He doc.fn't look it; and his writ- ings, wjiile they suggest ripe judgment and a tolerant spirit, have always done so. Perhaps nobody of equal importance in the community • is so little known to the general public as the editor of a great paper, who is content to be just an editor, and whose name does not appear in print as lec- turer, orator or Public Nuisance No. 2. We doubt if 1 per cent, of the Star's readers know the name of th« editor. Not one in a thousand, prob- ably, knows him by sight. The Big Little Man Perhaps it is just as well for their romantic ideas, for Mr. Clark is im- posing mainly by his intellect. The story is told that once when he ap- plied for a job on a newspaper, the editor looked him over critcally, and said "No. You're too small." This was in the days when an editor had to depend on his fists to make good what he had said with his pen. The ap- plicant took his hat off, leaned over the editor who was seated and jam- med it on him. It competely covered head and face and chin. Even as a young man Joe Clark was big where it is important that a man who strives for supremacy in the world of ideas should be big. And he has grown no smaller with the passing of t"he years. With a brief interval ag editor of Saturday Night he has been editor of the To. ronto Star ever since it was founded. He has been one of the chief reasons for the remarkable success of that newspaper. He has given it not only direction but character. He has made few enemies for his paper, and has not in the world, we think, a personal enemy. Everybody likes him, for he is about the boonest companian we know. Everybody respects him, for h« has never said a mean thing among the million things he has said. As a genial controversialist he is unequal- led. For a third of a century he has carried on an editorial duel with the 'telegram and has never lost his temper, never winced when hurt, never exulted when he made his own ringing scores. His editorial "slyle has been at once the envy and the despair of the younger men in his profession.
