The Smile.

The world is beginning to be-
lieve in the smile. We are be-
ginning to realize thai a smile
helps wonderfully.
A glimpse at the photographs
of Daniel Webster, Henry Clay,
or any other great statesman Of
former days shows an intelligent
face but without the least trace
Of a smile Not so to day. Ninty-
nine out OF a hundred photos Of
Taft show his irristable smile
and those who have seen him say
that the real thing is just as pic
tured. The style OF smiling has
become so fixed that even Bryan,
the great statesman Of Democ-
racy has caught the fever. A
comparison of photos in his nam
erous former campaiges with the
present ones show the remark
able change. Before this year
his pictures looked as if he had
never smiled in his life; to. day he
has followed Taft's lead and is
being photographed with a broad
grin on his face.
Hughes, Of New York, is an.
other man with whom the smile
seems natural, and Beyeridge-
well no man could hear him talk
a minute without smiling.
II is certainly a great thing for
the country 10 have these pro.
minent men scattering smiles

In the Paper Trade Journal Mr.. Lyman
In the article in question denied the exist
ence of q combination and courted a full
investigation. He also said the price in
1908. as compared with 1907. would show
an increase. and that that increase was
on account OF increased cost of labor and
raw material Asked for a statement re-
garding the Canadian mills. Mr.. Norris
said they were running at this time be-
cause American mills had combined to
maintain prices at such a high figure
that Canadian mills could pay So a ton in
freight and still undersell the price which
the combination had fixed as it's selling
basis
Discussing the question of improved
machinery as having q bearing on the
cost of production, Mr.. Norris said that
ten years ago paper rolls were ITO inches
wide, whereas they now run $50 inches:
they ran lab feet minute, but now run
$50 to G12 fest a minute; ten years aeo
the capacity was 20 to 25 tons a day Der
machine, whereas now they make from
40 to 20 tons q day. IAN Of which," he
said, "by reason of the increased output
per machine tends to reduce the labor
cost per ton OF paper produced with sub
stantially the same crew." So that. he
contended. 1t may be possible for the ma
per company to pay 33 per cent more to
skilled labor for operating paper ma
chine and yet. II 1t produced double the

that It was for the purpose of showing
that the newspapers of the country are

consolidation and high finance and that
the conditions are not normal, and that
the newspapers should not be asked to
bear the burdens. imposed upon a corpo-
ration as a result of mistakes it makes in
undertaking to merge thirty or more mills

Mr.. Mann protested that the answer
was too general and inquired If 1t was for

they are entitled to or for the purpose Of
showing that expenditures Of their plants

pose of showing that they are attempting

Mann. Mr.. Norris said it did not rest upon
Congress to pailiate or make good the mis-
takes of gentlemen who consolidate mills.

Mr.. Mann insisted that there was no

discrimination in favor of the mills within
the limits of the United States.

Mr. Sims remarked that from the way
he looked at the question tariff duty

Mr. Miller the acting chairman, sara

Reading from a paper journal recent
statement by Mr.. COwles justifying the

"Your contention is" inquired Mr..

a labor union. whereby 1t fixed the three
tour system. Mr. Norris said he would
submit data as to percentages and as to
savings (which will completely upset the
claim made by Mr.. Cowles as to the labor
cost having been increased 80 per cent
and also the implication in Mr.. Lyman's
statement that the labor cost has in
creased 33 per cent
Answering a query by Mr.. Sims as to
where the question Of freight came in
Mr.. Norris said that Mr., Dillon was the
only one who had brought up the freight
question. Messrs. Lyman and Cowles. he
said, based the increases in price entirely
on labor and the shortage of wood.
Dillon he declared has a special
reason for knowing about freight rates
having been raised because he assisted
in raising them"
Questioned by members of the commit
tee about the tariff on wood pulp Mr..
Norris replied that he had no doubt the
papermakers would furnish data ABOUT
that.
Mr.. Norris then read extracts from
the Paper Trade Journal, of January %.
1893, which he said purpcrted to give
reports OF meetings. of various paper
groups. to show that there had been no
change In prices.
