BOB DUNN

ADVANTAGEOUS" Bob Dunn, as he
Y has been lovingly called by his most
intimate enemies, has brought his
best beloved child, the Princeton Union
up to its fortieth year through all the vi
cissitudes of which no one who has not
published a country sheet can have the
Slightest knowledge. Perhaps the Union
was we'll along in it's teens when Bob
adopted tive don't know. We do know
however, that it has reached successful,
ripe maturity under his fathering.
The Union is a big paper-big from a
news standpoint, big from human in
terest standpoint and big politically in
that it states political situations and con-
ditions with clarity which may we'll be the
envy of every paper in he state.
But Bob Dunn is bigger than his paper,
as an editor must always be if his paper
is not to get into a rut. Bob is scrappy,
pugnacious with the accent on the pug
and has fondness for barking and growl-
ing as though he'd bite. But he never
really does. Instead he fights like fury
for the thing he believes is just and bene-
fetal and a little harder than that for
good roads You always know where Bob
stands and you find him standing there
even when you return from little side
excursion of your twn.

We like Bob Dunn. The only thing we
don't like about him is one Jas. A. Peter
son and who knows-Bob may overcome
even that monstrous fault in time.
Let us all drink toast-in buttermilk

cess to the princeton Union" and Hon.

When one is accosted by a usually genial
Register Of Deeds with the words Il wish

could tell you what l think of YOU it's a
pretty safe bet that said usually genial

of holiday Indigestion. At that he hasn't
any the best of us-we wish we were a
man all the time.

An exchange is regretting the fact that
there were so few family reunions possible
among the crowned heads Of Europe this
Christmas. It's nobodys fault but their
own and we can't feel any call for sympa-
thy. It's the other family reunions these
same c. hs. have made impossible that
we regret.

THE MIND AND THE TASK

- ETTING out Of warm bed on cold
morning is greater mental than
physical task.-Toledo Blade.
True for you, old scout!
But isn't it true that most tasks that
require the mastery of purpose over lazi-
ness, inertia, doubt, distaste, fear and the
like call for more mental than physical
exertion?
And that includes not only getting out
of warm bed on cold morning, but all
other tasks that count for much in the
world-Duluth Herald.

ROOSEVELT'S HYMN OF HATE

M r. Roosevelt hates and despises Mr..
NI Wilson more than he does any 9TH
er man in public life. But this does
not mean that, if he tried, the Colonel
could not hate and depise somebody worse
than he does Mr.. Wilson. To say other
wise would be to reflect on the Coloneps
versatility and power Of emotional concen-
ration. This is he latest exr rnation of
The famous Gary dinner, am !. luncheon
that took place about the same time. At
these functions Mr.. Roosevelt let it be
known that if the Republicans try to NOM
mate a candidate who is weak on Ameri-
canism, meaning preparedness, Mr.. Roose-
welt will throw his support to Wilson.
This is consistent and adequate prepared
ness. 1t is preparedness against any pos
sible adversary, Wilson, or whoever is the
greater traitor nominated by either party
on the un-American platform of disagree
ing with Mr.. Roosevelt Believing heart
and soul in preparedness, the Colonel has
prepared hymn 1t hate which may be
discharged in any direction, like the guns
of the Queen Elizabeth:
Hate of the mind and hate of the spleen,
Hate of the stout and hate of the lean,
Whom will hate in June, '16?
Burton! !

Edit. Ericsson expresses the plaintive
wish that ''the people of Springfield would
include in their New Years resolution
resolve to have all their printing done at

to your attention the fact that the mil

field is not a suburb of Heaven Neither

Many years ago Robert Louis Steven

have read appreciatively once each year

Bjornson has touched the Christmas in
spired love of humanity with the silver
pointed pencil of understanding and has
given his readers a masterpiece.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman says-It is
not possible for mothers to fulfill their
duties as mothers when they are expected
to engage in chaotic group of duties such
as cooking, washing and housekeeping, for
which they have no special training"
There is more truth than poetry in these
words A man pats himself on the back
if he can do one thing passably we'll and
yet he expects his team-mate to do at least
sixteen distinct varieties of work, all equal
ly difficult, which he Jumps as house
keeping" Then as side issue he expects
her to take his children and make useful
and valuable citizens of them-with the
paternal inheritance Of these same chill
dren often dead against any such beauti-
full result. Not the least Of the faults of
the male Of the species is his lack of the
sense of values.

Proper Living Conditions Pay.

In a report on Scamp Sanitation
and Housing" the California state
commission of Immigration and hous-
ing offers this bx;inesslike illustration
to large contractors:
Suppose a camp of 200 men with
a pay roll of $500 per day: II living
conditions are bad and the sleeping
accommodations make reasonable
rest impossible. If the food Is fly In
tested and the toilets are unclean and
revolving, the men become disgruntled
and dissatisfied and some become sick.
Experience has, shown that often under
such conditions thtre will be 20 per
cent loss of working efficiency, or a
loss a day OF 500, or $1,000 month.
The sum of SO day, or $500 a MONTH
will cover easily the cost of good SAM
tation. This camp, therefore. can save
81 roo a month by installing model liv-
ing conditions, and do away with the
serious handicap of an ever-quitting
force. Few employers of unskilled
labor realize their loss through sol
diering' of discontinued workers. Pet
ty strikes and labor force continu-
ally quitting, both frequent products
of bad camp conditions, often increase
the cost of work beyond the profit.
Therefore. 1t is not only TO the interest
of humanity but TO your own interest
to have sanitary and 'liyable' camp.

According to reliable reports from

length, while the operator Is provided
with a sliding seat on which he can
move from one end to the other when
working. Rectangular brass tubes are
used as cases for the type, and when
the latter are released, by pressure
upon the keys, they are caught by a
belt carrier and conveyed to one end
where they are deposited in holder.
The 5000 or more characters used by
oriental printers have been CLASSIFIED
into approximately 100 units. These
are collected In the brass tubes, which
are likewise classified by means OF
notches on their sides. While 1t Is
