Arthur Brisbane,
Editor, Dies atH
Work Known to Millions;
Column Popular in This
Newspaper.

i .
New York, N. with the
death of Arthur Brisbane Christ
mas morning, the world lost it's
most widely known and most
widely read newspaper writer
and editor. The veteran COM
mentator, whose column 'This
Week" appeared regularly in
this newspaper, died of heart
disease while he slept. He was
seventy-two.
True to the Brisbane tradition, he
kept up the terrific pace Of his work
to the last. When he was stricken
late in the afternoon of Christmas
eve he had almost finished his col
unn, To-day" which appeared in
many large daily newspapers, prln-
cipally those of William Randolph
Hearst's string He was forced to call
upon his son, Seward, %, to complete
it. 1t was the first time in his life
Arthur Brisbane had not finished
what he had set out to write.
Millions of Readers.
It was only few hours afterward
Mr.. Brisbane fell asleep in his Fifth
avenue apartment. At his bedside
were his physicians, DR.. Leopold
Stieglitz and DR.. Frederick Zeman,
and a nurse. In the apartment his
entire family had gathered-his
wife, Mrs. Phoebe Brisbane, whom
he had married in 1912; his son,
Seward, and his four daughters, Mrs.

j. r. K. McCrary, %; Emily, IS;
Alice, IA, and Elinor, IL. The great
editor never awakened.
Probably no one knows how many
millions Of persons read Mr.. Bris-
bane's verse, analytical comments
upon the news of the day. 1t is esti-
mated that rs millions read his daily
column. Additional millions followed
with satisfaction the weekly column
syndicated by Western Newspaper
Union to this and many other lead
ing weekly newspapers.
Mr.. Brisbane was wealthy. It is
reported that his yearly salary at
the time of his death. was $3.50, 900.
In addition, there was the return on
his extensive real estate holdings.
Arthur Brisbane was born in Buff
falo, N. Y, in 1864. He attended the
public schools and then, forsaking a
college education, he became re-
porter on the old New York Sun at
10. Yet his rise to the position he
held in the world of journalism at
the last was not the Horatio Ager
type of success story, with glory
GROWING the hero after countless
tear-jerking tribulations. He was
good and he was successful from the
start.
It was not long before he was the
Suns London correspondent. After
five years, there was a shake-up on
the paper and the management
cabled him to return. He said he
would if they made him managing
editor. Managing editor! He was
just %. They made him managing
editor. And so well did he execute
his job, Joseph Pulitzer took him
over to the New York World, which,
under the Brisbane dictatorship,
soon became the most influential
organ of public opinion in America.
"Greatest Journalist of Day."
When William Randolph Hearst
came from California and bought
the New York Journal he hired Mr..
Brisbane a reduction in salary
of almost SO per cent. But there was
an agreement that as the circulation
increased, so would his compensa-
ton. HIS earnings on the World
were multiplied in almost no time.
The association with Hearst be-
came lifelong friendship, and Mr..
Brisbane soon became regarded as
next to Mr.. Hearst in Importance in
the chain of newspapers. When he
died, Mr.. Hearst said: 81 know that
Arthur Brisbane was the greatest
journalist of his day.
It was Arthur Brisbane who was
credited with bringing the trend of
newspaper style "down to earth"
He believed that newspapers should
be written for the ordinary man, not
the intelligentsia. He wrote that way
and his columns appealed to col
lege professors as well as to mer-
chants and farmers. -4+
He dictated his 1000 to / 200 crisp,
unwasted words daily in half an hour
to an hour. There was dictaphone
beside him wherever he went. He
would even wake up in Pullman
berths and begin dictation at two or
three in the morning.

Lord Nufield English, is a gen.
erous giver; his automobile manu-

gave $1O,OOO,OO0 to the University
of Oxford, has established trust
of $40, 900, 900 for his employees, and
has given $10,OOO,0OO to the British
government ''to help the needy"
His giving in the past eleven years
amounts to about thirty-seven mil
lion dollars.
If Lord Nuhield were to multiply
his gifts by ten, he would still be
far from the giving record of our
homegrown John D. Rockefeller;
also, he would be surprised to know
how much prosperous, Americans
contribute to their government for

The governor OF Pennsylvania
spent three days carefully investi-
eating illegal coal mining and sell
ing by idle workers, ''bootlegging''
property of coal corporations, sell
ing more than thirty million dollars
worth of "stolen' coal each year.
At the end of his investigation, the
governor ''took action" but of a
kind that probably will surprise
mine owners. % aaW al
He ordered the arrest of four ex-
ecutives of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal & Iron company, accus-
ing them of involuntary man
slaughter in connection with coal
mine disaster three years ago that
killed thirteen. The officials and
company are accused of employing
eighty-five men in a mine section
on which only seventy-five could
be legally employed. An explosion
killed thirteen. Mine owners with
| grievances will think carefully be-
fore calling on Gov Earle again.

because they did not fire that fatal
Shot. The governor replied he ought
not to pardon any murderer under
twenty-one years of age, because 81

The "big shot" gangsters hire
men, usually very young and well

easy for these employers of killers
if they could take boys from sixteen

Yet, at that age, men are often
