VISITS WORLDS GREATEST

At the office of The Defender one
has quite a different personality in
Editor Robert s. Abbott. In him 1
expected to discover, at least 200
pound gathering of protoplasm. In
stead Mr.. Abbott falls about forty
pounds short of the two century
mark. His voice is soft, somewhat
paternal, and was certainly raised in
Dixie where hurried words were not
survival elements.
Apparently one cannot storm the
citadel of his acquaintance in mo-
ment His good graces must be ac-
Quired instead of captured. No mat
ter how gained, he has ability to
repose responsibility upon the officers
of his enterprise. He refers all
business connected with his news
paper to his general manager, Phil
A Jones. Try to talk business Of
this description with r. S. Abbott
and he is as plant as a deep sea
clam. One is sure to stiffly encoun-
ter that "see my lawyer" attitude.
Qualities and rules Of this kind, per
haps, account for the success Of the
Chicago Defender.
Upon the surface he is not enthus
iastic nor does he appear to be as
aggressive and persevering as he had
to be to accomplish that which he
has. His face is not easily read
Whereas many everyday porters
have Chesterfeldian bearing and
kingly mein this Windy City Scribe
is Numerically opposite. His real
achievements are greater than his
physique and face would rate him
upon inspection.

INSTALLMENT NO. 4

Men seldom venture to inquire or
search beyond their needs. Quite
every rustic reader in America mas
pored over the pages of the Chica
90 Blade and Ledger, and what
reader, urban or rural, who has not
seen or heard of the Saturday Even
ing Post? The greater marvel IS
that only scant few can tell the
name of the editor of either of these
widely known publications. The
same is true of the editor OF The
Chicago Whip? What is his name!
Where did he originate, and what
does he look like? His name is j..
!, Bibb. and to the writer his origin
is unknown. To be candid, judging
from the choppy name Of his paper
I expected to find person whose
actions were images of "The Whip. "
The anticipation lacked mucn OF
being the wrongest ever connlved at.
His expressions were natural, anu
most forceful. In conversation his
words are incisive. His actions de-
cisiye Instead of talking his point
to a conclusion, he whips them
thereI We often refer to southt
westerners as having drawing &C
cents. In speed we might say they
are as graceful as elephants. Here,
however, was an example wholly a
contrast. This editor impressed me
in this regard as being a blusterer.
Ordinarily Mr.. Bibb takes a posi-
ton which is anything but natural
He is thoughtful, considerate and
quite easy to talk to, but by no
means stingy with criticism. Any
one interviewing him will probably
agree that he has a crystal clear
head. He feels that he knows
what he is talking about and hasn't
any reluctance in giving voice to his
view of the question, usually
couched in choice words dynamited
to the point.
He is further, the pOssessor of the
great quality of FRANKNESS. Those
who have been unfortunate as to fall
beneath the lasbes of THE Whip
are likely to hold this opinion.
