Under the able Editorial
management of Col. K. B.
Creccy the Economist has en-
tered upon its thirtieth year of
existence.
We congratulate onr venera~
BE friend, who has grown old
most gracefully in his work and
labt r Of love, in esta bllshing so
worthy an enterprise among our
people.
We wish that Father Creecy
had, years ago, been given the
support we are sure he has been
worthy of.
We venture the assertion that
almost single handed and alone
he has had to battle for that re
cognition and life which ought
to have been spontaneously ac~
corded him.
Through all these years he
championed the cause of democ-
racy; Upheld the Right and de-
nounced the Wrong. And this
entire Eastern section ought to
have given financial aid and
backing which would have made
the last years of the "grand old
man" free from care and toll.
But as the days come and go
he climbs the stairs upon his
cruchcs and with trenchant pen
meets the issues Of the day a
very hero in the strife. God
bless Father C1eecy, and as the
Sur sinks lower and lower be-
hird the Western horizon may
he realize that the day has. been
well spent, and that the hour
for rest and retreshn IS
blessed.
