GEO. D. PERKINS

The Sioux City Journal which cir.
c~ulates largely in Madison and South
Dakota generally, last evening brought
to this city the announcement of the
death of its editor, Cleo. ID. Perkins.
Deceased had been i'll since tbs first
days Of January, and the progress OF
his disease had been watched by
thousands of people in the northwest
who felt a personal interest in the
great editor. and TO whom
ment of his death brought sadness.
Geo. d. Perkins was one of the few
great editors this great country has
produced, aud his name will be re-
corded in history alongside of Horace
Greeley, Chas. A. Dana and the few
that impressed their personality net
only upon the community in which
they labored but upon the world.
Geo. d. Perkins was the dominant
spirit in his great establishm emit
Thoroughly practical in the minutes,
details of his business, he governed
it in every detail from the smallest
to the most important business re.
%quirement. The result has been that
from a small beginning with a capital
of a few hundred dollars forty five
years ago. he leaves one of the
wealthiest newspaper properties in the
west.
The editor of The Daily Leader feels
a personal loss in the death of Geo. ID.
Perkins. For a period of seven years
we laboIed as one of his employees,
most of the time as editor of the As
sociated Press report. occupying a
room adjoining his private editorial
room, and closely associated with him
in supplying copy to the large force OF
typesetters employed in the composing
room. Then were the years of young
manhood. He in his early thirties, we
in our early twenties. But even then
Geo. d. Perkins was the biggest man
we ever knew. We could write col
umns in detail of his greatness as an
editor who possessed the talent to i'm.
press his personality upon the readers
Of his great newspaper. He was a
~tireless worker, apparently never be.
coming fatigued from the long hours
which he devoted each day and night
to his work. His abilities were lecog,
nized outside his Office and the people
of Iowa called him to high official DO
siticn many times-and his name will
live forever in that great state and be
yond.
