Having concluded that the east was

when he got there he found the popuIa

and editorial room, SO he fell TO anC
with his own hands helped TO lath &
room In a not yet completed structure.
The day the first issue of his paper was
printed was one of great excitement In
the little hamlet by the lake shore, and
the sheets that were then thrown of
from the hand press were regarded by
the inhabitants as evidences Of a distinct
" forward step III the history Of the set
Element. 1t is probably not necessary TO
say that among the articles in that first
number was one predicting that Chicago
would one day be larger that New York.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Calhoun was
elected justice of the peace and in
time became chief justice of the supreme
court Of the state of Illinois. How long
he remained in the newspaper business
/ do not know, and if The Democrat
which he started be still in existence it
is in form so obscure as to attract no
,c,t..ee-tion and t. be utterly unknown
to the great world.
It would be interesting to trace from
this humble journalistic beginning the
history of that marvellous thing, the
press of Chicago. Is would be chron-
icle filled with thrilling incidents and
detailing the deeds of men of extraordi-
nary force. Perhaps the most extraorli-
nary of them all would be Wilbur F.
Storey, the shrewd Vermont Yankee who,
after learning the printers trade in the
shadows of the Green mountains, driftea
west, located first in South Bend, Ind,
and afterward published the Detroit Free
Press for some years before going to Chi
cago. There he succeeded in making
The Times the greatest newspaper of
the west IL not of the world There he
virtually introduced the special dis
patch" as well as many other of the
most important features that differen-
tiate the Journalism of today from that
of the fathers. When he was in his
prime, he once said to subordinate that
he did not wish his newspaper to live
after him; he desired the world to un-
derstand that he was the newspaper, and
that without the guidance of his genius
it could not be perpetuated. Later, after
his brain had been partially overwhelm-
ed by the lethal wave that finally quite
submerged il, he changed his mind and
planned TO leave the property in the
hands of a board of managers who should
pay its profits up 10 certain point to
his relatives and after that to designat-
ed charities in the city of his adoption.
This plan was never carried out, and

| Abraham Lincoln His first vote was
cast for Clay. He was in at the birth OF
| the Republican party. He was mayor OF
| Chicago just after the great fire, and 1T
was during his term and his subsequent
| brief sojourn in Europe that The Trib-
une received its only setback. Mr.. Hor-
ace White, then being the editor, caused
the paper TO support Greeley. When Mr..
Medill retained TO the editorial chair, he
swung the paper again into line with
his party, and its progress since has
been steady and continuous.
The Tribune's chief competitor for the
favor of the Republican party in Chicago
is The Inter Ocean, which was started in
1872 by John Young Scannon, who
bought the franchise, practically all
that was left after the big fire, of the
Chicago Republican, that had been

to abandon the enterprise not long after
Its establishment, but it was taken up

pany. Elijah Halford, known to the
world as President Harrison's private
secretary, was the first managing editor,
William Penn Nixon the first business
manager. F. w. Palmer, afterward
public printer; Gilbert Pierce, later
United States minister to Spain, and
Melville e. Stone were among those
who began with The Inter Ocean. 1t re-
ceiyed great impetus when. The Tribune
decided to support Greeley in 1872. Its
present publisher, Herman II. Kohlsaat,
began life as a cash boy at So week,
but he wanted to go to work in a news
paper Office and got place as Office boy
with The Tribune. His mother objected.
He predicted that some time he would
himself own newspaper and is busy
now verifying that prophecy. Before
he bought into The Inter Ocean, how
ever, he made much money as sales
man and some fame as the inventor of a
new style of lunchroom. He is man of
great energy and keen journalistic sense.
Next In order of age comes The News,
which was born in 1875 Melville E.
Stone and William Dougherty believed
that Chicago was a good place for l
cent newspaper. They succeeded in per-
suading Percy Meggy, who had some
money, that they Were right. There were
no 1 cent pieces circulating in Chicago |
at that time, and the early days of the
Life of The News were not days of plen- |

him some property, including The Skan-

It was in 1881 that the Chicago Her

Among the charms of the Chicago
Herald have been its clean, beautiful
Typography and the pure white paper
stock upon which it is printed. Much of
the success of the paper has been due to

whose assistants have always been men
OF ability and energy. Walter Wellman,
