are printers and the emperor of China
works in a private printing office almost
every day. William Caxton, the father
of English literature. was a practical
printer. What were G. P. Morris. N. P.
Willis, James Gale, Charles Richardson,
James Parker. Horace Greeley, Charles
Dickens. James Buchanan, Simon Cam
eron and Schuyler Colfax? Printers, all,
and practical ones
Mark Twain. Amos Cummings, Bret
Harte and Opie Reid are plain, practical
printers, as were ArtemuS Ward, Petro-
leum V. Nasty ard SUIT Lovingood Sen
ator Plumb was a printer, and so is
James S. Hogg Of Texas, and the leader
OF science and philosophy in his day
made it his boast that he was a printer.
In fact. thousands of the most brilliant
minds in this country are to be found
toiling in the polishing houses of large
cities and towns. 1t is not every one
that can be printer-brains are absO-
lutelv necessary"
By the above you will see that at least
one printer has occupied the presiden-
tial chair. while another the vice-presi-
dents seat, and at the present time one
is the governor of one of the greatest
states in the Union
L would like to inquire what is to be
done about the election of officers for the
club, as 1 am informed that Just two
members showed up at the time set for
NAAC AN-0AllOAl at hlClliSdIl lily anu
nothing was done. AS the ticket that
was prepared and sent out was not in
accord with the constitution and can
not be counted / would suggest that
preferences be asked for Immediately
and tickets prepared and sent out and a
meeting called to meet in Indianapolis
TO transact the business Of the club at
an early date. AS to my preferences for
a ticket l will give il here, and others
can do as they like: President, Comet"
vlce,President; 'Rixey;'' second vice
rotary, Dora Dickens" corresponding
secretary, Elk treasurer ''Wyandot
Dewdrop." The members will see that
by such a ticket the officers are divided
among the following states in the order
named: Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ore
gOn, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, which
will be better than giving them all to
one state. One thing is certain some
thing must be done else our club will
go down. AS it is we virtually have no
officers at present. Let the executive
committee act and act now.
