High Cost Of Ne.xsnr;p+

Muscatire Journal: The Jour
has been lately informed that T.
price of the newsprint it will receiv.
for the first six months of 1921 VIII
De $l4l per ton, as compared with &
quotation of sos a ton which was thu
price paid this year. Newsprint and
pulp differ from other commodities
now lowering in cost, by virtue o.
the fact that the demand for It still
exceeds the supply, and the decrease
in the visible supply has not been re
duced by replacement.
The importation of European pape:
has lowered the spot market prices
and this alone saved newspapers from
still higher operating costs. Paper is
the most widely used article in news
paper-making. and a 50 per cent. in
crease in its cost precludes any re-
auctions in price because of lowered
production costs.

A PANIC, NOT A FAMINE.

The president Of the Delaware and Hudson
Coal and Railroad companies tells senate COM
mttee that it is "a coal panic and not coal IA
mine which affects the country and that 1T
the people would stop buying coal the price OF
it would break over night" This is excellent
counsel for people with bins full; but the value
of the advice to folk with fires gone out or their
last scuttlefu in sight is not so clear. 1t is no
doubt less serious state of things to be cold
by panic than to be cold by famine. Neverthe-
less both are distressful, and it would be inter-
csting to know who would break the price of
coal over night if the people would stop buying
for that length of time. It would seem that
anybody in position to lower the price of coal
tomorrow could lower it today if so inclined

WHEN THE PAPER DOESN'T

My father says the paper he reads
amt put up right.
He finds lot of fault, he does
perusin' If all night.
He says there amt a single thing in
1t worth while to read,
And that it doesn't print the kind Of
stuff the people need.
He losses II aside and SAYS It's
strictly on the bum
But you ought to hear him holler
when the paper doesn't come.
He reads about the weddin's and he
snorts like all get out,
He reads the social dooin's with a
most derisive shout.
He says they make papers for the
women folks alone.
He'll read about the parties. and
he'll funne and fret and groan;
He says Of information it doesn't
contain a crumb -
But you ought to hear him boiler
when the paper doesn't come.
He's always first to grab it and he
reads it plumb clean through,
He doesn't miss an item or a want
ad-that is true.
He says they don't know what we
want, the durn newspaper guys.
I'm going to take day sometime an
go an put 'em wise;
Sometimes it seems as thoueh ,hev
must be deaf and blind and
dumb
But you ought to hear him hoIler

through their research committee Of

chairman, have been investigating the
status of bills pending in congress in
which women have more than pas

are attracting the attention of the

of more import than the others, ac-
cording to the report of Mrs. Tomlin-

: Sheppard Towner bill for public
protection of maternity and infancy.
The bill to prevent child labor and
regulate school attendance in the
District of Columbia, Of which Rep.
resentative Gard is one of the authors
Rogers bill-providing that no wom-

lose her citizenship by marrying an
alien, and that no alien woman shall

And send him unseen this friendly greeting -

A HOME FOR THE VICE PRESIDENT.

Few patriotic citizens will oppose the bill pre-
pared by Senator Elkins, Of West Virginia,
providing for the purchase by the nation of a
home for the vice president. The only objec-
ton that can be rased to the measure is the
sum fixed for the cost of the home, three hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars. This, however,
is only matter of detail and in these times OF
excessive building costs the figure may not BE-
excessive, especially for Washington, where the
home will have to be erected. Discussion OF
the bill in the senate will be very likely to re-
suit in the fixing of lower figure.
For a nation of the size and importance of
ours to allow the man that holds the Office sec
ond in rank in our land, and that may succeed
to the first, to shift for himself when he goes to
Washington to assume his Duties is highly dis
creditable. Senator Elkns says it is ''humili-
ating to the American people, Most of us
will be inclined to disagree with him. 1t should
be humiliating to them, but the ajority do not
feel the humiliation very keenly. No other ma
ton treats is high officials so coldly as does
ours. 1t is fitting and proper that the presi
dent and vice president of the republic should
be provided with homes during their term Of
office. The dignity of their positions and the
dignity of the nation both demand it.
