The printing press has made presidents, killed poets, made bustles for beauties and punished genius with criticism. It has curtailed the power of kings, converted bankers into paupers, and graced pantry shelves. It has made paupers college presidents; it has educated the poor and robbed the philosopher of his reason; it smilc-s, cries, dies, but it can't be run to suit everybody, and the man will be crazy who tries. ?
