From
The Mergenthaler Lines o.
Type News
SOME FEW WORDS REGARDING
OUR FIRST MANAGING EDITOR

There was no sterotyping plant
when Julius Caesar was extant No
Mergenthaler sang its song. Octu-
pies had not come along. There was
no ink in reds and blues when julius
Caesar ran the news.
When Julius Caesar needed news
there was no telephone to use. He
had to climb aboard horse and get
exclusive scoops oy force. There was
not then, as We may guess, a good
Associated Press.
Because his method thus was
crude. they buried those he inter
viewed. which seems to indicate a
lack Of finer reportorial knack Still
one good point is clearly spied. His
interviews were not denied
When Julius Caesar edited, ex-
changes were not credited. When
he met items face to face he grabbed
them quick to swell his space. Thus
normally he came to be the first great
editorial We.
In many unother matter, too, he
did just what we fellows do. He al
ways did the modern stunt. He al
ways put the news up front. He gave
staff assignments tough and kept the
galIeys full of stuff
Though he could not rush news to
press in fifteen minutes more or less,
yet he had every other art that edi-
tors must have by heart. Just scan
his stuff. We've got a hunch you'll
say that Julius had the punch
When Julius Caesars time was
ripe, there was no Limo to Stick type
So Brutus with some other chaps
stuck his Old Roman Style in Caps

WHAT Ed. HAS ACCOMPLISHED

The rural delivery is indeed a boon
to the country. Its measureless ad-
vantage can not be estimated, nor
need the cost of maintenance be con-
sidered, for it has broadened the field
of industrial opportunity, touched as
if with magic power the possibilities
of human endeavor, and transformed
conditions to a degree almost marve-
lous. 1t has brought the printed
page, the great educator of civiliza-
ton. daily to the home; has brought
special delivery almost to the door;
has secured good roads and main
tains them by official interest and
concern; it has attracted the atten-
tion of the various States to this
question and obtained results; it has
made farm lands more valuable and
contributed to increased production;
it has abridged time by rapid COM
munication; frightened all environ
ment, and made ordinary dull rou-
tine interesting and attractive; it has
lessened toll by the instructive sug-
gestions which Government expert
ment and inquiry affords, and has
made the home a center of influence
and crowns domestic life with all that
makes for peace and contentment.

from the ends of the earth. Especiai-
ly for the children is attention caiied
IN ROWLAND. where, surrounded by the
beloved figures of Mother "oose
rhyme, the babies of the circus await
the acquaintance of the babies OF
humanity. Babies of the amman
kingdom in its every branch are
there, from baby kid glove goats
from far off France. to the baby lions
from Africa and the baby elephants
from India-all as glad to see the
children will be to see them.
Special low rate excursions Will be
run on all lines of travel. For intor-

fares and time of trains, inquire Oh

RAILWAY WAGE AVERAGE

In an advertisement published in
this issue of the New Era is given the
average wages paid railroad men.
Inasmuch as there is threatened
general strike unless the railroads
grant an increase this bit of informa-
tion is interesting. The vote now be-
ing taken by employees means an
enormous increase in wages which
would have to be paid by the rail-
roads. The figures given by the Ma
