PRINTERS CRIMES
Now that there are five members of the clergy in
Seward this might be a good time to get this off our chest:
Printers have much to answer for. An Episcopalian
clergyman announced there would be a collection for the
arch fund. The composition made it “arch fiend’’.
A Catholic wrote: “The pope is not in politics.” The
printer said: “The pope is hot in politics.”
An editor eulogized a certain worthy lady who had
recently died: “She was noted for her charity,” he wrote.
The printer had it: “She was noted for her chastity.” The
editor, reading proof, scrawled a query mark over the last
word. This is what appeared in the paper: “She was
noted for her chastity (?).”
Then there is the famous double-barreled bull made
by the typesetter who transposed a “battle-scarred veter
an” in a “battle-scared veteran,” and when called on by the
irate colonel next day to correct it made matters 10 times
worse by referring to the victim as a “bottle-scarred vet
eran.*
G. K. Chesterton recently revealed a proof-room
secret. In the course of an article he had written: “It is
necessary here for me to explain something of my cosmic
philosophy.” The composition made it “my comic philos
ophy.”
The Gateway bull, of about two years ago, however,
we think will remain a classic for many a' moon. Remem
ber it? “Married over the week-end”.
Gosh, that was a hot one!
FREE BOARD AND LODGING
Now Congress is to be asked to kick thru with an ap
propriation to: build another great prison in which to pro
vide free board and lodging to breakers of the Volsteac
law. We fear one will be insufficient and therefore sug
gest Congress be asked for enough to build 13 new ones
Next year 20 more, and so on. In a few more years build
ing of homes wil[ then probably come to an end and th<
population be .housed comfortably in prisons. The mur
derers and real honest-to-goodness crooks may then r€
verse their status with society.
By all means give us more and better prisons.
If Carry Nation could have forseen the results of he]
campaign against saloons she would have thrown awaj
her axe.

A goodly number of friends gath
ered in the Sacred Heart Church
yesterday morning to witness the
Golden Jubilee of Mr. and Mrs.

Clara Manthey—now Mrs. Elmer Mc
Namee—the grand-daughter, accom
panying Mrs. McConnell as brides
maid and Robert McConnell, the
grand-son, accompanied Mr. McCon
nell; and all the while the beautiful
strains of the “Wedding March” were
softly played.
Arriving before the alter Mr. and
Mr«. McConnell renewed again their
marriage vows pronounced 50 years
ago on Christmas day. Then the gol
den wreath was given by Father
Markham to Mr. McConnell who
placed it on the head of his devoted
wife and mother.
The bride and groom then entered
th° Sanctuary where kneeling bench

lovely hymns.
In the splendid sermon, Father

i McConnell and spoke on the wonder
ful b1 ossing granted them, a b'essing
net given to many of celebrating
their Colden Wedding, in these heo
t‘<- days of quick marriage and quick
en ’h solution cf the nm-'irr bonds.
He said this celebration, on the Sun
cpiy when the Church celebrated the
Feast of the Holy Family of Maza
retl.. should naturally direct ones
attention to the home wherein there
dwelt the Holy Family, giving as
r an example on which should be mod
eled every Christian hame where
* peace prayer, patience and charity
reigned supreme. Father Markham
dwelt upon the home and of how
much the prosperity and endurance
of “our beloved Amerca depended
upon the home.”
It was one of the most impressive
ceremonies the attendance had ever
been privileged to have witnessed
and as such, together with the won
derful sermon of Father Markham,
will ever be retained in their mem
ories. Mr. and Mrs McConnell were
the recepients of congratulations
throughout the day from their many
friends.
