WHO'S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON EW YORK.—Henry L. Stoddard, one of the best of all American political reporters, friend of more Presidents and cabinet officers than any other living Stoddard on man, is the author Shirt-Sleeve Newspapering President,’ just mine of previous untold stories page to the news page.

Mr. Stoddard is ‘‘up from the case,” an ace political reporter and for 25 years owner and publisher of the New York Mail. “It seems to me that every re- porter ought to know the smell of printer's ink,”” he said. “The great newspaper of today, with all its marvelous efficiency, has lost something stimulating and vital in no longer having this mingling of the crafts. I re- member that, at Hitchcock's, a slovenly reporter might be called down by one of those om- niscient old-time printers, or perhaps it would be the other way about, with one of the news- men berating the press room foreman, and asking him why he couldn't manage a decent make-ready. “Theodore Roosevelt used to go to Hitchcock's frequently, perhaps with Jake Riis or Eddie Riggs of the New York Sun, and I remember James Creelman, Julian Ralph and a score of then famous politicians and newspaper men, mingling with the men from the mechanical de- partments, arguing over the world war scare, local and national poli- tics—everything under the sun. It was something like the free speech common in early colonial America, where you could step into the en- closure and say what you thought about the king or anybody or any- thing else. ““The gusto with which T. R. would dump a bottle of catsup and a slath- er of mustard on a plate of ham and beans, or corned beef and beans, was something worth seeing and remembering. “Frequently, these sessions at Hitchcock's were a post-mortem on the paper, just after press time, in which any story of un- usual distinction or a clean-cut news beat was sure to get a cheer, and quite as certainly any of us who had stubbed his toe was in for a raking over. My work has made me an ob- server of our efforts to estab- lish true democracy in America. I have never attempted an exact definition of democracy, but, whatever it is, I am sure it was exemplified in this craft ideal of the old-time newspaper, The spirit seems lost in the highly departmentalized, mech- anized and specialized charac- ter of modern large-scale enter- prise, not only of newspapers, but of business in general.” Stoddard’'s family newspaper tra- dition goes way back into the flat- bed days. His great-grandfather es- tablished the Hudson, N. Y., Regis- ter, in 1787. He learned the print- er’'s trade in his grandfather's print- ing office at Hudson. A proofreadeér on the Tribune at 15, he read proof on the famous Tilden Ciper dis- patches, a reporter soon thereafter, on the Tribune and the Philadelphia Press.
