New York newspaper publishers who testified yester-
day before senate committee investigating the white
print shortage it their opinion that the best way
to stop the profteerng in newspaper is for publishers
to stop competitive bidding Good advice, no doubt
and easy to give after has his fully
cred as the result of an active buying campaign the
open market. But there is no real newspaper in the
country which would be willing to take such advice
The owners of the most Insignificant inland daily are no
more anxious to close their plant than are the
porations which own the big city papers. And that is
precisely what would happen if attempt were made
to take the New York advice while the market is
in the present condition Newspapers will go on paying
the price as long they get paper And when they
get out toward the crackg they are going to stop
talking and fooling with futile congressional nvesga-
lions and get right after the proeers a2d the big
papers which are suspected of boarding paper

lie credit for contributing its I'm quota
ana more to the Red Cross war fund
g. Warren II. McCray has received
credit for contributing the whole of
Newton County's quota which, IN reality,
was contributed by about 1900 members
of the chapter.
4 Unwarranted criticism ana suspicion
has been created by the officers Of the
chapter because they cannot provide an
accounting for funds which Mr.. McCray
handled exclusively and for which be
refused to account to them.
The incident is not regarded By New
ton Gounty's citizens as indicative of
any improper use Of the Red Cross funds.
But Is regarded as conclusive proof Of
a disposition on the part of Mr.. Nc
Cray to take unto himself credit for
philanthropy to which he is not en-
titled and credit which could only be OBJ
tanned by creating unjust reflections on
his neighbors.
It is for this reason that Warren T.
McCray's candidacy for Governor is none
too popular among Red Cross workers

Becomes Popular


No complexion treatment yet discovered

Immediately popular Gs the mercolized
wax process, Evidently the reason is that
this method actually gets rid of a bad
complexion, which can hardly be said of
any other. To temporarily hide or bleach
the defective skin with cosmetics cannot
compare with the effect Of literally remov-
ing the skin itself. MercoIized wax takes
off the offending surface skin in -four like
particles, q little at a time, until there's
none of it left, The new complexion thus
produced exhibits q healthy glow and

a fatal biunder. He dined with Jay
Gould. a fact which the Democrats seized,
upon to show his intimacy with the
Napoleons Of finance in Wall street. That
dinner undoubtedly cost Blaine many
votes
But the climax was reached in the
Burchard incident. Mr.. Blaine had been
accused of so many horrible things that
it was thought wise to have delegation
Of prominent clergymen call on him to
show the country that the Protestant
ministers of New York trusted him. Mr..
Blaine received the delegation on tho
grand stairway at the old Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The address on the part of the
delegation was delivered by Dr.. Burchard,
an aged Brooklyn preacher. At its close
came the fatal phrase in describing the
evils against which Blaine stood: Rum,
Romanism and Rebellionl"
USE OF THREE WORDS
RESULTS IN DISASTER.
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" The
Democrats took it up on the instant. al
though Mr.. Blaine delayed whole day
in disclaiming sympathy with this speech.
There were but two days until election,
then, and the disclaimer did not reach
the voters. In New York there were GER
tain inscriptions ward-workers who
told the tale that Blaine himself had de-
nounced the triple evils Of Rum, Ro-
manism and RebelIioni"
Despite the FRANTIC efforts OF the Re-
publican legions, despite their bitter de-.
nunciation of the Democrats, the fatal
ALTERATION got in Its work. Many good
Catholics who had been persuaded to
turn from their Democratic leaning to
vote for Blaine changed their minds again
and voted the straight Democratic ticket.
1t was in the days of the aseendancy
OF the Irish vote In New York
Either the Conkling detection in-Oneida
County. the Burchard break, the st. John
Prohibition vote. or the Butler vote was
sufficient to turn the scale. II any one
had of these things had not happened,
If the vote lost by any one had been
saved to the Republicans, Blaine would
have been elected and Grover Cleveland
never would have been heard Of in ma
tional affairs. By such trifes, accidents
and animosities are the affairs OF Re

Blaine made a stumping tour Of the
Middle West and was welcomed as few
men have ever been. There was no doubt
IN the minds Of either Republicans or
Democrats that he had made many votes
for himself, and that he had swung the
tide in his favor. On his way back East
he stopped IN Indiana to visit his sis.
ter, who was Mother Superior in a Ro-
man Catholic Convent. This called atten.
ton to the fact that his mother and sis
ters were devout Catholics, and was
liable TO inject a religious issue into the
campaign.
Instead Of going directly to his home

THE CRETE ISLANDS
ANCIENT GROUP NOW DEMANDS
ATTENTION OF CONFERENCE.

The Royal Geographical Society of
London is becoming an interesting
arena for the discussion of geographic
cal, not TO say political, problems
these days. A month ago the Spanish
ambassador, Senior Merry del Val,
brother Of the Cardinal, demonstrated
SPANS claims and ambitions in Nor
Deco, and later Prof Myres gave an
interesting lecture on the Dudekanese.
Very few people know what that term
covers. 1t covers the group of twelve
islands off the coast of Crete, includ-
ing Patmos and Rhodes.
In speaking of these, Prof. Myres
gave some interesting details of the
work of the Knights of St. John,
whom he described as the fighting
rear-guard of Christian civilization.
But the surprise of the evening came
at the finish when Mons. Venizelos,
the Greek patriot who was present
rose to speak, and said the islands
were Greek and nothing but Greek
Both Mons. Venizelos and Prof. Zeros
chief Of the Dudekanese Mission to
1.-THE Peace Conference, who followed
him, expressed the hope that the
group would soon again be reunited to
Greece, with which they had affinity
during the whole 5000 years of their
civilization At present the islands
rest under Italian protection, so here
| Is another bone Of contention.
