A NEWSPAPER FAMINE
THREATENED

The newspaper business OF this
country and. N fact. the entire printing
industry. is threatened with q more
serious paper famine than has ever YET
bscn experienced and ono which may 4,
any time become SO acute that news
papers in their present form. at least
NAV be temporarily discontinued.
Telegrams from paper centers within
the last few days state that the price
will be cents per pound for news
nr,nt and Is cents per pound for the or
binary cheap book paper. What this
,ooans may be understood when We
state that less than cents n pound was
the average price for news print pr"vi-
Gus 20 1914. and even down to the last
year, the price has only been about
cents per pound. Book paper OF IN"
kind referred 10 sold under normal con-
ditions at about 4 cents per pound.
These excessive prices for news print
and book paper will seriously anect the
costs Of newspapers. No just cause
for these high prices is apparent. and
It may be that the present critical stu
alton will become less acute within a
few weeks. and It may be that the stu
alton will become moro serious. Any
material increase in the present price
Of news print. and permanent price
of or Z cents per pound will nccessi-
tate a complete readjustment Of the
newspaper business. Newspaper pub
Ashers generally have not advanced
subscription prices in anything like the
proportion Of costs. In the city Of
wheeling. for instance, subscription
rates have been advanced so per cent
only. It is evident that present condi-
tons Of publication cannot be continued
indefinitely with the price for the most

THE AMERICAN LEGION

Despite the wide publicity given the
gion. already q proven success. there
seems TO be q great deal Of miSunicr-
standing on the part OF the public and
in fact many cx-scrvicc men. IS TO the
true intent and purpOS% OF the Legion
to the effect that 1t is an organization
controlled by former officers who,
chatting under the withdrawal OF their
power and authority are seeking 10 in
duce the downtroddcn enlisted men TO
come into the fold. 50 they may resume
their outlying tactics under similar
conditions Of lron-clnd discipline that
existed during the war The tale IS
said to be current in this vicinity that
members OF the American Legion may
be called out 70 act "a rikc-brcakcrs
and deputies in Qucl!'ng riots. 1t "a re-
ported that tho American Legion has
gone on TcCoru IL U'IHS H5'N'SN H'4'
unions.
Such designs are so patiently foreign
10 the policy Of thH Legion as 10 De- ut-
tcrly ridiculous and yet they have the
effect Of hinderinE in \ measure the
work OF organizing and getting the en-
hryo posts on sound working basis
In the first place the Legion movement
was inauguratcd in Paris when tcnta-
tive constitution was adopted which
was ratified by caucus held in St
Louis IN May of this year. II grow out
OF "a desire on IN" part ot members OF
the military and naval services Of the
United States in the Great War. to per-
petu.te the principles Of Justice. Free
dom and Democracy. for which they
have fought: TO tnCulcate the duty and
obligation Of tho citizens TO the state:
30 preserve the history and incidents OF
our participation; and TO cement the
ties Of comradeship formed in the SER
vice.
The members Of the American Legion
wear no uniform. They have no drill.
They do not go out to the meetings
carrying n rife and round OF ammuni-
ton. reinforced with trusty cat.
There are no such things "a officers
and enlisted men. The Legion is non
scctarian, non-partisan body and rccog-
nizes no caste or class Members OF
the American Legion who hold public
office arc mot eligible under the consti-
tuition to run for office within the Lodge.
for It is not part Of the plan to coun-
tcnance the exploitation OF the Legion
by inscriptions of!ico-scekers and In
vcteratc politicians. To quote the re-
port Of the St Louis caucus NO big
military figure. no man on horseback.
IS going TO ride out of the late war and
into political prominence using tho
American Legion as his stced." Poll
cics no. politics Is the motto.
The public should get accurate fnfor-
nation about the Legion and make an
effort 10 correct rather than circulate
unrounGcd stories. Though untrue and
absolutely unfoundsd. they serve to
cast unfair reflection on an orEantza-
ton made up OF sincere, outstanding
Americans who believe in n square deal
10 those in every walk Of life and
nothing short Of one hundred percent
Amoricanism, FIRST. last and all the
time.
