She was conscious to the last and

TOO NARROW

M ECAUSE General Funston
49, would not allow a prea-
cher of a certain demo
mination to hold revival servi-
ces in one of the national guard
camps another minister of that
same faith is out with a decla-
ration that all men of that de-
nomination should quit the
army and the national guard.
In war time such advice
would be regarded as seditious
and dealt with accordingly. 1t
is not creditable advice even
in times of peace. This min
lister places denominationalism
above religion and his narrow
sectarian ideas are stronger
with him than his loyalty to the
government. The world does
not gain very much from men
who can see no good in any
thing that is not handled by
their own particular church or
own political party. 1t is the
goal that is of Importance, not
this route or that route.

BUSY NOW; IDLE IN 1908

~ N the first of November
w the railroads of the coun-
try lacked 100000
freight cars of having enough
to supply the demands of bust
ness. In the spring Of 1908,
during the first year of the
Taft term the railroads had at
one time 413,000 idle cars.
During the three or four years
succeeding 1908 the number OF
idle cars numbered from 200,-
900 to 100000.
The figures are informative
for more reasons than one.
They illustrate the difficulties
that confront the roads when
the transportation business
rushes within a few years from
the lowest to the highest point.
They also show that no par
ticular political brigade is the
custodian of our national pros
perity. The 413,000 idle cars
were in evidence during a time
when a high tariff was in full
swing; the present car short

~ Y constantly harping on
O advancing prices fol
food and clothing, fanci-
ful or real, some of our Port
land papers play directly into
the hands of those desiring to
BOOST prices to the skies.
There is nothing to be gain
ed by placing too much empha-
sis on this subject, a fact
brought to mind in the follow
ing comment by the New
York World:
However serious the prob
lem as to food supply may be,
the worst possible way to meet
it is by alarms and panics.
Scares of every kind play into
the hands of extortioners and
spectators. The situation is
one that should be met intelli-
gently and courageously by in
dividuals. In such an emer-
gency self-help and self-re-
straint are worth more than
anything that government can
do.
Food is less abundant and
therefore higher in price than
usual because we are feeding
a world at war. In belligerent
nations consumption and price
Iare regulated by law. In this
country much can be done in
the same direction by econo-
mics easily within the reach of
most families. To take fright
at impending famine and make
unneeded purchases at exor-
bitant rates will not help mat
ters.
What millions of Americans
should learn from existing con-
ditions is common frugality,
which is neither injurious nor
disgraceful. The price that is

The department of journalism of
the University of Kansas has Just
been making thorough investiga-
ton into the paper situation in this
country, and the statement it gives
out makes it clear that the situation
facing the printer is serious one
and that it is growing rapidly more
serious. The report says:
Newspaper advertisers and read
ers should prepare themselves for
an increase in both departments of
the daily press if countrywide con-
ditions are any indication. The
European war has already forced
New York papers to sell on a non.
returnable basis. This means that
the carrier or newsboy who pur-
chases papers is not permitted to
return those he does not sell and
receive rebate. Other papers have
increased their prices from one and
two cents to five cents per copy and
now the big paper mills declare
they see no avenue of escape from
still further increases.
lone instance of the effect the
war is having on the price of paper
is that cellulose, fibrous matter
produced from cotton and linen rags
and wood pulp and the basis of all
kinds of paper, is now in great de-
mand by the munition factories of
this country for the manufacture of
high explosives. Munition firms,
rushed to the limit to fill war or
ders, are paying fabulous prices for
this material and as a consequence
paper mills have been compelled to
keep on even terms in order to OBJ
tain the necessary supply for the
manufacture of print paper. The
Dupont powder mills for example
have installed a battery of beaters
with a capacity vastly greater than
the capacity Of any paper mill in
the United States and are paving
top prices for rag stock and COM
handing first choice of this stock
from all over the country.
ITO the printer this means the
necessity of advancing his advertis-
ing and circulation prices in pro-
portion to the general advance in
the price of paper. He has no al
tentative and the American reading
public will have to foot the BILL"
