Low Prices for White Paper Not Like- Iy to Retuin Again--A Higher Kate of Subscription Seems Inevit- Toronto Globe, | The publishers of 'daily papers {the Cainadian West have been hard the extraordinary increase in the cost of the white paper used in their press rooms, and have been conducting an inquiry as to the rea- sons for the ever-advaneing cost "of | production.' The Winnipeg Tribune, lan evening paper, discussing the situ- | ation, says editorially: . | "Mr, Backus, the head of the great {news print mills located on either |side of the Rainy River at Interna- | tional Falls and Fort Frances, and | which mills supply' the bulk of the | news print consumed in Western || Canada, explained the causes of the | advance in prices, and expressed the | view that while the present situation | might be to some extent abnormal,the | chances were that owing to other con- | ditions which had developed, the low | prices which obtained two or three | years ago might never return, or at | least not for 'a considerable period. In addition to this, the demand for news print had of late been so great, especially in the United States, where advertising had largely and rapidly increased, that it was all the mills could do, running day and night, to produce sufficient to fill existing con tracts. No*new ones were being ac- | cepted, and where surplus tonnage was asked it was usually necessary to refuse it, in order that the supply might go round and every néwspaper i | Pearson v | At the Grand. i ose who witnessed the pro- | gramme of vaudeville and photo- plays presented at the Grand Opera | House yesterday afternoon consider-, | ed it one of the finest.

Of course many publishérs, both in the United States and Canada, have already done | this, and it is undeniable that there | exists abundant justification for the] others to follow suit. There are,! however, a great many newspapers on | the continent whose policy.and slogan from: the outset has, li at of our own newspaper, been "a cdnt paper,' who would find it a somewhat diffi- cult task to depart from ghch a life- long policy, Just what /the future has in store for the publishers, and to what policy they may be driven by the force of circumstances, it is diffi- i} cult to predict." It is not in Western Canada alone that the publisher must choose be- tween smaller papers and an incregs-. ed subscription price. Conditions 1n the east are becoming acute.

For more than 1,600 miles east and west, and for an equal dis- tance north and south, a vast empire is declared to a party pledged for honesty and public service, and a party before which lies a clean page for unprecedented accomplishment. The causes of the overwhelming Bow- ser defeat in British Columbia on Thursday are well known. Chief of them was the old arrogant Conserva- tive practice of establishing a set of ministers as a dynasty, which jobbed |} out the country, its resources, posts, and its credit, and in the face of constantly growing protest still felt of its muscles and sought to hold place by brute force.
