OPPOSE GENERAL STRIKE

Secretary of Labor Wilson has ap-
pealed to the workers of the coun
try not to engage in nationwide
strike as protest in the case of
Thomas J. Mooney. The secretary
said that if the evidence now avail

that there had been a conspiracy to
convict Mooney. there is every prob
ability that he will secure a new trial
and have his guilt or innocence deter
mined by jury in the light OF the
facts now known to exist"
The secretary of labor declared
that the only effect of strike would
bring into disrepute and tend TO de-
stroy the jury system of trial. which

WAGES AND EDUCATION

Announcement by puDiic Scnooi Oh
ficials of a marked increase in the
relative number of grade school grad
yates who intend TO continue their ed
ucation by attending the high school
is interesting and gratifying.
Undoubtedly, the figures indicate a
greater average material prosperity
in the homes of Audubon. I'm
they mean that families
which, in former years, would have
found it necessary to send the boys
anss rirls out ilts,, the world Of lahor
and industry az an early age, now
find that the head of the family Is
earning sufficient amount to main
tain its members. The result is that
these boys and girls can afford to con-
tinue in school. to their own ultimate
and to the general gain of
society.
Education, other things being
means intelligence. which
better citizenship. Some men
and women have achieved great sue
cess without education. in schools, at
least. They have had the initiative
and the stamina to educate them
SclNtS, NhiiC WI hihS thNii w. D''
the average youth gains with each
year in school. And the greater in
telligence, better citizenship means a
better country in which to live.
This matter of affording education
20 the children of wage-earners is an
important item in determining the
minimum wage, of which We hear so
much in these days. Applied to the
average family, one minimum wage
may serve to sustain the father,
mother and children, assuming that
the latter labor as soon as possible.
But the tendency is to insist upon a
wage that will enable the children to
complete at least high school edu-
cation. with at most only incidental
labor.
Whatever may be the readjust-
ments of peace, it is to be hoped that
the proportion of children finishing
their education in Audubon's public
schools may never be lowered.

LID Is RAISED; PAPEB ICES
pop SKYWARE AT ON II

Since the war started. the gova n
ment has been much o fthe time Al
gagged in holding prices up or in rails
iEg the prices of this and that to
meet the exigencies of the war. News
paper print and other papers are
some of the things that the price has
been held down. but now they are 60
ing upward. The price of the ord
ment has been much of the time en-
started and the war board got after
the paper mill men, the print papers
of different varieties have been SELL
ing from $3S5 to $3.50 per 100 lbs.
The ordinary newsprint such as the
Republican uses has been sass laid
down here. Now. the war is over.
and the war board is getting of the
job. Now the paper men quote the
prices of this print. Their latest
quotation is $3.50 per 100 lbs. for
paper that has been selling at 1885.
The single fac. that the war board is
getting off the paper price lid, is ele-
waiting the price just II percent.
Newspaper people here can remember
and it has not been a generation ago
either. that newsprint sold for about
two cents a pound where it is now
quoted at 5 u cents.

GOoRBYE TO SPACE GRAFTERs

newspapers, as general PROPOSE
ton, are coming into their own more
and more as the dsys 30 by. There
was time when the average editor
was considered the towns leading
charitable institution, and as such
was pitied and robbed regularly by a
sympathetic but disdainful public
Now he is beginning to be recognized
as necessity, and since he has learn
ed business methods is respected al
most as much as a banker. Which
brings us up to some deep philos-
ophy.
Editors used to be considered fools
generally. and the principal reason
was because they we're easy. Every
body and anybody could tell them
what to put in their papers and what
not to put in. II somebody had a
pet peeve or got into trouble of
some kind he could run to the editor
and get his grievance aired or his
trouble suppressed. Nowadays he
knows that the business of a newspa-
per is to print the news, and If he
doesn't want his name in the paper
every time he gets arrested he simply
quits getting arrested.
In the old days 1t used to be pop
ular indoor pasttime to see how much
free space q fellow could graft OF an
editor. Nobody ever had any money
to pay for any newspaper space in the
old days. If the society for the pre-
vention OF cruelty to young lovers
wanted come propaganda matter run
they appealed to the editors sense OF
charity and got the space. The fact
that this same society. if it wanted
meat or sugar at the grocery store,
had to pay for them never occurred
to the editor who considered newspa-
per space a thing that cost nobody
nothing to make.
In the old days the daily papers
and farm journals in the big cities"
used to send their paper and 5000
worth of advertising to the poor
country editor in exchange for his
four column sheet, with the patent
insides and the poor country dub was
happy because he could have some
thing to read if he didn't have much
to eat. In this issue OF The Re-
publican, the Des Moines Register,
one of the first state papers in the
middle west to realize the value of,
and to use. paid advertising, has a
three column fifteen inch ad. and
Wailaces' Farmer is also carrying an
advertisement. These papers are OF
the higher standard, too. They are
the worthwhile kind.
Last week the Audubon County
Chapter of the American Red Cross
ran half page ad In the Republican
and paid for it. The chapter be-
lieves that such expense should be
distributed over the whole member
ship and not borne by the newspa-
pers or the business men.

ALLIES MAY NOT BE
ABLE no GET KAISER

Friedrich Ebert, socialist premier
of Germany, declared in an interview
Tuesday that he did not know OF
any legal method by which William
Hobenzollern's surrender could be
forced.
81 cannot think of any provision in
law upon which the former emperor
would have to be given up" he said.
But that is not a question which
closely concerns us. We have sep
arated ourselves from him and now
desire only that guilt for the out
break of tho war should be finally
fixed in order that he may he ex
posed, once for all"
As for his view for the future.
Ebert replied:
81 am optimistic. but you must re-
member that our influence upon the
course of events is limited. We can
not create bread for the German peo-
Pile. If the nation Is allowed to
starve, then the inevitable will fol

TO a desperate pass and burst thru
all restraints has been shown by the
experiences of the last year. Our
old system came to the ground as n

P0STOFFECE BUSY PLACE
DURING HOLIDAY SEASON

| There has been big increase in the
parcel post business at the postoffice
The increase has been more mark
ed as the time grew nearer to Christ
mas and packages were being sent
out, many to the boys in different
| camps in the army service.
Postmaster Morrissey says the
principal increase in work and bust
ness at the Office has been in the de-
partmont of insurance on parcel post
packages. Where a year ago the
number OF insured packages would
not number more than a dozen a
month, the average now will come
close to goo per month.
1t the handling Of this type of
package that takes the most time In
quiry must be made as TO contents of
the packages and then the insurance
rate and amount must be looked up
and proper entries made Of record,
etc. All of this takes time.
Then there is the personal element
that enters into the matter of parcels
post packages. Under the postal laws
the post office employees must know
the nature Of goods enclosed in parcel
post packages as there are some art
icles which cannot be thus sent. Then
in the case of insured parcels the
postmaster should know. and has the
right to know, every article that is in
the insured package. This is part
of their business but people make II
a personal issue.
Il never had such a personal ques
ton asked me in my life before" said
woman at the postoffice one day
this week when reporter was there
and she was quizzed as to the con-
tents of package of goods TO be sent
out by insured mail. She did not
know che rules Of the Office aud
thought that the question was being
asked for personal reasons. A mer-
chant became indignant when asked
as to- contents of q package. He
was shown the law and saw that it
was a legal process. These things
go to slow up business and make ser
vice slower.
One thing sure is that the bust
ness at the Dostoffice will be big
this year 1t might be good thing
TO help along the service by answer
ing questions. getting it out of the
system, and then giving place TO
someone else who might be in a hur-
~ to mail something. Postoffice en-
ployees have not the time at this sea-
sorf to stop business to make inquiries
into personal affairs just for the pur-
pose of prying into your business.
There need be so fear of that.

JOHN CREEs HEARD FROM

Mr.. and Mrs. j. IL. Crees received a
MOST welcome letter Tuesday from
their son. John Jr.. from whom they
had not heard for over three months.
He is with the marines and was at the
front in Belgium when the armistice
was signed and took part in the last
big battle of the war. John had
been in the hospital for several
months and the family having not re-
ceived any word from him for sew
eral months were becoming uneasy
about him. but his letter came Tues
day telling the folks that he was well
and was on his way to Germany as
part of the army of occupation. He
said to have lots Of good things cook
ed up when he got home as he would
"eat them out of house and home. ="
Johns many friends are glad to
know that he is all right and will al
so be glad to have him home with
them again. soon.

"R. H." GUNS NEED MORE
CARE IN HANDLING

An observant man of the city has
called the attention Of reporter to a
practice which is a very bad one, and
which is developing among the
boys. This is the season known as
"B B. season among the youngsters
and old guns and premature Christ
mas presents are much in evidence.
The boys fill their mouths with u. b
shots and drop them out OF their
mounts into the barrel of the gun.
Oftentimes they press the triggers
against their bodies and often an
eager buddy" presses himself up too
close for comfort This all goes
with boys of the u. H. gun age but
the practice would result in a badly
difigured boy IL the trigger should
pull and discharge the load. b. Il.
shots are not dangerous at long range
but at close range work disaster.

LONDON EAGER FOR
SIGHT OF WILSON
WHILE MINGLING WITH NOT
ABLES PRESIDENT SEEKS
COMPANY OF SOLDIERS

President Wilson's arrival In Lon
don on public holiday makes II GER
tain that there will be a great gather
ing OF Londoners to welcome him.
The only handicap to would-be OBJ
servers is the fact that this distance
from the radio station into the palace
is so short that it is likely there will
be many persons who will be unbale
witness the passage of the royal and
presidential parties.
A better opportunity to see the
president will be offered the public
when the American executive goes to
the Guild Hall Saturday to receive an
address from the lord mayor of Lon
don.
President Wilson will then traverse
the route the king usually follows
when he visits the city for public
functions-through the Strand and
Fleet street and past St. Paul's CA
thedral. and returning along the
Thames embankment.
Various public bodies have ex-
pressed desire to present President
Wilson with an address. but the
Presidents time in London will be so
enoroached upon for official confer
ences that Il IS not expected he will
be able to receive them.
American organizations In London
are anxious to entertain the president
at dinner or luncheon. but they also
are likely to be disappointed. Il is
expected that the president will find
time for short inspection of some of
the American soldiers still In London.
The diplomatic corps is interested
IN the question of precedence which
VIII prevail at the state banquet. The
general view is that the foreign am
bassadors, as personal representatives
OF their sovereign governments. will
precede all except the king and the
president.
President Wilson will arrive in
Rome on January 3. according to an
announcement made today in the
Italian newspapers.
