MY, How Barnes and the
Rest of the Old Guard Love
Charles Z. Hughes-NOt!


It's hard to tell of course, what one
would do if his party nominated him for
\ the presidency of the United States. but
we have been thinking the matter over
and we have come to the conclusion that
IL we were in Charles z. Hughes place.
we would rather NOT have than HAVE
some of the support" that is being
pledged him by the Old Guard.
For instance, William Barnes now de-
clares that he is for Hughes.
Barnes has been holding off, but he an
nounces in his Albany newspaper that
\ Hughes Detroit speech was just right.
Take Barnes line of reasoning and you
7 have the reasoning of the Chicago con-
vention in reluctantly accepting Hughes
for the party standard bearer.
Barnes admits he never had much use
Tor Hughes because Hughes is reform
or. or was as governor of Barnes state,
and we are not convinced now, as we learn
that he has pledged Hughes his support"
that he Is going to be regular because OF
anything like "undiluted Americapism."
We ARE convinced he is going to be
regular because being regular is quite the
thing this year in the ranks Of the q.
0.P.
II wasn't the fact that the Old Guard
loved Hughes more that accounted for
their swallowing him; it was the fact
4 that they loved both Theodore Roosevelt
and Woodrow Wilson less, and the idea
81 those jobs going to Democrats for an
other four years was more than they
could endure.
The incest thing remarked about
Hughes as a candidate and as his partys
nominee was his independence Of the or
ranization and its bosses, which, it has TO
be readily admitted. is lot said in favor
Of anybody running for Office, big or
little.
Then, however, just as the people were
beginning to find out this thing so much
In Hughes favor, the Old Guard began
dropping into line and the dropping has
been so general that we doubt whether
the candidate himself is any too well
pleased.
There are lot of things about Hughes
that Barnes does not like, but the big
idea Is, he is a Republican and the pres
idency simply MUST come back to the
Republican party, even if the candidate
happens to be man who is acceptable 70
Theodore Roosevelt, whom Barnes made
defendant in libel suit.
Hughes has made the issue "undiluted
Americanism," and that is his theme at
the present time, az he is going over
the country.
Nobody questions his personal sin
csrity.
Nobody believes, on the other hand
that 1t is an "undiluted Americanism'
that has drawn to him these members
of the Old Guard.
They don't care tinker's cuss. as a
matter of fact, about anything in this
campaign but PARTY SOLIDARITY and
the presidency, and they aren't going tc
worry much about what kind of Ameri-
canism comes with it.

support its position with action or

much the more dangerous and will
invite even more contempt than the
former.

THE POOR
PRINTER

Practically all lines of industry in
this country have suffered as a result
of the war in Europe, due to the
shutting off of materials used in the
manufacture of articles made in this
country. The shortage of raw ma
terial and ether essentials has caus-
ed prices on many commodities to
advance and. in many cases, they
have doubled since the war began.
Probably no branch OF industry has
heen harder hit than the printing
trade. Prices on paper have almost
gone out of sight, and the prices on
inks, especially the colored, have
doubled and trebled in price.
Paper has advanced in price 30
per cent and the market is in a con.
dtion akin to panic. The predic-
ton is that It may double in price
before the end of the year.
The shutting off of the Canadian
and Swedish pulp, the scarcity of all
kinds of chemicals used in its manu-
facture and the loss of the German
market for dyes Of all kinds has al
ready caused famine in the paper
trade and the end is not yet.
Bleachers used in the manufacture
of paper have jumped from $50 to
5000 per ton. The failure Of the lin.
en- rag supply from Russia, the pro-
hibition of the export of rags from
Egypt and the far east, has doubled
the cost of raw material to the paper
mills.
When the printer buys his inks,
especially colored inks, he Is inform.
ed that the stock of aniline dyes has
been practically exhausted and until
we can build the plants to manufac-
ture them here at home or break
through the British blockade for a
supply from the German manufactur-
ers, he had better use black.
All Of which seems bad enough to
the disciples OF Caxton and Benjamin
Franklin, but the worst Is yet to
come. In every other line Of trade
and industry when prices rise. the
merchant and manufacturer calmly
pass on the increased cost to that
patient, long suffering individual
known as the ultimate consumer.
The poor printer stands helpless
and hopeless in the face OF his in
creasing difficulties. The publisher
cannot increase the price Of his sub.
scription and the job printer feels
that he had better take the loss ra'
Their than attempt to enter into a long
explanation as to why It is costing
him probably 80 per cent more to
turn out the same job than It did a
few months ago,

time It was incidentally discovered
that the Germans were making their
siege and other big guns from tung-

little or no attention to the activity
of the Germans along the line. When
the war started the world was dumb

that the Germans tungsten guns en-.

You know the volume OF war order

this country has had since then.
It Is common information as the
preamble to our federal constitution
To make guns and ammunition to
compete with the German guns, our
steel manufacturers had to have
tungsten. Last April the price OF
GO per cent tungsten concentrates was
$3.50 a unit OF 90 pounds, and the
industry OF producing tungsten was
extremely profitable at that price.
Then the price began soaring by
leaps and bounds. until at this writ.

unit.

GREAT OPPORTUNITY
OFFERED STATE BANDS

A wonderful opportunity for the
bands in North Dakota towns is Of
fered this winter in the coming of
Alessandro Liberati, one of the great
est of living Italian band conductors.
He will spend a limited time in the
state, training the bands in the towns
that desire his assistance, and con-
Quoting the band in a concert, at
which he will appear as cornet soloist,
and will have as accompanist, pianist
and reader Miss Pohlmann.
Four complete sets of Signor Liber-
ati's own band compositions can be
obtained through the Music Depart
ment of the University of North Da-
kota. These can be rehearsed and a
program given with Signor L;berati.
Letters should be addressed to Pro-
fessor w. w. Norton, who has the
placing of this great conductor in
charge.
Arrangements have already been
made by a number of towns to Sc
cure the assistance of Signor Liberati.
His coming gives an opportunity for
the presentation Of an artistic as we'll
as a money making concert, and for
invaluable training to the musicians.
