NOTED EDITOR
 For 40 years Charles R. Miller was editor in-chief of the New York Times That is per haps the highest and most distinguished ed torial position that can be won by an Amer ean journalist.
 The New York Times shares with its Eng fish contemporary, the London Times, an inter. national influence. With multiplicity of great newspapers in America, the New York Times is not the spokesman of this nation, as the famous "Thunderer" is for the British people, because conditions in the two coun- tries, journalistic and otherwise, are differ ent, but it is unquestionably one of the most powerful journals in America.
 Most of the editorial prestige of the Times is due to MT. Miller, whose death occurred Tuesday He combined with the ability to write well scholarship and fund of informa- tion on many subjects which gave authorita- tive value to his editorials.
 When Adolph H. Ochs celebrated his twenty fifth anniversary as publisher of the Times, he wrote of his editor, Charles R. Miller, from the beginning, has been an inspiration His scholarly attainments, his facility and u- cdty of expression, broad vision, extraordi- nary knowledge of public affairs, having a statesmans conception of their proper con duct, and his lofty patriotism have made the editorial page of the New York Times con suited and respected throughout the world, and distinguished it the foremost exponent of enlightened American public opinion" This is a fine tribute, but was deserved by the man who spent most O his life in loyal and brilliant service to the Times.
