Col. Wade H. Harris Tells of the
Trials of Former Newspaper Days
“There is never a sorrow in wbicji
I do not share; never a happiness'
in which 1 do not rejoice,” Col.
Wade H. Harris told the several
hundred people at the Chamber of
Commerce Monday night, in response
to their tributes of love and ejtteen
on the occasion of his reaching he
aOth anniversary of hfe editorial
activity.
He recounted the improvements in
the printing art during bis half -yen
tur.v of connection with it, the shift
from the political, sectional and
personal editorial policy of the past
to the saner and more constructive
policy of developing a community add
a iieople a'ong all elevating lines.
His talk of appreciation foHows:
Thp Modern Press.
“The telephone, the automobile, the
phonograph, the flying machin.- and
the radio are wonders of yesterday; 1
they are regarded as commonplace
l,(day. We are less interested in. these
things than we arc in whpt-timor
row may bring. The public does not
eveu wonder at the marvelous
achievements of the modern printing
press, which is of less appreciation.
i than almost any othgr inventiou. I
The printing art of toddy is tremen-!
dnusly advanced over that of 50
years ago.
“The machine that prinfs the pa
l>hrs today is culled a printing press
by force of habit. Some call it a
machine, but it is even more than
that. It is a factory from which* the
completed newspaper is turned out,
just ns a h°-t of cloth is turned out
from the loom. And it manufactures
newspapers with incredible rapidiH,!
the pages being assembled in regu
lar order, folded and trimuted and
token from the press .as a many|
hooks might be taken.
“The machine is constructed op
, the plan of an office building to
which story upon story may be add
ed for accommodation of a larger
! number of otyupnnfs. In the case of
i the newspaper pres#, it it deck upon

* printing prtns has become obsqlcte.
I * “ was caUcd the Washington hand
■ prest. It required 22 motions of the
! hands ahd 27 of the l feet to prhit
i one of the weekly paper. lor the
I process involved the picking up of a
;I sheet from a pile on a tabtc, trans-
I! ferring it to the tyinpan, the pu ling
! down of the frisket, the folding under
‘ *nd over, the running of the bed of *
I the press under the platen, the
pulling down of the lever that made I
the impression, the release of the!
lever and the same operation in re- j
1 ver-e, to the laying of the sheet on a |
second table.
1 “InjcOSe the publication day was I
Saturday, the sheet carrying the first
and fourth pages was put to press
'"On Wednesday, the second and third |
pages on Friday. The printing of
an edition of (100—and many Weekly |
papers would brag on a circulation J
.of that Wge—was the work of half si
(.day for each run. I could turn over]
; the eopj for an edition of The Sun 1
to the machine-room of any modem
p'ant niul see the entire job com
pleted within an hour.
Newspaper Debt a Joke.
"The papers Os that day—dailies
and week'ies—were four pages and
the usual price for a weekly was one
dollar, although she better establish
ed papers went as high as $1.50, and
!'» rare cases to $2. The easb-in
j advance system would have been re
ceived as an insqlt. It was nard
J work to get n. man’s name in the ■
i book* on -credit and harder to coi
| lect. A newspaper debt was not con
sidered a. debt at ail. It was more
of a joke than ,a debt. They went to i
heavens by the doaens owing me ii j.
dollar on the paper, knowing, too,

k "As there have been radical
(changes in mechanical 'processes, so
! have there been changes in edito
rial policies. In former years editors
gained dietirctiion main y '"through
political writings, to which was
sometimes attached sectionalism.
Greeley, Wattenson and Dana were
were men of that type.e There are at
this time few editors of similar dis
tinction, because editorial anility is
measured by a new stanourd. The
political editorial has its season. The
edjtooal that promotes the welfare
of the people of town atuL county,
state- arid nation. morall/T socially,
industrial')-, educationally, and re
ligiously. has all seasons for its own.
Hcncst With People.
| “The princip'es which guide my
| editorial are simple. In the
first place, my constant endeavor is
to be honest with the peop!e. I would
be unfair with none, and would give
all, from highest to the humblest, the
square deal. I never permit pre-
Jrilice or jealousy 'to influence the.
editorial
“I carefully found my convictions
anrtyl stand by them, but at the
same time, I am tolerant of the
opinions of others. I' would rather be
sympathetic than bitter. There is
never a sorrow in which I do not
share; never a happines in which I,
do not rejoice. -
“I love "to give comfort to the old
people, Thi- i.-» best done by cham
pionship of their simple creed—faith
in God and belief in His word.
“I can recall a day in the well
remembered long ago. It was at the
close of a week of hot and grimy
work. I took my seat forlornly on
the back steps of my office and look
ed out across the vacant space to
the gnarled in front of the squure
walled Presbyterian church. Back of

■ “My hands and face were smeared
with my jnk and oil ami sweat, and in
the .treasury, to show fer the !»bors
of the week, nothing but a peck of
. dried .apples that had been brought
in on subscription. It was then that
I conqured the first rebellious hour,
of. my life. Thoughts came to me of
the world beyond that horizon and
hope sprang that some day I might
be out there playing a useful part in
its activities.
“Tonight J rea’ization overwhelms
me that reward has come in fuller
arid ~ richer measure than I' might
have hoppd to deserve, evert though
it comes at a time when the shadow
lengthens behind me.
"But what do I care for that?
This meeting has smoothed my
pathway, -bus- quickened my foot
steps, has warmed my 1 heart. In

a brighter glow, and all before me
looks hiuch more beautiful.
“This token could have come to
Coe only through tbd channel of af

the shape of a wish—a wish that
surges from a heart of overflowing
with gratitude. And it is th'is: that

MONEY FOR STATE
North Carolina Gets $8,868 ’for Na
tional Roads and Trails.
I Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 16.—(Ari—For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1925,
N&rfb Carolina will receive $8,R68
from the federal government for na
tional forest roads and trails and coun
ty roads and schools, as Its proportton
ata part of the receipts from the nat
ional forest resources. This fact is
pointed out infa Department of Agri
culture bulletin released for publica
tion today.
Total receipts from the national
fortest resources for the year were $5,-
This sum is $251,766 less
thari the receipts for the previous fis
cajtVar. but larger than the
average annual receipts of the pre
ceding live years.'
Sales of timber jjnd livestock graz
•rtgipermits were responsible, fer mbet
for most of the money received $2,-
940,393 having been paid for timber
and $1,725,377 for grazing permits.
Ifermits for the use of national forest
lands for summer homes and other
fo'rihs of special use, including wpter
power, brought in $334,367.
'Under the authority of the act of
Congte-s governing receipts from nat
itonal resources, the sum of $1,271,-
276 will bt> paid to the state contain
ing' national forest land for the use
of- the school and road funds of the
counties ill which lund is situat
ed. In addition, the sum of $497,182
tlerived from forest receipts will be
extended by the forest service in
building roads and trails within the
forest areas. Other road funds are
provided by speciah-npjpropriations.
' With the exception Os these sums,
the balance of the receipts'—s3,23l ,-
fflW—will be paid into the general
fund of the United States treasury.
The amounts the various states will
receive for county road and school
ftfttds are calculated on the basis of
one-fourth of the total receipts from
national forest resources within each
separate state. The funds for roads
and trails within the forests aqe com
muted on a one-tenth basis.
Twenty-eight states and Alaska
share in the distribution of the two
funds.
Tlie amou**n-eceivcd by North Oar

By CHARLES P. STEWART
i NEA Service Writer
Washington, Nov. 16.—Just one key
' position, in the -Washington of the
1 originnl L’Enfant design, remains for
’ a monument of the very first class,
and a row is on as to whom or
what it shall t>e erected to.
Os these five key sites of Major
L'Eufant’a plan the first, at the een
-1 ter, is occupied by the Washington
' monument. On the second, to the
northeastward of the monument,
stands the capitol. To the southeast
ward. on the third, is the Lincoln
memorial. To the northwestward,
fourth, is the White House. The
fifth, to t'iie southeastward, down by
the Potomac, is vacant.
It’s been granted, however, by a
; congressional joint resolution adopt
ed February 12, 1025, for a Roosevelt
memorial. Now the cry goes up
that this resolution was irnssed in too
much of a hurry—that Col. Rooseveit
was all rig'it but not necessarily the
only man the country ever produced
worthy to class with Washington and
1 Lincoln.
* « *
Admirers of the late President Wil
son are particularly emphatic i« dis
puting the colonel’s claim to be re
garded as cne of the nation's three
greatest men. Woqdrow Wilson takes
precedence of him,' they say.-
Others think the site should be oc
cupied by a memorial or monument to
no single individual; that it should
repsesent some idejfl instead.
A third group believes no monu
ment should be erected in the capita
to any cne who has been less than
fifty years dead.
The McMillan commission, appoint
ed in 1001 to see that L’Enfant’s
planSyWere adhered to as Washington
grew, favored a memorial to the
founders of the constitution^
At any rate, an effort is sure to be
made to have the Roosevelt resolu
tion rescinded when Congress meets.
It is equally sur£ to be hard fought.
oohh F. Caldwell, ll Succumbs at

Caldwell, 09 years of age, apd a
