“A printing office,” says a writer,
“is usually considered a rather tough
place and the newspaper worker a
mighty bad man. Statistics, how
ever, do not bear out that idea. Of the
3,980 prisoners in the state penitenti
ary of Texas, there is not a printer or
newspaper man among them, while
there are ministers, lawyers, cooks,
photographers, music teachers, doc
tors, bankers, barkeepers, barbers
and members of other professions and
callings. The priuter man gets a bad
name because the nature of his busi
ness teaches him to detest shams,
scorn hypocrites and expose rascal
Sity.”
