Kline, Real Master
of Newspaper Game

Isaac Kline, former Richmond news
Chicago Tuesday, not only was the
founder of the Richmond Item, but be
probably was the first newspaper man
in Richmond who made use of modern
methods of news gathering and of
playing up the extraordinary fea.,
lures of news stories that developed
from day to day.
He was genuine reporter In the
true sense of the term. His ideas of
what constituted real news differed in
most respects from other writer's in
Richmond in the earlier days of his
newspaper career, for he was certain
to find, and to give emphasis to, a
certain angle of a story that the other
writer's on opposition papers had fail
ed to see. His resourcefulness was
considered wonderful by the reading
public, and it was appalling to those
who worked against him on other pa
pers. Seldom did Kline permit the
opposition to beat" him, and seldom
was it that his own paper did not
score one or more Exclusives"
Kline and a brother, both Of them
mechanics as we'll as printers, began
the publication of the Item as a Sat
urday advertising paper. 1t was so
filled with ginger" and sparkled with
the wit and personality of Isaac Kline
that it became popular at the outset,
and it was not long until it blossomed
forth as a regular daily, with offices
on the third floor Of building near
the corner of Main and Eighth streets,
where the Union National bank is now
located.
Kline Edited Paper.
Those were days of trial for Kline.
The mechanical equipment of the
country daily at that time was COM
paratively crude. The old flat-bed
press that Kline used was as unre-
liable as the weather, and publication
hour ranged any time from 2:30 in
the afternoon up to 8 o'clock. Kline
not only edited the paper in these
days, but he wrote all the news it
contained, supervised the mechanical
department and ran the press. He
was a compositor, and much of his
time, when not on the streets rounding
up the festive" paid local and news
stories, was spent with composing
stick in hand.
the time that Kline put in at actual
work. but even with this sort of
grinding routine, day in and day out,
he found time for employment at
things that interested him. He was
musician of rare ability, and was at
various times a member of local or
chestras. His children inherited the
musical abilities of their father and
the Kline Family orchestra was one
of the organizations of which the city
saw mich in the early eighties
The Item under his management,
while lacking the financial backing of
contemporary newspapers, was grow
ing in both popularity and circulation.
1t was in 1881 that Kline startled the

line casting machines were put on the
market, and Kline had disposed of
his newspaper interests before the new
invention had been introduced to Rich
mond.
1t is a matter of local interest that
Kline was also the first newspaper
man in Indiana who ever used a half
tone engraving. Not only did he in
troduce this style Of pictorial repro
auctions in newspapers, but he was
the first man in Indiana to master the
chemical and mechanical problems in
connection Herewith, and he was the
manufacturer as we'll as the user of
the the first half-tone in this state. His
methods were crude, but the principle
still employed in this work is exactly
the same as Kline made use Of.
There was no branch of the printing
and newspaper business that Kline did
not understand, and he was master of
some of it's most complex problems.
He was of jovial disposition, loyal
to his friends, absolutely fearless Of
his enemies, and possessed of that
rare attribute which would not let him
fail in anything he attempted.

ATTORNEYS ARGUE
HAWKINS WILL CASE
BrOadhus Claims Deceased of
UnsOund Mind to Disin-
herit Mrs. ChitWOOd.

Attorney Broadhus, of Connersville.
tor the plaintiff, Mrs. Belle Chitwood.
Of Indianapolis, and Attorney Byram
Robbins, of Richmond, for the de-
tense, in the suit to break the will Of
the late Daniel Hankins of Corners
Vile, who left an estate valued at
over $4,000, presented arguments to
the jury in Wayne circuit court today.
This was the seventeenth day of the
trial. The case was venued from the
Fayette circuit court. Arguments were
continued this afternoon and more
will be made tomorrow. 1t is expected
the case will go to the jury tomorrow
afternoon.
Attorney Broadhus argued that Han
kins did not name his sister. Mrs
Chitwood, as one of the benefciaries
because he was of unsound mind at
the time he drew his will
He said expert alienists had testi-
fed to this fact during the trial, CIV
ing their evidence that he was vic
tim of monomania. He said that one
Of the evidences that Hankins had
suffered from a mental disease was
the fact that in the later stages Of
the disease he was pronounced AN
cestor worshipper," and evidenced I'm
natural family pride; that he i'm
Hgined his sister had married beneath
her station and that he had referred
to her husband as a drug fiend. Be-
cause of his aversion to Mrs. Chit
woods marriage he became very bit
ter against her, Broadhus contended
Cites Testimony.
Referring to William Hankins, one
of the beneficiaries of the will, having
been left life estate in part of the
property, and who would be greatly
benefited should his sister succeed in
breaking the will but who refused to
be a party to such action, Broadhus
said that the brother indicated at the
time of Daniel Hawkins death that he
suspected he might be mentally un-
balanced. The attorney said William
Hankins had stood by his brothers
casket and had remarked that if he
had not been named as a beneficiary
in the will his brother must have been
insane.
Attorney Robbins in his argument
began by calling attention to the fact
that numerous witnesses had testified
that Mr.. Hankins had never evidenced
an unsound mental condition and that
he was justified under the law in dis
inheriting his sister if he so desired,
and that it occasioned no surprise
when he took such action.

owners of other local newspapers by
installing typesetting machine. 1t
was the first machine ever used in
Indiana and the middle west, but of
course, was not of the modern pattern,
for the Kline machine was actually a
"typesetter," and not line caster as
the linotypes of today. The machine
had been exhibited at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, as
product of a German genius, who
had failed to capitalize his brains after
producing the first device for compos-
ing type.
Kline bought it for a song, it was
said. and he moved it to Richmond
and put it at work on the Item. 1t
consisted of two batteries of metal
chutes, arranged in two parallel rows
high above the keyboard. In those
chutes the types were distributed by
the hand method, several girls being
employed to load" them The batter
les when filled were ready for use,
and a touch of the letter desired on
! the keyboard released a valve at the
base of the chute and permitted the
types to run into a long channel, and
thence into the stick, the justification
being attended to by an assistant to
the keyboard operator.
Used Five Years.
The machine was used for four or
five years, and there were many news
paper men and printers from Indian.
apolis and other parts of the state
who made special trips here to wit
ness it in operation. Some years later
typesetting machines built along sim
liar lines were manufactured in this
country, and they were improvements
over the Kline machine. All of these
however, were quickly relegated when

readers believe that the Examiner does
not state facts regarding official
procedure. But just as the Examiner
has said in the past, the public has only
to refer to the official records to
verify the Examiner statements, and
in regard to the Stanley-Baker case,
the Examiner simply asks any one
interested to look up the court records,
and it will be found that the Examiner
statement is correct in every detail.
The growing feeling among the
public that newspapers which con-
tinually try to mislead their readers
should be obliterated is echoed by the
Examiner editor. Correspondents may
and often do make mistakes. But editori-
al policies which seek to foster misrepre-
sentation for selfish purposes have no
place in modern civilization. The
desire of certain Index stockholders
to reinstate the old standpat guard of
county Office holders is probably the
excuse for continued falsities regarding
the offices of prosecuting attorney
and sheriff, but it is hardly likely that
the taxpayers will ever again cater to
crooked campaigning in order to slip
monthly salaries into certain yawning
pockets.

H. D. Merritt, democratic
candidate for congress, was in
Colville the first of the week on
a tour of the northern counties of
the district. This is his third
campaign for congress, having
been nominated in 1910, and
barely escaped the statewide
nomination in 1912. AS dele
gate to every democratic politi-
cal convention, both state and
national, he has been an enthusi-
astic supporter of w. j. Bryan
and a leader in the party affairs.
He has been in business and law
in Spokane for many years, and
at present is connected with a
silo company. His long aquaint-
ance with the democrats of the
district is one of his principal
assets in the campaign. He is
one of the very best campaign
speakers in the State, and one of
his strong political assets is his
reputation as a political Fighter. "
He has the build, the inclination,
and the vocabulary to make him
a superb platform fighter, and
in conventions and on the stump
he always makes himself known.
If he ever gets to Congress, the
state of Washington will be
heard from. for thare is nothing
slow about Merritt. He has al
ways carried Stevens county,
and probably is the best known
democrat in the district. Many
of his aquaintanceships were
