Democratic and Republican speak
ers are so far apart on the Payne
tariff law, after all. The Democrats
tell the city people that the tariff is
responsible for the high prices they
have to pay for butter, eggs. milk,
potatoes, flour. hay and corn; and
tell the farmers ii is responsible for
the high prices of fencing material
and manufactured articles they use
on the farm. The Republicans. on
the other hand, tell the farmers the
tariff is responsible for the high
prices they get for their butter,
eggs. milk. potatoes, hay and corn,
and tell the manufacturers and fac
tory workers, 1t is responsible for
the high prices that keep the Ameri-
can wage scale so far above that OF
Europe. Seems they ought to get
together easily on this proposition.

GREAT NEWSPAPER BEAT

| of the fifteenth round had been re-
ceived over the United Press wires
when the flash came. johnson wins
in fifteenth round
THE man who conceived this idea
of instantaneous transmission to all
points and set IL as the ideal was
Roy w. Howard, general news man
ager of the United Press. His right
hand man, who was to overcome the
mechanical difficulties, was J. j.
Rafter. superintendent Of telegraph.
Howard went to the scene and ar
ranged all the immediate prelimi-
naries. Rafter took a midway sta
ton at Chicago. He picked for i'm
portant places at the keys and type
writer's on the big trunk lines of the
association the best operators in its
employ. Howard ordered the in
stallation of visible typewriters at
all relay points, and to this as much
as to any one other factor was due
the remarkable speed attained in
forwarding the report across the
continent and to the Atlantic cable.
TO San Francisco, up and down the
Pacific coast and to Australia. AS
each word was recorded at a relay
point il was clicked of by the send
ing operator seated behind him.
The number of relays also had
been cut down. On the through
wire from Reno to New York there
was but one relay at Denver. There
was only one additional relay at
New York, for points in New Eng
land to the north and south. Thus.
between the ringside and Toronto.
and between the capital of pugilism
and the capital of the nation. there
were only two relays-and these
practically as instantaneous as me-
chanieal repeaters.
THE story of the great battle was
dictated blow for blow. clinch for
clinch. by Balthaser in the front row
at the ringside to the fastest send
ing operator on the Pacific coast,
who was seated beside him. The
description of each round was clear
at Reno almost before the clang OF
! the gong had ceased to reverberate
through the big pine pit.
Before the bell sounded for the
fifteenth round the crowds in front
of the Times Office in Washington
III. c.. had heard the full story OF
the fourteenth round, while the Eel.
lows up the street in front of the
Times competitor were Just hearing
the last of the twelfth round.
4 Hundreds of messages and let
tiers of congratulation from enthusi'
astic clients have been received by
the United Press since the fight. and
practically all of the United Pres
clients have boosted OF their success
! In beating competitors.
"The achievement adds one mor'
/ to the list of notable news beat
/ scored by this association since IL
organization. Among it's previou
best performances we're the beats OF
the death of Queen Victoria, tn
shooting OF President Mckinley. tn
signing of the Russo-Japanese peac'
! treaty. the election of Presiden
Taft. the story of the fall of Con
! stantinople. the Messlna earthquake
and the San Francisco earthquake.

The Fourth Estate, the leading
magazine for newspaper men, pub
fishes the following story of how
the United Press association, which
furnishes the Geographic news serv-
ice for The Evening Sun. beat all
competitors in handling the report
of the fight at Reno:
This splendid success was not
due TO mere chance. Chance often
plays a big part in the scoring OF a
scoop. But in this instance every
body had the same opportunity.
Everybody in the press association
field was striving for the same end.
That the United Press should be de-
clared the winner in the great news
contest was just as much the result
of careful training as was Jack
Johnsons victory in the fight of the
century There was just as much
studying of the opposition's good
points and weak poins before the
gong sounded and just as much gen.
eralship during the battle.
Months ago the management or
the United Press decided to win this
news contest If possible. 1t fully
appreciated the power of resources
of its rivals, and reckoned that they
would be Just as determined. 1t
assigned to the fighters camps two
of its best men, both of them not
only experts in the fighting game,
but all-around news men-Max Bal
thasar ('Ringsider) and George
Pulford Grip Wright). To these
men was given not only the assign
ment of covering the daily doings of
the two pugilists, but also of laying
preliminary lines for the big beat
If it could be done.
"No matter how expert and speedy
the men at the ringside might be.
however, their efforts would prove
unavalling without prompt handling
of their product all along the line.
There were matters of wires, routes,
repeaters and relays to be consid-
cred.
EARLY in the campaign a stand
ard of efficiency in the production
of the story and its transmission
was fixed. The report from the
ringside to the most distant client
should be instantaneous. If not, the
nearest to this that could be APP
preached. Never before had 1t been
deemed possible for a press associa'
ton to transmit for a continuous
hour a running story over a stretcf
of $500 miles of wire, with hun
dreds of clients intervening, and de
liver Il to terminal points coinci
dentally with the actions described
This. however. was what tn
United Press set out to do. TIT
result was almost as astonishing q

IL was to the editor up in Toronto
who sat at his desk reading abou

was heard in the arena at Reno.
Never before in the history o
