school Of newspaper individuals
whose characters dominated their pa

ier-Journal was not so much an in

away from the personal and make Of

is what at present the greatest are.
Reams will be written about Hen

man, as well as an interesting and
unusual one. He possessed pen
mighrier than any sword-and more
cutting. He welded it with an ex-
pertness and virility attained by few
men. and when he reIinquished, be-
cause Of gid age, MS place Of the
