Representative Snapp recent- an interyiew: “Itseems to 1 lat the newspaper publishers of nited Stateszhave this question ncreased price, made necessary by tl high costof paper, entirely in own hands, Practically all ‘ommodities have increased in s, but the publishers have gone giving a2-cents paper for1l cent and a 5-cents paper for 3cents. The publishers should get together and increase their prices, to bring them return for labor and ma- terials, just as is due by any other business man who supplies the pub-— ina fair lict demand.” “J do not believe the remedy lies entirely in taking the duty off wood pulp,” Mr. Snapp said, in reply toa question. “This, in my mind, is a of cause of increas. It would help the situation, nd I hope to see tne matter investi- ed by congress at this session, I think that the increased price of paper is largely due to the combina- tion of manufacturers and the grow- ing scarcity and higher cost of raw may be that Mr. Snapp but he little knows the difficulties the average newspaper man has to contend with§in raising the price of his paper.‘ It may be investigation of the re- merger engineered from New small part probably materials.” It is right, that if an cent York was made, that there would be nu necessity to raise the price of paper: What is tie difference be- tween a trust and a’ merger anyway, except in name?

In New Zealand these sume ‘‘unionists” control the entire government and itis a model one. There are no “losses of confidence,” no checks issued by clearing houses to do business on while all the availabje currency is used to bolster upa lot flam speculators, and but littie crime. The people are content- 2d, happy and prosperous. Graft and nunicipal corruption have been en- tircly eliminated by the honest and administration of the of flim aconomical ‘unionists.”” oh ae For Rent—3 Room house, a well, a good barn, Afine appearing resi- dence.

In the preamble to the resolution it is stated that the practice of the express companies in soliciting orders of fruit and produce to be consigned to aud sold by their agents is harm-* ful to the business of the members of the association and tothe bus- iness of the country, and wholly with- out the proyince of acommon carrier. They shduld have gone further and demacded of congress that something be done to compel a reduction ir the extortionate rates charged the people The “big stick” could find a few heads tu crack to good advantage. The home of the late Senator Cushman K. Davis, at Laurel and Farrington avenues, St. Paul, a*land- mark of the city, was nearly ‘des- troyed by fire early Sunday morning. It was built thirty years ago, and was the scene of the tirst wedding of the senator. It housed the second Mrs. Davis, who~with her husband were conspicuous figures, at the national capital. The house also sheltered the parents of the senator. When he was governor of Minnesota many important state questions were discussed in the library of the house. In later years, when he was sent to Washington as a United States senator the house was the re- dezvous of national and local lights in politics and commerce. peal cea OPE ak The supreme court of the state of Minnesota is threatended with im- peachment. Attorney -Francis B Hart has written ar open letter to Chief Justice Start and Gov. Johnson setting forth certain matters which lead are virtually an impeachment of the court. The outcome will be watch- ed with interest by the legal fratern- ity and many others. i ib SES 8 Bands of indignant persons are mak- ing it interesting for the tobacco trust in Kentucky. Their methods are not such as to be commended by law-abiding citizens, but may be the only way they have of getting even with the trust who are dominating the price the growers shall receive for their crop. Was She to Blame. Perhaps one of the most natural and delightful of plays is J. G. Stuttz’ masterpiece ‘‘Was She to Blame” which will be presented here for the first time Monday Dee. 16. « This play differs from others in that each character is drawn from some living counterpart. The story is true to life and founded on absolute fact. A story that in its truth, touches the ineremost feelings and stirs the pulses while the comedy scenes areirrestibly funny. There are.so few really clean and wholesome plays that one cannot afford to miss the opportunity to witness ‘‘Was She to Blame’’ that has been seen by more than half the United States and Canada and en" dorsed everywhere by both press and public as being a play* that is really worth while. Butter By The Yard. From the Chicago Reocrd-Herald: Ip Cambridge, England, butter is sold by the yard. For generations it has been the practice of Cambridge- shire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound. Deftly wrapped in strips of clean white cloth the cylindrical rolls are packed in long, narrow baskets made for the purpose and thus conveyed to market. The butter women, who in white linen aprons and sleeves, presides over the stalls in the market have no need of weights or scales for dispen- sing their wares. Constant practice and experienced eyes’ enable them with a stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter into halves or quarters with almost mathematical exact- ness. ie The university people are the chief buyers of this ¢duriously shaped prod- uct. In addition to being famed for its purity and sweetuess Cambridge “yard butter” is eminently adapted for being served to the students in the daily commons.
