GREATEST EDITOR,
|D|ES IN new YORK
Famous Editor of New York
World Succumbs to Long
Illness Strong Writer.

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-Frank T..
Cobb. for the last twenty years edi-
tor of the New York World, died at
his home in this city after a long
illness, aged 81 years He was re-
garded as one of the greatest edi-
tors in American history He was
termed by Henry Watterson as the
strongest editorial writer since Hor-
ace Greeley.
Frank Irving Cobb was born on
a farm in Shawnee County. Kansas.
August 6, 1869. He became intense
ly interested in politics as a boy, and
entered journalism before he had
completed his schooling Was for
time employed on the staff of the
indianapolis Sentinel, and from there
he went to Detroit papers He was
an editorial writer on the Detroit
Evening News from 1896 to 1900
and editor af the Detroit Free Press
from 1900 to 1904.
Mr.. Cobb was personally selected
in 1904 by Joseph Pulitzer to be his
successor as editor of the New York
World, and the manner of his sell
ection is the highest sort of a tes-
timonial to Mr. Cobb's ability as an
editorial writer In 1904 Mr.. Pulitzer,
who had built the New York World
up from THE tottering political organ
that it was when he purchased It
from Jay Gould in 1888 to first place
among American newspapers, was to-
tally blind and realizing that his
years were numbered. sought an edi-
tor who could maintain or add to
its standing. He had his secretary
begin reading to him daily the edi-
torials of practically all the leading
newspapers In the United States.
Through process of elimination the
list was reduced to about twenty.
and the editorials of these twenty
papers were read religiously for
weeks before Mr.. Pulitzer directed
his manager to go to Detroit and
engage the man who was writing
the leading editorials for the Detroit
Free Press. There he found Frank
l. Cobb.
After the death of Mr.. Pulitzer
Mr.. Cobb became absolute dictator
of the Worlds editorial policies.
Perhaps no man in America was
better informed on American politi-
cal history or kept closer in touch
with current affairs than Frank l.
Cobb. TIe was logical reasoner,
original and honest In the formation
Of opinions and absolutely independ-
ent and fearless in expressing them.
His editorials we're noted for defin-
iteness in conclusions, clarity and
strength.
