about printing presses it is hardly nec- essary to know in this day and age. He required but few days in which to put this huge machine together, fit ting each of the some 15O0O separate parts into its proper place, parts that seemed when strewn about the base ment floor, to be too numerous to ever get together in one compact and well organized machine
 As soon as MT. Bates is satisfied that there is nothing more to explain about the complicated press, and that all danger of defect is passed, he will go elsewhere and leave the Duplex in the competent hands of Daniel Huntington, foreman of the press department.
 The press runs so easily and quick ly that the observer can not realize its speed unless he approaches the delivery box and sees with what swift ness the papers are delivered. A de- tailed and comprehensive description of such a press as the Duplex is scarcely possible. Of intricate appear ance yet it is extremely simple in operation. Every part of the press acts in unison and no mistakes can occur except through the carelessness of the operator.

THE LABOR OF A LIFE.

The Republicans splendid Duplex press is not the work of a month or a year. but the labor of a life. In 1889 the Duplex Printing Press Com pany was first organized at Battle Creek. Mich. All was not to be smooth sailing for the new concern. For ten long years the company was in constant litigation over the funda mental patents, but in the end the plUcky inventors proved their title to the ideas they had originated, and from that time the history of the con cern has been one constant succession of improvements and advancements until. as a climax of the Twentieth Century Model of the Duplex press the one installed by the Republican has been produced. Not every man can set up such d machine as the Twentieth Century Duplex, even though he be a fine mechanic

MERGENTHAIER LINOTYPES
The Most Wonderful Invention Elm
 pIoyed by the Craft.

The next important feature of the mechanical department is that of the
 Mergenthaler linotypes or type setting machines. which are under the person. al direction of J. A. Ball an experi- enced machinist operator. This won derful invention has revolutioniZed the printing business in the last few years and The Republican claims some credit as a pioneer in the work In 1895 the first linotype was brought to Phoenix and is still in use on this paper form ing one of the battery of three in con stant commission. NO l." as the ma chine is affectionately called in the office, was one of the early machines bearing the factory number PAYS, all linOtypes being made by one concern and that having proved the most per feet of all type setting machines.

Many improvements have been made on this marvellous device in recent years so that by quick changes a great variety of type matrices may be used and almost any kind of commercial composition turned out
 When the No. 1 machine was in- stalled in The Republican office three were none in use west of the Rocky Mountains, except in San Francisco where some of the larger papers had installed a few for a certain class of composition, and in Los Angeles where the Times was then experimenting in their use. The Republican is there fore one of the early papers in the west to recognize the opening of the era of machine composition and it was one of the facilities that first gave it a lead over it's competitors. Three or four years later the business of the office had increased so rapidly another machine was found necessary and was added. About the same time a linO- type was installed in the office of the Phoenix Daily Herald, which property was acquired by The Republican in 1899 and the linotype added, making a battery of three machines. That par ticular machine however, has grown old with hard work and hard usage, has been returned to the factory, and a new one has now been installed in it's place. The other two machines have been repaired and placed fin good order, new magazines or fonts of type matrices have been secured and The ] Republicans equipment has thus been greatly perfected, and equal to any emergency occasion that can be now z fOreseen. though with the increased prosperity anticipated, it is believed | the time will not be long when still another machine must be added. No effort will be made to describe the in | tricate workings of the linotype. It must be seen to be appreciated, more than that it must be studied, but many are already familiar with them and those who are not are invited to come and see them.

 The forms, 12 in number, are placed Ipcn three stationary slides or decks and over these decks pass the impress sion and ink rollers. If fewer than ten pages are printed, one of the decks may be cut out, leaving but two sets of rollers to pass to and fro. These forms are slid in upon their sides and then locked in place by key and quoin, giving the bottom of the type and cuts a firm base upon which to rest and at the same time keeping them from shifting in any direction.

The star of The Republican is in its ascendancy and shining with an ever increasing brilliance, yet in the widen ing Armament of Arizona's expanding prosperity the zenith seems as far re- moved as ever. To say that this of ficial housewarming on the entering of The Republicans new home is the proudest day in the history of this newspaper. is but comparing present achievements with a somewhat event fui past It is no boasting of a finish ed work, nor admission of career full filled. ItNis confidently expected that as the veil of the future shall be lifted, other mile posts will be passed and many of them, on which may be bazed with the keen edge of satisfac- tion. those emblems that mark the trail of The Republicans road to sue cess.
 For the present fleeting hour it is sufficient to say that there is general rejoicing from the managing editor to the carrier kids that this newspaper is snugly ensconced in it's own home. Eighteen years from the cradle to the ro0ftree! Eighteen years of diplomat ic negotiation with landlords, some times arrogant and dignified. some times kind and indulgent, but always, landlords. Eighteen years of doubt whether to make this temporary i'm provement or that, whether to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous inconvenience or fly into other rented quarters and into the face of evils we knew not of. Now all is changed. It is with somewhat pardonable pride that the biggest and best newspaper in Arizona. though not the oldest, first of all the papers in Phoenix. moves into its own home, fashioned to it's own liking. suited to its necessities.
 The Republican building is not the largest structure in the world, but were it so it could not better serve the papers present wants. It is situated on the northeast corner of Second and Adams streets. is 50 x 10S feet iE size, and practically two stories high, one being a sub-story or half basement, better suited for the heavier machinery than any other The walls are thick and strong. adapted for the adding of other stories when they shall be re- quired. The building is of brick with matthoid roof, perfectly ventilated, with high ceilings, the latter of ornamental steel. The floor of the basement is mainly of cement, at least that portion of it devoted to storage purposes. The building is surrounded with a cement sidewalk and at its rear is an elevator for the lowering of machinery and roll paper into the basement The windows are numer- Dus on both floors, mOdestly ornament al and an attractive gilt sign apprises the passer by that he is in the shadow of the happiest and most hopeful newspaper in the great southwest.

THE ELooPINe ROLLERS.

These looping rollers perform very important function-that of re- ceiving the constantly incoming pa per, and at the same time delivering the constantly outgoing web. while the paper between these two looping rolls remains stationary in it's path of trav- el during the time it is being printed upon by two impression cylinders and immediately after the impressions are taken, and the printing is done by the cylinders in their travel in either di- rection, that portion of the web which has been stopped is moving forward the proper distance to- bring sufficient blank paper for the next impression or the printing of the next paper.

TAFTS CANDIDACY.

Presidential postmasters who met
in North Yakima this week express
ed almost unanimously a sentiment,
in favor OF Secretary Taft as the next
presidential nominee. Here is found
something Of great interest, as it
expresses not alone the sentiment OF
the men but reflects as we'll some
,hing Of Roosevelt's feeling toward
the present secretary of war. Pres
idential postmasters. as a matter of
policy. must more or less fall in line
with him who gave them their posi-
lions.
Roosevelt is not the manner of
man. however. to demand perfect
acquiescence from his appointees.
and it does not necessarily follow
that postmasters made their state
ments favoring Taft as result of
appointments. The statement made
in the Herald by Postmaster Hart
sen of Spokane was most flattering
and gave a general idea CT the opln-
ion of presidential postmasters in
the state These men have their
finger upon the political pulse and
il may safely be argued that their
word is law when it comes to the ac-
tual sentiment among the people Of
the state of Washington. There
seems to be small doubt that Taft is
the choice of Roosevelt. No man has
been more beloved by the American
people for a man who has fought
the battles of peace and as a Sc
quence if Roosevelt will not run
again it seems logical that Taft, who
is the choice of the president. will
also be the choice of the populace

Congressman Jones is an excep-

elements of strength in a single per-

and the sheep-and the running
brooks-and is thoroughly intimate
with nature-and the lover of all
her products
while Mr.. Jones was thus grow
ing he matured a large brain, \
strong body and a most active and
energetic spirit-and therefore en-
tered politics as one thoroughly
equipped for the race.
His simplicity of manner-h' $
foll knowledge of the work in hand
and his devotion to what he under
takes, makes Congressman Jones a
strong man, an influential personal
