relays Of reporters, copy readers, ed
itors and printers. In the smaller
town the railroad station on Sunday
would be as deserted as the average
metropolitan theater is now, and
throughout the length and breadth Of
the state the famous Saturday night,
with its surging throngs, would be
stricken from the calendar. Finally, if
Mr.. Chaney's bill became law, and
carried an emergency clause, this news
bureau would be relegated to the an

suppose you were sitting in rhe Office
Of the Madison tuesday, say, about
ten minutes after the first train from
ST. Louis got in. Well, look who's
