FARRELL KAUFMAN. PANGBoRH
the world is a wonder TO all who have
not the pleasure Of his personal acquaint-
ance, and who, therefore, 10 not know
the extent and thoroughnoss of his men
tai equipment. The functions Of editor
and business manager werc never more
happily combined in ono man than in
Victor L. Lawson.
The stout little man with tho keen,
black eye who hovcrs in the neighbor-
hood of his bosom friend, President Scott,
is Charles r. Baldwin, Of The Water
bury Comm American, and treasurer Of
the United Press. Baldwin's paper is
one Of the conspicuously successful New
England newspapers which, like The
Springfield Republican, butin less degree,
have found their sphere to be more than
local. Baldwin is a bank officer as well
as the business manager OF a newspaper,
and applies business methods 70 all his
undertakings. No man who halls from
SO small q town has impressed himself
more upon the journalism of the day.
The treasurer of the association in one
Of its most popular members is William
NJ. Bryant, of The Brooklyn Times, whose
training and mercantile life has given
him fund Of experience upon which he
has drawn SO largely in the management
Of the business department Of live news
paper. As it is impossible that the asso-
citation should be in session the year
round, and as the most active of cxecu-
tive committees cannot meet all the re-
quirements Of individual members Of the
association, il has been necessary to vest
great deal Of authority in a manager,
and the choice for this Office has fifty
fallen upon Mr.. James S. Metcalf, whose
admirable qualifications for the place can
be youched for by every member.
Mr.. Metcalf has an Office in New York
dedicated to the service Of the associa-
ton and where his experience in all de-
partments Of newspaper work is always
on tap for the common veal. Other
members of the association, of whom it
would be a pleasure to write were moro
space at hand, are John II. Farrell, Of
Tho Albany Press, one Of the wheel
horses Of the United Press; g. NJ. Hopes,
the assistant manager of the advertising
department of The Philadelphia Press, in
addition to caring for the business man-
agement Of The Wilmington del. Morn

The New York session of the associa-
ton was one of great interest to the mem
bers, as the stenographic report of the
proceedings must be to the newspaper
profession at large. Papers on such prac-
