The rule generally Is for invaiilors
to over estimate the real vulu of
their production, but the recent deuh
of Robert Hoe, the ma of the inventor
of the ry Inkier printing press, never
realized what he did for humanity, bis
ideas of prlntln gpresses were more

should decide when a change should
be made. It would have been difficult,
possibly, to have made these same of
fice holders think this way Just prior
Co their appointment. This is an age
ct evolution however.
