intent were they upon settling their dispute
that they did not notice that the form, which
probably weighed around 200 pounds, had
worked up to the head Of the cart. No sooner
had they let go the handle than IL Topped
clean oyer. When the cart was removed there
was to be seen the finest case of ''pi" any one
would care to see. Type, slugs, cuts. leads,
rule reglet, and everything that then went to
make up form was there in one cor1glomerated
mass.
There was absolutely no salvage. every bit OF
the type had to be reset and distributed before
it could be used again. and the most remark
able part of all to the writer that these two
men, the last he saw of them, were down on
their hands and knees Scooping up the type
and the other printing material and carefully
putting it into the cart, when they would have
shown better judgment to quit the job there
and then. If they never did before, they surely
needed friend that day. - s
Speaking of old-time printers, and printing,
the writer has often wondered If, after all,
much of the revolutionizing of printing Is not
due to two washington men, who in 1919 were
granted a patent for printing by means of
rollers. Their names were Burgess Allison and
William Elliot. To explain the situation, all
printing today is done with rSllers made prin-
cipalIy of molasses, blue and glycerin, while
prior to 1913 ball made mainly of pelt or
composition, or dauh, was used.
It was IN the last year mentioned-or four
years ago before the washington patent-that
two Englshmen, Richard Mckenzie Bacon and
Bryan Donkin. invented a roller which consisted
of an iron center covered with leather which
in turn was covered with roller composition.
Just what the exact construction of the WASH
ington patent was the writer does not know,
but If it followed out the lines of what we use
today, or even led up to it, then it was an
epochal invention, and deserves mention even
above all other patents issued to the many re-
markable inventors who have lived in this city.
DERHAPS the writer passed over Peter Force
too briefly last Sunday, for of all the print
ers of this city, from the very beginning to the
present time, none is worthy of quite SO much
praise as he, and what he has done for his
adopted city and the country at large viii ever
be remembered as long as this grateful Nation
survives.
Ainsworth r. Spofford, librarian of Congress
for many years, and an enthusiastic member Of
the Columbia Historical Society," to whose pub
locations he was an able and willing contributor,
has left with us an excellent account of the life
of this distinguished printer and historian
which is well worth drawing from for this
article Among several things, Mr.. Spofford
has said:
Peter Force lived for more than half a CEN
fury in Washington, having removed here IN
1915 from New York. He found washington Q

RESIDES mentioning Senator Cameron, Mr..
Croggon refers to the following as having
distinguished themselves in other fields: Luther
Severance, who founded the Kennebec (Me.l
Journal; william Woodward who went West
published paper and sent son to Congress;
L. A. Gobright, long the agent. of the Asso-
ciated Press; john T. Towers, who became
mayor of Washington. and A. T. Cavis Column
bus Drew, Josiah Melvin and Joseph B. Tate,
who afterward became editors and publishers.
According to MIR. Croggon, after the transfer
of the ownership OF the InteHfgencer m 1885,
the equipment removed from the north
west corner of ID and Seventh streets to the
Polkinhorn building at 638 d. street, in the
building which is still standing and the first
floor of the old building converted into stores,
occupied at different times by Sol and Abe
liable, g. F. Timms Robinson & Parker, r.
Harris & Co. and others.
In referring to printers in Congress, of which
there now quite number the name of
Amos ]. Cummings cannot be omitted for he
was indeed one Of the printers best friends.
Nor in speaking of members of the craft who
have distinguished themselves could we leave
out Samuel Woodwork, author and poet, who
wrote those beautiful lineS-which we have
sung so often-"The Old Oaken Bucket" Of
which the following are two of the three verses:
"How dear to this heart are the scenes of my
childhood,

dent and a printer in this city. Here he soon
became known as an active and public spirited
citizen whose judgment and Sagactty made an
impress upon all who were brought into contact
with him. In the seventh year of his residence
he was elected to the city council then to the
board Of aldermen, being chosen president by
both bodies, and in 1886 he was elected mayor
of Washington, and served by reelection four
years-untl 1910. Besides thus filling with
signal ability and dignity the highest civil of
fees IN the gift of his fellow-citizens he was
also honored with the highest military Office
having been made successfully captain leuten-
ant colonel, colonel and major general in the
Militia of the District Of Columbia. He was also
for some years president of the National In
stitute for the Promotion Of Science.
SRUT the great distinctive service rendered
by Peter Force to his countrymen was far
above the province of the highest official sta
ton or military rank. Very early in life he
evnced a jealous interest in historical investiga-
tions. and four years after coming to Washing
ton he originated and published an annual de-
voted to recording the facts of history, with
statistical and oficial information of varied
character. This National Calendar and Annals
of the United States as he called 1t. antedated
by 10 years the publication of the old American
Almanac, and was continuously published here
from 1920 to 1886. except the years 1925, 1926
and 1927. when none were printed. In 1928
Force established a semi weekly newspaper, the
National Journal, which became a daily in 1924.
and was continued until 1881. This jOural was
independent in politics, with moderate and
conservative views upon public questions, and
it drew to its columns some noted contributors.
among them John Quincy Adams.

doing justice to the opponents Of the admin

among Mr.. Forces publications of greatest
value to the students of history were the SERIES
in four octave volumes. Of Forces Historical
Tracts These were reprints Of the rarest early
pamphlets concerning America, long out of print

could not afford to own, but borrowed them

monumental work of his life. was published ut
intervals from 1897 to 1853. 1t embraces the
period of history from 1774 to December, 1776,
in nine stately folio volumes, printed in double
column and most thoroughly indexed These
archives constitute o storehouse of original in
formation about two momentous years of the
revolutioary struggle and especially concerning
the Declaration Of Independence, of inestimable
value. To this work, the bold conception of his
own mind to contain nothing less than the or
iginal fountains of American history, repro
duced in systematic chronological order, he
dedicated his long and useful life. For it he
assembled, with keen, discriminating judgment
and unwearied toll, that great collection of
historical material which now forms an invalu-
able part of the Congressional Library.
'eNor was the literary and historical zeal of
the subject of our sketch by any means con-
fined to the early history of America. He dig
nifled and adorned his profession of printer
as did Benjamin Franklin before him, by
original authorship in many fields He was pro-

printing and the controversies over its true in

small library of books printed in the infancy

later. He studied the subject Of Arctic explora-

COME day, maybe the printers of Washington
will erect o monument to Peter Force. It
would indeed be a grateful tribute to o great
man. .--..
In recording the names of some of the well
known printers who formerly worked on The
Star, perhaps the writer failed to mention the
name Of John Heydler president of the Ma.
honal Base Ball League, and no doubt there
are others whom he cannot now recall. 7.
Just 30 years ago, James Croggon in writing
of Old-time printers working in the composing
room Of the National Intelligencer before 1920.
mentions the following: Simon Cameron,
Francis COyle, Andrew Tate. John, H. Wade,
John Erskine. Thomas G. Foster, Judah Delano,
Thomas, Larner. John, s. Gallagher. Michael
Cation. George Cochran, James Wilson, W. Kerr,
Joseph F. Reed, John Brandon. Patrick Crowley,
Martin King Joseph Balm and James A Ken

OF these, no doubt. Simon Cameron was the
most conspicuous. He was apprenticed as q
printer at the age Of 10 In Lancaster County,
Pa. After working on the National intelligence
here he returned to his native State where he
purchased the Harrisburg Republican, which he
