LAUCHABLE AND HUMOROUS
 ERRORS WHICH ARE LAID
 AT DOOR OF THE PRINTER

Recently, one of the "Letters from the People" which appear daily in New York, newspaper contained ti- rade against the composing and proof rooms of printing offices and compost tors and prooferaders in general. The writer complained of typographical error which occurred in previous contribution of his to the same col umn. His letter stated:
 'The gods are powerless in the hands of the printer. Some thirty years ago l wrote for a paper in Louisville, Ky, a chapter on one of John Symond's' great works and was reckless enough to try to draw dis tinction between the stage and the pulpit, 1 wrote the. word charity as plainly as I could; 'the printer set it up chastity, and so it appeared in the paper. For a wonder escaped lynching that day."
 The writer of that letter undoubt- edly has reason to kick against the compositor. But does he and the ma jority of writers and readers realize that the individuals occasional blun- ders are overbalanced by his good deeds-realize what the compositor can do and does do with "copy" every day? An extract from an article on the trials and tribulations of the poor, long-suffering "comp", which appear ed about twenty-five years ago in the San Francisco Chronicle, is we'll worth quoting in this connection.
 "He (the compositor) takes man. uscript, the chirography of which would make the lid of Chinese tea chest blush with envy, translates it into the vernacular as he goes along, corrects the spelling and the gram mar, and oftentimes the rhetoric, and turns it out, not as the author wrote it, but as he intended to write it. He sets up better English than most men can write; he can detect errors of fact as we'll as of style; he can give the horse editor points on sporting matter and the religious editor on theology; he can appreciate even the meTlCS OI QlScuSSlOn on the CdrlII, and detect the fallacies in a profound leader on economies; and he can do more hard and intelligent work in a given time, if he has to, than any oth- CT sort of handicraftsman."
 True, every word of it. And it ap- plies today to the machine compost tor as it did a quarter of a century ago to the hand typesetter. Still, we must admit that printers have been guilty of many of the ludicrous errors which have crept into printed matter. All the disciplines of Gutenberg are not Shakespearean scholars-certain- ly not the one who set up the line in theater poster, Much Adv About Nothing" And they are not all ac quainted with "Childe Harold," for one comp" one time made the oft-quoted line from Byron's poem read: "On with the dance! let joy be uncoffin- ed!"
 Amusing Errors.

vile Courier-J ournal, once said:

"While I have heard of great many typographical breaks in my time, about the oldest and most hum- orous transposition of types that ever came to my observation was that in a New York paper some years ago. The paper used to print it's shipping news on the same page with its obit- uaries. Imagine the glee with which the readers found the caption changed one morning, long list of respectable names being set forth under the ma rine head, Passed Through He'll Gate Yesterday!"
 "Mr. Blank, who was operated on for appendicitis" read an item in a Western paper,'"is rapidly recovering. His many friends hope to see him cut again soon." .
 Another Western paper intended to state that the windows on a certain street in the town needed washing, and the "n" was omitted in ".win- dows."

 AFTER-WAR PERIOD?
Will Nation Experience Same Delay That Has Marked
 War Preparation7

Workmen in the United States arc now fully employed at higher wages than labor has ever known. Many of them have become accustomed to q scale of living better than they have ever known. In the last two years nearly one million women have taken jobs either formerly held by men or newly created jobs which under Ordi- nary circumstances would be filled by men.
 Three million ablebOdied men are now either actually in service or being called to training camps. Over five million labOrerS are actually engaged in factories and plants directly and wholly occupied in making war mate- rial. Another five million are engaged In quasi-war work.
 What will happen to these millions when peace is declared? What will become of the "war jobs?" What will happen to the high level of wages3 The moment peace is declared the United States Government and other Governments will cancel their im- mense outstanding orders and con- traSts for war material. Automatic ally this will throw millions out of employment unless provision is made ahead of time to find work for them during the period of reconstruction.
 This advance preparation cannot be made in day, week or a month. It Is more gigantic task to prepare for this than it was to prepare for war. We have been engaged In war now over eighteen months, and we still are dependent upon England and France for munitions, guns, clothing, ships and much other war material. If the present administration of affairs could not put the nation on a war basis in eighteen months how long would 1t take the same leaders to put the na- tion on peace basis?
 These questions only indicate the very serious problems which labor must confront immediately upon the declaration of peace. Republican con- gressmen contend that 1t is necessary that this government should immedi- ately take steps to safeguard labor during that period after the war when industry is readjusting itself. They contend that labor should be protected from the flood of cheap products abroad and from enforced idleness at home. Republican leaders are back of the Weeks Reconstruction Bill, which would create bipartisan committee to begin immediately the framing of poli- cies to meet these emergencies.

MAKES LONG TRIP SOUTH

Fred F. BraWn has just returned from a trip by automobile to Louis- jana and other southern states and re- ports having had a big time. In Lou isiana he had to ship his machine by boat to get from place to place and in other places he had hard work driv- ing through the mud. But neverthe- less he enjoyed the trip.

The French people say they hold Re publican leaders in America next to American generals in their esteem, be- cause Republican leaders have always STOOD BY THE WAR.
