In the New YOI‘K Evening World -.‘ Don Belt: quotes Governor Temple- ‘ ton’s virtual defiance of Chairman J. Henry Rot-aback. and uitcrs this -‘ bloody thirsty suggestion. “We confidently expect that Mr; Roraback will soon have the rebel- lious governor shot at sunrise by a firing squad composed of Charles .. Hopkins Clark. of the Hartford Cou- rant and Col.. N. G. Osborn of The New Haven Journal-Courier. provid« ing either of them can wake up early enough to do their duty." .Even if Don's "confident expecta- tion" Were shared or approved by l'Mr. Roraback's opponents. his nom- ination of executioners would be . voted down.

Statute and Treaty The American Government gets what it asked for in the approval by the British Imperial Conference of Secretary Hughes‘ proposal of a 12 mile limit within which British ships may be searched for liquor and the terms of the agreement are now be- ing digested into a treaty! .2 But of course this Government Had to give the British something in return for this concession. and it gave British ships the right to bring liquors into American ports. under bond. for consumption on the return voyese. The exchange may be fair enough on the face of it. but the nature of the American concession would seem to raise a constitutional question. for - in making it. the State Department has apparently granted a right the Supreme Court has said cannot be granted. In sustaining. in part. a decision made by Federal Judge Hand in New York the Supreme Court ruled last spring that neither American nor foreign ships could. within the meaning of prohibition legislation now in force. legally bring liquors into American waters. even under seal. for the purpose de- scribed. says the Kansas City Star. A nice point in constitutional law seems. therefore. to be raised by the action of the treaty making power. Can the United States Government. by treaty. make constitutional an act the Supreme Court says is unconsti- tutional? "This Constitution, and the laws of shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made. or which shall be made. under the authority of the United States shall be the supreme law of the land." So says the Constitution. If it is a law of the United States that foreign ships cannot bring liquor into Amen; can ports for any purpose, and if the Supreme Court has said that law is in pursuance of the Constitution. then that law is the supreme law of the land. But so is a treaty. after being ratified by the Senate; the su- preme law of the land. Bui it the law and the treaty are in conflict both cannot be supreme. and one must give way to the other. Prohibition has raised many knotty problems. so perhaps one more will not prove one too many for it. The Secretary of State. who is making the liquor treaty. is him- self a distinguished constitutional lawyer. llc may see the way out. Anyway, we are glad the conflict. if any. is between two laws of the United States. It might be a prob. lem. indeed, if one of those laws had been laid down by the American Supreme Court and the other by the permanent court of international Justice. A Public Charge. . (Exchange) 'Dining with his bride at s. Conti- nental hotel. a young Englishman was angered to find on his bill a charge of ten francs for fruit. Call- ing the manager he protested the item.

The Englishman said no more. but on paying the bill he counted out all but ten francs. and seeing the look of inquiry on the manager's face. he remarked calmly. "that is for kiss- ing my wife." “Kissing your wife!" exclaimed the other aghast. "But I have not kissed your wife." “No." said the Englishman. "but she was there, wasn't she? It is not my fault if you did not want to kiss her." wens Hotcl use. (Houston Post.)

Printing has made it possible to record and preserve history. 3.15s the Kansas City Times as it iltroduces the following article. Without. it civilisation could not have advanc- ed. nor could Christianity have spread to the far corners of the earth in so short a s’pace of time. Were all the printing presses in the world to stop running today and all type and machinery to be destroyed. our progress would be checked im- mediately. says the Washington Star. “'e would scarcely know what was going on in the world and knowledge would be dear indeed. Modern typography virtually be- gan with the use of movable types by John Guenberg. at Mainzc. 1450. 1455. Gutenberg’s right to the honor of discoverer of printing has been disputed. but we do know that. the art of printing from »typcs came into being about 1450. and his invention of movable typos cer- tainly entitles Gutenberg to u hon- ored place. Perhaps the greatest pr'nter of the sixteenth century was one Chris- topher Plantln. who was born in 1614. He was taught printing and bookbindlng in Cane and Paris and soon became a master of the art. Owing to conditions existing in France at the time. when punters were being continually charged with heresy. Plantin left Paris in 1548 and made his home in Antwerp. It was in this city that the master printer Plantin rose to fame. l’rint- ing was in restraint everywhere and the city of Antwerp finally belame the chosen battlefield of the contes~ tants in the conflict between the press. the state and the church. Plantln had to flee for his life on two occasions. and his plant was twice destroyed. The fruits of years of labor were lost. but Plantln loved his art. Even in the ruins of a sacked city he kept at his work. struggling with heavy debt. until his death in 1589. English printers were active in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. One of the finest masters of his day was Richard Pynson. It is sup- posed that Pynson. in his youth. was an employee of the famous Caxton. Henry R. Plomer in his hitory of English printing say of him: "Wherever he came from. Richard Pynon was the tiniest master this country had yet seen. and no one. until the appearance of John Day. approached him in excellence of work." We next witness printing in the new world. AJust nineteen years after the Pilgrims moored their bark at Plymouth the the birth of first printing press was established. in umbridge. This beginning of printing here we owe to an English clergyman. Rev. Jone Glover. At- tracted by the opportunities which he believed offered themselves in America. and becoming interested in the religious freedom of the col- umn. he came over from England with his family in 1688. He was a man of wealth and excellent educa- tion and planned to engage in the iron industry in the colonies and to (control a printing press: He brought with him as assistants in the project the Day family. Stephen .tho father. and his two sons.. Stephen. 112. and Matthew. . Glover died at sea. and as an ins. direct result of that mt the man: agement of the press fell to Stephen Day. It is an error of history that Stephen Day was the first. Wilt _ Cambridge. It shoelace? War. hm W. 1" Jr‘- mew. W e . printer is any sense of the word. His son Matthew. who actually operat— ed the press. made very good pro- gress in the trade. and to himrond not to his father. belongs thee, honor of being the first printer in the colonies. Specimens of Matthew Day's work are extant. and it is evi- dent from their appearance that with practice in his trade he made great strides in skill and craftsmanship. Much of Matthew's work was per— formed for Harvard college. He was only 29 years old when he died. Samuel Green was selected to take the place. and. while he had no knowledge of the art, was quick to learn. He took over his duties in 1649. The first printing house in Boston was that of Marmaduke Johnson. who established himself in July. 1674 in a house on the street now called Hanover. Johnson died in the same year. He first came to the colonies in 1660 to assist Samuel Green in the printing of the Rev. John Eliot's “Indian Bible." \Villlam Green. a business rival. continued printing in Cambridge un- til about 1692. when he apparently retired from business. After his rc- tirement there was an interval in which no printing was done. However printing was subsequently resumed by the college and continued until 1500, when Vi'illlam Hilliard settled in Cambridge. with a new press and type, on what is now Hilliard street. and set up the University Press. The first printing that can be proved to have been done elsewhere in the colonies was by ' “'illiam Bradford. in Philadelphia. in 1685. Little can be said in favor of Brad- ford as a printer, but it is interest- ing' to note that his son. Andrew was the proprietor of one of the two printing offices in Philadelphia when Benjamin Franklin arrived there in 1723 from Boston a young appren— tice and a runaway. 'Franklin soon went to work for a man named Kei- mer. a rival of Bradford. Young Benjamin found both printers poor- ly qualified for their business. He applied himself. however. to his trade and worked diligently in the shop of Keimer. It was not long be- fore Franklln came into the notice of the governor of thepprovince. Franklin in England. Governor Keith’s promises to set Franklin up were never kept. but they led to Franklin's trip to Eng- land in 1724. or when he still was under 19 years old. The géfVernor’s irresponsibility was an ill wind which certainly blew Franklin con- siderable good. in the experience which he gained from the necessity of working at his trade abroad. He worked for two famous printing houses of the day. in the second of which he earned his sobriquet of the “Water-American." ‘ Young Ben re- fused to partake of beer and. to the“ astonishment of the workmen. was able to perform considerable more work than could any of his fellows. He was employed in both the com- posing and press rooms. After Franklin returned to Amati-- mer. who made him manager of the. men and an apprentice. but they were “not. cheap hands." and it was up to Franklin to inform them. It was in this capacity that Frank- lin began to use'his inventive gen- ius which gives him ' allied industries.

About. 1729 Franklin came into sole'possession of the business. which was due partly to financial difficul- . ties of the Meredith; but principally to his own initiative and industry. Thus at approximately. 23 years old, he was set up in his own name. He already had established a reputation with a paper which “made a quite different appearance from any before in the province: a better tyve. and better printed."~ The paper grew as "one of the first good effects of my having learned to scribble." It is notable that Franklin obtained much grows on one. profitable business by being able to write a thing which is Just as essen- tial in the printing world today. where the printers are making copy for their customers. Franklin had become easy in ciro cumstauces at 3'! years old. Every— one knows the success achieved by him in his later years as a scientist. inventor. philosopher. philanthropic, ist. founder of hospitals and libraro lea. diplomat and patriot. It was as a printer that he began life. and as a printer that he later gave much of that which was in him to the world. He knew the value of the printed word in all phases of life: its last- ing quality above that of the spoken word. Hence it was that he was ever proud to designate himself as "B. Franklin. printer." The printing industry has grown with the country. While advances have been made in the art of print- ing. we must not overlook the fact that similar advances have been made in allied lines of the industry. Improvement has come in paper- maklng. photo-ingraving. type-found- ing. and in the manufacture of printing inks. Manufacturers of printing presses have made machin~ 1 ory capable of a production which. if they could be seen by printers of a century ago. would amass them. ———.__.__..___ Hash, Mei Billed—“Why. hasn't daddy much _ hair?"
