The passing Of Jacob J. Rosen-
field, familiarly known as Jake"
Rosenfeld, to greener fields and
newer pastures, is an event Of con-
siderable local importance and the
TINES is somewhat surprised that no
more meation has been made of his
exit in the daily press, to which he
belonged and of which it must be
conceded he was the bright, particu-
lar star in these Plantations. Mr..
Rosenield is of comparatively obscure
origin and he certainly owess.th prom
luence to which he has arisen to
his own wit, energy and nerve. We
first remember him some seventeen OF
eighteen years ago, just at The begin
ming of his newspaper career. lie
was then employed on the "Dis-
PATCH" daily OF small circulation,
but some influence, managed by the
well known Charles Corbett. Mr..
Rosenfeld early demonstrated his
ability as reporter and his work
was marked by skill and dash that
showed him to be a young man of
more than ordinary brains. In the
course of time his talents became
recognized by that great and good
newspaper, the Providence Journal,
and he was given an opportunity to
show what he could do in broader
field of journalistic enterprise. 1t 10
needless to say that he "made good
in his new berth and on the retire
ment of Martin G. Day he became
city editor of the paper, which
position he has held up to his recent
resignation. Early in his news
paper career he evinccd a lesniag
towards politics and to say that he
became an "artist" in that line is not
overstating the matter in the leas:.
AS the political writer Of the Journal
he covered the field of Providence
municipal affairs in way they were
never handled before and perhaps
never will be again. His influence
among the members of the City
Csuaeils became marked and his
impress on municipal matters and
things has been stronger than any
other outside OF perhaps inside in
ffuence. /; is said that the average
councilman in considering matters
OF public concern has been wont to
wait with bated breath before form
ing an opinion to see "what Jake
said" Now these poor, weak,
apologies Of municipal craftsmanship,
III any are. lett IN the council, will
have to do little thinking for them
selves, if such a thing is possible.
Or course there have always been
\ members who did not bow the knee
/ 10 this Baal OF civic affairs, this snuff
taker for council sneezing, but it
must be confessed with regret that
/ ,uch representatives Of the people
nave not always been in the majority.
\ The secret Of Rosenfeld's power in
+ public matters seems to have been
n a great measure the fear enter
aimed by our city fathers that he
night write them out OF office.
What a calamity to the city if a
bunch Of such office holders had net
zen returned to the city hall. In
