"Havc you made any general csti-
mates of the expense of such plan,
or prepared any synopsis of the way
in which it could be exccuted?" asked
Mr.. Morton, with the first manifesto
ton of real interest.

and expense of doing so until I had
a conference with you" replied Hes
tor, who guarded himself against
over-enthusiasm when he saw that
he had made some progress. ut will
require considerable capital, much
work. and good judgment in the exc
cution of the plans; and more than
all, the most rigid secrecy must be
maintained. You are the only man
to whom this subject has been
broachcd. and | need not ask you to
regard this matter as strictly conf
dental in case YOU should decide to
do nothing in the way of its advance
ment."
Mr.. Morton nodded his head and
growled a consent to this injunction,
which he evidently regarded as un-
necessary.
II would start this syndicate in n
chain of 80 cities, with two papers in

Mr.. Hcstor then entered into a de-
tailed and comprehensive explanation
OF the proposed newspaper trust. lie
submitted figures showing that 60 pa
pcrs could be purchased for less than
$i1j. 100000. and proved that these pa
pers were then earning 100000 g
year. or more than five per cent. On
The required investment. Hcstor pro-
posed rctrenchment in three impor-
tant departments, VIZ: the Sunday
papers. the editorial stats, and the
abolition of the advertising agency.
Instead of preparing 90 Sunday Pc
pers. the syndicate would print four,
each of surprising excellence. These
four papers would give all syndicate
papers in contiguous territory dis
tinct Sunday paper. Each of these
four Sunday papers would have a
marked speciality. and each would
strongly appeal to n cert ain class OF
readers. One would make IA special
ty of amuSements: another of htera-
tlre: the third of fiction, and the
fourth of science and art--but each
would be n complete magazine. Hes
tor showed that four such Sunday
magazines could afford to employ the
highest literary and artistic genius
of the world. and proved that no
competition with them would be pos
.iblc. The saving would amount to
not less than S4.OOQ,0OO year. in the
single item of Sunday papers.
The editorial department would DO
conducied on n similar plan. Instead
of 400 editorial writer's rs at pres
ent--he would have a staff of 20; ac.
knowledged authorities in their re.
spectivc spcciaIties. The editor-in.
chief would keep in touch with the
owners of the syndicate. who would
thus be able to dictate the thought
of the country in the leading rcpub.
