Howard:-"It Is q common habit
seldom justified by the facts to state
that the passing Of an important
national figure will leave a niche
that cannot be filled. In the pass
ing Of Arthur Brisbane from the
field Of American Journalism, this
Is literally the case.
For a score Of years others have
attempted to copy his style or dupli-
cate his efforts, but never with sue
cess. 1t Is as a cUlumnist with prob
ably the largest daily newspaper
audience In the United States that
Mr.. Brisbane Is best known to the
largest number Of people. This
success was one achieved after he
had passed what are usually the
peak years for q newspaperman.
But to newspaperman and to
his intimates, the essence of the
mans true genius was not revealed
in his extraordinary abilities as an
editor, q correspondent, or a col
umnist. Arthur Brisbane's real
genius was most fully revealed In
his ability as reporter. In this field
the entire history Of American jour-
nalisrn lists few who were his equal.

and how to create It, few understood
so well. News facts-how to obtain
them and how to present them gra-

Reporter Of Facts
1T was as reporter Of facts that
he started his career. Upon his
genius for obtaining, valuing and
presenting facts he based every
newspaper. endeavor to which he
turned his hand. 1t was as a re-
porter that he closed a career which
for color, thrill and achievement,
outdid the most imaginative efforts

fiction"
