THE BEST FRIENDS.

Sidney Dark, in John O'London's
Weekly: When once the love of
books has come into mans life he
can never be lonely, he can never be
bored, he can never lose his interest
IN life, he can never be quite unhappy
Books are the friends that never fail.
and the men and women that only live
in books are the best and the most
real friends of all.
The happy life is not spent alto
gether in the world of streets and
shops and Offices A large part OF it
must be lived in the world of imagi-
nation. And living with the imagin-
ings of great writer's, we, too, learn
to dream and the happiest homes in
the world are the castles in the air
that we build for ourselves. They
are, indeed. the only homes the foun-
dations of which are unsuitable rocks

II has not taken Governor Cox long to blum
der into aneexceedingly uncomfortable position
from which his political aides cannot help HIM
ont NOR does he seem able to help himself. AS
the matter stands, his veracity is impugned-
He made sensational charges which he has fail
ed to substantiabe; and if he cannot prove his
assertions all that he can do is to plead that he
was deceived and.misled. In that event ne Will
have to show how and by whom and convince
the public that the. information ON which he
acted was such as to- Justify a levelheaded man
in making baseless charge. The governor Is
clearly in trouble and probably at his wits end
to find way out of his dilemma His national
chairman and national treasurer have admitted
that thew cannot help him prove his csc. They
had no evidence, they said, and pointed to the
candidate as the only man who possesses it. 1t
rests upon Governor Cox to establish the charge
he made, and it is the belief of a great many
people that the senate investigating committee
has treated him with too much leniency in fail
ing 70 call him as a witness.

Minneapolis Tribune: The re-
cent increase in subscription
price and advertising rates OF
newspapers has put publishers
on the defensive against the
charge of being profiteers. The
facts in the case justify their de-
Tense. Their production cost, the
principal elements OF which are
wages and newsprint, has in
creased in a greater proportion
than that of almost every other
industry. A newspaper requires
the highest class of skilled labor,
including not only its heads OF
departments, but also its en-
ployes in it's editorial. compos-
ing-room, press-room, 5stereotyp-
ing and other departments. Its
payrolls have recently been in
creased by % per cent. to 90 per
cent. or more. Without a sub
stantia1 increase in income this
increase in labor-cost alone would
bankrupt most newspapers.
But other increases in cost
have to be met, which are pc
culiar to the newspaper at the
same time that they are excep-
tionally heavy. The cost Of post
age has been increased to that
extent that the average news
paper is now delivered by mail
beyond the second zone at
cost, in some instances. of twice
the subscription rate received;
and many newspapers have been
compelled to cut off their coun-
try circulation. Most metropoli-
tan newspapers are now discour-
aging any extension of country
circulation as against the previ-
Gus persistent campaign for an
increase in that field.
The greatest burden, however.
of the newspaper, is the result
Of the recent unprecedented leap,
in the price of newsprint paper.
Within the past seven years the
price of newsprint, under stand
ard annual contracts, has jumped
from $40 per ton, or less, to 500
per ton. But the increase in de-
nland has become greater than
production capacity. The ailot-
ments which paper mills can
make to their regular customers
at the standard contract price
are increasingly insufficient to
meet requirements and the sup
ply of newsprint in the paper
market is inadequate to supply
the required excess over contract
quantities and at the same time
to supply that great number of

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The
fact that he has presented nothing to
substantiate his wild talk will not
stop Mr. Cox. He will go trailing
through the country talking just the
same. He will repeat the same
statements-one hates to call them
lies out of respect for the Office for
which he has been nominated by a
great party-and he will keep it up
to the end. There is in him little
sense Of responsibility. a bluff is as
good as bet and bet is the best
argument.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Mr.. Cox had to get away from his
chiefs and managers to find anyone
willing to support his bunk and his
for the "bayonet" foolishness.
Webster City Freeman-Journal: We
believe the campaign policy OF Sena-
tor Harding-adhering 70 his front
porch addresses and making few
speeches in a few cities-is better
than Governor Cox's plan of constant
travelling and speechmaking. Some
may think Mr.. Harding doesn't talk
enough, but all will agree. we believe,
before the campaign is over, that Gov
ernor Cox talks too much.
Knoxville Journal: 1t is cold day
when the democratic candidate for
president of the United States doesn't
call someone a liar" AS one promi-
inent Knoxville democrat admitted the

NEWSPAPERS NOT PROFITEERS

publishers who buy their news
print in the transient market
The result is that within the
past year transient prices for
newsprint have gone to the pres
ent figure of $3.50 per ton. or
over 600 per cent. increase on
the price of seven years ago and
$50 per cent. over the standard
contract price fixed in December,
1919, for the year 1920. The re-
suit in newspaper productions
cost can be judged by the fact
that a metropolitan daily with,
say, 100000 circulation, requires
around 10000 tons Of newsprint
per year, and that an increase
of only 500 ton raises it's an
nual production-cost by 5000 600.
The price of newsprint today is
5000 a ton in England, $3.50 in
Sweden, and $500 in France, and,
for transient lots, $3.50 in the
United States. AS pointed out
by r. S. kellogg, secretary of
the newsprint service bureau,
the present shortage of paper is
not due to decreased production.
but to increased consumption,
and with little prospect Of relief
in the near future.
Increases in subscription and
advertising rates are, therefore,
compulsory. While such increase
in rates have not generally been
anywhere near in proportion to
the increased production-cost, it
is mistake to assume that the
newspapers income is increased
to the full extent Of its increase
in subscription and advertising
rates. An increase in advertising
rates does not mean the same
percentage of increase in income,
either upon normal or abnor-
NAL amount of advertising pub
lished. Every increase In adver-
Using space means more news
print, more postage, more compo-
sition cost-all on an enormously
Increased basis. There is hardly
a metropolitan newspaper which
is not, as to many or all of its
issues, rejecting advertisements,
even at the increased advertising
rates, in order to keep its pro-
ducticm-cost, especially that OF
its newsprint. within the limits
Of its financial resources.
Increase in newspaper subscrip-
ton and advertising rates is,
therefore, not profiteering de
vice on the part Of the publish
ers. 1t is a necessary means of
self-preseryation.
