Indianapolis Times, Indianapolis, Marion County, 29 August 1936 — Page 25

One of the most delightful things about a Times columnist is his change of pace. Today he may take you behind the scenes at Washington, London or Rome for a close-up view of world-famous figures| and let you listen in to their offstage lines. Tomorrow he may open the pop-valve to his pent up feelings on poor relief, horse racing or the love life of the Columbia River salmon. He's ironical, whimsical, satirical and witty by turns. Sometimes he’s in dead earnest...sometimes he writes with his tongue in his cheek. And occasionally he takes. ‘a none too gentle swing at some of your cherished beliefs. But whether you agree with him, or disagree, he’s always interesting, entertaining and informative. His columns are personal, intimate, informal .. . like a letter from a friend. Because he can... and does

Pegler has a knack for apt expression and pungent phraseology, richly flavored with humor. Sham and pretense in high places are Pegler’s pet hates. And when he sets out to expose’them the result is usually devastating. You'll get a kick out of Pegler. And more than once you'll
