: Another material 1ise in the price Of
print paper issimminent unless there lis
serious fault with what seems to. be a
common sense Interpretation Of the
significance Of current Developments
The; price of print paper is now down
to about three times what it was before
the World war. 1t has come down
from about eight times the pre-War
level. Along with mounting demands
that the paper makers made on the pa
per users, the workers in the pulp mills
demanded and secured better wages
and shorter hours. With the decline
Of general business there was a slack
ening in the demand for paper apd
prices dropped off to their present lev
els. They are still too high. Either
that or they were not nearly hlgh
enough before the war. Anyhow. the
paper makers recently served notice on
the workers in the paper mills that
they must submit to reduction of 80
per cent in wages and work, nine IN
stead of eight. hours. representatives
Of the workersion last Saturday decld-
ed that they would do nothing of the
kind, and their action will be submit
ted to- the workers for adoption or re-
lection. If the workers r;;tify the ac-
ton of their representatives the paper
mills will all shut down. That is just
what they want to do. 1t Is their de-
sire to curtail supply so as to check
falling prices, and if they succeed OF
course, the public will have to pay
more where it is already paying enough.

blow in on other things that were ap-
pealing. to his prosperous dreams.
When the deflation pressure reached
the pinching point and people quit buy
ing for lack Of money, the prapagan-
dists raised the cry Of consumers
strike"
With the rapid advance Of cotton
and foodstuffs, it was nothing but nat
ural that farmers who were already
farming should be stimulated to great
er activitS% For the same reason 9TH
Fers who had given up farming in de-
spair went back into the business, and
also fnbdh speculative capital became
thus engaged. But with the decline in
prices speculative capital .retreated, the
returned farmers had quit again and
the regular .farmers Ywere relegated
back to their originals' status. :..:. :.
! rhodusarnds Of farmers, near-farmers
and. tspeculators have been ruined.
Others are carrying a heavy, load.
There are thousands and. hundreds of
thousands: throughout the country who
have on their hands their last years
crops which have shrunk in price far
below the cost Of production, and who
are simply on the anxious bench, con-
cerned over the proposition whether
they can hold on until they can get
their money back. Most Of them have
long since given up all hope Of profit.
So far as the strike among the farm
ers Of this section is concerned, the
idea is absurd. If they are not plant
ing as much as they planted last year
it is because their means are tied up in
the crops they already have on hand,
andctfley are unable to get the where
with to plant another crop. They have
no notion Of strike. On the contrary
the will and desire Of nine out of ten.is
to produce more regardless Of the fact
thatsthere. is no market for what. they
already have.
There is going to be some cotton re-
duction in the south; but very little of
it Is going to be voluntary. The only
reason that the average would-be cot
ton producer will plant less acreage is
because he is unable to plant more. He
simply will not believe that there Is
more cotton in the world than the
mills Of the world can spin, and he per-
sists in believing that when the
trade in cotton goods picks up he will
be able to sell his raw cotton at a fair
price regardless Of the tremendous sur
plus.
The, producer of foodstuffs is very
probably in the same boat.
But this talk Of strike Of the farm
crs. Bosh!

The death Of James Jones, negro
servant of Jefferson Davis, the other
day, revivcs the old story to the effect
that he was the only living man who
had the secret OF the whereabouts Of
the Great Seal of the Confedcracy.
The story was pure romance from the
beginning. AS q matter Of fact the
Great Seal Of the Confederacy IS OF no
Importance except as n relic, and has
not been since AppomattoN; but few

Special judges are appointed by the

not appoint a special judge on his own

Washington, instead of Paris the caD-
tai Of, the world. Mr.. Wilson. seemed
to have the idea that Paris was the
place. from which. America could best
exert her influence on world affairs,
and that is supposed % be the reason
why he attended the peace conference
in person. I;ut the new administration
is proceeding on the assumption that
since America is the greatest world
nuwcr Washington is the city in which
world affairs can he most effectively
discussed. To all appearances too,
Secretary Of State Hughes is to handle

It is pretty eviden. that the Wash

japan the control Of the Island OF zap

il from the Germans. The United

land Of zap and it does not intend To
hold such station by suffrage OF the

should japan be allowed to hold every
