EDITORS PAY VISIT TO MARION STAR AND FIND A REAL PAPER.
-If President Harding is as big a success as Editor Harding he will go down in history In the Hall of Fame,*' writes J. Gabbert of Riverside. Cal., Id an article just published on his return from Marlon, where he visited Hardings pager. -We found Just the sort of a paper a future President might be expected to edit,” says Mr. Gabbert, “and the visit, to us came nearer to being an editorial conference than a political crusade. “We.found men working for Editor Harding who had been with him for periods varying from 26 to 88 years. We found that Editor Harding follows closely every detail incident to the publication of his paper. He Hows what pay the helpers on the floor get. just as he knows the amount he. pays his manager. Ho can handle type like the rest of us, and It would keep my foreman busy to beat him on. setting up a stick of 8-polnt type. He knows how to make up a paper like a veteran and he Is just as much at home in the business office looking over the adver--tlsing accounts.”
