Editor and Publisher, which is a publication for newspaper men and advertisers, published weekly at New York, issued with its edition of December 13 a com prehensive space buyers' guide, covering cities nnd towns in all states of the union. For the purposes of this edition more than 1200 cities and towns were sur veyed. The facts gathered were furnished by news papers, chambers of commerco, banks and various busi ness men's associations. As returns came in they were checked by qualified experts, and" in all cases of doubt they were returned for amplification, correction or ex planation. It wyi bo seen, then, that the 'results of the survey as presented by Editor and Publisher are author , itative. Moreover, they will bo accepted as authorita Jtive wherever this great edition of Editor and Publisher goes, and its circulation scope is international, i In another column on this page we republish today the facts that are given in this publication about Eugene. It will be noted that our present city population is given as 16,000 and that the city and suburban population is estimated at 42,000. It will be seen that our volume of building permits this year thus far, is exceeded in but four cities of. the Pacific Northwest nnd that they are all cities much larger than Eugene. Attention is called to the fact that Lane is the heaviest timbered cotfnty in the United States, with a stand of 05,000,000,000 feet of timber and that one-twentieth of the nation's re maining supply of timber is within a radius 'of 75 miles of Eugene. Other facts are noted which cannot but bring to the man or woman whoso homo is in Eugene at least a modest glow of pride. . i Other Oregon towns and cities included in fiio pub lished results of Editor and Publisher's survey are Al bany, Astoria, Ashland, Baker, Corvallis, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls, La Grande, Medford, Oregon City, Pen dleton, Portland, Eoseburg, Salem and Tho Dalles. Of all these o'nly two, Portland and Salem, aro accredited with populations larger than Eugene's. In tho other .facts set out in tho survey for tho various places,' Eugene stands forth well by comparisons. Tho primary purposo of the survey is, of course, to give national advertisers accurate information on which to baso their advertising campaigns. Says Editor and Publisher: Our newspapor friends naturally will benefit from this general survey. It opens to the national advertiser new vistas of opportunity and It Is. at the same time, anothor proof of tho Indisputable fuct thru tho American nowBpaper is tho direct line of communication to nil ot tho peoplo on terms null undor conditions which completely outdlstanco all y rlvnl forms of trading modla. The nowspapor 1s right, for price. ,' It is right, for BnnBlblo trading campaigning wherein dis tribution and publicity synchronize. ' It is right, for results. It Is right when time elements are to bo conserved. It is right, becauso it .does not waste and it is flexible In season, out ot season, every day the newspaper is the people's chosen medium of thought and action. A Carrier and One Who Is Crippled. Thero is in Eugono a boy of thirteen, who liko many other boys, carries a nowspapor route. This boy's .peo ple are in very humble circumstances. Mnny comforts that boys more fortunate havo and enjoy aro unknown to thin one. Ills earnings as a newspaper carrier are not expended ffor his personal benefit or pleasure. They go into tho purchaso of meager substantial for "tho lit tlo family of which ho is a -member. In one of tho houses on this boy's newspapor route dwells one who is terribly crippled. It is only with dis comfort and pain that this ono moves about. Tho news paper carrier has taken note of that fact. Every day when ho comes to tho houso lio goes up tho steps niul places tho newspapor exactly at tho 'tight spot against tho door for tho ono who, is crippled to reach forth and 4 .. 1 : l :i 1 : , . e-.ii...

Thero is in it a showing forth day by day through tho months of that kindly consider ation whoso manifestation, at this time of tho year, makes Christmas in tho hearts of tho people. Tho 13-yoar-old newspaper carrier doubtless would bo astonished if anybody told him ho is doing a fine thing. Ho is doing that thing from day to day becnuse , it is his natural way of doing becnuso ho is iJint kind of a boy. This is tho season when it is good to think upon tho finer, things. Thero is food, for thought along that lino in tho littlo every-dny story of tho newspapor carrier and tho ono who is crippled. Men of Eugono American legion post do not, in their relationship with tho public, occupy the rolo of recipient. They give. Part of tho evideneo was furnished this week in their sending of Christmas packages to disabled and sick buddies of other days. Governor Louis F.

(Salem Capital-Journal) Annually, with the winter slump in employment; comes the agitation -igJiuwt the employment of married wumen wnose husbands are capable ot supporting tbeui,, in the place 'of cx- sttvice men or single women, in sup tort of this effort, Governor fierce has written tu the heads ofmll stute departments advising the employment of men and women with war records rather than married wumen. The letter is well directed, for the i tate is the worst offender. The legis lature goes to extremes, for the clerk ships it has at its disposal, mostly sinecures, are usually apportioned to married, women, many of them well- to-do, who du not need the work, but want the excitement and a little pin money. Wives and relatives of the legislators are numerous on the pay-. roll. Many of our modern girls do nut marry for a tumily or a home, but fur t-ompunionship and a good time. Used to earning a goud sulury, often larger than tiieir husbands, they prefer of fice work to huuse work, and disdain the sucrifice required in raisiLg a family. The combined incomes of hus band and wife enable thera to splurge i little socially. . Every employer- should, givj pref erence to single, women or to deserv ing heads of fumilics over married women whose husbands can care for them, not only jis a solutiuu of the unemployment problem, but as a re tardunt to the growing decay of the American home, whicn fureshaduws the decadence uf the race. Another evil rampant in the state bouse iH nepotism the employment of iiirinhces of the family and relatives to the exclusion of ex-service men end women. Tho head of one depart ment Iiiib six members of his family on the state payroll in various capac ities. Anuther purcuu chief has his wife nnd sun on the payroll and so it goes.

They will fly to this country, to these high lands of Ne vada, New Mexico, Arizona, Colo. rado, to all parts of this American mountain paradise of health and beauty.

Eventually new party of liberalism 'is certain to rise in the United States and naturally will re ceive the greater part of the sun- port of labor, whether unionized or not. The matter of policy to be de cided by the Federation of Labor is open endorsement of political pro grams ana direction of their organiza tion toward securing political results or. that of following along the tradi tional lines hewed out by Gompers. SINCERITY was united in Samuel Gompers with rare fighting ability. His idealisms were all practicnl but no man ever gave more whole-hearted devotion to a great cairse. Many po litical shouters have sought to win electious on promises of the full din ner pail. Samuel Gompers did more than any other man of his generation toward the actual realisation of the full dinner pail for millions of work ers in msny trades. LOAN SOUGHT WAitSAW, Dec. 20.
