Sir Rider Haggard, the novelist,

following: "The superfluous women

now the war has greatly increased
that number. A million and half

Moves gently mid its fellowmen
More like a perfume than power.

recognition Of the negro as citizen, vardaman

recognition of the negro as citizen, Vardaman
has no text for ranting.
The senator sought to make case for ms
pet aversion in the army bill He soemnly e2-
pressed his fear that under it negro regiments
would be recruited in the south which, IN the
hands of '.hostile president" might be
used to Cypress the whites At the moment
when a colored regiment is proving so worthy
its traditions of glory in Mexico, this outburst
is particularly ridiculous. It is gratifying to
record that the senator who promptly poked
fun at it was Senator Vardaman's colleague
John Sharp Williams.
The American negro makes splendid sol

His regiments are always close to
maximum strength. He does not desert The

'-The price of practically every item
employed in making newspapers has
gone up since the European war
started in August, 1914, the increases
ranging from one per cent in some
cases to 5000 per cent in others. The
making OF. war munitions and cloth
ing for the men in the trenches has
taken so much material necessary for
printing out of the domestic trade
that uncertain and prohibitive prices
are now the rule. Here are some ex-
amples:
One Of the first elements Of news
paper printing to feel the pressure OF
war demands was the metal supply.
Lead is produced chiefly in the Unit
ed States, but the foreign demand
has been far stronger than the do
mestic market, and lead has jumped
from $4.35 per hundred weight before
the war to S7.25 this week.
The tin used in type metal is to a
great extent under English control,
and is exported only with the per-
mission of the British government.
In 1914, block tin was quoted in New
York at an average price Of $40. To-
day, limited quantities of the same
tin bring $50 in hundred pound lots.
Anthony, the hardening constitu-
ent Of type metal, is also used in
shrapnel and in the asphyxiating
gases used. by the belligerents. The
most carefully smelted varieties Of
this metal came from Europe before
the war, and were quoted at So to 50
per hundred weight. The present
supply is being imported from the
far east, because the European metal
is unobtainable, and Is priced about
$44.
AS a result of the advance in raw
metals, linotype metal, which retailed
for 81 hundred pounds before the
war has jumped to about $14.
Stereotype metal, sold eighteen
months ago for about IS, now brings
about SIS.
Monotype metal, formerly sold for
about $40, now ranges between 1850
and $50
These prices are by no means
steady, but the trend of the market
for the past year and half has been
constantly upward, with occasional
fluctuations.
Leather betting has jumped be-
tween thirty and forty per cent since
hostilities started.
Printing rollers, composed chiefly
of glue, glycerine and molasses, have
also felt the uplift movement, advanc-
ing about eighteen per cent.
Glycerine, greatly in demand for
explosives. has advanced from eigh-
teen and one-half cents per pound to
fffty-two cents, with further advances
expected.
Glue has remained comparatively
stable, but molasses has increased
from 20 to about Is cents per pound.
Wool blankets and felt used in the
packing of printing presses nave
been greatly influenced by the Europ
can demand for wool, and New York
jobbers are quoting prices ten to
twenty-five per cent greater than in
1914.
Stereotype blankets have advanced
in about equal proportions.
1t is estimated that about a billion
pounds of wool is being used for uni
forms and clothing for the belliger-
ent soldiers, and as clothing worn in
the trenches has to be burned after
about two months wear, the wool.

BUcKING THE GASOLINE TRUST

The public be damned" policy of the chief
dispenser Of gasoline has been ''seen'' and
@'rased'' by the manufacturers of automobiles,
who at a meeting in New York completed plans
for a gasoline manufacturing company Of their
own. The National Automobile Chamber Of
commerce, which represents most of the auto.
mobile manufacturers in this country,
nounces that the capital of the company will
be $5,00O,O0O or $1O,00O0,O0O or whatever
amount is found necessary to carry out the
project. The corporation has not been
formed, it is said. for the purpose of injuring
the business of the present manufacturers, but
to show that the price Of gasoline can be ma
terially reduced without the loss Of profit.
decline of one cent gallon in the price OF
gasoline would. it is figured by experts mean
a saving to consumers Of over $17,0O0000 q
year. The price has gone up one hundred per
cent in several places, according to the Chamber
of Commerce men. and in others less than for
ty per cent
But it isn't alone the automobile owner who
is hit by the high price of the necessary fluid.
The Waterloo Courier, in discussion of a
phase of the situation, says:
The man who walks is likely to smile shyly as
the price Of gasoline keeps soaring towards the
half dollar mark at the joke he has the
who drives He is likely congratulate
himself his fortune, wisdom and foresight
in sticking to the sidewalk the trolley line.
AS matter of fact the high price of the product
is hitting him about hard does the
in the automobile. The days groceries, the weeks
wash, the babys shoes. the wifes
bonnet all sent home in a gasoline
these things hauled between the factory and
warehouse and railroad in gasoline There
is hardly anything buy but what is transported
somewhere in gasoline likely IL has
been thus handled several times Who will pay
the increased cost Of transportation that comes
from high gasoline? 1t will be passed on to the
ultimate consumer, of course.
Gasoline is so indispensable article of in
dustry that It's cost is bound to react on
all sorts of commodities That is why the prob
lem is worthy OF serious thought.
