TRANSMISSION.

Scientists through abstruse calcula-
tons have advanced the theory that
the earth is shrinking and have even
estimated in inches the gradual less
ening in superficial dimensions.
Regardless whether their conclu-
sions arc justified it is certain that
for all practical purposes the world
has grown immeasurably smaller in
the last few decades and the principal
agent in bringing distant places close
to each other has been and is the
short line seen in the columns of The
Evening Leader, "By The Associate:
Press"
These words are the embodiment in
print Of one of the greatest organiza-
tons of today, a mutual cooperative
enterprise known as The Associated
Press, its membership more than elev-
en- hundred strong covering the entire
United States, and its correspondents
and affiliated agencies spread over the
habitable globe.
"By The Associated Press" has come
/ to be regarded as the hall mark of
truth, the sign manual of verify. The
dispatch beneath it may bear Paris
or London date; may read from Pc
king or Bambay, from New York or
HoOppole, Ind, but with those words
above it its truth is certain.
The ordinary methods of transmits
sion, the telegraph and telephone
ordinary but none the less wonderful
in most cases have brought the news
to the columns of The Evening Lead
err. Minutes have sufficed to carry the
intelligence where once days and
even months would have been required
and so we neighbor with the other side
of the globe.
In bringing the news to The Leader
no means of transportation is over
looked by The Associated Press, al
though the principal method employed
us the telegraph wire. With the ex-
ception of the telegraph companies
(Which have no other business) there
is not an organization in the world
which has complete control of as many
miles of telegraph lines as are under
lease to The Associated Press. It's
