The GRAPHIC like all other news
papers is not free from typographical
errors and plumbers due to careless
proof reading. In reporting the cere-
monies of the laying Of the corner

the GRAPHIC inadvertently spelled
the inscription OF the stone Dec "a

take of one letter and an error sc triv-
ial that no newspaper other than
one of %asinine malformations would
comment upon it. To this feature
of courteous journalism the Iadcr
must attribute it's own Immunity
from nolestation. In common with
other callow youths who essay jour
nalism, he who poses as editor OF the

those in a contemporary. As an IN
