Of the Salvation Army, a WORKOUT pri-

GUS opportunities were offered him, but
he failed to take them, seeming to lack
the courage and energy essential to
success. Forced into corner and
asked what he could and would do, Hen
derson feebly asserted that he was a

Henderson was the tenderest of ten

wild whoops and gunplay Of the cow

been overlooked, but he refused to

The Art OF Newspaper Printing.

| The present period is one marked by
great transformations and striking de
velopments in the art of printing in its
various departments. and especially in
the construction of the printing press
This is notably true of the great ad.
vance that has been made in produc

arrived when nearly all kinds and
grades of printing is done from the

and telephone communication, is an
exponent of the whole world in all its
varied interests. political, social, COM

This development calls for increased
facilities in the rapid production of the
newspaper This demand is met in the
invention of the Duplex press. the sec
ond of which and of the most modern
type, The Argus has just installed in
its press rooms. The superior advan-
tages insured in the Duplex press are
afforded not only in the saving of time
in going TO press after the forms are
made up. but in the clearness of print
which is especially notable in the use
of illustrations.
The press subject is one to which
The Argus has given considerable
study from every standpoint. day by
day for some time back as the need of

Political Bankers.

Before the primaries the republican
candidates for state treasurer made
promises TO refund all interest on state
deposits Nothing was said of this in
the convention. however. and now it
appears that the reason the nominal
tion went TO John F. Smulski is that
he is organizing a political bank in
Chicago. The stockholders include a
good many of the party leaders, both
in Chicago and out-men who can be
relied upon TO deliver delegates when
necessary. Among these. it is said.

publican state committee; Postmaster

The cause ascribed is the meager-
ness of the clergyman's salary. 1t is
no reflection on the religious spirit or
sincerity of a young man if he hes

do all this on a salary of less than

salary he was receiving and what he
was expected to accomplish with it.

damaged was proportionately as great
as in our San Francisco disaster. These
two cities occupied relatively the same
position in regard to commercial i'm

tic reports, extending over a period of
50 years, you are fully justified in be-
