METHODS or GREAT EDITOR.
char,es a Dana Had His Own Way
Of lmpressing Members OF
His Staff.

Charles A. Dana, for many years
the editor of the New York Sun, be-
lieved that the work Of reporting
should be worthy the best there is IN
a man. A contributor to the American
Magazine gives several anecdotes on
Mr.. Dana's dealings with his reporters,
many of whom learned from him les
sons by which they profted and rose
in their profession. On one occa-
sion a reporter complained because
he was kept on police court work
Young man." said Dana, 1.-The great
est police court reporter who ever
lived was named Charles Dickens"
Another complained that they had
"boiled down" his story.
1.-The story of the crucifixion was
told in 600 words" said Dana.
He used to come out, continues the
contributor, all excitement, and point
ing to a mark on the margin or a
clipping, say to the managing editor:
"a great sentence there, Mr.. Lord.
Who wrote it,"
"Who did that football story?" he
asked once.
When Dana put such question, his
interlocutor used to tremble; there
was no telling from his tone whether
he meant to praise or to blame.
Mr.. Lord named the man.
ITS Homer, that's what it is," said
Dana.
1.-THE reporter" he said again,
"wields the real power Of the press"
This, with all that 1t implies, was
the thing which Dana left to his
world.
