One of the very best papers that reaches THE NEWS exchange table is Goodwin's Weekly, of Salt Lake The Christmas number of the Weekly is splendid paper. It is handsomely illustrated, the articles rmbrace a write up of the cities, towns. and mining camps of the inter mountain region, besides sto ries and anecdotes of distinctively western favor. Judge Goodwin, it's able editor, is one of the best known journalists. in the west, and under his editorial control the paprr has taken front rank with the best publications in the United States
 The Diamond press on which THE NEWS is printed has been out of order for some time, and almost every man in Williams who claimed to know anything about machinery was given a chance to exercise his mechanical ability on the aforesaid press; but nore of them could inn prove matters. This week Amos Adams tackled the job. and now the press does better work than it did at any time since leaving the factory and runs almost as lightly as a sewng machine. Amos is right there with the goods when il comes to doctoring a press.
 THE NEWS has been informed by a gentleman recently arrived from the coast that Fred Wolfe and Will Miller, who are at present in Los Angeles, intend taking trip around the world. starting about the lst of January. The young men have amassed a considera ble bank roll by their ability to pick the winners at the various race tracks, and they propose to get rid of part of their surplus cash by expending it in visiting the princi- pal cities of the globe.
 Jacob Caufman returned to the city last Friday evening from his stock ranch near Seligman, where he has been for the past six weeks Since his return Mir. Caufman has been busy arranging his business affairs here preparatory to making his home permanently y at the ranch, where he can look after his stock interests more closely. MT. and Mrs Caufman expect to leave for r their new home about Jan. l.

 About the finest display of posta cards ever brought to Williams can now be seen at the Parlor Barbe, Shop cigar stand.

Helping the Farmer.
Washington Post.)

The commission appointed by the
President to investigate the conditions
surrounding farm life in this country
will meet in Washington next week
1t is reported that many letters have
been received already, pointing out
some of the handicapS under which
farmers labor and suggesting more
or less novel remedies by legislation
and otherwise. Among the farmers
grievances are bad roads, excessive
charges by middlemen, poor educa-
tional facilities, and scarcity of COM
petent labor. Doubtless a few more
additional drawbacks to perfect farm
life will come to fight as the commits
sion pursues its inquiries.
The field of investigation regard
ing farm conditions is practically
boundless. The commissio ncould have
spent years in gathering information
and devising improvements, without
exhausting the possibilities of its
task. The ramifications of the subject
are innumerable, touching great mat
ters in transportation, immigration,
legislation and sociology. The COM
mission, in the hope of gathering in
formation that will be useful in de-
filming the proper scope of the gov
ernment's activities in relation to
agriculture is doing this work
The paternalism involved in the
plan to improve farm life by the gov
eminent has not escaped criticism,
but this is somewhat belated
now. The government assumed
a paternal attitude toward farming
long ago. The question now is how
far it shall go, not whether it shall
make a speciality of improving farm
conditions. Where shall the line be
drawn? 1t is right to assist farmers
to procure good seed, improved stock.
and protection from insect pests, and
wrong to assist them to obtain salts
factory domestic and farm labor? If
it is proper to teach farmers better
methods of farming, why is it impro-
per to teach the farmers children
The government has not tried to do
the work of the States in building good
farm roads. but it has done many
other things which might have been
left to individual or State initiative.
Little objection has been made to this
paternalism. and probably the States
would be glad TO surrender more of
their rights in exchange for good
sized congressional appropriations.
