To the readers of The News, at
home and abroad, we send greetings,
trusting that each patron may have a
imost enjoyable time during the holi
day season.
The newspaper fraternity has ex
perienced buj little comfort during
year 1916 for the reason that material
has been so high but little has comt
to the publisher, yet we are fairly
well Qontented with conditions, hoping
that a brighter outlook will make its
appearance in a few months. Blank
paper, upon which The News is print
ed, six months ago cost fifty-four dol
lars a ton, in Louisville. At this time
we are paying $130 per ton in the same
market, and it may go higher before
the drop comes. There has been a
raise in all other print paper at the
same ratio. On account of the high
prices many county weeklies have sus
pended, thetoll being more than they
could well carry, and many have raised
the subscription price $1 50 per year.
The News did not raise its subscrip-
- fcion, but reduced it's size in order to
save paper, but at the same time we
are furnishing about the same amount
of reading matter, using smaller type.
The change of size is only temporary,
as it is our intention, as soon as the
" cost of material comes down, to return
to the six coum'n, eight page paper.
We are doing every thing in our
power to please under the present con
ditions, and we believe our readers,
that a large majority of them, will
continue with the publication.
There is a move now on foot to re
duce the price of blank paper, and
'every publisher in Kentucky is watch
ing it closely,, and when it comes it
will be "hats off" to those who busied
,'themselves to bring about the reduc
tion. -
We will do our best to furnish a
readable paper during the year 1917,
and in order to assist us in so doing
we ask every one who is behind on our
books to call or send in a "remittance,
as ready money is the most needful
thing here at this time.
Write for our little booklet describing the
pipe behind the warming closet, the triple bot
tom, the open warming closets, heat regula
tion, oven peculiarities and other patented
points found only in a PRINCESS.
These ranges are the result ot" 20 years of
studious range building and are real home
builders. We omit nothing in workmanship
or materials that could render them more
efficient, economical or durable. "

No More Railroad Anarchy.
Railroad unions, like railroad cor
porations, are affected with a public
interest.
After a long and bitter struggle,
that principle was definitely estab
lished as relating to railroad corpora
tions It has never been established
as relating to railroad unions, and the
President again asked that it be es
tablished.
In his address to Congress yester
day urging the completion of the rail
road programme partly adopted in
the enactment of the Eight-Hour-Law,
President Wilson draws a clear
distinction between the railroad em
ployees as an individual and railroad
employee in combination. Nobody
proposes that the railroad employee
as an individual shall be denied the
right to leave his employment What
the President asks is that 'the con
certed action of powerful bodies of
men shall not be permitted to stop
the industrial processes of the Nation,
at any rate before the Nation shall
have had an opportunity to acquaint
itself with the merits of the case as
between employee and employer." .
That is a power that Government
lias both a moral and a legal-right to
exercise. Last summer the American
people were suddenly confronted with
a crises which threatened the com
plete paralysis of commerce and in
dustry. There were nc legal author
ity that could compel a full inquiry
into the facts of the controversy. So
far as the rights of 100.000,000 people
were concerned, the railroads and
their employees were free to plunge
the country into an industrial civil
war and continue the conflict until
one side or the other exhausted. -
It was then that President Wilson
suggested legislative remedies to
meet the situaticn. The strike was
averted by the Eight-Hour-DayLaw,
but the danger remained and -a new
crisis may aiise at any time.
In again insisting that there shall
be neither strikes nor lockouts in the
operation of rajlroads until there 'can
be a full public investigation into the
merits of the dispute, President Wil
son is redeeming the pledge that he
made to the people last summer. The
duty of Congress is too plain to be
shirked, and while many labor leaders
have expressed their opposition to the
proposed legislation, It is a short
sighted opposition that runs paralelled
to the old railroad opposition to all
forms of restraining legislation in the
public interest.
Organized labor, in the long run,
has nothing to lose by making itself
responsible, nor can it succecssfully
defy the power of Congress to regu
late interstate commerce. The rail
roads once thought they could, but all
their money and all their iniiuence
proved unavailing. They' were com-,
pelled to recognizethe rights of the
public, and there are now few rail
road investors or managers who would
return to the old anarchistic order.
The railroad unions likewise must
accept their public responsibilities
and discharge -their public duties.
The "public-be damned" business is
done for on both sides of the line in

Warning to Buyers of Baled Hay.
The department is investigating the
practice of some shippers of hay ve
neering or facing the bales Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the baling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that ia of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled and manipulat
ing the forkful in such a way that the
high grade hay covers 'the outside of
the bale, making the bale appear, to
contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay As
sociation, has requested the depart
ment to cooperate with it in trying
to eliminate this practice, believed to
be dishonest. Buyers of baled hay
are warned to be on the lookout for
this practice in order to avoid accept
ing on a cursory examination a lower
grade of hay than they intend to pup
chase.

was successful. Several conversions

church was greatly revived. Tiie

to work for the Lord and bring the
world to Christ. Bros Rowe and Fer
rill are now at Melson's Ridge holding
meeting. Would say to any one who
is in reach of that plaCe, don't fail to

services. Bro Rowe is also out for
the cause of Christ, and is a devoted
worker to get souls saved.
