Everything in connection with publish ing newspaper has gone up and many city publishers who formerly gave hord-boied egg and chromo with each paper sold for penny, havecut out the eggs and pictures and advanced the price of their papers alone to two cents. A recent price list just issued by a wholesale paper house is nothing short of horrifying It shows that every material that enters into the cost of a newspaper has gone up. Ink, press paper, stereotype paper, stereotype metal, oil chemicals, etc, are from p per cent to 800 per cent higher than they were two years ago.

HISTORY REPEATED

"In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, in behalf of endangered Am crcan interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and act, the war in Cuba must stop"
 Those were the words uttered eighteen years ago by President William Mckinley when forbearance with the course pursued in Cuba had ceased to be a virtue Note the similarity of conditions then existing in Cuba and in Mexico at present. At that time it was unsafe for Americans to travel in Cuba the same as it is unsafe for them to travel in Mexico today. American interests in Cuba were then destroyed the same as they have been lately in Mexico Then Cuba had no stable government but it was as stable as that of Mexico today, so the American people grew tired of the way things were going on and demanded that they stop. President Mckinley finally ap- pealed to congress and was given permission to send troops to Cuba and bring about a better condition of affairs.
 Yet there are today people in this coun- try who supported President Mckinley and who are opposing President Wilson's course in NIexico-and up to the present time their courses have been the same. President Me- Kinley did not jump in without a lot of ''watchful waiting" He did not make his appeal to congress at the first demand of in- terested parties He did not act without first having resorted to every known course to induce Spain herself to right matters. But there came time when he could go no fur ther-and he had a united country back of him; he had back of him these same people who are now opposing President Wilson.
 So President Wilson has a harder job on his hands than President Mckinley had. But he is dealing with it as President Me- Ciuley dealt with his problems-in the best possible manner, and for the good of all our people
 In fact, while both presidents pursued practically the same course, the country was involved in war in the case of the former, while present indications are that war will be averted in the ease of the latter. Yet some people assert that Wilson's Mexican policy has been weak and vascillating. In the opinion of thinking people, however, the man who keeps his country out of war is the one entitled to the greatest credit.

The nus of the matter, as affected by the events of this war, is, OF
course, the question whether the inventor of the submarine boat altered
the conditions OF marine warfare to such an extent that the old rule n

of effective defense, and may be destroyed by a single gun, II it is the
right sort and properly managed. The submarines mcan OF attack
are necessarily sudden and summary.

JUST WHERE THE APPEAL STANDS

The Carson Weakly, which Marshal Gray states he is running Gust
for fun" and not as a business enterprise, contains in its last issue ii
list OF the various papers o. the state and Gray's size-up Of their predi-
lecions for United States senator in the coming campaign. The Ap-
peal is charged with being Strongly anti Plat, mildly ant-Fittman and
otherwise neutral" All of which indicates that the Weakly does not
know what it il talking about and if its assertion is made in a clumsy
attempt h invite the Appeal to make al acknowledgement as to where
it stands regarding the senatorship w do not hesitate to state its posi-
tion.
The Appeal is for the Democrat who gets the nomination in the
convention, first, last and all the time, but it is not silly enough to at
tack or beltne any candidate for the nomination sc long a that candi-
date is capable, competent and honest and represents the true spirit of
Democracy. The Appeal believes in a clean break for ALL and when the
convention is yer it will do its level best for the candidate whom the
convention honors and it will not have placed itself in a position where
by it will stulify itself by "skinning back" what might have been said
O. charged before the convention. The Appeal is no hypocrite. 1t is
just plain Democratic. Its editor is not holding any political office
under any political candidate and has NO strings on him, whatsoever
Can the editor of the Weakly say as much?

OI an inverted crescent. sun later,
as he closely watched the light-span-
gled shore line, he caught sight of
two small winging eyes of green and
red. Accepting this apparently as
signal, he swung in close under the
shadow of coal barge and made fast
at the slip end, where high above him
a waiting taxicab stood close beside
the stringpiece. Yet, hurried as the
man in the mask seemed to be, he took
time to sit under one of the cabin
lamps and indite a short epistle. This
epistle, addressed to "Enoch Golden
and his friends read as follows:
The Funds of the Third National
bank vault are now in my possession
and will be duly returned to the right
full owners. But that ! may enjoy the
luxury OF the game as we'll as the
name, ] am withholding from those re-
turned funds the fifty thousand dollars
in gold which was formerly the prop
erty of the man who, by depressing
the poor, has compelled this action.
When that man looks into his own
heart and returns to the paths of wis
dom, this gold will be returned to him
by
THE LAUGHING MASK.
Still later that night while Davie
Manley and Margory Golden and her
father were arguing and wondering as
to the origin and full meaning of this
strange message, Legar and his men,
emerging like water rats from the
river-front rendezvous close beside the
Owls Nest, piled into harbor launch
with a muffied kicker and silently
made their way for Oyster Joe's.
Crowding into the dimly lit sail loft
of Oyster Joe, they found themselves
confronted, not by the millions IN
stolen treasure, but by a stiff jointed
and blasphemous old man in white
whiskers, tied and dashed to one of
his own shack beams.
Don't yelp at me about your
damned gold" cried Oyster Joe, with
sulphurous string of oaths, when
he was able to speak. Il never saw
any gold, All saw was that chain
lightning gink in a mask, the gink
who's double-crossed me twice at the
same camel"
Legar staggered back into a broken
chair.
$50 it's the Laughing Mask again."
he said with an oath.

a marked preference for gloom, since
neither his cabin nor his deck lamps
were alight. Equally without light
was the numbering truck which
crawled cautiously down to the lip of
the wharf, where, after an exchange
of quiet whistled signals, a number of
vaguely outlined figures set about lift
ing a pile of small but sturdy canvas
sacks and boxes from the motor truck
to the waiting launch. This was done
in utter silence. The moment the
transfer had been completed the
launcI slipped out from the wharf
shadow.
Morose as seemed the man steering
fhst launch. the two newcomers VINO
had been ordered aD0ard MS craft,
ly loaded, occupied much of his at
tention. 1t was soon plain, however,
that he had small wish for converse
ton with them. When, after three
miles of silent travel, during which the
white-bearded man at the wheel had
responded with nothing more than a
sulky grunt, one of the newcomers sud-
denly struck match and held it close
to the white-bearded face, the hands
gripping the wheel quite as suddenly
relinquished their hold and fastened
themselves about the throat of the
overinquisitive cargo sentry. Before
his companion, standing quite close to
the bow of the boat, could quite real
ize the meaning of the movement, the
two men beside the wheel were writh-
ing and stamping and painting about
the narrow deck.
Fierce as that fight was, it was not
prolonged one. For the white-beard-
ed man, despite his age, with one final
effort, succeeded in lifting his OPP
ponent clear of the deck-boards and
tiinging him headforemOst into the
black water Then he turned and
braced himself for the charge of the
second man. This second man he met
by dropping quite fiat and unexpected
ly on the deck itself. He felt the
charging body go over his own, caught
at one still kicking foot as he twisted
quickly about, and before his opponent
could recover from that fall the patri-
archal boat owner had assisted his I'M
welcome guest over the deck-lip after
his companion.
But, oddly enough, in that struggle
the bewhiskered old boatman had I'M
dergone sudden and startling change.
The clutchpg fingers of his enemy in
the second contest along the boatdeck
had buried themselves in the thick
white beard decorating that launch
owners chin. And when this enemy
went overheard that fringe of whis-
kers went with him, leaving at the
wheel a somewhat altered and consid
erably younger looking man. And that
this unknown amender of destinies
was still intent on nursing the secret
Of his identity was further evidenced
by the fact that, before turning his
boat about and facing the ebb-tide cur
