true that we pay $3.50 for high grade
magazine paper and even more than
that for linen letter paper-a good deal
more when it comes to us clean. we
give on an average of fifty cents and
a dollar for newspapers and magazines
delivered neatly tied, here. But when
our wagons have to go a long distance
for a small load of papers, the price is
naturally cut in half Papers are not
easy to handle. We are a long way
from a large paper mill, and these
things initiate against our ability to
pay top prices for waste paper. But
at that the collecting of waste paper
pays.

The American Newspaper Publishers
Association has sent bulletins TO every
State and city and town in the country
urging that everybody, old and young,
save all the scraps of paper that come
into their hands. A. Traub, manager
of the Kansas City Waste Paper Com
pany, says the situation can be saved
only by the children. A children's cru
sade, he says, should be inaugurated to
see that not a scrap of any kind of pa
per is wasted.
"I mention the children" he said to-
day, "because they are not too old to be
taught new tricks. Already there are

piece of low grade paper in bundle OF
high grade paper is apt to qualify the
entire bundle for the low grade price

There is wide difference between
the prices we pay for the highest and
lowest grades. There is wide differ
ence, too, in the prices paid for paper
to-day and that paid q year ago. AL
though the price had begun going up
year ago, we are paying double to-
day what we gave at this time last year.

MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY /
When you can't remove an obstacle,
pl0l0 around it-LINcoLN.
A REPUBLICAN PROTEST

AFING just passed through the
IL period of peace on earth, good
will to men," it is the hope of
Republicans who have no ak to grind
just the plain, everyday voting and
working Republicans-that the mis-
guided gentlemen who are doing their
level best to permanently disable the
party will hear above their own racket
the roar of protest which is going
up from every quarter of the State.
III the party as party, however,
has no further good to accomplish, if
its record of great usefulness is at an
end, then there is no occasion to wor-
ry over the spectacle of factional dis
sension which is arousing the anger
and contempt of thousands of loyal
party men all over the State.
Letters received by the Telegraph
heartily commend a recent editorial,
published in this newspaper under the
caption, Party Foolishness," refer
ring to the silly rumpus over the
speakership of the House. "You never
wrote a better one," says one writer, a
stalwart Republican; "terse and to the
point, every word of it true; others
have been thinking the same things;
others who have the good of their
party at heart have been deploring
this foolish quarrel"
These letters are simply the express
sion of deep-seated feeling among
Republicans that the time has come
to stop making n football of the party.
Philadelphia is an important city
and its large Republican vote is use
full in adgmenting the strength of the
party organization, but unless and
until the factions in the metropolis of
the Commonwealth learn that the
party at large has no interest in set
tling old scores there will be no peace.
Let the Philadelphians shiny on their
own ground. 1t is unfair to annoy the
rest of the State and involve in the
scrimmage the great body of the
party which has absolutely no interest
in the unseemly wrangle.

MONDAY EVENING, :

making no preparations for the in-s
dustrial tornado that is to follow the
resumption OF peace in Europe. We
are even less prepared for peace to-
day than we were for war in 1914, and
the President and Congress show no
disposition to give the matter the
thought it deserves!
Another serious prospect is that of
continued disturbances between the
railroads and the brotherhoods. AS
all thoughtful persons foresaw, the
Adamson law has not solved the eight
hour dispute. What the outcome will
be nobody at present can foresee. The
possibility of a railroad strike is as
alarming reality to-day as it was
before the eight-hour legislation halt
ed the trouble temporarily.
On the other hand, there is encour-
agement in finding the people of the
country thinking beyond their mere
material prosperity and preferring
even the trials and tribulations that
must be met in America, following a
declaration of peace, to q continuance
of the frightful tragedy in Europe.
This is the best tradition that the old
year has left to the new-that we in
America have learned to think more
in terms of love and justice than in
those OF the dollar, that we are living
up to the principles upon which the
nation was founded and that we lay
aside purely selfish considerations in
resolving to stand for the greatest
number, regardless of the boundaries
of nation or of continent.
The new year will bring its suffer-
ings and its trials, but it will bring
also its opportunity for service world
wide in its scope, and if we as ma
ton live up to the high ideals in
which majority of the people earn
estly believe and for which they
would strive under any and all condi-
tions, we shall approach its conclusion
with more of satisfaction than we did
the end of 1916.
