Chllders, editor of the Colambia Herald aad the Troy Free Press, toM the students la the School of Journalism la a talk today. The subject of his address was "The Country Newspaper." He urged the students not to become cogs in the great machines that grind out the metropolitan dallies but to go to the country where they could become great forces for good. Mr. Chllders has been editor and owner of the Troy Free Press for thirty years. As an orphan boy he started the newspaper. He says that he is going to write his own obituary so that be may tell the people of Troy how he appreciates their goodness to him. "With small capital a young man may start a country newspaper, make money and at the same time be a great force for good in the commun ity," said Mr. Chllders. "I began my newspaper on a capital of $78. The teacher and the preacher have a small group of hearers, but the coun try editor has a whole community to speak to each week. 'No one knows the names of the men that bead the departments of metropolitan newspapers, let alone the ordinary writers. One is lost in the city newspaper environment My advice is to go to the country, make a big circle of friends, and be a leader in the community." MM mini LEJM MTMPRINTS R. W.

Statesman Publishing Company. Down stairs in Virginia Building on 9th. Robert W. McClaughry; a stu dent In the School of Engineering of the University of Missouri, should be an expert criminologist if ancestry counts. Mr. McClaughry's father, C. C. McClaughry, is warden of the Iowa State Reformatory at Anamosa. His grandfather is warden of the Kansas State Penitentiary at Leavenworth. An uncle, M. W. McClaughry. ia in charge of the Government Bureau .of Identification at Leavenworth and is an expert in the use of the finger print system which is used there in taking care of the criminals and insane. Mr. McClaughry, the student here, understands the use of the finger print system himself. He studied it under hlB father at Anamosa last summer. It Is a simple matter to take the finger prints of a subject, Mr. Mc Claughry says, and any one can learn that part of it in half an hour. The outfit for taking prints is simple. It consists of. a marble slab about a foot square and all ordinary printer's rol ler. In taking the print a small quan tity of ordinary printer's ink is placed on the roller and this Is drawn several times across the marble slab until the Inkjis well distributed. The tip of the finger is then touched to the slab and rolled slightly to each side. The print of the finger is then produced on a sheet of white paper in the same manner slightly rolling the finger in each direction in order to get the full pattern. From this print any number of reproductions may be made by the use of the camera. The System Is Aecmrate. Mr. McClaughry's father advocates the establishment of a central identifi cation bureau at each state capital to which the authorities of the various counties and the officials of institutions should be compelled to send the finger print records of all convicted crimi nals, Insane, idiots and feeble -minded persons. The first step in this direction was taken several years ago by the govern ment in establishing the Central Iden tification Bureau at Leavenworth, of which M. W. McClaughry Is in charge, Here are kept the finger print record of all the criminals in the state peni tentiary and of many other states, In cluding those in the Missouri peniten tiary. A pattern is made of the fingers and thumb on both hands of the crimi nal, peculiarities are noted down and the prkta are elaasllei aad lied away. 8 perfect feYta? lasicatk avstim tkat'altnosgfc there, 'are iboit; S,M dUTereat.-print ok 'record there,' Mr, McClaughry Is able to take a 'print seat in-for identification aad In five islaites'caa teif-waetaeror aot the print is oa file there. The finger oiiat system Is much more accurate than the BertlUon method, the system of measurement which has been ia use so long. The chances for two persons to have ex actly the same print is one in about oae hundred and forty million. Finger prints afe of four general patterns the whirl, arch, loop and tented arch. They also vary In the number of lines. The strong feature in favor of the system Is the fact that the pattern or number of lines in the finger print do not change from Infancy until death and cases have been known where prints have been taken of a subject some time after death. History of the System, In taking the print of the more des perate type of criminal it is often necessary to put the subject under the influence of an anaesthetic before a fcati8factory set of prints can be ob tained. It Is possible, Mr. McClaughry says, to Identify a burglar from finger prints left on a window glass. He told of one case where two men guilty of robbing the malls, were identified and convicted by means of their finger prints left on the envelopes. The finger print system was first de-1 veloped by Sir E. A. Henry, a British officer in India, where the finger print was used by the natives in affixing their signatures to legal papers. Lat er it was introduced Into England as a means of identification for criminals by the detectives in Scotland Yards. Mr. McClaughry's uncle, M. W. Mc Claughry, was at one time in charge of the rogues gallery in Chicago. Later he went to France where h3 studied the Bertilton system under Bertillon himself. He used this sys tem entirely until 1904 when he went to Scotland Yards as a special agent in charge of the Government Bureau of Identification to study -the finger print system and it was be who first introduced the system into this coun try.
