AND PAPER GOES YET HIGHER.

Tn the mail of September i2, Tues day of this week, The Star received notice from leading paper house that temporarily the price for print paper will be : cents a pound, but that this may be raised any day.
 This means that the white paper on which The Star is printed is at the present market price, almost three times what is was year ago
 At the same time the advance in printers ink is not quite 100 per cent.
 To make the matter just "a little clearer, The Star has usually bought it's print paper in 20,00o pound lots. This order, at usual prices. would have cost sis0 with freight and drayage added. At the present price this would be si,i00.
 With such a situation, The Star and every worthy paper under like circumstances. must use every pos- sible economy and have the best support from its patrons.
 Another heavy burden for most papers k it's delinquent list of sub- seribers, those who are in arrears If you are one of these, and you can tell from the date opposite your name. come n as soon as you car and do your part.
 Remember, it is cash, not yoqr in tentions to pay, that keepAi th' wheels going around.

MERELY COMMENT

There is some hope that the poIit-
ical epidemic will begin to subside
after Tuesday and that many Of the
nuts and bugs will begin to live nor
NAL lives again.
Judging from what the rival condi-
dates say of one another, most Of
them ought to be in Jail.
The object of many a reformer in
trying to reform others is really to
reform himself into soft job.
If that rotten phone deal is off it's
a good thing for Chicago. 1t smelled
worse than the stockyards.
If JaIey Loeb tries to get" Shoop
he'll make Shoop popular. It indi-
Gates that there is more to Shoop
than some of the friends Of Ella
Flagg Young thought there was.
You can't tell today what the peo-
pie will do at a primary tomorrow.
Chicago folks don't fall for newspa-
per orders as easily as they used to.
Jim Mann evidently doesn't take
Parson BOynton seriously. Jim
wouldn't even come home to fix up
his fences. At that. better have a
reactionary like Mann in Congress
than preacher politician.
Frank Smith is evidently coming
down the home stretch in burst Of
speed that has scared both Lowden
and. Hull.
Clifford Pinchot has come out for
Hughes, but Wen bet big, red apple
that Amos Pinchot doesn't follow
T. R. into the camp of the Old Guard
and there's more real fight in
Amos than in Clifford.
In the meantime, Ida Tarbell says
Wilson is a real progressive and is
out for him strong. Likewise our old
friend, Tom Edison.
Looks like a nonpartisan election
after all. Political Independence is
popular. Party lines dim,

SOUTH AMERICANS ATTACK
BRITISH BLACKLIST
Buenos Aires, Sept. 11-The great
est demonstration against the new
British blacklist staged in any coun-
try attracted an immense crowd to
the Plaza Congreso Sunday after
noon.
The plaza was packed. Ten polit-
ical and patriotic organizations par
ticipated in the demonstration, but
their members were outnUmbered by
the great thropg of business men and
their employees who gathered to pro-
test against the blacklist.
They accused the British of at
tempting to break down the whole
structure of international law and de-
clared that no neutral nation should
submit to the thrOttIing of its own
trade by any belligerent.y
The retaliatory legislation passed
by the United States congress has
greatly strengthened the hand of the
opponents Of the British blacklist
here. In demanding anti-blacklist
legislation at the Sunday demonstra-
ton several speakers referred to the
stand taken by the United States.

John Adams a Hard Loser.

John Adams, second president OF
the United States, was not a good
loser. He wanted another term, and
worked hard for 1t. None OF the can
didates received a majority Of the
electoral votes, and the election was
thrown into the house of representa-
tives. But Adams had no choice
there, for he was third in the race,
and only the two having the highest
number Of electoral votes could be
voted for. Thus the choice lay be-
tween Jefferson and Burr, and Jeffer-
son won. Adams was very much dis
gruntled, and did everything in his
power to make things unpleasant for
his successor. He filled every vacant
office he could lay his hands on, so
as to leave as little patronage as pos
sible for Jefferson. Not only so, but
in the closing hours of his administra-
ton he and his party associates Gre
ated twenty-three new judgeships, for
which there was no necessity, and
worked till the stroke Of midnight on
March Sd filling out and signing COM
missions for these midnight judges"
as they werC called.

MT. MORRIS VOTES
$4S,000.00 SCHOOL
THOSE FAVORINC PROJECT WON
BY THREE VOTES
Old Building Will Be Torn Down aud
New One Erected on the
Same Site

After one of the most spirited con
tests imaginable the tax payers of Mt.
Morris village school district last Sat-
Iurday voted to build new $48, 900, 90
school building, those favoring the
project winning by the narrow but
sufficient margin of three votes. A
part of the townships of Mt. Morris.
Vienna, Thetford and Genesee are COM
prised in the district, the assessed vaN-
alton of which is about $3.50, 600 90,
with prospect that this figure will be
greatly augmented if the present rate
of growth of the village continues for a
few years.
While no definite plans have been
made as yet, the department of public
instruction at Lansing has sent blue
print that they consider will relieve the
needs. This blue .print provides build
ing for ten teachers, with gymnasium
amply large for basketball and other
games and shower baths for boys and
girls in the basement. The first floor
contains part of the grade rooms and
an auditorium seating between $50 and
400 people. On the second floor Is the
high school room, large enough for $50
students and class rooms opening off
from the high school room. The build
ing is to be fireproof but it is thought
that while the board of education will
follow this plan they will make it con-
siderably larger.
Already bonding firm from Detroit
has made an offef for the bond issue
and will pay premium of $50 per thous-
and and an interest rate of per cent
The bonds will run for Is years. No
principal will be paid on the bonds for
the first three years and only So, 600
year for the next three so as to let the
increased valuation pay the heavier
part of the bond issue An architect
suitable for the department of public
instruction and to the board of public
instruction and to the board of educa-
ton will be hired Immediately and plans
will be prepared and contracts entered
Immediately At the close of the
school year the present building will be
torn down and the new one erected on
it's site. The contract will provide that
the building must be completed by Sept.
/, next.
Seth V. Johnson, VIM. E. Woolftt,
Archie A. Bray, DR.. E. C. Van De-
Walker and Fred J. Lindsay are the
members of the board of education
whom the voters gave the task of build
ing the new school building.
