Only a few years ago it took days and even weeks to get the news from Washington, where today it is a mat- ter of minutes—and authoritative news from the Capltal of the United Btates is sent by Navy wireless to insular possessions and the Far East. In the Capitol bullding galleries are provided for newspaper men directly above the Speaker's seat in the Housu and above the Vice President’s seat in the Senate. There the reporters can hear the debates on .the floor, have ready access to the members and keep In-constant and close touch with all legislation. They also attend all committee meetings where legislation is being considered preliminary to its being reported to either branch of Congress. They- attend the ses- slons of the Supreme Court, hear the decislons when they are read and get printed copies of the decisions. When any of the many committees of the House or Senate decide to re- port on any measure, the reporters are allowed to see the report and t |the day following they get printed coples. When a new tax bill, or reve- nue measure or an appropriation bill is ready to be reported these news- gatherers are called in and the meas- ure is explained to them so that they may fairly and truly tell the people just what it means. At the White House, or Executive Manslon, a pressroom is provided and accommodations are given to the re- porters in the lobby through which all visitors to the business office of the President pass. In this way they have an opportunity to interview the President's callers. The President also has regular hours for ‘“confer- ences” with the newspaper men in which he discusses matters informal- 1y, and allows them to ask him ques- tions, reserving the right to decline to answer any of these questions. Tt is an unwritten rule that he must never be quoted directly by them, eX- cept when a formal statement Is made. Stmilarly, regular conference.days wher the cabinet officers have they D.

In addition to this practically every important agency of the Government maintains a ‘“press service,® Wwhere articles are prepared setting forth information that the Government agency wants to get before the peo- ple. There are also a number of Government publications to Which the reporters have access to aid them in getting all the news that the people of the country should have without their impeding the work of the Government by many of them in- vading the Government workshops and offices. There are actually hundreds of trained newspaper men—the best in all the land—gathering this news daily from all these officlal sources, plcking up what other news they can and interpreting it for the people. They work for the Associated Press, a co-operative news agency serving some 1,200 of the largest papers in the country; they work for other APRIL 2, 1925. _- rival news assoclations; they work for the Washingtor newspapers, and they work as special correspondents for all the important newspapers in the country. The press clations “flash” the important general news. Each big paper maintains its own ‘Washington bureau, with its own staff of correspondents, who are ex- perts on some particular line of news. These special correspondents “cover” particularly such news as is of .the greatest importance to the people of the communities in which their paper is established. Most of the news is sent by wire, but these Washington bureaus also send a heavy mail serv- ice, often by airship. In tribute to these news writers it should be said that they are con- scienclously zealous to report the situation accurately, and that they do not spare themselves to get the truth. The Washington correspondents are recognized as one of the most im- portant agencies for stability of the Government and for the successful operation of our particular form of government, which is now the oldest in all the world..
