At about the same time he took a job as the editor of Pertja Barat which was founded in 1894 by Lie Bian Goan. 118 In 1900 when the Snelpersdrukkerij published Insulinde and Tapian na Oeli, Dja Endar Moeda sat on the editorial boards of both publications as editor-in-chief. Through the Pertja Barat Dja Endar Moeda made a name for him- self as a bold editor. His writings and his honest criticisms of the Binnenlandsche Bestuur officials earned him the respect of Dutch journalists who were serving on the Sumatra Courant. 119 Gradually, from his position as editor he managed to gain a foothold in the Insulinde Press by becoming one of its shareholders. In 1905 when the press was to be sold, Dja Endar Moeda bought it and started what became the first native-owned press in Sumatra. Sharp as a journalist, Dja Enda also had a cal- culating business sense. When the Pertja Barat's popularity was established he expanded his business into retail trade by setting up a shop which he named "Toko Pertja Barat." Dja Endar Moeda's interest in the press business led him to venture into found- ing other newspapers. In 1906 he started the twice-weekly Pemberita Atjeh120 [Atjeh Gazette] which was published at Kuta Raja, Aceh, and in 1908 he restarted the Warta 116 See Bintang Barat, No. 186 (August 14, 1894). 117 Materials for the biography of Dja Endar Moeda were mostly obtained from the Bintang Hindia, No. 15 (July 25, 1903). În 1903 Dja Endar Moeda's age was given as "about forty-two years old." 118 See Chapter IV, pp. 69-70 above. In 1898 the Pertja Barat was published by the Sumatra Courant and one year later 1. N. A. H. Chatelin Sr. took over its publication. In 1900, however, it was published and printed by the Snelpersdrukkerij Insulinde which also published the journal Insulinde. 119 Selompret Melajoe, No. 14 (February 3, 1898). 120 This was the first native paper ever published in Aceh. It was published in the Malay lan- guage with Dja Endar Moeda as editor. While serving the Pemberita Atjeh he traveled up and down between Kuta Raja and Padang.
