a prominent member of the Bar in this

thought passing tribute was due to the
memory of good old man, who has done
honor TO the community in which he liv-

guIar fact too in regaId to his demise,
which may be worthy Of note. which is,

The First Power Press.

When Ben franklin was urged not to start
newspaper, as there were already two or three
pilnted In this country, he thought that more
papers wJuld make more readers but we
doubt much whether he entertained the reno
test idea OF what was soon to BE- the state of the
newspaper press in the United States. No
sooner do people begin t. travel by steam, than
they must have other things in proportion, and
If they cannot read by the same process, they
will at any rate have the printing done by
steam.
The first person who introduced steam into
printing office was Mr.. Walter, who was the
principal owner ofthe London Times. On the
29th OF Nov. 1914, he made the experiment,
but not without much and virulent opposition
as the following account will show.
The night on which the curious machine
was first brought into use in its new abode was
one of great al x ETY. and even alarm. The sus-
plclous pressmen had threatened destruction
to any one whose inventions might suspend
their employ destruction to him and
his traps They were directed to wait for
expected news tom the continent. 1t was a.
bout O'clock in the morning when Mr.. Wall
ter went into the press room and astonished
its occupants by telling them that The Times
was already printed by steam-'that if they
attempted violence there was force to suppress
It f.; but that If they were peaceabls, their wa
