NEWSPAPERS AND PAPER

Newspaper publishers throughout the country are planning the organization of paper manufacturing companies for the purpose of reducing the cost Of print paper. Many Of the papers still pro tected by long term contracts with the mills, but there also many newspapers whose contracts have expired win expire during the coming year. Those which have to renew contracts find that they are required to pay practically d0dbe the former price. and if they do not sign long term contract they held up for three four times much as the old price t is said for instance that the Milwaukee Sentinel is being compelled to pay ' cents a pound for paper that cost less than third of that sum under it's contract which recently expired. Pacific Coast publishers being urged by those of their number who have not long term contracts to finance a paper mill. and they are looking toward Alaska as a possible field in which to secure their wood pulp
 There is no reason in the world why Alaska should not be shipping pulp to mills Puget Sound or better yet making paper for shipment Pacific Coast and other points. With the Panama Canal in opera ton and ships being launched every few days paper could be shipped from Alaska to the Atlantic far less prices than are now asked on this coast by coast mills.
 One of the strange things about this raise in the price of paper is the circumstance as was pointed out by The Empire the other day. that more paper has been made in the United States this year than ever before and have imported more. The higher price has been due to two things-an increased de. mand and increased profits the part of the paper manufacturers. The Trade Commission points out that paper manufacturers have paid 70 per cent more in dividends in 1916 than were paid in 1915 which also. a profitable year.

pRoeREssvEs WHO SHOULD BE DEMOCRATS
(New York Worldl

Mir Wilson received the in November of more than million persons who favored no other Democrat It is to this element that he appealed at the dinner Chairman Mccormick when he urged all ProgressveS as duty to the country and 70 them selves to ally themselves with the Democratic party
 The attempt to liberalize Republicanism is dem, Onstrated failure With it's leadership unchanged and undscipned by the great revolt of 1912 the organi' zaton had q candidate this year in Mir Hughes as reactonary Mir Taft and it never stood more reso- utey in the way of progress At the very time, how ever. when Republican Progressives were making their unavailng effort to subdue standpatism the Democracy passed under the leadership of it's most advanced elements and has remained, with legisa- tive and administrative achievements without a par allel.
 Unless the people make intelligent of political organizations with whose aims they are in sympathy, popular government work at cross-purposes The original Republican party became powerful because the Free-So;l Democrats and Conscience Whgs filled its ranks Those recruits had to abandon party names and traditions, but they found that easier and wiser tban continued association with reactionares Their help was necessary the creation of the new political instrument which later fought the war and pre- served the Union.
 A progressive party is now in control at Wash ington and is the only organization of the kind in existence. The only sure way to maintain its present character prevent it's own evil influences from regainng the aScendancy is, as the President says for all forwarl-lookng men to cooperate with 1t. As between Democratic advance and Republican retreat sincere Progressives ought not long to hes tate.

HIeH LIVING AND HIeH cosr

Women of Seattle have formed union for the purpose Of boycottng butter, eggs and other food stuffs that have reached almost prOhlbtye prices. It is likely that the union will grow to such pro portions that it will have any appreciable effect on the prices of the commodities concerned. This is partly due to the circumstance that everything else is high in price. However the action suggests the practice Of frugality and that would be sound com mon sense at time when prices of everything are soaring.
 It was James J. Hill who said once upon time. when good deal was being said about the high coast Of living that the American people are sui fering a great deal from the of high living than the high cost of living. There is good deal in that. If the American people would cut more of the high living at times when prices high there would be less need to consider the of high living Prices would decline and. in measure the situation would regulate itself The frugality that people used hear much about is dishonored more by its than by any discovery of unsOundness or unrighteousness about it.

 the Democratic strength for his legislation. The need for the organization of the House is to have ma

The votes will come when needed from practically all the partes-that is' they will come if we are to judge the future by the past.

THE RoUGHNEcK
fIditarod Pioneer)


 The following paragraph in answer to query was published in the Literary Digest recently;
 Roughneck is slang term for a tough or rowdy, such as member of of those gangs that at time terrorized the people of the sums of New York Chicago. The term is also used to denote person who lacks manners or refinement in contrast to one who has a good address and the appearance Of culture as. "Oh. he's roughneck!" In the Evening Post (New York of August 17. 1903, we find the following: His (Sam Parks stat ed income amounts to union wages from his union of roughnecks. the ironworkers call themselves. as walking delegate" Also in Colonel Crockett in Texas" published in 1886 read You may be called drunken dog by some of the cleanshrt and sik-stocking gentry; but the real roughneck will style you a joyial fellow"
 In Alaska the term "roughneck' has an ap propriate meaning distinct from any of the above definitions. Far from being a term of reproach, it Is in large complimentary. It refers to that large class of Aaskans who meeting and combating natural obstacles untamed wilderness, overcpmes them and glories in the task. The Alaska roughneck may have been reared amid refnemnt or luxury, or he may have been product of the slums; but the rials and difficulties met with in the Northland lend hat touch of nature which makes them all kin The -oughneck of today is apt to be the capitalist of morrow. and then he is not ashamed of being designated a "roughneck"

POTLATCH LUMBER COMPANY
BEGGING FOR IS MEN TO
WORK IN CAMPS
Offer So Per Day to Large Crew, Ac-
cording to Probate Judge w. +.
Morgareidge

Labor is so scarce that the Potlatch
Lumber company is having difficulty
in finding enough men to enable them
to carry on their operations, accord
ing to Judge w. F. Morgareidge, who
returned today from a speaking tour
tc the northern part of the county.
"a telegram requesting that if 70
men couldn't be sent, so would be well
come was sent to Spokane by the lum-
Der company last week" Judge Nor
gareidge said today. 1.-THE statement
was made by lumber official that no
man in this part of the country should
complain of not being able to find
work, as there is all kinds of it at So
per day. The company has announced
that all the labor that can be procured
may be sent to them, as they are in
need of a much larger crew than they
have at present.
1.-THE people in the northern part of
the county seem to be taking the cam
paign rather cody, / think. They
don't seem to be wrought up over any
phase of it, although they are inter
ested enough to discuss the issues"
