HIGH COST OF PUBLISHING.


Livingston Enterprise)
While the last few months have
brought relief from high prices in
nearly every line, the anomalous thing
has been the steadily rising costs
which publishers and printers are still
facing AS yet no relief is promised
and predictions of still higher prices
for news print paper are common Be
cause the general public does not come
in direct contact with things of this
sort appreciation of the publishers
problems has not been apparent. While
the home had to meet until recently
increases averaging approximately 100
per cent over the pre-war level, the
publisher has had to take care of in
creases ranging from 300 to 500 per
cent. To meet this situation most Of
the newspapers were forced to in
crease their advertising and subscrip-
lion rates but the increase was in no
sense comparable with the greater
,osts.

I great leaders lived to witness the

to their countrymen. Gardner lived
long enough to demonstrate the genu-
ineness and virility of his patriotism
by resigning his seat in congress and
donning his country's uniform. Roose-
welt ate his heart out in enforced re-
straint of his militant, martial spirit
because petty, unworthy jealousy in
the White House kept him from join

there have been times, particularly
here in the west. when through the

BUTLER POINTS OUT WEAKNESS
OF PRESENT. DAY SCHOOLS.

In his annual report to the trustees
of Columbia university, President
Nicholas Murray Butler makes a Sc
we're arraignment of our educational
system, from the grades through to
the finished college product He says
"it would be idle to ignore the wide
spread dissatisfaction with the results
.os present-d day education" He calls
attention to the change in public atti-
tude toward the schools Formerly
whatever was done in the name of ed
ucation was regarded in the same
light as philanthropy and religion, to
be accepted without a murmur. This
acquiescent disposition will no longer
continue in the presence of the many
signs that education does not necess-
arily educate" Continuing. DR.. But
Ter says:
The ruling passion just now is
not to know and to understand
but to get ahead, to overturn
something, to apply in ways that
bring material advantage some bit
of Information or some acquired
skill Both school and college
have in large part taken their
minds off the true business of ed
cation, which is to prepare youth
to live. and have fixed upon them
something which is very subor-
dinate namely how to prepare
youth to make a living"
He believes that we are passing
through a period of educational re-
ction which viii spend its force, as
eriods of reaction have heretofore,
nat he points out that for a quarter of
century the educational practice in
merican schools has steadily lost its
old upon the true guiding principles

WANT WESTERN MAN FOR SEC
RETARY OF INTERIOR.

While in Washington following his
return from Panama, President elect
Harding conferred informally with
western men and expressed his desire
to select the right western man for
secretary of the interior. A western
man is generally selected for this po-
stion, for the business of the interior
department is chiefly in connection
with western affairs At this time
particularly there are several big
questions coming up which directly
concern the settlement and develop
ment of the west, and it is necessary
that the new secretary should be a
man who has the western viewpoint
and who is moved by the progressive
spirit of the west. The mining sec
tions are directly concerned, for the
bureau of mines and geological sur
vey are under the jurisdiction of the
secretary of the interior Plans are
being worked out for a more COM
prehensive and efficient reorganiza-
ton of the mining interests possibly
in the form of a division of mines and
geology within the interior depart
ment, and it is desirable to have a
secretary who will understand the
advantage of this change and support |
il. We should have a secretary who (
will stand for the rights of the miner I
as against the obstructing policy of /
the forestry bureau. Perhaps the .
most important question now con-
corning the west is the reclamation
Of arid lands in various states, and
this progressive policy should have
the benefit of a western man at the
head of the interior department who
IS familiar with western conditions
and whole heartedly in favor of the
exclamation policy.
Senator Borah was one of the vest
IN senators with whom President
'lect Harding discussed the selection
on secretary of the interior. Ac- +
ording to a statement by the Idaho (
enator. the president elect is looking I
or the right man in the west, and if

strong man. one who has had
such wide experience in western
affairs as to assure his knowledge
of western problems and western
views. and also his capacity as a

will in all probability be appoint

There's a row of little faces every
night outside the store
Where they never draw the curtains
when the Waterman locks the door.
Eager wistful little faces, looking at
the heaps of toys
That will bring a Merry Christmas to
a host of girls and boys.
Every night they stand there watch
ing tattered children, in a row,
Looking at the only Christmas that
they possibly can know.
Look them over, Mr.. shopper, when
you walk down town tonight
Thin and hungry little children, Dor
rowing a brief delight
From the wonders of a Christmas
which to them is just a dream,
Just swiftly passing vision of how
happiness might seem.
And perhaps. when you have seen
them you will hunt up Santa Claus,
For they sadly need somebody who
knows how to plead their cause.
Santa Claus has swarms of children
on his Christmas calling list
But he'll add a few names to it if you
see him and insist.
Help the old man out a little-he'll be
glad to add your mite
TO the fund that he's investing in the
spreading of delight.
And these little wistful children will
be grateful all the year
For their share, so long denied them,
of the blessed Christmas cheer.

Attorney General Palmer declared in a

tive Davey. Democrat. of Ohio.

of my attitude toward the so-called
Graham and Sterling sedition bills has
gone out through the press, said Mr..
Palmer. MY position in regard to Sc

it has been since | first submitted in
