Price on Print
Paper Soaring

Print paper took an advance Of
$40 a ton few weeks ago above
what it had been selling for, and in
dications are that it will go higher
this month.
Publishers are admonished to ex-
ercise rigid economy in the use Of
print paper, and it is now announced
that the strigency may be so great
that even the 1920 contracts cannot
be filed, saying nothing Of current
orders thruout the year for what is
called "spot" delivery.
Following the armistice large ship
ments of print paper were shipped
abroad some print paper mills shut
down to make repairs, some were
oyerhauled and fitten out for max
ing compoboard, pulpboard and other
products used in building and to take
the place of wooden boxes for pack
ing and shipping merchandise and
for cartons Of all kinds, and some
mills have been hampered by labor
conditions, so the total output of the
paper mills has been decreasing
faster than newspapers have been
going out of business, and the
stringency still confronts those re-
naming in business.

PROFESSOR TAKES STAND
AGAINST GOVERNOR DAVIS
Argues That Other Means of Preventing Wars
Have Been Futile. Declares Thrty-two
League Members are all Trustworthy
SACRIFICES MADE TO PREVENT WARS

Prof. James A. Langton, super
intendent of the Shelley schools ad-
dressed an audience of 100 persons
at the high school auditorium Tues
day night, replying to Governor
Davis, who delivered an address here
last week on the League of Nations.
Governor DaEis is very much opposed
to the league covenant as 1t now
stands and Professor Langton is
equally emphatic in its favor.
He opened his address by saying
that when the governor spoke in
Blackfoot, he merely made lot OF
assertions and that anybody could
make assertions. He did not present
any arguments against the league
and that those who had read the re-
port Of his address as published in
the Idaho Republican had a clearer
conception of what the governor
meant than those who were there
and heard him. Professor Langt0n
spoke in part as follows:
'The cost of the war has been
great, but the cost of war has multi
piled tremendously in modern
times. Political economists had been
saying for twenty years that war
has become SO expensive it is out Of
the question but when the Germans
broke loose in Europe the matter of
cost did not prevent the war. It had
been said that civilization would not
permit of another war, but civiliza-
tion did not prevent the war. 1t had
been said that Christianity had such
a hold upon the people Of the earth
that it would make war Impossible,
but Christianity ddi not prevent the
war. The laboring man was. SO well
organized it was expected that labor |
would prevent any future wars, but
even labor was powerless to prevent
It. 1t had been said that capital
made money out Of war and might
1t; it was also said that
capital suffered most at war and
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-10-10

would not permit it, but in neither
standpoint did capital succeed in pre-
venting the war. The socialists Of
the world were SO we'll organized
in the leading nations and they were
so opposed to war it was expected
that they would prevent it, but even
their united powers, stretching their
hands across the national boundaries
and across the seas, d idnot prevent
the war. 1t was said that the women
of the world have always been the
greatest sufferers and have made the
greatest sacrifices in war; that they
alone know the real suffering and
cost of human life, but they were un-
able to prevent the war. 1t was. said
that the treaty existing between the
leading nations of the~earth, provid-
ing for arbitration of differences,
would prevent another war, but
when Germany treated these as a
scrap of paper, treaties did not pre-
vent the war. 1t was said by some
that diplomats and International law
and their understandings and faith
of one nation to another would pre-
vent war, but these did not succeed.
Neither did all the powers of the
press of the world prevent war.
Now that the war is over and all
the nations of the earth have hor-
ror of war and are all devoutly wish
ing that there might. be no more
wars; now that there is no place left
on the earth where any one would
safely offer justification for the war,
a document intended to bring the
leading nations to aline of action to
prevent war is offered for adoption
and the American people, the great
est and most enlightened nation in
the world, is hesitating about adopt
Ing 1t and some of their representa-
tives in the highest legislative body
In the world, are bitterly opposing
It and denouncing it.

Routine Matters
Defective Sidewalks to Be Repaired
at Once. Cemetery Avenues to
be Turned Into Lots

The Tuesday evening session Of the
city council was used as a general
round-ip OF routine matters. Action

Certain grounds in the cemetery

time the street commissioner has
authority to order the work done and
charge the expense to owners.
The hose cart made superfiuous by
the purchase of the new fire truck,
which was under sale arrangements
1t the freight depot pending the de-
cision Of the Aberdeen village coun-
Gil, has been ordered sold by the
railroad company, and Mayor Thors-
tenberg was given authority to buy
It in at. the sale unless Aberdeen
should complete its arrangements
of purchase.
Firemen and Siren
Fire Chief Fred Simon reported to
the council that the bill of $4,000
for the electric siren which indi-
Gates the exact noon hour each day
and will give fire warnings, will be.
taken care of by the firemen them
selves.
The fire department has fund Of
its own in which there is now nearly
5000, and will raise additional money
to pay for the siren by means of en-
tertainments.
