FRIDAY,
The Newspaper Conference.
ACTIVE newspaper workers of Oregon are in Eugene
again for their annual conference under the auspices
of the school of journaliHin in the University of Oregon.
More of them have- come this time than on previous oc
casions. The conterence idea has taken root and grown
amazingly in recent years. It has become not alone- a
meeting occasion for individual newspaper men and
warren, but one also for the co gathering of organiza
tions of people engaged in various branches of news
paper work, such as the Oregon editorial association, the
trade and class journal association, the Pacific north
west circulation managers' association, the Ben Franklin
club of the AVillametto valley, the members of the Asso
ciated Press and the clients of the United Press. Each
of these groups is holding its own meetings hero today
or tomorrow, separately and in conjunction with the
newspaper conference.
Newspaper people of both town and city have
learned by the experience of tho recent years that at
tendance at the newspaper conference is worth while
Tho conference discussions give them new and valuable
ideas regarding the conduct of their business and in
dustry in tho various branches. Nobody goes away
from a newspaper conference without having, learned
something new and of value to him. Aud tho value
is not altogether in tho now ideas absorbed on the jiro
cesses of newspaper making and publishing. Tho very
touch with each other that tho conference gives those
who attend is valuable to them all. It freshens and re
juvenates thorn and they go back home bettor and keener
for having come. No newspaper man or woman who has
attended an annual conference banquet, such as tho cham
ber of conimerco gives in honor of tho visitors, is ever
willing to miss a subsequent ono.
Tho newspaper Conference was originally tho con
ception of Demi Eric W. Allen, of the school of journal
ism in tho University of Oregon. His is tho hand that
has laid out and prepnrd for them all. His students in
journalism benefit by the contact that the conference
gives tliein with active newspaper workers and the
newspaper pooplo benefit by their contact with tho on
coming, keen, young and vibrant students.
The city of Eugene, as well as tho university and
its school of journalism, is honored by the presence of
the newspaper peoplo hero. Its people all hope tho vis
itors will como again and bring others with them.
Growth of Paper Industry.
OTTO "V. MELKE, of Portland, speaking beforo the
Eugcno chamber of commerce members at their
luncheon yesterday, gave some facts and figures about
paper and paper production that are fairly starWing.
Tho value of tho world's total paper production for 1924
was $1,150,000. Paper consumed in tho United States
amounts to 8,000,000 tons a year, which is more than the
consumption in nil other countries of tho world combined.
To mnko enough paper for American needs for a year,
9,148,000 cords of wood aro required.
Newspapers consume one-third of all tho paper pro
duced and imported in this country. In North America
in 1924 tho newsprint production was 2,900,000 tons of
paper, of which mills in tho United States produced 1,
471,000 tons. Canadian mills produced 1,353,000 tons.
In tho United States 8,000,000 tons of paper were con
sumed in 1923, but our mills produced only (i,500,000
tons. Of tho 1,500,000 tons imported tho greater part
camo from Canada. Some paper and sonio pulp arc im
ported from Europe. . '
Hero in Oregon theso
moro tuan usual interest, because wood, as air. ilielke
said, is tho base of 95 per cent of all tho paper made,
and in Oregon there stands at present 20 per cent of all
tho live timber remaining uncut in tho .United States.
Tho demand for pnper has increased tremendously in the
past decade. Apparently it is to go on increasing. From
Oregon and tho other Pacific const states and Canadian
provinces must como much of the timber which will go
into tho making of paper for tho nation's futuro needs.
In tho naturo of things tho paper will be manufactured
in tho states which have tho timber. At present spruce
is the standard wood for paper making. Processes are
now being perfected to make it from fir also.
Lnno has moro standing timber than any other
county in tho world. It is not a far-fetched vision that
predicts for Lane, county n future paper-making indus
try of proportions. For paper-making seems to rival
lumbering in nil favored timbered districts.
Taul Dormitzor, attorney for numerous persons ac
cused of bootlegging, finds that nobody in Lnno county
officialdom is disposed to do his duty in accordance
with tho Dormilzer idea. First it was Clyde X. John
ston, former district attorney, who didn't suit Dormitzor,
then John S. Medley, present district attorney, and now
Judge Skipworth himself. An attorney for nilcgeil boot
leggers complaining that officers nnd courts are not zeal
ous enough in tho conduct of cases against other alleged
bootleggers is an unusual paradox.
Tho new Polk directory estimate gives Eugene a
population of 19,000. It is the experience of cities gen
erally that city directory estimates of population are
scaled down somewhat when the federal census is taken.
But Eugene is wholly justified in claiming lti,0t)0 to
17,000 population. W'c have that ninny.
The Oregoninu said yesterday that tho brains of
Oregon were converging towards Eugene. Sonio of
them were. Tho rest wero already there.

The Demotion of LaFollette.
(Medford Mail-Tribune)
Senator llurah fails to exhibit his
usual intelligence when he combais
the demotlou of Senator JjatVlettc
and other leaders of the third part;
on the basis of abstract justice.
This action may be u mistake from
the standpoint of expediency, but from
the stundpuint .of logic the position
of the republican organization Is un
assailable. -
This is the government of parties.
The organization of the aenate is bat
ed upon partisanship. LaFollette aud
his followers, not only deserted the
republican party m roe last election,
but formed a new party, farther re
moved from the republican party in its
principlea and aima, than the demo
cratic party itself.
If LaFollette bad won and secured
a majority of the aenate, the third
party wou.d have reorganized the up
per chamber and relegated mombcre
of the opposition to minor commit
tee appointments.
But LaFollette lot. The republi
cans now are merely exercising the
right, granted them by the American
people, and LaFollette in suffering
demotion, is merely suffering the bur
den he voluntarily assumed when be
launched a new political organization.
Holding Off the Pedlars.
(Albany Heruld and Democrat)
The Kiwams club of Ashland bas
had printed a Inrge number of posters
for distribution to the housewives f
the city, who nre asked to place them
on tlieir doors. The signs read: "No
tice to peddlar, ngcnla nnd order
tukcrs: No admittance; we don't need
your guods; Ashland mcrchuuts carry
complete stocks and we trade at
home."
While tho Idea is not entirely a
novel one, very likely- it has detaila
that are. Here in Albany many
householders bavo displayed "No 1'cd
dlar Wanted" signs, but they do not
stale wily they do nut desire them.
The Aithland women give the reason
straight from the shoulder. - Their
home mercbanla carry complete
stocks of merchandise and they trade
at home. What more potent rcasou
could there possibly be.
This proclamation of loyalty to
home Industry on n door of every
Ashland home will get the goat of the
most burdened nnd persistent peddlar,
Beforo he travels many streets he will
find that the cords nre slacked against
him. He will quit in disgust and seen
greener, fairer pastures, .where the
women aro not loyal lo their mer
chants, even the most determined
high pressure canvasser will not duck
a line tip of that kind for long.
We commend the Ashland Iden to
the Albany merchants nnd suggest
that the Albany Kiwanis' club or the
100 Per Cent organization put it in
execution here.

INAUGURAL IS GREAT. ADVERTISING
Coolldge Induction Excels All Previous Similar Events From
Standpoint of "Telling the World"
WASHINGTON, March 13. As a
bit of national advertising,' the
Coohdge advertising, the Coolidge in
augural excelled nil previous presi
dential pageants. This partly because
of, partly in tpito, of, (president Cool
idge. From an administration standpoint
the inauguration was shaped further
lo advertise "Cooiidgo economy' to
the country.
It was designed os a selling dem
onstration for horse sense aud re
duced expenditures.
The little two-by-four reviewing
stand built in front of the White
House, diminution of an cluborute
"court of honor," curtniling of the
purude itself and lack of luvish and
expensive decorations all united to
give force and effect to the idea of
economy.
All this advertising of the admin
istration's viewpoint and purpose
was with the full tud and approval of
tho president.
The advertising that was achieved
Iu spite of the president, however,
was accomplished by the great new
Mayflower Hotel, which is making its
bid for urn putronnge of statesmen
and dignitaries, and which was hur
ried to completion in time to cash iu
on the publicity opportunity pre
sented by un inauguration.
1'ur while un "official inaugural
ball which would have beeu held
in some commodious public building t
was banned by the president, nn "un
official" chanty bull was arranged ;
fur the main bull room of the .May
flower Hotel.
An a result of which, news stories
and special articles, like this, have
dune more to fix the Mayflower in the
public mind, as a modern un.-to-date
Washington hutel'instead of nu onti-
(piuted suiling vessel, than could have
been accomplished in a year by a cost
ly campaign, of paid advertising.

Tho players drop in the restaurant

Mayflower with an inaugural ball,
even though same was unofficial, may
be .more important than it seems on
the surface.
It uiuy murk the beginning of a de
cline in social circles of the prestige
assumed by those who never forgot to
let the world know that their ances
tors "came over on tho Mayflower."
To the downger who hereafter an
nounces her Mayflower descent, the
frivolous flRpper of today may make
the fitting retort that ahe herself
danced in tho Mayflower when Cul
took the oalh.
In another way, too, the Mayflower
marks a step ahead in the capital's
evolution. It gives to downtown
Washington a hostelry that is essen
tially metropolitan in its aspect.
The building is an enormous pile,
occupying, almost an entire city
block. -
It offers not only alt the "conveni
ences" but all tho frills, including
even the wife of n former Russian
czarist official as "hostess" to give
an atmosphere of distinction and class
to its tea room.
.
While on the subject of hotels, it
might bo said that Washington is suf
fering from on epidemic of hotclitis.
In the past six years the hotel ca
pacity of the rupitnl has more than
doubled. During the war period, when
a room and bath in Washington
brought any price the management
had the nerve to ask, the hotels then
here made enormous profits.
And of course there is always . the
parade of politicians and the men
with axes to grind and money to
spend for the grind. ug. These nre the
folks who keep the hotels hot.
Visitors who Bought shelter for one
or two nights during the inaugura
tion, however, were uniformly inform
ly informed that in order to get quar
ters for one night they would have
to pay for four. No reservations for
less than four nights would be
booked.
Too much advertising!

ry, the prizefighter, and his wife who
recently joined the cast as a ringside
spectator of the mimic fight, a role
she had often played in real life.
Someone with a penchant for sta
tistics has figured that several of the
famous teams of ballroom (lancers
who are the main attractions at two
or three of the night clubs make $:t(J
a minute for the time they actually
dunce. Several of theso teams are
paid from 7."U0 to $10,000 a week.
Fire has destroyed the old Doug
Ins Mansion in West Fourteenth
street. That may mean little to the
casual reader, but those who came
sightseeing to New York between
1ST 3 aud 1S79 will recull it an the old
Metropolitan Museum of Art. After
that it became a saloon and rooming
house. The history of an old house is
often more interesting than the his
tory of an old man.
