territory OF Oklahoma had to bear
was the printers graft. and under
statehood and democratic rule the
state printing has been reduced 10 a
business system where the printer
received his pay and the state receiv-
ed fun value in return for the money
spent The printing has to some ex-
tent gone out 10 different portions
Of the state and has moi been confined
10 the Guthie plants
i is extremely important that the
office of public printer be filled by

is honest with both the state and

New York. Aug. l6.-ln the office of
the New York Herald there hung a
sign not many weeks ago which read:
IF you want to find out who's boss
here. start something"
An inqusitive reporter from the west,
who during his two years on the paper
had not seen the man who dominated
everything in the office. did start
something. and back from Paris came
"A cablegram. Five Smith" And Smith
found out that James Gordon Bennett,
owner proprietor and editor who does
not come tn the New York office more
than once in two years, was boss just
the same. Every detail of its manage
ment comes up to Mr.. Bennett.
Each morning he is up early and
lays out the plans for the day and
sends them by cable to the New York
office. where these details are followed
out implicitly. Each day from the
New York office is mailed an edition
of the Herald to Mr.. Bennett. with the
name of the writer of each story at
tached to the bottom so that he can
tell just which men are and which
men are not producing results. Mr..
Bennett is stickler for detail and es-
pecially for the neatness of appearance
of his staff.
James Gordon Bennett was born in
New York 81 years ago. He presents
a striking military appearance. with
his gray hair and mustache and mil
itary carriage. He inherited the Her
aid and has made it one of the great
American journals. He is especially
proud of the New York Evening Tele-
gram. because he started this paper
himself after he had inherited the
Herald.
