THE boys of the county press have reason for congratulations this week on the fact that the Herald-Review editor is out of town on business He is not “in Europe” however and any iadiscressions on the part of the “gang” during his absence will be promptly attended to upon his re- turn. Be careful what you do and say boys as there will be a day of re- coming and don’t you forget it, It is somewhat of a paradox that of all those men and uewspapers that congratulate the state upon the supreme court decision, none pre- tend toclaim that the tax amend- ment was actually carried by the vote of the people. They ali know, aod most of them admit, that it was twice repudiated by the highest tri- bunal known to free government. This shows a decidedly callous ess Worn comes from Luverne that H. J.

The court holds, however, that one of these presumptions overthrows the other, and that the legal pre- sumption is the practically impossible one that because in 35 of the 589 pre- cincts recounted the amendment gained 288 votes, this same propor tion of gain if foundin all the un- counted precincts would have carried both amendments. Its balance of probabilities is therefore 35 against 554. “Ye gods and little fishes!” It is on snchaslender thread that “re- form” hangs its excuse and reformers congratulate the state that against the twice expressed will of the people this amendment is written into the consti#ation. How can these men and papers ever again prate of the “gacred purity of the ballot?’’ How ean they preach respect for law after deliberately writing “‘fraud” in large type in the most important chapter of the fundamental law of the state? —News;Tribune. the people, the court choose to de- eide otherwise.

Great Ceasar the advertis- ing dosen’t pay the tpye compositor. “But subscriptions!” The subscrip- tions do keep up our ready print bills. We are thankful for that. “And look at the job printing done. There’s where the money is!” There is no businessin the world where competition is so keen as in job print- ing. The business men complain about the mail order houses, but their competition is nothing compared to what the country job office is up against. Printing is manufacturing. In every branch of manufacturing combinations or trusts are sooner or later formed. Printing alone has withstood the onslaughter of combin- ations, but it has suffered unmerici- fully. The largest manufacturing establishmentin Minnesota isa job printing office. Did you know that? Alarge establishment works under conditions that allows them to set prices that no small office can meet. Every price on printing is regulated by the prices made by these firms; if we do not come some where near the mark set by the large establishments we do not get the work. Under such conditions how can asmall job office get rich. Two-thirds of the country newspaper editors in order to make a living are compelled to draw from outside sources. You see them as justices of the peace, handling in- surance, postmasters or writieg syndicate articles, struggling along. These are oot fiction but cold facts. |g The only profitable field remaining for the printer is that found in pub- lishing legals. As soonas legal prices are cut down to the bare cost of pro- ducing, the county newspaper man is practically compelled to quite the field. The county board was unjust when they refused to distribute the printing among papers every bit as well qualified as the Herald-Review, and in touch with as many readers, in faceof the fact that for three years that paper has controlled the county printing. But because it allowed legal rates is no crime in itself against the board.—Iron News. A Card of Thanks.
