The Cost of Publishing.

An exchange says that the all
nouncement of an increase in sub
scription price has just been made by
all the New York daily newspapers.
This change became effective last
Saturday. Some of the newspapers
there have been holding out against
the inevitable as long as they could.
But with costs mounting higher and
higher the last one of the DIRECTORS
had to yield. The other alternative
was to go out of business.

Genuine Hypocrisy.

The people who have so much sym
pathy for those who have gone be
yond all earthly help, might use 1
little of it in every day life to good
and excellent purpose. The idea OF
kicking people when alive and then
for a person to weep over their grave
when dead is what too many of III
do and is one reason why the world is
no better to-day. Speak your kind
words to the living, and when you
are dead you need not care what is
said of you.

SCORN BRYAN'S SCOLDING

New York resents the efforts of
outsiders in the effort to scold the
State into ratifying the Federal pro-
hibition amendment. Mr.. Bryan made
this declaration:
sit is about time New York State
was leading in something good,
something to drive out the outlaw,
alcohol"
This has led to such expressions
as: "At a moment when every bit
of virile force and energy Of the
American people should be exerted
outward against their enemies over
seas, the State of New York can see
little honor in leading a pusillani.
nous movement, to surrender the
rights of local seh-government in the
United States and set up. instead, an
arbitrary and sweeping control over
the personal habits of 100000, 900
Americans who had been thought
worthy to be deemed free-born and
self-regulating."
