The Evening Star merits the hearty con-
graduation Of its readers upon the compile
ton Of the first half century of its publica-
ton 1t has always stood for all that Is
best and most progressive in clean and
wholesome journalism. Irs policy mas been
consistent and conservative and its edi-
torials the equal of those Of it's most am
bilious contemporaries, while it's clever car
toons have been no inconsiderabIe feature.
Its news columns abound in full and rell-
able reports of the current news of the day.
and they sngularly free from sensa-
tional or other Objectionable matter, so
much so that 1t is favorite In the home
circles of Washington and holds an en-
vable place In public esteem. Founded
when Washington was little more than
fairly prosperous village, 1t has grown with
its growth until, like the capital Itself it Is
here to stay. Its new home, one of the
most beautiful and costly structures In the
city. Is a monument to its enterprise and
business success. Thus equipped and thus
ably managed The Evening Star will con-
tinue to grow In popular esteem and work
out It's mission for good in the field of mod
ern Journalism.
