Efforts; to find relief for the news print paper Bhortugc and prevailing high prices were continued Hero today by the fed eral trado commission In conference .with committees of newspaper pub lishers, news print manufacturers and paper Jobbers. A plan that was discussed proposed that publishers of larger newspnpers reduce their pur chases next year by five per cent so the smaller papers may receive some of the supply. .Messages were sent today to largo publishers to ascertain ir they will subscribe to the plan, re linquishing flvo per cent or their 1017 contracted supply and to small pub lishers to learn their lfl 17 needs. At the same time the nuinufacturers' committee was trying to learn the ex act amount of paper slock on hand In the I'nited States and the amount that will be manufactured for next year's needs. The larger publishers are not well satisfied with the plan proposed, con tending It forces (hem to make sacri fices to supply the small publisher!). when the manufacturers could solve tho whole piohlem readily by divert ing to news print manufacture paper making machines now working on wrapping paper manufacture. war. As General Scott says: "At present wo are practically defenseless before the veteran armies ot our northern neighbors and could easily be crushed by the existing roulatlon of the island empires." But the same condition has exisled for a hundred years, and peace has reigned between the United States and Can ada during all these years, without so much as a border fortress or a warship q arouse distruct and suspicion and fan the flames of' national prejudice into warfare. If on account of a hypothetical dread of Canada we I have to have an army of a million and a half men, with- I 1 .. -II . ' ,1 I .. .

It is proposed to abandon democratic ideals and prin ciples and go back to the devise of jiionarcliial militarism, with war the chief purpose hi life. It is proposed to sub stitute the blood-bespattered fallacies of feudalism for the idealism of the new world republic with its policy of peace and good will among mankind. America was largely -peopled by lovers of liberty flee ing this same injustice of compulsory militarism and its inevitable results. And without even the threat of mili-tary-mad neighbors to menace the nation, it is proposed,. time of peace, to force every one under arms to prepare for mythical foes. And this proposal is seriously made at a time when the lust of war is turning to ashes, when the great slaughter fest is drawing to an end tlirouglK'xhaustion of the slaugh terers, and even the braggart partner of the god of battles has had enough and talks of limitation of armament and world courts to enforce peace! Ls the United States to be the one gr' at power to keep the ebbing soul of militarism alive to nurse this Franken stein into health that the world may again be darkened with horror and crimsoned with blood ?

One-half the VV world is mad with war, and the other half is de lirious with its material prosperity. Civilization is a fail ure." You have heard somebodv talk this wav more than once in the last year. Deploring our "spiritual debilitv' is ii popular pessimistic habit. And therefore, if you ever have any dreams ot your own, you probably have stopped conlessuig to them. ou think it pure waste, lor example, to try to discuss "character" when ordinary conversation runs entirely to the high cost of living. Yet you know, all the time, that if any complete in vestigation of high prices could be. made, the element of character would have to enter into it. Men who dream of ideals do not become grafters and exploiters, do not corner foods, do not make combinations in restraint of trade. Hut do you ever stop to think that because destruction seems to threaten man's best spiritual achievements you ought to assume your own little share of responsibility for preserving civilization I And that you can do your bit hest by sticking to your visions ( Max Otto, associate professor of philosophy at the Uni versity of isconsin, had this to say about, dreams the other day: "Dreams are nascent ads. Thev are acts in the em bryonic form. "Dreams are projected programs of action. "Dreams are aspects of reality. Thev are revolution izing forces. Living in great dreams means expansion of personality and translormation ol the world. -TONIGHT - EEWITCIITXG Billie Burke In Geo.

Yet I AMUSEMENTS - it Invested $300,000 In a pipe line. When the Canal company began to j , build Its dam I gave the city council a letter asking It to protect tho city's j water supply by keeping the Canal company from polluting tho water, as ; it was about to back the water over j the old camp grounds. Tho Canal , company kept a large force of men camped along side the lake, likewise stabling eight head of horses there, j When they overflowed this same ; ground with the city water they did , not even remove the stable or do any- j thing else for the protection of tho purity of tho wnter. Mr. Ilrown has ; heretofore, denied that there wus any ; such stable, but he does not need to j do It any .more for I have a photo-1 graph 6f.it on my tnblo before. me. The stable- was made, of poles audi brush. .. Thls summer, just past, the : water got so foul that It could senrce- ' ly be Used for n bath; then the water 1 was let out of tho dam. About tho : time tho ' Irrigation district -'acflulres i rights through this dam the city will j ho compelled to tnke legal action to j prevent the pollution of its water sup ply. This is one of the law suits they probably want to unload on the pro posed district. If the Canal company wants to con tinue to pollute . the water supply, then would It not he a good idea for it to extend the lledtord pipe line to the springs at tho head of Dig Ilutte creek where there is an ample supply of pure water? At least, would it not be better for the Canal com pany and the city to get this matter adjusted betore the farmers make a million dollar investment in tho en terprise? ,. Mow, as to Mr. Neff's. letter, tho facts aro Just as 1'have heretofore stated them, and not otherwise. He did tell me that they had sold wnter for 10,000 acres; his own statement put with mine proves it. 1 said it was his claim that his compnny own ed the wnter rights for 7000 acres out of the 10,000. t lie says that he said that the company owned all but the rights tor 3000 acres, so that the true facts can be readily seen from Bessie Barriscale, Charles Ray, Louis Glaum and Clara Will iams In a Trlannle-lnce Comedy Drama, "HOME" PAGE Kegular Prices Adults 15c.
