"a telegram OF congratuiation and a

people who are opposed to saloons,

sordidness Of that organization and
the well-grounded suspicion of its wet

attract support to any propaganda 1t

The Word "Despatch.n

1t was DR.. Johnson who was largely
responsible for the bad spelling Of the
word despatch" Although the mis-
take never occurred in his letters and
for 225 years the word had been writ
ten correctly, it appeared in his die
honary as despatch" Until 1920,
however, the wrong spelling did not
become general. Then people began
to look upon Johnson's work as q
standard one, and British government
departments and various newspapers
changed the proper dispatch" to "deS-
patch"
