 The only man ia town mean enough to try to make a typograph- ical error appear as an act of ignor- ance is the editor of the Press Eagle. It is a very easy thing for a printer to put in a instead of an :, or any other letter in the alphabet Errors of tbis kind will be found oc- caslonally in any newspaper on earth-they are even sometime S found in the columns of the Press Eagle, but none of it's local contem- poraries have eyer been contempt ible enough to strive to make any of them ap- pear as an act of ignorance. When a journalist is reduced to the neces sity of crlticising little typograph- ical errors, be is certainly reduced 10 sore straits for something to write about.
