Editor "Thirty" The Great Managing "30" to the story of a tic career; the last period and it remains only for ers, to recall and recount a life that had an important ress of Zanesville and The death of Clarence Wednesday morning comes to members of The Times staff, with whom he had ciated. Editor has written distinguished journalishas been inserted us, his fellow workthe high points in part in the progSoutheastern Ohio. E. Granger on as a severe blow Recorder news so long been asso- For more than a third of a century Mr.

Granger was Managing Editor of this newspaper, and it is not too much to say that it was the one great concern of his living, night and day, throughout that long term of years. He joined its staff in its earliest days and lived to see it reach heights of power and prestige; and now that he is gone, perspective emphasizes that his character, his leadership were central factors in this achievement. Reserve was instinctive to him. He liked understatement in the written word, and his own speech, for all its emphatic strength, was courtesy itself. Members of his staff were aided by suggestion and restraint, rather than direct command; he knew how to encourage them by discerning word, and he stood by them with a loyalty that made this paper the best of workshops.

His loyalty bears defining. It was part and parcel of his devotion to The Times Recorder, his love for it, his interest in it. That loyalty ran first of all to the paper as an institution, a living force, regardless of the desires of any individual. As a matter of course such loyalty included the members of his staff. He knew them as friends.

He cared deeply about their personal problems and if ever in their outside labors they ran afoul of trouble, there was no doubt where "the boss" stood. A word belongs to his courage. It can be said of him that he did not know the meaning of fear, that when gales blew hardest and seas ran roughest, his confidence and faith waxed mightier, and thereby during a period of the highest mortality in newspaper life The Times Recorder grew ever stronger, more worthy of its highly intelligent reading public. Mr. Granger was the staunchest of Republicans, but it was equally his conviction that a good Republican must be an independent one and that party allegiance must never be permitted to outweigh consideration of the public welfare.

Whenever times compelled, his editorials opposed the party and followed the line of patriotism as he saw it. There was a quality of straightforwardness in his speech and thoroughness in his thinking which gave at once strength and simplicity to his actions. His memory was extraordinary, as accurate as it was retentive. He refused to jump to conclusions or heed public clamor, yet in a period of mighty changes he had the ability alike to hold fast to what was right and to accept open-mindedly what was demonstrably in the line of progress. He was beyond question a leader.

His were the virtues to hold a staff true to its best. There could be no doubting his courage, his loyalty, his strength, his sense of justice. He lived as he died -beloved and unafraid.
