Frank Knox Is
Fighting Editor
With Pen and Fists He
Upholds Editorial
Independence.
Business and Professional . . .

Not many years ago it was cirs
tomary, and sometimes 11 necessity,
lor every newspaper oflice to have
one member of its stuff who bore
the title of "lighting editor."Most
of the leaders of American jour-
nalism grew up in that school, In-
cluding Frank Knox, the Chicago
publisher, who is the "favorite
son" of Illinois Republicans for the
presidential nomination tlds year.
Knox got into the newspaper
business by accident. As a trooper
in the Rough Riders in the Spanish
war he wrote letters home to his
anguished mother and proud fa-
ther. The latter had them printed
iii the "home town" newspapers.
When Knox returned from the war,
both papers in Grand Rapids,
Mich., offered him a job. He
joined the-staff of the Grand Rnp-
Uls Herald and quickly discovered
that not all the fighting was done
in a war.
One day an irate citizen who ob-
jected to a crusade the paper was
carrying on rushed into the shop
to "clean up the editor." Knox
launched himself into the fray and.
with the aid of another reporter,
succeeded in propelling the intru-
der down the stairs. Thereupon,
the "lighting editor" who had
armed himself with a fifteen-pound
copy of Webster's dictionary,
heaved it nfter him. It happened
to strike the angry citizen square-
ly on the head and knocked him
out completely.
A few years later Knox, with
John A. Mnehling, bought the Sault
Ste. Marie, Mich., News. At that
time the "Soo" section was one of
the toughest in the country. It
was a dull day when there was not
an affray of some kind. Knox be-
gan a "cleanup" crusade, fearlessly
investigating, printing the facts
and naming names. Finally he
forced withdrawal of the license
of the "big shot" of the town.
The "big shot" himself broke the
news by announcing his intention
to "finish that red-headed editor."
Knox got his first intimation of
trouble in the composing room
when a reporter "tubed" a warning
to him that the racketeer was on
his way upstairs in spite of all
they could do. Recalling that a
surprise attack is often the best
means of defense, Ivnorx raced to
the head of the stairs, met his ad-
versary just as lie reached the top,
and anticipated his assault with an
uppercut to the chin which toppled
him down stairs again. A passing
policeman took the man to the hos-
pital.
On another occasion a drunk,
armed with a carving knife, called
to "carve up the editor." Knox
was in a nearby cubby-hole oflice,
cut off from all means of escape.
He advanced on the man with a de-
mand that he "drop that knife and
get out." At the same time Knox
was ready to leap the counter,
sprint or fight, if necessary to up-
hold his personal objection to be-
ing carved up by anybody. To his
astonishment, however, the man
pocketed Ids knife and walked out
without another word.
Present day editors rarely ever
have such experiences. There has
been a change, not only on the part
of the reading public but in the
newspapers themselves. Without
fear or favor, editors of the fight-
ing type of Knox now carry on
their crusades through the publi-
cation of facts and fair interpreta-
tions, knowing that those who dis-
agree with them nevertheless roc-
ognlze their sincerity of purpose in
the service of the public. His bat-
tle to preserve a free press under
NRA is well known to his newspa-
per colleagues.
