State, would be needless; but VIC content our
selves with a few remarks. Al Columbus, the
scat Of Government, Philo III. Olmsted, publish
ed the "Wcstern Intcigenccr,' commencing in
March, 1913. Without changing its owner, It
became the "Colurnbus Gazette, in 1918. and Is
now the ''Ohio State Journal published by
Scott & Wright. There had been before this
time two newspapers established in Chilli coshe.

"All the first papers printed in Ohio wcrc all
small ones, and badly printed. The most of the
presses and types first used n Ohio, old cast
off ones, in the cast, with few new job types
to each establishment. The change within the
last twenty years, in all respects, as it regards
the art Of Printing in this State, highly CRAFTY
ing to our State pride. We have now. ut least,
ono hundred newspapers, published weekly, in
the State. Many of them large any in

printed OH good paper, which is also made in the
State, but they edited very ably, especially
when the interests OF Ohio, arc endangered from
any quarter. On all such occasions, those who
stand on the watcl-towers Of liberty will ably DC
their duty to their fellow -citizcrss Of Ohio"
