WHERE LIES THE BLAME?

Relief from newsprint and job pa
per shortage-we were going to say
extortion-is of far more import
ance to publishers and printers than
any other political question.
1t has also convinced the victims
of the holdup that congressional
commissions and political palaver
amount to nothing as against organ
lied greed and profiteering.
1t has also proven to the most
skeptical that the so-called free
trade or duty-free paper can be con-
troled by the middle men.
A Portland, Ore, card printing
house states that the cost of 100
ordinary cards 2 x 3h inches has
gone up SO cents within sixty days
and other stock in proportion.
If this is true the advance is out
rageous and cannot be laid at the
doors of the manufacturers. but is the
work of paper jobbing trusts that
control distribution.
There is no doubt that the news
paper and job offices are being held
up outrageously by some of the firms
that control the distribution of pa
per stock.
More paper mills, more production
relief from labor shortage, strikes
and agitation against capital are pol
icies that are to be advocated. but
the midleman's robbery must be
curbed.
The house journal of a big paper
jobber says of the public: They
should accept the increased rates in
a public spirited way" Holy smoke,
we should be thankful that the little
pack of calling cards has not advanc-
ed a dollar.-Exchange.

DELIGHTFUL VISIT TO
PARIS PHOSPHATE NINE

Several days ago the Misses Jessie
Beebe, Helen Davis, Hildegarde Oh
sen, Faith Downs, Gladys Barbour
and Alma Wentz, accompanied by w.
b. Trowbridge, made a trip to the
Western Phosphate Company's mine
operated by j. A. McIlwee and sons
at Paris. They were met at the sta
ton by Pop" Flanagan, superinten-
dent of railway construction, with
the "dikey' engine and flat car. At
ter boarding the latter the happy par
ty were taken over the new railroad
as far as tn steam shovel, where Mrs.
Flanagan met them and invited all
to partake of a splendid dinner pre-
pared for them by famous chef at
the construction camp. All pronoun,
ced the culinary effort as perfect.
After number of exciting and inter-
esting trips over the right of way,
not yet completed, Mr.. and Mrs.
Flanagan with some of the engineers
conducted the party to the mine
where the McIlwee office is situated.
Mr.. Ray McIlwee, general manag-
er of the mine, then took them all
through the mine with its many
slopes and cross cuts and was unable
to stump" the ladies in the diff
cult climbs undertaken. The MANY
machines, compressors and blowers
were viewed and finally the snow
sheds, bins and mill were inspected.
The wonderful development was a
marvel to all concerned. Next came
the powder magazine and the corrals
for the mules. The latter are trained
to haul large steel cars loaded with
ore and material in and out of the
mine to the mill where the ore Is
treated and prepared for shipment.
The entire party were reconducted
to the main office building where
again a wonderful repast was in read
mess for them.
The way the hungry souls fell"
for the chefs wonderful viands
brought out the remarks from Man
ager McIlwee that you behave your
selves like regular miners. Every
one of your is hired"
Afterwards games, dancing and mu-
sic took up the time until late in the
evening, when a four mule team
brought the party back to town in
bobs. The ladies all exclaimed that
they had the time of their lives.
