Thinks Cheap Paper WiIlNSoon
Be Thing of the Past.

Washington, D. c., July 1877" The
l cent newspaper will be a thing of
the past within a short time" is pre-.
dicted by Secretary of Commerce VIII
liam C. Redfeld Prices have in
creased all along the line on nearly
all commodities, and within the last
few months there has been a steady
increase in the price of the materials
entering into the making of news print
paper and an increased demand for
paper.
The indications are that early this
fall when new contracts are made, or
before, there will be further increases
in news print paper prices, and pub
fishers will be unable to get out 1
cent papers without loss, and an in
crease in price will be imperative.
From information which has
reached me, am of the opinion that
advertising rates will have to be in
creased also, as it appears that the
increased cost of paper cannot be
made up alone by the Increase in the
price of the newspaper"

Are You Boss Of Your Whole Self, Oh
Boss Of Only Halt.

In connection with all OF our
advocacy OF education, we want
to keep emphasizing thefact that
education Is not something for
young people in schools but for
people OF all ages in all lines Of
work. And no mater how defci.
ent a (man's school advantages
were, he can make himself an edu
Gated man if he only has will
power and self-mastery.
A man must be boss OF himself
however, boss OF his whole self.
And this saying calls to mind an
old memory. We were standing
at the gate OF the old country
church and two Of :our neighbor
farmers were talking. "Iam not
lazy with my muscles; l don't
mind doing any hard work that
comes to hand" said one OF them
"but do mortally hate mental
work. When it comes to sitting
down and figuring and studying
out some problem, l always
dodge it if l can."
1t has been many years since
we heard this conversation (the
writer was a mere boy at the
time, but it fingered in our mem.
ory every since. This man was
one hall boss of himself-boss OF
his muscle but not OF his mind.
And one great reason why farm
ing doesn't pay better and
prCgress is that too many farm.
ers are like our neighbor. The
man who is to succeed at farm.
ing or anything else must be boss
of himself-boss both of his mus
cles and his mind, neither lazy
bodied nor lazy minded. lie
must be able to look at any nec-
crssary job on the farm and say:
This job ought to be done," and
stralghtway make himself do it;
and he must be quite as ready to
say OF some matter about which
be needs information, This les
son ought to be learned" and
straightway make himself learn
it.-Progressive Farmer.

Going Back on the Women.

The Western women are seeing
the light. They are growing sus-
picious that Candidate Hughes
has meant to fool them. At any
rate the Interpretation some OF
them would place on his Spokane
speech is that he does not mean,
if elected, to go beyond the plat
form declaration. He said at
Spokane that he does not pro-
pose Ito attempt to add O n d
could not add to the platform
declaration of his party" and
that when he stated the amend
ment should be submitted q n d
ratified, he was stating only his
personal conviction" The fact
is now dawning upon the women
that he did not mean it. He now
says that he is tied to the plat.
form, taking the same position
that President Wilson took and
from which he could not be NOV
ed. The Hughes suffrage amend
ment bubble was a mighty pref
ty thing while it floated, n toy
that delighted the feminine eve,
and while it might not be quite
an elegant bit OF speech, it is nev-
ertheless true that its collapse
left some OF the militants as mad
as a passel of wet hens 1t was
a very beautiful yetexasperatlng
bit OF hedging on part Of their
erstwise valiant chief and cham.
