STAR MAN.

The article presents the author's views on the attributes of William Rockhill Nelson as an editor accountable for his success. Aggressiveness, reliability and honesty, accuracy and personality of the editor were the attributes. The editor had chosen fiery young men, either fresh college passed outs or even from high school to mould them to his viewpoint, and let them fight for it. In the pressroom he read every line printed in newspaper. It was a unique way of monitoring. Each person in the newsroom was supplementary to the other. Nelson expected every man to write the stories in pencil and paper, because he believed that typewriters destroyed the creative ability of men.
