When our correspondents disre-
gard our request to prepare their
)ntributions with pen and ink, and
use the lead pencil, there is one of
two things for the editor to do
either commit the article to the
waste basket or else rewrite it. This
throws lot of extra work upon him,
and often times he can not spare the
time. Were we to put into the
hands of the printer some articles
lead penciled written that come to
this Office, the writer when he saw it
would be aStounded, for the man who
sets the copy into type has enough
to do to accomplish that without run
ming a guessing word contest, and
that's exactly what he would have to
do. Just like you do sometimes,
when in the cheap trashy papers you
attempt to supply missing word in
some rebus. Maybe you hit upon
the right word and maybe you can t
always tell what was in the mind of
him who constructed the sentence.
