MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production of a Great
journal Involves.

The ordinary reader, as he opens his
daily journal, is content with a vague
feeling that it somehow edits and com
poses itself; he seldom reflects upon
the immense amount Of organization.
upon the care in the selection OF news,
and even upon the mechanical skill in
adjustment SO that every column may
be exactly filled, which are required
for even the most normal issue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which it all has to be done. That a
great paper should appear morning
after morning generally correct in its
news, readable and sound in its liter.
airy matter, accurate in its printing,
that it should be distributed all over
tn country and the world at the right
moment, Is none the less a marvel
