NO SHORTAGE OF PAPER.

There is no shortage of newsprint
paper. There is more paper on the
markets than ever before. This in
formation was secured by personal
investigation through correspondence.
The mill tonnage is all taken and
the mills are unable to supply the
demands being made upon them. This
leads the manufacturers to believe
that there is real shortage of pa
per existing in the country, which is
absolutely untrue.
The wholesale supply houses tell
you that "there is no paper to be had,
and they force you to pay the enor-
NOUS high price-if you get The pa
per. But if you have the money and
can afford to pay the price you can
get all the paper you want.
The facts are: The jobbers Of
the country have cornered on the out
put of the mills, knowing that by SO
doing (and all sticking together) they
can command price that will make
them immensely rich within a short
time. 1t is case of profiteering, and
the Department of Justice should get
in behind those fellows and place
them behind the bars. 1t is abso-
lutely nothing short of robbery.
Wrapping paper has always sold
for more than news print, until re-
GENTLY when the entire output of news
was cornered on. Then newsprint
sheets jumped five cents pound
higher than wrapping paper.
All Investigations by our so-called
Congress were stopped and the cur
tains have been drawn between the
general public and jobbers. When
remedy for this was offered Congress
was ready to adjourn and no action
was taken.
If President Wilson had done his
duty he would have Immediately call
ed an extra session of congress and
held it in session until legislation
necessary to relieve the paper situa-
ton could have been had. But like
many other mistakes the president
has made, little attention was given
the matter.
One thousand newspapers have been
forced out of business since the prices
on newsprint paper advanced out of all
reason, forcing millions Of dollars
worth of property to waste.
The approaching conditions We're
apparent months before the crisis
came, and Congress was appealed to-,
but it merely winked at the suffer-
ing public. This editor wrote the
Hon. Hubert Stephens, congressman
from the second district Of Missis-
sippi. and he did not possess the COM
mon courtesy in his makeup to even
reply to our letter. It is this type of
man that has figured so largely in
bringing about the existing cendi-
tions.

NO MANDATE FOR ARMENIA

the license, the money and the power
for all these things are embraced
in his proposal-to exercise man
date for Armenia merits from the
legislative branch of the American
Government not much more than a
respectful hearing. The scheme OF
internationalism itself deserves nc
mercy at all.
This government and this natio
need to get our own affairs in order
before we set ourselves up IN the
business of trying to manage the at
fairs of anybody else, East or West.
Managing the affairs of Armenia
means becoming tangled up with the
affairs of eastern Europe. Becom-
ing tangled up with eastern Europe
would mean becoming rangIed up
with pretty much the whole Of the
Old World. This is exactly what
they all over there wan, TO get US
into-get us into it up to our necks.
Then they will take gooG care that
we shall never be able to get our
selves out.
Mr.. Wilson regards it as providen-
tial that the conference of statesmen
at San Reno made this appeal to
him. All the rest Of us can regard
it as providential that the american
people and the United States Con-
gress are agreed that while Europe
is settling it's own business we should
continue to devote ourselves to the
job of settling our own business.
