| A BIT PERSONAL |
**************************
We oelieve that the people want a
newspaper that is printed nicely. We
have worked with that idea for a long
time, almost as long: as we have been
in the newspaper game.
If the types used is too small it
hurts the eyes of those who would
like to read it, but cannot for that
reason. If the type is too large, it
takes but a line or two to fill a large
space and the paper cannot carry the
amount of reading that it should.
If t.hf* nairps. mst-pad nf sctnndinfr
out bright and clear, are smudged
with ink stains, dirt and grease, the
paper presents a sickly appearance
and creates the same state of affairs
in the minds of the would-be readers
of it. The people cannot be expected
lo have that respect for such ;i sheet
as they would have for one that is
handled with care and the pages
stand out bright-and clear for them
to read. It is exactly like the difference
between a clean house and a
dirty house.
Machinery in the print shop is like
machinery of other kinds in many
respects. One thing is that they cannot
be run without lubrication. Oil
relief hp i,med and used often to keep
" the bearings in good shape and make
the machines easy to turn. Like other
machines thev are inclined to become
mixed up with the product they are
turning out and with the different
materials used in and about them to
produce that product. In the printing
press, printer's ink has to be
used. It is black. It is sticky. It
has a tendency to spread all over
4^hat which it touches. Paper is a
thinqr that wants to scatter and tear
and stick in places where it does not
belong, especially on the rollers of a
press.
To overcome these difficulties, the
machinery must, of course, be kept
clean. It is impossible to print a
nice looking- paper from an old dirty
and greasy press. The rollers must
be ke^t cle.nn. the tvpe forms clean,
the ink must be pure, and the parts
of the press must not be dropping ink
and crease f^om everv revolution.
All these things we look after with
ever increasing care and try our
best to produce for the people a naper
that is not only easy to read, but
that is clean and worthy of heing
found on any reader's library table.
Some may object to this .article as
l>eing a personal allusion to our pri
vate affairs, but this paper believes
that it is better to take its readers
into its confidence and let them know
something of the troubles that lie in
the path of the man who wants to
produce a nice *aner.

All the successful concerns you see

a matter of luck, but on account oi
well managed business.
Nothing can take the place of labor
It is the basis of all wealth. Let u>
not forget that it takes labor to rur
this world. Nothing else can run it
o
Compulsory educatton may be <
good thine: for people whenever thej
can afford it. How ran children go t<
school without clothes to wear an<
food to eat?
o
There is such a thing as over doinj
the matter of so-called civilization, s<
that it becomes top-heavv and turn
back on itself. Greed for power wil
do the "some thing as it did in th<

o
We hear the term, "labor savini
machinery," which i,s not a correc
expression. Machinery only enable
a man to do more. Nothing can tak<
the place of labor. Nothing else ca:
be put in its place.
o
Children who must work in orde
im aid in the support of the famil

should not be required to attend
school under compulsory laws an-regulations.
Food artd clothing is
more important than education.
o
In cotton and toKicco time it is impossible
to spare the children at
school without outside labor to pick
the cotton or gather the tobacco, and
the outside labor cannot be had without
the cash to pay for it with.
o
It is wrong to inculate in the mind?
of the young the idea that education
may relieve them from the necessity
of labor. Why not tell the young tho
truth, which is that education is onlv
an aid to labor and intended to help
man to do more.

WASHINGTON COMMENT
Christmas!
Not, truly, a time for philosophy;
vet a time when many ask themselves
"why do we celebrate Christmas?"
The churches have one answer, an
answer that all Christians, at le.ast,
crive to the question. But the celebration
of Christmas has come to mean
much to many whose religion does not
o.iuse them to rejoice at the birth of
Jesus; it is celebrated with hen' tines4*
and happiness by those who do not
believe in anv religion; hv those of
alien f.niths and strange; it is a t.irm?
of iov and hanpiness to thousands of
^hild^en who have little or no understanding
of its religious significance:
it is warm in the hearts of *nv men
nnd "'oiren as a time of reioicinp\ of
neighborlv love, of friendshin .of kinship.
quite apart from its being the
natal day of the Carpenter of
Nnrareth.
Christmas mean? peace on earth,
(rood will to men. It means an nnpning
of hearts. Tt means thourM for
'he Poor and needy. Tt means bringing
joy to children who otherwise and
other ti,v,es have little joy. Tt means
love in the heart. It means brotherhood.
There i? no brotherhood without a
fatherhood: there is no brotherhood
of man without a Fatherhood of God.
and so even those who know nothing
* * * if there be such * * * of the
dav. 1,022 years ago, which Christmas
celebrates; even such as these, in
giving from the snirit of Christmas,
are led in spite of themselves, back to
the Creator.
Christmas * not a time for philosophy,
but a beautiful time to profe
that even philosophy must vie'd to the
spirit of the Yule log. which brines to

"When doctors disagree, who shall
decide ?"
It is impossible for any one to say
now whether or not Oregon ?<,^ool
law is or is not constitutional. Those
who drew it. those who passed it.
those who want it. say it is. Those
who find in it obiectional features say
it isn't! Only the court, can decide.
The Oregon school law has been
much misrepresented by its enemies.
Thus, no less a Catholic dignitary
than Archbishop Michael J. Curley, of
Bpltimore. savs of it:
"The anti-Catholic organization that
sponsored the un-American Oreeon
school bill is now planning similar
action for other states, with the fir.al
purpose of adding such legislation as
nn end men t to the American Constitution.
"The Oregon law does not become
effective for four years, and in the
meantime it is planned to carry the
work to other parts of the Union with
the object of creating such an atmosnhere
as made the prohibition
.amendment.
"The whole trend of such legislation
is a state socialism, setting up an
omnipotent stato that shall claim
ownership of individuals, body and
soul, on the principles of Karl Mark,
the German socialist, whose teachings,
put into practice, have created
soviet Russia."
* Un-Americ.an, state socialism, omnipotent
state, ownership of bodv and
soul," all this about a bill which re
quires children to attend a public
school five months in the year!
Tts opponents say of the hill that it
will "destroy the private school," that
it. "will crush the parochial school,"
that it "tekes from the parent the
ifrht to determine what his child
shall learn," md a lot of similar misstatements.
There are twelve months
in a year; the hill calls for public
school attendance during1 but five. The
parents in Oregon have the same control
of what their schools teach as
those of any other state; where is the
i "taking- away the right to say what
the child shall learn?"
It is not for us to say what the'
courts will hold .about the Oregon
i school law. That is for the fut?ve.
! But in the interests of fair play, let
us not befog the issue by saying of
the law that which is not so!?Contributed.

ft larpro number of Americanmanufacturers.
This organisation contends that instead
of a reduction of tnxes, there
'v\s been an increase compared with
1010.
In the United States Federal taxes
\lone totaled $4,925,000,"000 in 1919,
in 1921 reached a total of $4,430,000
vd m i*vj| reached to total of $4,jon

decrease of 11.2 per cent. The report]
of the conference contends, however,
that inasmuch as the 1921 dolVir%had
a purchasing power of 26.9 per cent
less than the 1919 dollar, Federal
taxes in 1921 were actually 15 per
cent higher than in 1919.
The National Industrial Conference
was not concerned in this report with
partisap politics, so it did not take the
trouble to point out that a Democratic
administration was in power in 1919.
The Harding administration came
into control of the Government in
1921.

Hipher Cost of Livi** a Sign of Prosperity?for
Profiteers.
At a time when business of any
kind *nf\v bo ratrd as an "extra hazardous"
un'iprtnk'ng?as reve.nled by
the unprecedented number of comp^ercial
failures in the country?the
cost of living shows a steady upward
nrocr^ss month after month. The
T?epublican doctrine that high prices
s?t*e at once a promoter and a proof
of prosperity seems to be confounded
by recent statistics.
The monthly index number of averri<re
commercial prices, compiled bv
Dun's Review as of December 1, 1022.
shows .in increase of 156 per cent
ovev that for November?at the rate
of 19% per cent a year. Compared
wi*h the index number for July 1.
1021?four months after President
Harding's inauguration?the index
number for December. 1022, shows an
increase of 16 per cent.
Nearly all commodities underwent
increases in price. The largest increase
was in foodstuffs, which showed
an advance of per cent, eomTYired
with November. There was a
rise of 2V? per cent in textile materials
and clothing, which are excessively
protected by the profiteers' tariff
act.
