A former news|?ai>or man, noy.; en-' ga^ed fn another itue of butdneiM, has wrlttflu the following ud?out the news paper coudi t Ions ?>f to-day: "For some time |m.d I have Ihhmi studying the papers of my tustoiner.i i as t hoy coiim ??> in\' with a view t ? > , noting the effect cf tin* high price of paper stock. combined with the Increas ed cost of llvlnu uenorally. "One i tiliiK W? particular 1 have no- i tlced. It has enforced a strict won omy throughout every department of i\cwspa|>crdoin. and tin* Intensive sys t fill l< being pl.t lnl<> force and effect. Then' was a crying i u?* *? I for this a moiiu tho oou n try newspapers. "Having been one of their number. I aai prepared to state from e\j>erlenoe , I hut never was there a more hnppy-go 1 1 1 1 ? k > set of felhfws In any lino of business than the editors anil publish ers of a decade ago. lOach aspired to In* n prlnee of gotwl follows and his paper soon became the vehicle for fur thering the projects of every one In tho community- except himself, The political fortune* of nil of his friends were carefully nursed and cultivated. The s<vial aspirations of all were cheer fully aided and forwarded, ami, In short, he (the editor) resolved him self Into a regular Handy Andy with apparently no other aim in life than to please others. And the pathetic feature of the ease was that the pub lic came to so regard him. "Lately, however, conditions have hecn changing, and publishers, forced by stern necessity, have been learning j to place their pai>ers on the proper phi nee ? a strict business basis. "When Mrs. (iariahout a tew years ago would have been given half a column write-up on the occasion of her winter migration to Palm Iieach, she now draws down a five or six line local. Where Colonel (.rabitall would have drawn down a two column eulogy on his announcement for the legisla ture, he now gets hi* name In the an nouncement column nt $10 j>er inch, lu invited to buy display space at cur rent rates, and pays line prices for his puffs. Aunt Xukey Join's died the other day. The last time she died her obituary tilled a column and credited her with virtues which the Virgin Man would have hesitated to profess. To. day Ivor "In Memorium" is about two sticks, giving a decent fa re-voy-wel1 to the old lady and letting her pro at that, with extra papers at five j>er "And so It goes throughout the pa l>er. The professional "beat" who has heretofore thrived \and fattened on newspaper notoriety has been quietly told that "arc columns are full," and has gracefully ? or otherwise ? obliter ated himself, and the business of real Importance Is beginning to replace in the press the space which he formerly monopolized. "Hut the publisher of today is not stingy or shortsighted be cause he must necessarily be economical. He buys without hesitation that which he believes will improve his paper and In crease his income, and therein he evi dences increasing wisdom and expan sion. ? "These are good things all around. True, they have been brought about through dire necessitv and we feel like slamming the insatiable price boost ers in jail, where they belong. Hut then, some of our greatest blessings of life are the direct outgrowth of necessity. And if there is one business in this country that deserves to Ije re eognixed ftm! credited wiih its true value to the community, it is that of the country newspaper."

LEADS IN ACTUAL WEALTH Possibilities Arr Unlimited, It Is De clared, if Uncle Sam Should Choose to Develop Vast Powers. Should tlu? United Slates choose to devwlwp it i I her vusi powers, militifry expert* |i4jrv e, she will become the strong * (Military nation in the world. No belli** . -^t on either wide will equal her.

No other nation ean approach her iu natural resources. No other natlou can approach her In actual wealth. No other nation ean approach her In self-efllcieney and ability to flourish without outside assistance of any sort. No other nation cAn approach her, history shows, in the inveutlon of new weapons of war; and loading Ameri can military men know that this fac tor takes a very Important position In the calculations of foreign military councils when estimating tho ability of the United States to insist or to attack. The population of tlie United States and Its colonial possessions is neurly as large as the combined population ol' Germany and Austria-Hungary. The entrance of the United States into the war would add to the re sources of the entente a national stock of gold as large as the com? blued gold reserve of France, ltussla and Great Britain. When the gold in private hands Is considered the preponderance of Uncle Sam is still more impressive. The gold stock- of the central powers together Is only abour. one-fifth of ours. But iron, steel and copper are still ; mom Important in war than gold, and here fJ.ie United States shines so bril liantly as to dim the rest of the world. The United States produces more pig iron than all the other countries of the world combined. The central ^powers' pig iron pro duction Is equivalent to three-eighths of this country's production. Great Britain, France and Itussla combined produce only a little more than half the amount mined ami smelted here. But when we come to copper, that Indispensable of war. the full Impor tance of the United States Is realized. In 1010 the United States produced twice as much copper as the rest of the world. The central powers produce about one twenty-fourth as much copper as the United States. Great Britain, with all her colonies, produces only one-twelfth as much. In Industrial development and large scale production, American energy and Ingenuity lead the world. While exact figures are lacking, It Is known certainly that the United States has more than four times as many automobiles as all of the rest of the world put together. And the rate of production is putting this coun try farther ahead In automobile own ership every moment, despite vast ex portation*. About three-fourths of the automo bile factory facilities, It is estimated, will be put to work immediately on munitions in case of war. The rfdlrotfd system of thu United States compared with other nations, is a giant among pigmies. It would be possible to spread this inventory of the American resources over many pages. Nowhere else does a man's labor produce so much as here, due to the unequaled utilization of mechanical power. All that is needed to turn this mighty cataract of national energy to the business of war is time and prepa ration. New York to Train Big Army. Albany,? N. Y. ?

The navy department has made a complete Inventory for military use of American merchant and sailing vessels, including pleasure eraft down to the smallest motor boat. It is said that so thorough has been this preparation that the records show every boat, Its speed and capacity, its owner and pos sible method of use. The motor boat inventory was begun some months ago under navy department direction*, with a vl?w to the utilization of thene craft for the formation <?f a motor boat patrol.
