similar unanimity Efficiency. economy
reform Of the diplomatic service, rigid
adherence to the civil service law, 1t was
agreed, are good things, but academic
and without sufficient driving power be-
hind them to stir the public in a great
national campaign
Concerning the other issues-MexicO.
the tariff, Americanism, including pre-
paredness, and the eight-hOur law, there
was some division of opinion But the
general view was that whatever their
respective merits It was time lost to
preach them in either sure Democratic or
sure Republican States such as those
named
New York New Jersey, and the Mid
die West, particularly Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan, with perhaps Iowa and
Missouri thrown in, are the States to be
won, according to the reports received
here, and upon them every effort of the
big guns, including Hughes, ought to be
concentrated.
This old guard opinion fortifes itself
behind the general lack Of enthusiasm
Of the Western tour. 1t attributes the
sagging of the campa ign to inefficient
management and points to specific in
stances as proof. Hughes, it declares,
ought never to have been permitted to
become enmeshed In the California sit
uatiOn. II he was going to California at
all, he should have waited until the Sen
atoriaI primaries there had been held.
Hughes again, 1t Is observed. never
should have gone to Tennessee at all.
but if he was going there, care should
have been taken in advance to have
some sort of a labor demonstration for
him to address on Labor Day, so that
he would not have been put in a posi-
tion to be snubbed by the organized
labor element.
Again. while the candidates reception
in Maine has been more enthusiastic
than any he has yet received, the advisa-
bility of pulling the eight-hour issue
with but three days Of the campaign re-
naming is questioned. And there is Sc
we're criticism of his reluctance in ask
ing by name the election of Hale and
Fernald, the Republican Senatorial can
dtdates IN Maine, and his failure to bear
harder upon Americanism and prepared
ness in the State where the Democrats
have made that one Of their chief issues.
Demand More "Pep."
1t is a fact, of course, that this is old
guard criticism and that there NAV lurk
behind it feeling of disa ppointment and
resentment over the fact that Mr.
Hughes has seen fit to ignore to A large
extent, these old guardsmen and con-
quot MS campaign along lines of his
own personal selection.
What the old guard followers are de-
manding today is the infusion of more
pep" a conference in New York upon
Hughes arrival there Wednesday. and a
general waking up to the situation. A
remarkable feature of the affair which is
not without its pathos is that these same
old guard leaders who were instrumental
In defeating Col. Roosevelt are urging
that he be called in now to prescribe for

COST OF PAPER HITS

Special to The Washington Herald
New York, Sept O.-The price of pa
per, which HAS advanced from 100 to 200
per cent or more over prices prevailing
a year ago. seriously threatens the life
of large number of publications
throughout the country and greatly les
sens the profit OF others.
1t is doubted IL any other large indus
try in the United States has had to face
so serious a situation, comments the
Manufacturers Record because when
prices Of raw materials have advanced
the manufacturers of the finished prod
ucts have advanced their prices and thus
thrown the burden on the ultimate con-
sumner. In the newspaper business this
has not yet been done. The newspapers.
from the largest dailies to the smallest
weeklies, have been bearing the burden
which to many publications will mean
complete destruction and TO many others
the wiping out Of all profit
Had the newspapers OF the country
been as prompt to defend their own in
terests as they have the interests of
others, they, too, would before this have
undertaken to save themselves by an ad-
! vance in subscription price and in ad-
vertising rates
Under existing conditions they will be
forced To do this sooner or later, and
they cannot postpone 1t much longer
without serious financial embarrassment
to many of them. Hundreds Of the small
er weekles, including the religious pa
pers, which have but a very narrow mar
gin between loss and profit, will, We fear.
suffer most seriously, and many of them
disastrously. unless the public promptly
recognizes the situation and accepts an
advance in subscription and in advertis-
ing rates and thus saves the situation.
The day lab6rer, the mechanic, the
farmer and nearly all business inter
ests, manufacturing and mercantile, un-
der the activity of the times are showing
larger earnings than for years. But the
newspapers as a whole, are meeting a
more perplexing problem in the doubling,
and in some cases the trebling. Of price
Of paper, and in the absolute inability to
contract in advance for supplies, than
they have ever had to face before The
statements which have recently appeared
in the daily papers on the subject do not
at all eXaggerate the seriousness Of the
problem.

RUSSIANS SUFFERING

Berlin Reports Great Rise in Cost Of

(By the international News Service }
Berlin Cvia Sayville,) Sept. lO.-The cost
Of living in Russia has increased enor-
mously, according to the Italian news
paper Secolo's Petrograd correspondent
whose reports on the situation are widely
quoted in the German newspapers.
Many shops have been closed, the cor
respondent says, because their owners
were unable to sell their wares at the
fixed maximum prices. The sale of meat
is forbidden throughout Russia on four
days of the week, from Tuesday until
Friday.
Budapest dispatches from Petrograd
state that the meatless days were fixed
because Of the increased prices. Other
victuals. especially vegetables and fruit,
are 100 per cent dearer
These reports are borne out by Stock
holm advices from Petrograd which as
sert that the food crisis in the Russian
capital is increasing.

made By Buffalo, one of which was a
