This circular metal plate is finally
placed on the press and the process Of

So the reporters story, whether Inn
portant or not, has been put through
the mill and he, himself. never knows
what it is going to look like until he
seizes a paper and hastily scans it Ia

And it is because of these mechani-

BILE to get something in the paper that
is brought in late, to the mystification
and irritation, sometimes, of the one
wishing it inserted
Consider. always. the haste with

The truth is the making Of a daily

AN unusually interesting meeting OF

Mrs. Blankum in her charming home

a larger representation of the member

of the interest of the occasion and the

eyeOpeneFS OF tho newspaper novice
A statement that goes rippingly of
the tongue and sounds to the person
making it all right, may have quite
different appearance in print.
Neither does the average scanner of
the columns Of the daily paper have
any conception of how many different
mediums a ''story'-as everything is
called in newspaper office-goes
through before it reaches the public.
The reporter goes out to look up
ing.
Returns with his notes, often hastily
taken, of necessity, and in handicap
ping position. After deciphering them
and writing out his account he goes
over 1t and fixes it up" and hands it
to the city editor.
The city editor edits" it-that il,
eliminates all superfluities of state
ment and style, prunes down the SEN
fences, cuts out any fine writing at
tempted by the reporter. pastes the
remnants together and sends it out to
the board" whereon reposes all the
copy" to be turned into reading mat
ter for the papers public.
The man at the linotype machine
"sets it up" and empties 1t ION the
dump"-the big table from which the
galleys are made up for the taking OF
proofs.
The man on the Dump" arranges it
in the galley, with other "stories." If
your own isn't long one, inks the
whole and takes the proof into the
proof reader.
The proofreader is not the person
who wrote the story, nor the city ed
itor.
He or she goes over it, corrects all
errors of construction and sends it out
for correction by the man on the ma
chine.
He makes the corrections.
And here is the point in the ev0lu
ton of the reporters story which is
crucial.
Very few people understand that
| with a linotype machine a whole line
has to be reset if but one letter in one
word is wrong. In the old method OF
hand construction, the letter alone had
to be changed.
Hence the linotype operator may

COMPLIMENTS THE GOVERNOR.
Former Register Of Wills Luther A.
Palmer Says Gov. Crothers' Ad-
ministration is Best in 80
Years
Years,

Mr.. Luther A. Palmer, former Reg
! lister of Wills of Anne Arundel coun-
ty. and Republican in politics, has
written a letter indorsing Governor
Crothers' administration from begin
ming to end.
The letter comes as a fine New
Years compliment to the Governor.
and was received in the mail hy the
Governor yesterday. Mr.. Palmer lives
near Parole, few miles from An
napolis.
Mr.. Palmer was a member of the
Farmers Commission appointed by
the Governor In the letter. among
other things, Mr.. Palmer saws that
Governor Crothers has heen the best
Governor that Maryland has had in
the thirty years of his residence in
the State. In his letter Mr.. Palmer
says:
We are pleased with the work
your administration has accomplished
in road improvements, in the develop
m 4nt of the opportunities of country
life. in the economical management
of city and county affairs. From
wi ANohAiiS VI lile duNdUCPu papers OF
the message we believe it will be a
document that will appeal strongly to
the agricultural communities of Mary
land, as pointing out and emphasizing
the way toward progressive legislation
and honest and economical administra-
tion, and your recommendation are ali
the more valuable because they are
proposed by one who has given close
study to the many-sided problems en-
countered during four years Of actual
experience and honest endeavor to the
Gubernatorial office.
Anxious that the farmers Of Mary
land may have afforded them the op-
portunity to read and study your mes
sage, | earnestly request (and, think,
my colleagues on the Farmers Com
mission. will join me in the request)
that you have at lesat $4,000 extra
copies Of the message printed and
placed at the disposal of the commits
sion, which we will apportion to the
several counties"

A GOOD SHOW.
Boyer Theatre Crowded For Every
Performance Last Night.

If Manager Royer, in his far-away
Western Maryland home, is at all su-
perstitious, or a believer in things"
that happen on the first day Of the
year, being portentious Of good or evil,
respectively. he must be shaking hands
with himself this morning at the big
crowds that filed the Boyer Theatre
last night at the first performance of
the year in his playhouse.
All seats were taken at every per-
formance, and the audience was well
pleased at the good show. The reels
Of pictures were especially good, in
teresting, entertaining and 6or the
most part-thrilling.
Ford and Louise, as vaudeville head
liners, proved themselves excellent
entertainers. Both are good violin
players, and Ford plays on an instru-
ment that is a cross between a cello
and a cornet, from which he brings a
wonderful. yet sweet note, like the
wall of lost soul.
The duet "Cavaleria Rusticana" was
exquisitely played by Louise and
Ford. The policeman does a clever
comedy act and excites fun and laugh
ter and the entire bill at the Boyer
Theatre the first of the week is very
acceptable and worthy of liberal pat
ronage. Don't miss the show at the
Bower tonight.

LIBRARY IN GOOD SHAPE.
Governor Crothers Completes His
Message And Reports Condition Of
State Library Excellent.

With the exception of few little
things to be added, Governor trothers
has practically completed his mes
sage to the Legislature, which meets
tomorrow. He has, however, treated
all important subject to be discussed.
The Governor made public yester-
day the reference he intends to make
concerning the work of the State
Librarian, the Comptroller and the
State Treasurer. He compliments
these officials on the manner in which
their offices have been managed.
The Librarian saved the State 81 600
in discontinuing Those heretofore EN-
ployed to distribute stationery and
has made a reduction of $4,000 or
$4,000 in the cost Of supplies for her
department. She recommends that a
reduction be made in the number of
Senate and House Journals printed
and bound.
The Governor speaks in the high
est terms of the work of the Conn
trollet, and the State Treasurer, and
says their books are kept in splendid
shapes and audits of their accounts
show that they are absolutely cor.
rect.
