TEUTON DELEGATES FORCED TO ENTER
SIDE DOOR IN ORDER THAT GUARD OF
HONOR MIGHT ESCAPE SALU7ZNG THEM
To Journal Readers:

The Morning Journal and the Evening Herald have ad
vanced the wages of printers both papers $3.50 day
above the scale of prices agreed upon and which had
other year to done voluntarily by the papers,
because the cost of living advancing and because
papers every other section of the country have been
compelled to make like advances Both the Journal and
the Herald have advanced their prices to subscribers
fifteen cents month.
The Journal pays its printers $500 day for eight
hours of work.
But prices have advanced all along the line The price
of white paper has increased until it costs the Journal
approximately eighty dollars day, though purchases
made for cash at the factory the Associated Press report
costs $133 week; the telegraph service has increased
twenty per cent and larger advance has been made for
the telephone service Both of these items into large
monthly figures Our special correspondence, and the
features and reports from the New York World from the
International and the Star feature services also make
heavy drain.
1t costs the Journal merely to get ready to print sim
gle paperbut without figuring in cent for print paper
1920 To that must be added about eighty dollars for
the white paper of the issue, we'll the expenses of
wrapping and the postage the carrier service for
delivery.
In other words it costs the Morning Journal average
of $500 every day to exist
Much of this expense could be avoided by giving to
readers inferior paper Believing that they want the
Journals standard maintained, have been obliged to
advance the price.

BIPARTISAN
LEAGUE PROGRAM
SAFELY LEADING

Grand Forks. n. D., June 2S.-With
less than 400 precincts to hear from
of the 1888 in the state, the seven
non-partisan league laws voted on
last Thursday have been ratified by
the voters by a majority of from
5000 to 10000. according to present
returns. The vote now stands as fol-
lows For the laws, 42.329; against,
40.9S9.
An analysis of the vote discloses
that in the eastern counties. notably
in the Red river valley. where the
farmers have experienced unprece-
dented prosperity because of big crops
and high prices, the bipartisan
league has lost heavily as compared
with the last election. In six coun-
ties bordering the Red river the
league has had a net loss of 2,400,
almost entirely in the rural districts,
while the next tier of counties west of
the river shows a loss in league
strength of 1,400 compared with the
November election.
In the northwestern section of the
state, where four successive crop fall
ures have occurred, the league has
retained its strength and in some in
stances has added numbers.

President Wilson was appealed to

however, he Concurred in the decision
of the conference that the Chinese
might make declaration of their po-

This was regarded by the delega-
