, above all, they result in
infiicting grievous injury on the labor
or himself by keeping him in enforced
idleness, during which time his mind is
clouded by discomfort while brooding
over his situation, and his family not
infrequently suffers from want of the
necessaries of life. The loss inflicted
by strikes on the employers is not much
more than half as great as that which
is sustained by the employed, who can
much less afford to bear it."
He also gives the following advice to
wage earners: Take an active per.
sonal interest in the business of your
employer; be as much concerned about
its prosperity as if it were your own.
And are not your employers affairs in
a measure yours2 For your wages
come from the profits of the concern,
and the more you contribute to its sue
cess the better can he afford to compen-
safe you for your services He will be
impelled by an enlightened self.interest
as Well as by a sense of justice to re-
quite you for your services with gen
erous hand.

The Canal.

The wisdom of the isthmus COM
mission in providing for the publ
cation of authentic news from the
Panama canal is demonstrated by the
first number of the Canal Record.
1T contains the information which
the American people have naturally
been asking for. The correspon-
dence between Colonel Goethals and
the President, published a short time
since, gave tolerably clear idea of
the progress of the canal itself, but
Editor Bishop of the Canal Record
tells us something about the Gatun
dam. 1t has long been recognized by
engineers that the construction of
this dam would be greater feat
than the excavation of the canal
prism, and on this subject the editor
says: ''It is believed that the actual
masonry work can be commenced at
the Gatun locks within eighteen
months. Four steam shovels are
now digging out the site for the
locks, and construction can be begun
after the excavation for the top lock
of the flight is completed. Two steam
shovels are preparing the site for
the erection of the spillway works of
the Gatun dam. Railroad tresles are
being erected across the line that
will mark the inside and outside
boundaries of the big dam, and
from one Of these dirt trains are
now dumping dirt upon the site of
the dam. Preparatory to the install
alton of pipeline dredges, by which
more rapid work on the dam will be
possible, the Chagres river has been
diverted from its main channel and
damned. The pipeline dredges
should be installed by the first of
January, when the work at Gatun
will be as. actively in progress as
that at Culebra."
The area of the lake to be formed
by the great dam will be III square
miles. The surveys have been COM
pleted, and the general features, de-
sign and even details of the locks
to be constructed, have already been
worked out. An additional feature
Of considerable Importance is touch
ed upon in the statement that all
the raw materials for cement making
are found within the canal zone.
This means that the cement for the
dam and locks will be made at the is
thmus II prices for American cement
are not fixed reasonably low.
