Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth, editor and pro-
prietor of the London Mail, one of the
most successful newspapers in England or
any other country, illustrated his idea of
what tho twentieth century newspaper
should be in the New Years edition of the
World Of New York. That paper, for the
twenty-four hours preceding the issuing
of its Jen. l edition. was entirely under
his control. As published, its appearance
was entirely changed, It's form was about
that of Golfers or Frank Leslie's Week
ly. a couple of inches longer, perhaps. 1t
contained thirty-two pages, and was made
up so as to permit the reader to compre-
bend fully the principal news items in
few minutes Its shape was such as to
permit Of It's being quickly folded so as
to fit snugly i'm the pocket of ones coat.
The head lines were large enough 10 at
tract attention TO news items i'm proportion
to their Importance. but were not in any
instance of the sensational kind. On the
front page, occupying a space not more
than four inches wide and five inches long
was a very brief statement of the sub
stance OF the most important dispatches
and the leading local news items. The
editorials We're given page and the adj
vertisements were well placed.
The paper was one well calculated to
please those who have but little time for
newspaper reading. 1t was an up-to-date
newspaper for busy men. Mr.. Harms
worth called it THE Daily Tinie-saver."
And that is what 1t was.
The principal points claimed by Mr.
Harmsworth for his paper were the fox
lowing: '' -@tc'd 1fi 4"a
Saving of the readers time.
advantage to advertisers.
Convenient shape for car and chair
reading,
"Neatness for carrying in the pocket"
There is no doubt that he sustained his
claims very satisfactorily. 1t is beyond
question that before the twentieth century
has advanced very far the newspaper will
have the chief features of Mr. Harms
worths twentieth century edition. The
daily paper Ia now unwieldy. Unless 1t
is handled very carefully when turnius
from one page to another. it gets out of
shape. and, as rule. it is thrown away
before the reading of 1t is completed. be-
cause of the trouble Of folding it so as to
make a comfortable package in ones
pocket. OF course the small pages OF Mr..
Harmsworth's paper would not permit OF
the enormous headlines to be seen in most
of the sensational papers, but 1t is safe
to say that the reading public don't care
for headlines that run entirely across the
page and pictures that are noticeable only
for their size.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Harmsworth' :
idea viii be adopted at once. but there Is
likely to be a good deal of experimenting,
and it would not be surprising If the daily
paper, within the next ten years. should
present an appearance entirely different
from that which it has at present.

sHIpnUILnING FACTS.

Mr.. Charles H. Cramp, of the great Phil
adelphia shipbuilding firm, in a signed ar
ticle on shipbuilding in this country for
publication on New Years day, makes
some statements which are of special in
terest at this time on account of the fact
that the question of building up our mer-
chant marine is under consideration, not
only in Congress but throughout the coun-
try.
One thing he says is that America is
a rapidly growing factor in che shlpbuild-
ing industry because she can furnish raw
material 10 all foreign countries at
profit He also says that our merchant
marine cannot be rehabilitated without
Substitution. The reason it cannot, he
says, is that the cost of building a ship
in the United States is about 80 per cent,
more than in England-the American me-
chanic receiving from % to 40 per cent.
more wages than the foreign mechanic.
In Philadelphia paper, of the date on
which Mr.. Cramps article appeared there
was published a statement in which 1t
was alleged that an American mechanic
does about three times as much In day
as an English or a German mechanic. and
that therefore the actual cost OF labor
in this country is not more than in the
countries of Europe. That there is truth
in this statement is evident from the fact
that nearly all kinds of metal articles are
made in this country at less cost than
they are made in European countries-so
much less that American machinery of all
kinds together with tools and steel and
iron products generally, is being sold free
ly in European markets. 1t will not be
denied that locomotives manufactured
within a mile OF the shipyard of the
Cramps are freely sold in every European
country-are being sold, in fact, in Eng
land.
In view of these facts what becomes
of Mr.. Cramps statement that the wages
are so much higher in this country than
in England that ships can be built in the
shipyards of the latter country at much
less cost than in ours? And he admits
that raw materials used in shpbullding
are much cheaper in this country than
much cheaper that they can
be sent to Europe and sold at a profit.
The promoters of the ship-subsidy bin
ought not to feel aggneved by the very
determined opposition there is to the bill.
1t is undoubtedly "a fact that those who
are against it are convinced that ships
can be built in this country as cheaply
as they can be built in England or Ger
many and in support of this position they
have the evidence of Mr.. HIM. president
of the Great Northern Railway, who is
built to be operated between. the Pacific
terminal of his railroad and the ports OF
the Far East. The arguments of the sup
porters of the bill are not based on facts.
