Il was ever thus, and the end is not yet The
printing press has made presidents, killed poets,
furnished bnsties for beauties and POLISHED genius
with critisism. II has made worlds get up at roll
call every morning, given the pulpit lungs of iron
and voice of steam. 1t has set price on bnsh-
el of wheat and made the country postafice the
gmmering goal Of the rural scribe. 1t has curtail-
ed the power OF kings, embeilished the pantry
shelves and bursted rings; it has converted bank
ers into paupers and make sawyees Of college pres
iderts; il has educated the homeless and robbed
the philosopher OF his reason. 1t smiles and kicks,
cries ard dies, but can be rnn to suit everybody
and the editor is a fool who tries 1t.
