A Fine American Paper,
rom the Terre Haute Express

From the Terre Haute Express.
An interesting event in the newspaper
world, or in any other, was the issue by
the Washington Evening Star last week
in honor of it's fiftieth anniversary Of very
great and beautiful number of ia pages,
in which was folded facsimile Of its first
tiny four-page number. about the size of
one leaf of the Express. To continue the
contrasts. the little initial number repre-
sented capital Of $780, and the anniver-
sary number a newspaper valuation of
$1,000. 900. The history Of paper like The
Star, told in this superb news ISSUE is a
history of Washington, Of our capital,
which in 1882 was poor newspaper town,
and poor city in many respects, and is
now fine field for at least two fine papers,
The Star and Post, and a most beautiful
city, now Of magnificent ideas for the
future, though once only of magnificent
distances 1t is well said by the great
editor of the CourierJournal that 1.-The
career of The Evening Star is at once an
inspiration and encouragement to the
American Journalist and he joins in a
wish that surely many will echo, May all
of us live to see The Star celebrate its CEN

STARS HALF CENTURY
PRESS COMMENTS ON THE ANNI-
vERsARY EDITION.
Decent Journalism Succeeds.


The Washington Star has just issued an
edition of us pages concentrating the
fiftieth anniversary Of that newspaper. The
Star is one of the most noted evening pa
pers in the United States. with the New
York Evening Post, the Boston Transcript
and the Chicago News dividing honors as
among the greatest evening papers. Inc
Star Is a very clean newspaper. neat In
Typography, it's matter condensed, not over
displayed and very reliable. 1t prints an
edition averaging twenty pages a day, at
least half Of which is display advertising:
Its advertising patronage Is enormous and
the success of the paper is shown by q
large marble building. one of the sights of
Washington. Its circulation Is practically
confined to the District of Columbia and IL
makes the claim of going into every home
in that District where the people are intel
ligent enough to read or able to pay 10
cents a week. 1t has about $4,000 subscrib-
ers. or about four times as many as the
Sentinel. The Star Is independent In poll
tics. but of late has leaned toward the ad-
ministration. 1t Is a very fair newspaper,
however. Since 1867 Crosby s. Noyes has
been editor and s. H. Kaufman pub
Usher. To these two men Is largely due
the credit for it's success. They paid $lOo,-
coo for the PAPER then. it having a circula-
ton of about 1900 and an equipment that
could have been replaced for $4,000. We
doubt If The Star could now be bought for
81 100000. The success of a newspaper con-
Quoted on principles of honor and business
sense like The Star. with strong opinions,
but fair in all matters and not conducted
as anybody's personal organ, Is encourage
ment to journals of that class all over the
country. Such newspapers have raised the
newspaper work to a profession and made
unworthy men seek other occupations.
Newspapers have developed with the
growth of circulation and consequently Of
advertising. Formerly the advertiser was
supposed TO do his best to dupe the public.
The newspaper advertisement was consid-
cred on par with circus bill. Now such
Misrepresentation or exaggerations are
not only considered dishonest, but poor
business. and the advertisements Of today
are generally reliable and to be depended

the newspaper has come to seek most earn

is weeded from the pay roll. We congratu-

Independent, Not Indifferent.


The Washington Star celebrates the fif-
tieth anniversary of its brilliant being with
the issue of number Commensurate with
the great journal that has become so prom
inent figure in the newspaper world of
the time. Washington papers were once
notable for being merely organs Of one or
the other side in politics when they were
not too insignificant to be worth enlisting
on either side This state Of things is com
pletely changed by. the ability and energy
that have been devoted to journalism in
the national capital since the passing away
of the old-time editor running as an at
tachment to the party that fed him or the
politician who kept him alive for selfish
reasons.
The Star has been especially instrumental
in changing all that, though it began in a
modest way. 1t has kept in the right path
of an Independent but not Indifferent
method. of ting public affairs and a
sense of honor about printing the actual
news that has gained for it an enviable
reputation. The Star is notable among
newspapers for it's sparkle, and twinkle,
and solid radiance. The News extends con-
gratulations to The Star on its anniversary
and its 114page anniversary issue, and be-
speaks for it a long life and an uncouded
one.

"Aergraph" Proposed.
Editor Of The Evening Star;

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Evening Star Of this date cites from
one of its exchanges an appeal to lexicog-
raphers for single word as a substitute
for wireless telegraph. Though not lexi-
cographer. but only a patient conner Of die
tionaries. | venture to suggest that "aer-
graph might meet the requirement. Then
aergram would express the Idea Of a wire
less telegram. Biographies might serve to
designate the science OF wireless telegraphy
and geographic and aergrammic, as adj
sjeetiNes. would have an obvious import.
