PAPER. '
History is repeating itself in the
paper industry "also. Immediately
after the Napoleonic wars, a great
shortage arose in the supply of linen
rags from which the best paper ot
that period was made. An investi
gator of the subject or the papei
shortage has fallen upon an inter
esting paragraph in Balzac's novel.
"David and Eve." David was
printer in a provincial French city.
He found his business interfered
with seriously by the shortage ot
paper, which he explained a fol
lows: Today it is a pressing questior.
and for this reason, since the down
fall of the empire; calico has comi
more and more into use because it is
so much cheaper than linen. At
the present moment paper Is made o'
a mixture 01 nemp ana unen rags.
Haw material is dear, and this nat
urally retards the great advance

CRAFTSMANSHIP!
Tcople speak easily of craftsmen and crafts
manship; but every good mechanic is not a
craftsman.
Craftsmanship is the individual creation of
useful things in a beautiful way.
To attain craftsmanship one must know the
relation of parts to the whole; must have a .com
plete conception; must be able to image forth an
idea, end must be so skilled as to reach close to
perfection.

vidual created in a beautiful way costly but

make. Now you cannot increase the
output of linen rags. ' A given -population
gives a pretty constant re
sult, and it only increases with the
birth rate. To make any percepti
ble difference in the population for
the purpose it would take a quarter
of a century and a great revolution
in habits of living and if the supply
of linen rags is not enough to meet
one-half or one-third the demand
some cheaper material than linen
rags must be found for cheap paper.
The Ango'uleme paper-makers were
the last to use pure linen rags, so
that the proportion of cotton in the
wood pulp has increased to a fright
ful exte.nt of late years.
The old linen paper was of excel
lent mmlitv Tt wnt ranahlp if RiirN
viving immersion in water for a con
siderable period without injury.
When the new cotton rag and wood
pulp fiber made its appearance there
was great complaint. Just as there
has been in recent years because
the wood pulp paper now so univer
sally used will last even in the best
bound volumes only a few gnera
tions. The problem of quality has
not been solved - in the hundred
years that have intervened since this
crisis was reached. But quantity
production has been secured, thanks
to the utilization of the spruce for
ests. The next step is likely to be
the manufacture of paper from new
material. . Bamboo is a promising
contender, and a giant tree, known
as the baobab which exists in vast
quantities in- East Africa, may also
be called upon. This tree sometimes
reaches a diameter of thirty feet. It
has a pithy wood too soft for ordin
ary use, but capable ot exploitation
by the paper makers. Until the in
dustry adjusts itself, however, the
entire publishing business must, be
placed on an entirely new basis. The
cost of books and magazines and
commercial printing has gone up
permanently so far as the ' present
generation is concerned, at least.

DEMOCRATS DID WELL
the democrats In national con
vention Tiave done well. . They
have turned away from temptation.
They have remained consistent
They bave shown the courage to- go
to defeat for the right as they, con
ceive it. They have- nobly shown
fear of dishonesty. They have held
fast to vital things. They have
marched to the music of the time
They have filled their own ranks
with enthusiasts. They will make a
good fight. They have kept th
faith and deserve well whether they
win or lose this election. They had
reason to believe they could win the
election by a "wet" plank, a plank
which would merely demand the
modification of the Volstead law.
William Allen White; great prohibi
tionist, great republican and great
reporter said in one of his letters
from the convention that with such
a plank they could carry every At
lantic coast state except Pennsylvan
ia, New Hampshire and Maine.' This
Is not overstated, it would give
more votes than necessary for a vic
tory. Still this convention stood
against it and resisted the eloquence
of Bourke Cockran. On the Irish
question and the labor question the
convention also showed that it had
character and high courage. They
have accomplished great things, and
tried to do other things, chief
among them being to enlist this na
tion in the league of nations to pre
vent future wars. These are the
four big vote getters of the campaign
and . the party expression on them
is altogether creditable to a democ
racy on trial. ,
The enduring power of this ad
ministration is shown in every im
portant plank in the platform. ThU
Is more than can be said of the pow
er of any other democratic adminis
tration since Jackson's. It ha.s been
better than the Jackson adminis
tration. It wielded more power
safely. Jackson left the country.the
heritage of a panic,, the most severe
in its history. This administration
eaves the country . bomb proof
igainst panics.
William Jennings Bryan, the
peerless" boy leader of the past.
was present intending to no good,
but his counsel would have been
ruinous to tbe party. It would I'avc
been a renunciation of party charac
ter. It would have , stultified the
party record. It would have maite
the party as foolish as it was ir,
1S96, when he captivated it with
words and led it to defeat, disgrace
ful defeat. This alludes to his anti-
league attempts which were tanta
mount to repudiation of the party
record.
Mr. Cryan .would have run away
from the league of nations i.sue. lie
would have, -thereby, introduced
toubt again as to the wisdom of the
eadership of his party and its rit'l
fulness to govern. lie would havo
gnored the morality and the Chris-
ianity of the league issue. lie would
have put a premium upon a selEsl.
course for the nation and bid .he
levil take the hindermost. ,Rut he
lid not control. The league of na-
ions is bound to be the vote moving
ssue of the coming campajgn. 1 r.e
nobality of that issue will lift up tbr
iemocratic party again even though
f shall fail to win this election. Th"i
iquor question the labor question
that may appeal to voters is ephe
meral and ignoble by comparison
with that of the establishment of a
league of nations headed by a great
nation dedicated to peace on earth
and good will to men. Sioux City

Manufacturers
"We are informed that the rep
resentatives of one or more talking-machine
manufacturers have
stateel, on several occasions, that
they are able to distinguish be-,
tween a singer's voice, or instru
mentalist's performance, and the
New Edison's RE-CREATION of
such voice or performance."
"We hereby invite responsible
representatives of any reputable
talking-machine- manufacturer to
permit themselves to be blind
folded, and to listen to such a
comparison, in the presence of
Jud of their own choosing, in
dicating tc the judges when
they think they are listening to
the artist, and when to the New
Edison. There is only one con
dition attached, and that is that
the representatives of the talking-machine
company, and the
judges selected ' by them, shall
sign a written statement, setting
forth, in full detail, the results of
the test.
"The test will be made with an
Official Laboratory Model, taken
from stock, suchas can be bought
in any Edison dealer store."

The Official Laboratory Model has proved its
Realism in 4000 Comparison Tests, made before
3,500,000 people all over the United States and
Canada. For instance, in Los Angeles recently,
an audience of 1,500 people was unable to tell
the difference between the living voice of Miss
Marie Morrisey, world-famous contralto, and its.
' Re-Creation by the New Edison.
There's a way for you to test the wonderful
Realism claimed for the Official Laboratory
Model in this sweeping challenge. We give Mr.
Edison's Realism Test Come in and let us .give
it to yoii.
The price of the new Edison has advanced less
than 15 since August 1, 1914. Mr. Edison
has absorbed the bulk of the increased cost
of material, skilled labor, and taxes. He is de

reach of everyone. ' But conditions may force .
