and Mrs. /. Thorn Golding, of High
street, has had a rapid rise as q news
paper nan An article appeared in a
recent Issue of The Editor and Pub
Usher giving an interesting account
of Mr.. Golding's success In the west.
1t is as follows:
Louis T. Golding, publisher of the
"News-Press" of st. Joseph, Mo-, is
one of the most active workers In
promoting the rapid development of
that substantial western city. Mr..
Golding went to st. Joseph in 1903
and in association with C. M. Palmer,
of New York, bought the Daily
News and the Evening Press" two
evening newspapers which had been
engaged In q disastrous newspaper
war. These he consolidated under
the name. ''News-Press." The new
property has been very successful.
st. Joseph has long been promi-
nent as a jobbing and livestock mar
ket, but until lately has been some
what backward as a manufacturing
and retail center. Mr.. Golding early
recognized this need of his new home.
AS soon as the strenuous work Incl
dent to the consolidation and q four
fold expansion of mechanical plant
was finished, he entered actively into
public projects for closer commercial
relations with the rich country sur
rounding st. Joseph.
Advanced City's~ Interests.
Much has been done in three years
in which he has taken a prominent
part. He Is one of the directors of
the st. Joseph Auditorium, a splendid
structure seating 1000 people and
costing a quarter of a million dollars,
now nearly completed by public sub
scription, for the accommodation of
political and other conventions; he
helped to organize and is n of the
directors of the Business Mems
League, which is bringing factories
to the city and is also building a half
million dollar hotel; he furthered the
organization of a Retail Merchants
Association, which Is doing much to
benefit, that line of business; he Is a
director in the St. Joseph, Savannah
& Northern Railroad, an interurban
electric line now being built with the
backing of the Business Mems
League to bring st. Joseph into closer
communication with the counties to
the north, northwest and northeast.
Sent to Washington.
When the meat packing business of
the, country was threatened by the
Chicago packing house disclosures of
last summer, the St. Joseph livestock
market, the fourth in the country,
was threatened and the Business
Mems League sent a committee to
Washington to protect that interest.
OF this committee, which included the
mayor of st. Joe, Mr.. Golding was
! chairman and as such presented the
excellent sanitary and hygienic con
ditions of the st. Joseph packing
plants to the House Committee on
Agriculture and to President Roose-
welt.
To these public projects Mr.. Gold
ing has given not only the active
support of his newspaper, but much
time and labor. These activities have,
however, not been at the expense of
the "News-Press," which has steadily
progressed and is recognized as one
of the substantial newspaper proper
ties of the Missouri Valley. Mr..
Golding has reached his majority in
newspaper work, having entered 1t in
1886 at the age of twenty. Eleven
wears of that time were spent on New
York city papers in all classes of SER
vice In the news department, and ter
minating with two years service as
managing editor of the Commercial
Advertiser" now the "Globe."
