Clean and Enterprising.

rom the SaralOglan-
The Washington Evening Star has been
added to the list of papers which have pass
ed the half century mark of useful endeavor
in this country and the event has been cele-
brated by the publication of a special an
niversary supplement of many pages, at
tractive matter and profuse illustrati on.
1t is something to have survived fifty
years of business stress and endeavor such
as is peculiar to the newspaper field; but to
have survived it SO handsomely and profita-
bly, in more ways than filter through the
counting room. as The Star has done, is
given to comparatively few newspapers Of
the country. 1t Is natural that this half
century mark should be an occasion Of
great qualification to those who have la
bored and are today laboring to make The
Star even better and brighter and purer in
its sphere of illumination. For we may
venture to suggest that it is on the cleanli-
ness Of its columns well as in their scope
Of enterprising newsgathering that the SOL
idity of its present success has been most
builded.
The special edition with which The Star
observes the occasion is an excellent ex-
ample Of the printing art. 1t contains much
Of lasting benefit as to pictorial and letter
press description of not only the papers
early years. but of old Washington as it
was when The Star was young.

From the Saginaw News.


The f1ftieth anniversary edition of The

connection with the progress and develop
ment Of the national capital such as we
have not seen heretofore. 1t consists of ia
pages including the art supplement, and in
typographical excellence Is notable
achievement in newspaperdom. The Even
ing Star enjoys the distinction of covering
its field absolutely. No paper in it's terri
tory is even a rival SO far as circulation
and influence goes. 1t is one of the most
conspicuous examples in America of the
supremacy of the evening newspaper in
these days of modern newsgathering May
The Evening Star grow even more lumi-
nous in the next fifty years. if such a thing
is possible. than it Is today, for it is a

and wishes that 1t may long shine with an
ever-increasfng brightness. Judging by the
facsimile of the first number it was but a
mild little twinkle, indeed. that appeared
upon the evening horizon OF Washington on
the 10th of December. 1852 and yet it gave
promise Of usefulness. which it has much
more than fulfilled. THE Star will beam
