6 J V ( LeglMallve Candidate The Republicans of Webster coun ty should be car. if ul ir. - selecting their cacdWates fo t legislative hocors rthis fall. Select candidates whose official rifi'cnl will stand the closest scrutiny ar.d then no uptake will likc-lv heicade. At all events select men who will not, undo ths splendid work of the last- Legislature in deal in" wUh tie i railroad transportation question. Mr. A. J. Kenney of this city, who wis a member of the lower Hou?e of tht. last Legislature and is now a candidate for State Senator, tool: an active part in securing the passage of the present law. cieating a board f tr;.ucpoi tation with power to fix rates. The board is fully empow ered to examine tlr.e books ot the var ious railroad companies, toleanntheir interior wi.rkiags, cost of conatruc tioit, operation, and (tler details that will enable tliest to pass an intelligent judgement upen the rate question. Judge 0. 1. 31fcoi, one of the seore taries of the board, and one of the abler lawyers -in the state, seems to be well satisfied with both the spirit andktterof t.ie law. In a recent discussion of the rate problem he stated that '-the -only course open for the b: rd of transportation in the dis charge of their official duty, is to hew to the line of the law, and see that the rates are reascnable without re gard to -the consequences or without reard to th. threats of retaliation on the parUjf the railroads or those who pretend. to speak in their favor.'" The action of the.Iast Legislature placing tL-is law upon the statute book was far in.advancc of ether and more ltopulous cri the western states. In Iowa the rate problem las been under discussion fcr twenty years and the tejii-lature refused to clothe the com missioners wl'.h power to lis rates. This left -the r,aads in that state un checked in the matters -of fieight charges. Ilert in Nebraska where the question ha5 been under disscuss ion before the people less than ten years, the legislature gave .he people protection against .extortionate rates by creating a board and clothiog it with a full power to fix rates. One year after this law was passed the legislature of Iowa enacted almost a verbatim ccpy of the Nebraska stat ute. That material benefit to the people has resulted from the passage of this law no one can doubt. Even the Omaha Bee, whose editor favored a:i inflexible tarriff law, has several times admitted in its editorial col umns that the law and the board created by it had resulted in many concessions to the people from the rj::ds. And even after these concess ions were obtained, and after the board had more fully investigated the question, now comes an order from the board reducing freight rates from fifteen to fifty per cent. But the part Mr. Kenney took in securing the passage of this law does not complete his record in the rail road transportation question. In the republican state convention last fall there was a sharp contest between the people and the railroads over the nomination of a candidate for sup reme judge. The railroad lobbyists were, there in full fore for the pur pose of defeating the nomination of Ju3'e Maxwell on account of un fr:M.dly decisions already rendered, and !iis anticapated decision of the p.iv.rr of the present law then pen din., before his court. It may be oi Hi! crest to the people to know that Mr. Kenney was a delegate to that convention, and was the only one of nine from this county who voted for the renoini nation of Judge Maxwell. Then Mr. Kenney 's record on the transportation question is all on the side of the people, and of a character that ought to satisfy the rankest anti monopolist. Argus.

To begin with, the work of the paper is divided into Seventeen Different Departments, each under its own responsible Superintendent. Let us take them in order as tliey stand on ilie weekly pay-roll: l. The Editorial Department. This includes managing editors, city editors, telegraph editors, exchange editors, editorial writers, special writers, ana aoom thirty reporters. The Daily News staff is admittedly without a superior in the West, anil numbers ................ 5o a. The Telegraph Room. To save time special wires are run into The Daily News building, and the paper's own operators take the messages and hand them immediately to the telegraph editor. The number of operators is 3 3. The Compositor's Room. When "copy" has passed the hands of the proper revising editor it goes to the type-setter. There are a good many of him in The" Daily News office on an average . . 73 4. The Linotype Room. But the compositor doesn't do all the type-setting. The 'Linotype" machine "sets type" by casting a-line-of-type, on somewhat the same principle as the type-founder casts a single type. Fourteen of these machines are in use in The Daily News oflice, and the number of persons required in this department is ... . 20 5. The Artists' and Engravers' Department. But the metropolitan daily now gives its readers not only reading matter, but also illustrations. By the aid of good artists, zinc etchers and photography by electric light The Daily News is now printing the best newspaper illustrations in America. This takes the best service of skilled workers to the number of .............4 6. The Stereotype Foundry. The matters-type and pic tures being now "locked up" in "the "forms" the work is next transferred to the foundry. A metro politan daily no longer prints from its type. In order to print a large edition quickly it is neces sary to multiply the -printing surfaces, and this is accomplished by casting duplicate stereotyped plates, from which, after they have been fastened to the presses, the printing is dune. Of stereo types Tun Daily News requires 8 7. The Press Room. The Daily News uses sis double perfecting presses, capable of printing 100,000 com plete papers per hour. To run these there are required men to the number of 20 The foregoing takes no account of the special correspondents at hundreds of places throughout the country; of European correspondents; of fifteen hundred news agents throughout the Northwest who distribute The Daily News to its out of town readers; of two hundred city carriers ; of forty-two wholesale city dealers with their horses and wagons; of one hundred and fifty branch advertisement offices throughout the city, all connected with the main office by telephone, nor of the abouj three tlauieand newsboys who make a living, in whole or in part, selling The Daily News in Chicago. This is what it cost' the publisher to make a Chicago Daily News. It costs the reader to buy it one cent a day. Measured by the cost of itt production, TnE Daily News is worth its price, isn't it? The Chicaaa Daily News is sold by all newsdealers, or will be mailed, postage paid, for $3.00 per year, or 25 cents per month. Address VICTOR F. LAWSON, Publisher The Daily News, Chicag.
