The Plate Printer, a Washington
trade journal, In recent issue has the
following to say Of Congressman Fin
ley: There are few committees Of the
national congress that must assume a
greater responsibility to the public
than the committee on printing. Hav-
ing supervision over the printing and
distribution Of more than seven mil
lion dollars worth Of public documents
annually, the printing committees Of
congress must exercise a great amount
of vigilance and firmness to restrain the
zeal of congress itself in its desire to
supply the ever-increasing demand
from all over the country for the in
valuable publications turned out from
the departments, and Uncle Sans
great publishing house, the govern
ment printing office at Washington.
The placing at the head Of the house
printing committee Of Hon. David Ed
ward Finley, was a wise selection for
many reasons, but especially because
of his familiarity with the require
ments of the office gained through
several years experience on the COM
mittee and also for his advocacy OF
giving to the great common people OF
the country the educational advan-
tages of useful government publications
without any unnecessary waste OF the
public funds. Mr.. Finley has In his
personality that which has made the
southern men respected the world
over a cordiality that does not invite
undue familiarity, a dignity which is
natural and not assumed, sense Of
honor in all things, as impregnable as
the Rock of Gibraltar; in other words,
he Is a true southern gentleman"
