VIII Have to Pay Their Way.

Now that the national law
makers have, by the railroad rate
bill, cut off the issuing of passes a
great roar is being started by the
railroads about how many millions
of dollars it is going, to cost the
government for transportation for
government officers.
How about this, anwyayl Do
not our government employees,
from senators down, get reasona-
bly, good alaries and also allowance
for railroad fare at so much per
mile9 Will it hurt the govern.
ment any if this allowance for
fare is diverted to where it be.
longsl And why should the rail.
roads make a kick if they get paid
for what they have heretofore SC
kindly(0 donatedl
There is another thing that con
gress should look into in regarC
to the railroad business, and that il
the mail crying graft. Millions
of dollars are paid out yearly fo
carrying the mails more than tn,
service should cost. 1t is one o
the most notorious gratis tina
have grow upon our government
and should be most thorough.

would get the license while it wa:
handy.

The Washington times., 1906-01-28

TROM the many expressions Oh (
good will, and congratulations
L thar have come from all sec
tons of Washington and from All
classes, The Times has reason to be-
ueye that the papers requirement OF
IT'S own home is of very general in
terest.
II Is the ambition Of every news
PAPER to be installed in its own
quarters. It is the goal for which
all strive. and the event of attaining
its wishes is of more than passing
moment. The achievement is always
indicative of two well-established
facts. In the first place it signifies
that the paper becomes unequivoeally
Il permanent and important factor
IN the community. 1t means that
the owners have faith in the city
which is far above and more con
yincing than the commonly dubbed
newspaper talk" The erection OF
a newspaper Office. such as the. new
home of The Times, would be an evil
dence of the most extreme business
folly If the paper for which it was
built had not been going consistently
and rapidly forward, both CONNER
cially and from a standpoint of
popularity.
The second fact which is establish
ed by the requirement of new and
more commodious quarters is that
the paper has become a publication
of wide circulation and high stand
ing among the citizens Of Washing
ton. Had not the people Of Wash
ington accorded their support to The
Times. and had not the paper deserv-
ed this support, It would not today
be domiciled in its new home on
Pennsylvania avenue.
A Handsome Newspaper Home.
Though the building Is not yet
fully completed, every department of
the newspaper is now installed In it,
and this fact has brought a feeling
of personal pride and qualification to
the entire staff, business, editorial,
and reportorial.
This structure, rising ten stories
from the pavement, is one of the
handsomest newspaper homes ever
erected in America, and 1t is admit
tedly one of the most ornate build
ings in Washington. The equipment
from a newspaper standpoint is up
to the minute in completeness.
In order to gain some idea of the
remarkable deyelopmentof methods in
the province of newspaper making, it
will be well to follow a news item
through the various channels of the
Times Office until it IS presented to
the reader on the street In this way
only can It be shown how speed, which
is the watchword OF the twentieth
century paper. is attained in an Office
which embraces all the very latest in
ventions known 10 the science of the
newspaper world
News Hot OFF the Wire.
A great oonfagration takes place in

department reaches there. The de-
tails of the holocaust are Immediately
teIephoned to the various press Offices
OF the city. AS the accounts come in
they are handed to telegraph oper-
atOrs who are working on wires con-
nected directly with the Times Office.
The Times operators, who are sta
toned on the tenth floor of the new
building, receive the news and tran
scribe it on the typewriter. The New

matte tube, and almost instantly IL is
in the hands of the conpositors on
the second floor. The copy is divided
into number of pieces. so that eight
or ten men operating typesetting ma
chimes can be working on different
sections of the dispatch coincidently,
and thus get the matter set up in a
small fraction of the time that it
would have taken one man to COM
plete It.
Setting Up the Story.
The old style hand composition is
no longer used. Instead, the printer
sits down to Mergentnaler machine,
better known as linotype. This is
operated On the same principle as
the typewriter keyboard. AS the Yari-
Gus keys are struck matrics bearing
type faces are released FROM the sew
eral boxes and the desired letters
fall in place. making a 'line-of-type
This line is automatically spaced out,
and from it mold is then taken
which casts the entire line into a
solid piece, or slug of metal. This
is done automatically. while the
printer is at work setting other lines
of type. The matrices which have
been used for casting tne slugs have
in the meantime been automatically
distributed into their respective box
es, or, more properly, magazine re-
ceptacles.
In far less time than It takes to tell
it, the several men at work on the
machines have completed their sep
arate portions of the dispatch. IN
the meantime another machine has
been at work setting the display head
for the article
In the Proof Readers Hands.
The several fractions Of the story
are combined and a proof is taken
and sent to thep roof reader. The
| typographical errors are found, and

the article is thrust into its allotted

the type is securely locked together
to prevent any displacement of lines,
and the entire page Of type is trun-

the stereotypers are ready TO take

under a heavy roller and the paper

a perfect impression of the type on

These sheets are now dried on a
steam table and then are placed in

upon the paper. A curved plate is
thus cast, destined for the press.
Every impression made by the type
upon the matrix is reproduced in this
plate.
Then it is placed on a special ele-
yator and dropped to the floor below.

The trail being very fresh and broad,
we overlook a mixed band of Indians

800 head of stolen stock in direct south
