A Change With the Times.

The exigencies of an abnormal yeai
will demand of all publishers in the
fast coming months change in meth
ods. Retrenchment will be needed fol
self f-prevervation and to protect the
interests of the community which
they serve.
With the prices of all articles in
the printing business soaring beyond
reach, it is necessary that new tac-
ties be adopted to save the papers
to the communities they serve and
at the same time protect the interests
of the publishers.
As in the past so in the future The
Sun will have as its goal and pride
the serving of its readers fully and
completely with the local news. And
in this respect The Sun hopes never
to change. The only change that Will
be made will be to the all-home print,
commencing with this issue of Thurs
day, September z. The size of The
Sun will be elastic to fit the needs as
Sheridan and the surrounding commu-
mites require, and the readers are as
sured of a news service as equal in
the future as in the past.-Sherldan

lie blandly intimates are the exclusive
property of the party he represents.
He has the assurance, in fact, to as
gert that no other party can be trust
ed at the present time with the shap-
ing Of national destiny, through con-
Itrol Of the general government.
Tn all this, however, it must be re-
membered the president is special
pleader, actuated by the thought of
advancing the interests of his own
party and promoting his personal am
billions. There is another side to the
story, and he admits as much when
he frankly comedies that he has made
mistakes, at the same time insisting
his purpose and object always have
been worthy. Yet he evidently be-
lieves-at least hopes-that his own
official record and the record of the
present democratic congress include
enough of creditable character to out
weigh errors and blunders. And on
this basis he pleads for the continued
confidence and support of the Ameri-
can people, throwing out a special
sop for progressive voters, and con-
tending that the republican party in
particular, "is just the party that
cannot meet the new conditions of a
new age
As we said before, the president
is an able rhetorician. and he makes
ian excellent argument for the demo-
acratic party and, incidentally, for
himself. But the American people
a large portion of them, at least
scarcely will overlook the fact that
mistakes and blunders of really seri
ous character have been committed.

progressive. constructive legislation.
with a candidate for president who
apparently pOoaO9oOo
superior even to those of Mr.. Wilson.
While the latter may please and
hold democratic voters. therefore, his
special pleading scarcely will gain the
support of real republicans, or at
tract many of the progressives who
are ready this year TO return to the
republican fold. And if this is true,
it is perfectly plain that the presi-
dent has been lead into another error
Of Judgment, as shown by his state
ment that he "doubts not the people

Newspaper Economy.

Forest Grove News-Times: The
passing of the Sioux City News, after
an ineffective effort at reorganiza-
tion, is in line with the tendency of
the times. The prevailing principle
demands the elimination of inefficient
competition. 1t is working out in the
large cities, where there has been a
steady stream of daily newspaper
suspensions and consultations, says
the Sioux City Journal. The same
force has been at work among small
town dailies and country weeklies.
Everywhere the trend is toward few
er. better and more economically con-
Quoted newspapers. Generally this
application of the rule of the survi-
val of the fittest has been welcomed
by all communities that have been re-
lieved of the burden of maintaining
wasteful competition in the newspa-
per field.
The increased cost of print paper
is partly responsible for numerous re-
cent decisions to give up the fight on
the part of struggling newspapers. As
a consequence of the war and its eff
fects upon other industries, newspa-
per cost production has increased
substantially within the last two
wears. The new conditions have test
ed the resources of the strongly en-
trenched newspapers. Newspapers
that were struggling along under nor
NAL conditions have found themselves
unable to keep up the fight under re-
cent abnormal conditions.
However, the higher cost of opera
tion is not the only influence back
of the new tendency. In fact, 1t is
not the most important one. The
newspaper has become public neees-
sity. After a fashion it has come
to be looked upon as sort of public
stility. Nexspapar supporters inelud-

 Domestic consumption of cotton in December amounted to 555,000 bales compared with 451, 900 bales in Decem- Der, 1914. December exports of cot ton were 1000 bales against 1,202, 900 a year ago. Active cotton spindles
