educated to the fact that quality in
newspaper, just the same as in pair
of shoes or in a beefsteak, was de-
termined by the price. You paid for
what you got, and conversely the news
paper that would live must deliver tine
quality for which it was priced. This
is what has made a sixteen-page press
necessary for the T.-R. Its readers
must have bigger and better news
paper. They are entitled to ten pages
regularly, twelve pages frequently and
sixteen pages occasionally, and they
want it all newspaper, and no supple
ment, so they will get what they want.
More correspondents will be engaged.
More telegraph bills paid, more type
set. A sixty-four column newspaper
daily will give way to one of seventy
columns and each of the seventy col
umns will be an inch longer, adding
two columns more to the total size.
The readers net gain will be eight col
umns daily, forty-eight weekly. z,496
columns yearly, and the subscription
prices will remain the same. In place
of two pages Of special Iowa news
there will be three pages. The serial
story will run all of the time instead
of half of the time. There will be
more general news and a general ton
ing up of every department. Ihe
Times Republican has invested thous-
ands of dollars of hard earned money
in this new press, the list price at the
factory for this machine is $4,000, and
there is going to be renewed energy in
every department to build the newspa-

in Kansas, only worse, as the Irishman
would say. The state has only five cit
les from $1,000 to 10000 population.
The Topeka Capital, which serves the
whole state and is published in the
capital city of nearly 100000 inhabi-
tants, exceeds the T.-R.'s circulation
and so does the Wichita Eagle, most
famous newspaper, published in a, city
of nearly $4,000 people, but the best in
the other three towns is only half .he
size ofsthe T.-R.
Here in Iowa the T.-R. beats the
best there is at Fort Dodge. Keokux,
Muscatine, Clinton, Ottumwa, Wafer
loo, Burlington and Cedar Rapids; cit
les ranging in size from $4,000 to 35,-
600 Inhabitants. In fact, outside of the
two big cities of Des Moines and Sioux
City, the only daily newspaper circu-
lating in the state larger than the
T.-R., are at Davenport, 10000 people,
and Council Bluffs, 10000 people. where
the cheap, penny papers do a big bus
mess because of their low price.
In all the United States there is not
another city of $4,000 inhabitants pub
fishing a daily newspaper with a cir
culation equal to the Times Republican
and it is only in the most thickly pop
ulated interurban districts Of the east
that any city of less than 25.000 peo-
pie can be found with daily newspa-
per circulation equal to the T.-R.
Whatever of hot air there may be in

Growing circulation, enlargement OF
its news field, progress of the age, have
made it necessary for the Times-Re-
publican to double its press capacity.
hence the purchase of the above new
Gnss press, which is to be installed
the Times Republican press room
during the present month. 1t will print
and fold all together in one section as
many as sixteen pages at the speed
Of $50 complete papers per minute.
For over twelve years the Times
Republican has possessed a perfectlng
press, printing its newspapers at hlsh
speed from stereotype plates, but the
press was limited in capacity to elsht
pages and whenever exceptional news
or extraordinary advertising was to be
handled, it was necessary to print Inc
paper in two sections, running one sec
tion off early in the day and following
with another section. When the pa
per reached the reader, no matter how
much money and effort had been spent
on it to fill every page with live news
reading, the public always looked upon
it as news section with a supple
ment, and the supplement- was denied
the attention it deserved. This kind of
printing is too slow for modern news
paperlng.
The new press is known to the trade
as a double deck press. Built very
much like the old press. it prints eight
pages on the lower deck and then has
an upper deck which will print eight
pages more at the same time and fold
them all into a single section, making

worded speech. "The foreign policy OF

at length upon the relations between
Japan and America. He said:
..The friendship of Japan and the
United States Us traditional 1t is ao-
sol,1tely essential that both maintain
unimpaired those sentiments OF amlsy
and extend and strengthen them by
everv means. Notwithstanding the per-
feet accord which has always existed

tries dn the far east and in the Pachc,
it appears that doubts have been en-
tertained in some quarters concerning
the sincerity Of intentions.
Agreed as to Policy.
.In order to remove this misunder-
standing the two governments have
deemed it advisable to exchange ddplo-
matte notes officially announcing a.
common policy, which am convinced
will be largely instrumental in pre-
serving the repose of the orient. with
regard to question Of legislation uhfav-
orable to the japanese now pending in
California, the Imperial government IS

American people. together with the
friendly disposition of the federal gov
ernment, and is confident the question

cations"

d4tions assigned to Japan it has be-
come necessary that our people. III
stead of scattering in foredgn aands,
shall concentrate in the far east, thus
securing a united effort looking to
legitimate activities and avoiding ev-
erything likely to obstruct the develop
n1ent Of International commerce and
Industry. These considerations have
led the government to follow an
ayowed policy with respect to emil
grants to Canada and the United
states, enforcing in perfect good faith
