The following report taken from
the last issue of the Publishers
Auxiliary is a significant indication
of the condition which the pub
fishers of the eastern metropolitan
magazines are up against, and in Il
somewhat minor degree reflects
similar conditions which are begin
ming to confront the country pub
Usher as well.
The labor condition in the coun-
try districts is not so serious, how
ever, as in the cities, but the con-
tinal rise in prices is more threat
ening. For instance all papers, in

that print will raise at least an
other cent per pound within the
next month.

advanced Ave cents pound to the
country printer during the past
80 days. On top OF these higher
prices for print paper we are also
told that more print paper is being
daily consumed than the mills are
making. Should this condition
prevail any length of time it is
evident many country papers will
be compelled to suspend. No one
can safely predict what may hap
pen, while country publishers who
stay in the game may later be
confronted with but two alterna-
tives- either advance advertising
and subscription rates or go out OF

that some of the largest, publish

this program is carried out. Book

A singular combination of mental aertness
and bodily vigor made DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
notable figure in her day. The resoute quail
ty of her character that sent her to begin a
course in college with only $18 and her moral
courage to support her was exhibited in all her
undertakings. She obtained the educational
training she sought and for all the days of her
life was devoted to the advancement of hu-
mainly in general and the conditions of her sex
in particular. As the foremost advocate of wo-
mans suffrage, she attained wide celebrity dur
ing the closing years of her life, and was per-
mtted to see success attend her efforts. Logi-
cal as reasoner, forceful in argument, skilled
in debate, she was champion of champions in
the battle that ended with the passage of the
suffrage amendment by congress last May. Thus
death was kind to her, coming when her
triumph was fresh. Her services were not alone
in the interest of "votes for women" for she
took part in all the activities of life, and was
granted distinguished service medal for her
part in connection with the Council of National
Defense. One of the really great women of
modern times, she will be sincerely mourned

it would seem that the time had come when
measures be taken to guard against like hap

upon our foresightedness that such an accident
as that at Franklin field should happen.
The wonder is that it has not happened long
before. Death has come, indeed. though in an
other way. Only recently, because our air high
ways are not properly charted and marked,
Captain James, the noted British fier and win
ner of the Globes $1,000 prize for flight from
Atlantic City to Boston, was lost, probably at

Springfield to Boston was forced to the hazard
of landing in Cambridge because the spot where
he had planned to alight was not properly

gerous for people on the ground. The time

Not a Happy Comparison.

The administration champion of the League
of Nations in the senate referred to combina-
ton that existed among certain Indian tribes
in the Fifteenth century as an example Of what
might be expected from the league. The COM
parison is not especially happy. Readers of
American history will hardly look forward with
complacency to the prospect of projecting on
world scale the career of the Five Nations. It's
first and most successful undertaking was to
exterminate weaker tribe, too numerous to be
overcome by either of the members of the allied
group, but an easy victim to the combination.
While carrying on the massacre of the Hurons
and resisting the efforts of the French to ad-
vance up the St. Lawrence, the Five Nations
found opportunity to wage against weaker
peoples to the south and west, and made the
name terror throughout vast region. 1t was
only when the white race had completely con-
quered them that these Indians showed any Of
the traits that have since brought to them
vestige of respect and this mainly from those
who are not Familiarity conversant with their
methods. 1t may be argued that they lived &C
cording to their lights, but they merely exhibited
proof of the fact that strength is quite apt to be
used for purposes not always commendable.
