For a long time this tended to give Chinese journalism a furtive h -- an influ not yet wholly eradicated. The papers which sprang up in the ports were like the secret societies - which flourished there, weapons to attack the ruling powers. They did not hesitate to resort to the use of outrageous innuendo and even barefaced falsification, be- smirching the personal character and official record of those in au- thority. To this day it is, for ex- ample, difficult to mirror the facts concerning the character of the late Empress Dowager from the fabrica. tions of the revolutionary editors of Shanghai and southwestern China, .

The Miehle Press is undoubtedly the most popular and probably the very finest type of cylinder press manu- factured, being capable of turning out the highest class of process color work, giving perfect register and cor- rect distribution of ink to reproduce the fine shades of color intended by the artist.

Here the printed job work is' finished ready for delivery to the customer. This may mean simply inspecting a job and wrapping it for delivery or it may mean, as in the case of a book- let or catalogue, a large amount of work including folding, gathering, stitching, trimming, etc, Perhaps the most interesting ' ma- chines in the bindery are the folding machines. There are two of these, one a "Brown" Folder, which is used for general book. work, and the, other, which has been newly installed, 2 Model R Cleveland Folder, which is a marvel of versatility and efficiency. The Cleveland Folder is made in England, is very sturdily constructed and practically foolproof, Instead of tapes, which are usually part of a folding machine mechanism, the sheets are passed along by means of metal rollers, which permit of much simpler operation and practi- cally eliminates annoying © delays which are common to tape-equipped machines of all kinds, | The Cleveland Folder installed in The Times office will handle any size sheet from "4x6" to "20x26" at a | speed of 175 fect of paper per min- ute.

The sheets are fed into the cylin- der press either by hand or by au- tomatic feeders as may be desired, and are delivered automatically, meatly piled, at the opposite end of the press. When the printed side of the sheet is dry it is then put through the press again and backed up either with the same form or a dif- ent one, according to the layout the particular job that is being inted. The Miehle Presses in The Times office are equipped with gas drying @pparatus to permit of printing high grade work without offsetting and are otherwise up-to-the-minute in ey- ery respect. A night staff is employ- ed in this department to keep work of an urgent nature moving stead- fly. This permits of giving extra good service to job printing customers. Where there is plenty of park- fog space Jlile is dull.--Toledo Blade. lished by foreigners must be ac- knowledged in studying the reasons which led to the founding of these Chinese papers. In 1827 James Matheson began to issue the Canton Register, and from this theré has grown a body of periodicals that jn- cludes daily newspapers, weekly and monthly reviews, commercial organs, humorous and illustrated papers, and magazines dealing with scholarly questions concerning the life of the country. Many of these papers have "been edited by missionaries, who must be regarded as forerunners of the new journalistic day in China. At pres- ent the most influential are those published in English, but there are other papers printed in French, Rus- sian, Japanese, Italian and 'Portu- guese. Chinese journalism began its ca- reer in the port cities, particularly those under foreign control. Con- sideration of the simple but effec- tive method by which the Manchu dynasty censored the efforts of any who might not agree with it will suggest why this was the case. The Chinese editor might attack the im- perialism which placed the "grasp- ness, the demand for a change was "sold" to the Chinese people. Three eyents mark this deyelop- ment in Ching's journalism. In 1898 the Emperor Kwang Hsu, under the influence of the reformer Kan Yo- Wei, issued the ediets of reformation which brought about the coup d'etat by which the Empress Dowa- ger, supported by the troops of Yuan Shih-Kai, made the emperor a pris- oner and resumed the policy of re- action. Balked of his designs in Peking, Kan Yo-Wei fled to Japan, and from there led the journalistic agitation for revolution. The impetus for an independent journalism in China was supplied by the defeat of the reform- ers in 1898, In 1900 the reactionaries were fool- ish enough to allow themselves to be tied up with the Boxer movement. The utter failure of that uprising gave the old regime its death blow. Because the Manchus had lost face they had lost authority. From that moment the new forces could develop in comparative safety, and news- papers began to spring up all over the country. .

Ideals of Work While it 'would be an impertinence for me in my ignorance to tell you how you should conduct your busi- ness, yet I feel that I cannot do wrong to read to you the words of one of the greatest of living jour. nalists on the ideals of your pro- fession. Speaking of journalism conduct of a newspaper, --""Fundamentally it implies hon- esty, cleanness, courage, fairness, the sense of duty to the reader and our con- and the he said: is all that China needs to make its newspaper producing processes equal to those of Western lands. The new phonetic script can now be set by machine, but so far no genius has come forward with a practical me- thod of doing away with hand labor in setting up thousands of ideo- graphs of the old style writing. It has been estimated that a Chinese typesetter has to walk three miles in order to set up one page of a news- paper in these characters. p-- ndery Equip ONE OF Books and catalogues are printed on large gheets, usually 8, 16 or 32 pages at one time, snd very fine color adjustment, enabling expert pressmen to turn o ut the highest grade of color work, -- ment Unexcelled . THE THREE MIEHLE PRESSES THAT DO HIGH GRADE JOB WORK These machineg give perfect registel the community. The newspaper of necessity something of a mono- poly, and its first duty is to shun the temptations of monopoly, Ifs prim- ary office is the gathering of ncws. At the peril of its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted. Nei- ther in what it gives nor in what it does not give; nor in the mode of presentation, must the uncleudad face of truth suffer wrong. Com- ment is free but facts are sacred, Propaganda, so called, by this means is hateful. The voice of opponents no less than .that of friends has a right to be heard. Comment also is justly subject to a self-imposed re straint. It is well to be frank. It is even better to be fair.

It is in the firm belief that these ideals which I have read to you are the ideals of the majokity, possibiy of all, the great provincial news- papers of England that I feel such pleasure and honor in proposing the toast of the Newspaper Society, (Cheers.)
