Daily by mail, per Daily by mail, per Daily by mail, outside of THE STA OUR TEACHERS’ “STRIKE” The Tribune has a world of confidence, in our board of education. We can echo C. L. Young’s assertion that it is the best, or at least equal to the best, that we have ever had. And we are quite ‘content to leave the question presented by the grade teachers who find they cannot live on their present wages in the hands of this board, but we DO hope that the board will find it possible, without imposing too heavy a burden on the tax- payer, to grant the request of these young women for an increase of $100 per annum. A large per- centage of Bismarck’s grade teachers are making their own way in the world, and we must all admit that not much headway can be made on $85 per month, for only nine months out of the year. The humblest winter coat that one of these young women-can buy will cost her more than a month’s salary, and, we aresinformed, the more intimate features of milady’s wardrobe are equally expen- sive. Board, room and! every other item which enters into actual living expenses have increased to a point where anything under $100 per month is hardly a living wage for a girl who must dress reasonably well, take some-part in society, and keep up appearances. And a thousand or two more a year in a city that is as prosperous as Bis- marck is will not be felt greatly. y Wilson is too ill to look after our mountainous troubles, and the other statesmen are too busy climbing mole-hills. ROOSEVELT WEEK Roosevelt week in North Dakota is American- ization week. However we may have disagreed with some of Theodore Roosevelt’s politics, all of us must admit that he was 100 percent plus American. In no one man were so many. of the sterling qualities which we have recognized as typically American so well combined. The’ Tribune regrets that we are to have no Roosevelt programs in our public schools tomor- row. Roosevelt was not only a great American, but he was a loyal Dakotan, a former resident of this state who was proud to style himself “The Medora President.” North Dakota should recip- rocate by giving visible evidence of the esteem in which it held its former citizen. In other states and in other cities in the state Roosevelt week is being made much of. For some reason Bsmarck does not appear to be doing its share in this move- ment, and it is not because the capital city does not reserve a very warm spot in its heart for the great rough rider. Next Monday the whole nation will unite in observing the Great American’s birthday anniver- sary. Perhaps it is not too much. to hope that Bismarck may take!dioté of “Governor ‘Frazier’s request and join with other communities: in the state in a civic outpouring of appreciation for the memory of Theodore Roosevelt. The radicals have a growing faith that they can get away with anything. Germany had that conviction for a time. A great deal is required to get Uncle Sam wide awake, but he is a mean cus- tomer when he gets started. GOOSEBERRY PIE “A boy, yellow hair, red scarf and mittens, on the bobsled, in his lunch box a pork chop sandwich and a V of gooseberry pie.” So sayeth a modern poet, writing of the prairie country of a generation back. And he also says: “O prairie mother, I am one of your boys.” Gawan, you haint neither. You never had a V of gooseberry pie on a bob- sled in your life, brother. Your dramatic sense has erased your mem- ories. On a bobsled you had apple pie, dried probably, or “punkin” pie, or mince pie,.er custard pie— though that was a poor dish for a lunch box—but you had no gooseberry pie. Nor did you have plum pie, or blackberry pie or pie plant pie, or cherry pie.

PASS THE M’NARY BILL QUICK!- There is a shortage of sugar. Government officials and sugar interests be- lieve it is due to hoarding. Hoarding is prompted by the fact that sugar control by the sugar equalization board ends De- cember 31. Because it ends the board cannot pur- chase the Cuban sugar crop of 1920 at the figures of last year and the year previously, when we dealt with the Cuban government, bought the entire crop and so were able to keep the price down and everybody supplied. Senator McNary of Oregon has introduced a bill which is now before the senate committee on agriculture extending sugar control over 1920. It is too late to prevent some rise in prices, be+ cause the Cuban government after offering us the sugar crop, when we failed to take the offer, with- drew it in September, and the Cuban crop—esti- mated at 4,500,000 tons for the next year—is be- ing sold in the open market at high prices. BUT, government officials believe that it will still be possible to reopen negotiations with the Cuban government and buy most of this crop IF WE ACT QUICKLY. The McNary bill is the ONLY HOPE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE OF reasonable price. If you. want sugar in 1920 at a’ reasonable price, BETTER TELL YOUR REPRESENTA- TIVE AND SENATORS TO GET BUSY. They will, if you tell them loudly enough. After our nerves are frazzled by studying new theories, perhaps we shall have sense enough to get back to the wholesome sanity of pre-war days. And if everybody in America would knuckle down to work tomorrow and kepe his mouth shut for ten days, this epidemic of hysteria would be over. Palmer assures us that the cost of food has fallen almost 25 per cent. The cost to Palmer may have fallen that much. The rest of us can’t see any difference. eH oe et a a WITH THE EDITORS | Ce at et tt etter PRINTING COSTS _ The recent consolidation of two daily news- papers in Aberdeen, for the reason that mounting costs of publication made it impossible for both of them to continue in business, is significant .of con- ditions in the publishing world. ie Probably no business has been harder hit by high prices than the publishing business. For example, when the present owners took charge of The Forum a little more than two years ago, they were able to purchase print paper for $1.98 a hun- dred pounds. From ‘present indications the price of print paper next year will be in excess of $6 a hundred, or figuring freight rates approximately $6.14. In other words, the cost of print paper will have more than tripled in less than three years, and even at that figure there is no assurance that the supply will be equal to the demand. When it is considered that The Forum uses approximately 450 tons of print paper in a year, it is not hard to estimate the increased expense of publishing. It amounts to between $35,000 and $40,000 a year for white paper alone, certainly a staggering sum for an institution the size of The Forum to face. Moreover, almost all other ex- penses of publication have increased correspond- ingly. Newspapers have but two things to sell, circu- lation and advertising. There. is a limit to the price people will pay for a daily paper, and when that limit is reached the circulation immediately begins to fall off. There is a limit to the price that advertisers will pay, and .when that limit is reached, the advertisers will begin to cut down their space. eup in the corner of the pound tobacco box. you toted lunch in. 4 Gooseberry pie came in the spring; just after the pie plant had grown tough. Next came cur- rants, red and black, then wild blackberries and plums; then late summer and early fall apples, When such conditions are reached, or in other words, when the mounting, prices restrict the newspaper field as they did in’Aberdeen, then con- solidation or bankruptcy are the only alternatives. These are trying times for publishers in all lines, and during the coming year many’ smaller then winter apples, and’ hog killing time, and mince meat, and headcheese, and)fresh sausage, and home made buckwheat cakes, and sorghum or publications seem doomed to extinction. Perhaps this survival of the fittest process of ‘elimination will relieve the pressure on the others by reducing the consumption of white paper.
