Tha Poor PrInter Man.

Figures from Washington show that
imports of wood pulp are rapidly increas.
ing and that the import price has jumped
about fifty per cent in the past few years.
Yet Congress was not convinced when
the newspaper men asked Tor reduction
in the tariff that would help them to get
cheaper papar. And that suggests the
significant fact that while in this period
Of high prices the consumer has been
obliged to meet advances at the butch
er's and the bakers and the candleJtiek-
makers, the newspapers have not raised
their rates but are giving the public con-
stantly improving service at the same old
price. Yet, with the prices OF materials
and the wages OF labor constantly in
creasing, somebody has to make up this
difference to protect the advertiser and
subscriber at the old prices. And il is
the publisher who stands this loss in the
middle. But nobody has moved to pass
him a vote OF thanks.-St. Adams Mes

been utterly wasted. And the eontem-
porary will not admit that"
The News has often stated that It be-
lieved that the present state highway
commissioner was making progress NOT
only in building permanent roads nut IN
educating the people up to the adyan-
tages OF good highways.
When it comes to building trunk lines
up ana down the state at one stroke, as
the newspapers favoring a bonding
scheme to raise the money generally pro-
pose, it is an undertaking that no man is In
touch with, and il be was expected to do
this some costly mistakes would be likely
to result.
Furthermore, il too much money was
appropriated there would be tendency
to extravaganza, through the natural
feeling that the state had been so liberal
that it expected more than was really nee
essary. II on the other hand the APP
preparation was too small, the construc-
tion would be more or less hampered, and
when the funds began to run low there
would be less work put into the roads in
order to carry out the expectations OF the
state to cover the ground marked out.
As a matter OF fact the construction OF
an entire chain OF trunk lines over the
state at once would be a problem entirely
different from the present local road
building. This is reason enough why It
should not be jumped into on the stupen-
dous scale that has been proposed from
some quarters.
As the News has observed previously,
it believes point has now been reached,
where much greater progress can be made
in permanent road construction directly
under state supervision, but it must be
carried along conservatiyely, for an at
tempt to do too much at once would prob
ably mean that the desired end would be
rather than hastened. - North

Uncle Sam may not come out of his ex-
perience in Nicaragua with complete cred

checkmated him. Finding it impossible
to retain the presidency himself, ZeIays

riz, as his successor, and the latter has
been accepted by the proper authorities
and taken Office. He is, of course, Zela-
ya's creature, and the latter remains pres
ident in everything but name. What
effect the change will have in the country
does not seem assured. It is apparent
that the Zelayan party still controls the
government and has quite a measure Of
popular support. Even II Zelsya person
ally has lost some Of his strength, the fac
tion now in rebellion still has to hght its
way to supremacy and will be bitterly op-
posed by the other party. II is clear that

to be stood on By one faction in a dinky

the assistant judges count in making up

two assistant judges have outvoted the

The Rutland News, after years of try
ing, has at last caused its city contempor-
airy to take notice Of it, though not di-
rectly. The News printed a fctitiously
signed communication attacking P. W.
Clement for the contemplated Rutland
bank merger. The Herald berated the
News for giving place to such matter,
from a hidden source. The News re-
joined that every newspaper, Including
the Herald, prints articles signed with
nom de plumes, and that the Herald not
ed this one only because it hit that pa
per's owner in tender spot. The News
is mistaken in it's first assertion. Several
Vermont newspapers require that persons
with complaints or grievances that they
wish to air, spites and grudges that they
want to settle, or public criticism that
they want to make through the press
shall sign their own names for publica-
tion so that the reader may know who is
responsible and give credit accordingly,
even as the editor is known. In nine
cases out OF ten this scares the party out
OF his purpose, as he likes to hide his
identity from the public and the persons
assailed. 1t saves the newspaper a lot OF
trouble, and the community is generally
the gamer. "Citizen," "veritas," "Pro
Bono Publico," and the rest are conven-
lent covers for malicious attacks that
would never appear il John Doe had to
sign bis real name under them.
When Senator Dillingham; a few years
ago was appointed chairman OF the immi-
grafton commission selected by Congress
to investigate and report concerning pos
sible means of improving the quality OF
foreigners allowed to enter this country,
1t was not unusual to meet smile, raised
by the suspicion that the Vermont sena-
tor had landed in soft berth, with am
pie opportunity for travel and study at
government expense aud large emolument
for alleged service. Nothing OF the kind
has developed, however. The commits
sion has found plenty to do and has done
it with thoroughness. One of its lines OF
investigation led It to study of the So
called "white slave" traffic-the bringing
in of immigrant girls and women for iru-
moral purposes. The commission has
just made a partial report to Congress
covering its findings and including rec
concentrations, which was presented by
Senator Dillingham; Dec. 10 apd ordered
printed. The revelations contained are
of startling and shocking nature. Few
persons imagined that this nefarious
traffic was as widespread and we'll organ
lied as it is, or that so much real evil re-
suited from it. The government has to
deal here with a matter demanding in
slant attention. II is a most difficult
problem to cope with effectively, yet 1t
must be done. Senator Dillingham; is at
work upon amendments to the federal
immigration laws calculated to reduce the
traffic to the minimum. He is taking the
lead in legislation Of the utmost import

Once upon a time, after a famous ad-
miral bad returned from his worldwide
exploit, he spoke endearinRly of his little
native state and made a triumphal
journey to it. There he was treated like
Roman conqueror. The populace
grovelled in the dust before him. He
placed his foot upon their neck, stuck his
hand in his coat front, threw out his
chest and looked happy-for moment.
Then something appened--nobody knew
what. Like an angry child be fed from
the state and slammed the door behind
him, never to return. The people arose,
brushed of the dust, felt the hot flush Of
humiliation and went back to everyday
duty with deep sense Of almost personal
insult. But we don't do it again, do we
