Michigan man, states the facts of the cam- , paign just now starting, in a most Interesting rnaner:Marshall, Mich.. Aug. 7 —To the Edi- i tor: Stoughton Cooley pertinently criticises Mr. Hughes’ speech of ac- ’ ceptance in today's Herald, as he says ( ! ‘‘lt is easy to denounce the President i and the party in power, but denouncia- < tion amounts to nothing unless a bet- 1 ter way of doing is’ shown." 1 Mr. Hughes fails to do this. Mr. Wilson may have committed ei rors, and may not have acted just as an outsider would consider best, but during his administration he has shown qualities of statesmanship of a high order: Congress has passed legislative measures of great importance, putting us as a people on a secure financial foundation; the country is prosperous; we are not involved in war; Germany has been shown that we are as willing that she as others should have out products, and taken, altogether, I cannot see that we would be benefited by a change in administration. If there is any advantage in being on the inside and knowing the intricacies of foreign policies, Wilson has it, Lincoln said it was bad policy to change horses while crossing a stream, and I agree.—Edward J. Nickerson. HOLD-UP OF PUBLISHERS: — Anent the boosting of the price of newspaper print paper by the combine that seems to have gotten control of the situation and proposes to hold on until they are compelled by a storm of protest from the newspaper people who are being made the victims, the following is an extract just received from an Indiana publisher who is feeling the big end of the club: "There never before has been the time like the present when one could not buy print paper for money, marbles or chalk. No one knows the future or the outcome or what will be- 1 come of the poor devils trying to make an honest living in the newspaper game. There is no question in my 1 mind but that the paper mills and the ' jobbers are in on an understanding to make all the money they can. but t whether the federal trade commis- * mission will be able to dig into the 1 trouble far enough to reveal it is a question which 1 very much doubt.” ?

As it is now, newspapers cannot make a contract for paper at all. They must simply go in to the open market and buy it at the open market price. The price Is perpetually changing and always to the higher levels. The expression from the newspaper publisher is given above is only n duplicate of that which comes from all quarters. There seems to be no adequate, satisfactory explanation of the present conditions of the print paper market. Evidently there is a full grown "nigger in the woodpile” somewhere that will be chased into the clear before a great while. —Logansport Pharos-Reporter.

TAGGART TALKS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) worse.” He supplied a' critical analysis of the public buildings bill which he said had been prepared for him by the federal architect's office. "This bill," he said, "takes care nf 297 congressional districts out of a total of 435. and it takes care of every state in the Union except Vermont. Under section 3, I have made a little tabulation. This section carries authorizations for ninety-three projects The population in the towns nf thirtynine of these projects ranged from 1,039 to 3,000. Th etotal population in the towns of these thirty-nine projects Is 77.579. The average population is 1,980. The total authrization carried for buildings in these thirty-nine projects is $1,125,000, which means, when made, an average appropriation for each inhabitant of those thirty-nine towns of $14.50. "To some it may appear to be economy t oerect public buildings in every little crossroads country town.". Taggart then gave a list of towns in various states io enforce his point. Taggart gave his o. k. to the nonpartisan tariff commission plan, saying he was "by no means a recent convert" to it. He praised particularly the section of the bill relating to dye-stuffs, saying that such enterprises in the United States should be aided as planned. The authorized appropriation of 385.000,000 in federal aid trr states for good roads was praised. Taggart gave figures to show that at the present time the average farmer must pay more to haul his produce to market over American roads than it costs to ship the same weight from New York to Liverpool. The senator devoted considerable time to American relations with South American countries, praising the plan for a merchant marine and urging that the United States begin plans that will capture the lion’s share of trade there, which has been going to Europe. He said the reform of the currency system was a “wonderful step forward.” He said the American navy is now the best on earth, man for man and gun for gun. The plan to build a nitrate plant had his approval. He sanctioned the reorganized army, saying that the one feature of the law*— the one relating to military training in high schools and colleges—would ultimately furnish the country with 25,000 to 35,000 trained young men annually.
