EDWARD WARE BARRETT

From the Birmingham Post.
 The death of Edward Ware Barrett, editor and principal owner of The Age-Herald, was so sudden and tragic that expression regard ing it is difficult at this time.
 To the members of the family and his ,fel- low workers on the paper which he so long directed the Post extends sincerest condo lence.
 Mr. Barrett had played a very large part in the development and history of Birmingham. His name has been so long identified with the paper which he built up, and for which he made wide reputation in southern journal ism that it is difficult to conceive of nm not being connected with it,
 Probably he died as he would have wished active to the end-for he had lived a life full of action and performance. Starting as a young newspaperman, he worked through the successive steps of the newspaper game. spent nearly 10 years as Washington core spondent and then purchased the control of The Age-Herald, paper struggling on the verge of death. He labored long and hard and success rewarded him. The struggling paper became firmly established and widely known.
 To the last, The Age-Herald was his pride and delight Although surrounded by men who had worked for him for many years, and for whom he had the greatest confidence and friendship, he nevertheless continued cease lessly active in directing the affairs of the paper because he looked on it as his life work K During recent years he made notable con tributions toward the development of the newspaper business through experiments in the manufacture of paper from southern pine. Recently he succeeded in proving the sound- ness of his theories, through the actual manu- facture of newsprint from Alabama pine pulp, and it was his dream to see great pa per mill established near Birmingham, to add to the population and prosperity of this sec tion. Fulfillment of this dream is denied by death, but the work he began will probably De carried on and through his pioneering, the Post believes that this dream will yet become a reality.
 In recent years there has been a tendency away from the old plan of personal journal ism, when particular newspapers were closely identified with particular men. Another of these widely known editors--who made a kcef, individual impression on the papers they directed-goea to his reward through the passing of Mir. Barrott. Mir, Barrett in a sense bridged tho era between the old personal journaiista and the new journalism. He was known both to the old and the new.z He was associated with and tho friend of men whose names are written large in the scroll of news paper history, He outllved most of them and now. 80 soon after their passing he Is gone.
 The Post desires to express sncerest sorrow at his sudden death, A good newspaperman and eitiaen has gone, To those who worked with him and knew him, there is the consola-

"A step has been made during the past few days to organize Junior Press club among the younger reporters and ambitious writers of Birmingham" said S. Vincent Townsend.
 "The club is to be composed of youthful writers under the age of 24 years, although complete details have not yet been worked out. Prospective members have been invited to attend the second meeting already which is to be held during the present week."

DEATH OF EDWARD w. BARRETT

From the Birmingham News.
 Edward Ware Barrett, for quarter of century a notable figure in the life of Bir- mingham and Alabama, is dead. The editor has laid down his pen, the publisher has closed his account books. His family, his friends his employees, all are grief-stricken. His em- ployes particularly will mourn his -untimely death, because to them he was far more than an employer he was a friend and had often with many of them stood in loco parentis.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald was ever an expression of the strong personality of it's editor. Without hin the paper will never seem the same. As editor he was positive in his opinions, courageous in expression of them and forceful always. As publisher he had wrought success out of previous failure, and, through his newspaper, had done more than his share in the development of Birmfng- ham.
 Mir. Barrett was a notable newspaper fig ure, out of the ordinary run of newspaper men. He had started his career as a reporter and had been one of the remarkable reporters
 
 to recount some of the big stories he had covered, some of the beats he had achieved As "a Washington correspondent, he was . nationally known figure. Writing men, re porters seldom achieve financial success, or dream of becoming newspaper owners. But it was not so with MT. Barrett. H0 came from the position of Washington currespon- dent of the Atlanta Constitution to own his
 .- k~ -y-- { l.,~ His career, showing the possibilities m ths reportorial and editorial end of the news- paper business, should lend encouragement to workers in those branches His death, com ing so soon after the passing of two other na- tionaliy known southern newspaper editors, Henry Watterson and Richard H. Yaneey, seems peculiarly untimely.
 The city of Birmingham will miss MT. Bar rett. Too few there are in important position who sincerely, devotedly, unsefishly love their city. MT. Barrett was a member of that rare group His energies were always devoted to what he conceived as the best in- terest of Birmingham. The city can i'll af- ford to lose men of that type.
 Tn the conclaves of publishers of newspa- pers in the south and in the nation he will be missed too. His winning personality had won for him many friends among his fellows in the newspaper world. There will be much sorrow on this day in Asheville, N. C., as the Southern Newspapers Publishers associa- ton assemblies in annual session.
 In the politics of city, state and nation n's loss will De felt. He was member of the national democratic committee and of its executive committee, and he had been prominent figure at every democratic na- tional convention over long period of years.
 To his grief-stricken family, to the wtue circle of his friends and to his employees wno mourn the loss of the head of their organi- nation and real friend, the Birmingham News extends it's sincere sympathy. To all of Alabanis, tho News comments his life as an example of devotion to faithful performs ance of auty.

 FOREHANDED MEASURES BEST DISORDER PREVENTIVES

The sooner authority takes hold of an ab- normal situation in a community the greater the chance that actual disorder will fail to develop. The police and detective forces, which municipalities keep regularly employed, are not intended to harass peaceful citizens, but to see that peace is preserved. Primarily their mission is not to run down criminals, but to prevent and forestall crime.
 The outbreak at Herrin, H., is directly traceable to weak officials, who failed to take a threatening situation in hand. When num- bers of men in community are idle mischief is bound to brew. How far it will extend de- bends on precautions taken for it's preven- tion likeness is the devils workshop, no matter what the character of the idle men and the loftiness of their motives
 It is no reflection on a law-abiding com munity to have it protected from the possi- bilities of unusual conditions brought on by dleness. The presence of law and order forces is vindicaton of the watchfulness of a community over it's peace and it's dignity. Men with grievance and without employ nient are not normal Neither are their friends and sympathizers Often it is the lat ter who are first to disobey the law and bring reputable crafts into disrepute
 It is better to have law and order forces on the ground too soon than too late. At Herrin they were too late.
