| PAGE 2 PRAISES THE LIFE OF BRODIE JONES Polk Says Former Editor Was Raised Above The ft: Ordinary Level WORKED FOR PUBLIC By WILLIAM POLK Brodie Jones was one of those few persons who are raised above the ordinary level of humankind by the finer qualities within them. Most men are governed by many motives, not the least of which are selfishness, greed, anger, malice and fear, but in Brodie Jones these qualities j had no existence. They were as absolutely and conspicuously absent as if they had never existed on earth. And those who knew him knew that ' * fn/jf that (tfifiy couxa COUlll, UII uic iom w??v those all-too-human faults could have no influence on what he would say or do. because his nature was closed to them. He was generous; his friends knew that whatever he had was theirs for the asking or without asking. He was utterly unselfish. If he wanted money, it was only to put it into projects looking to the betterment of his community. And this generosity and unselfishness overflowed in little acts of true charity? apparently insignificant, but bearing that tremendous significance which trifles sometimes passessuch as giving a little gold ring to a little child, arranging Christmas trees on streets and Court House Square to gladden the hearts of rich and pcor, young and old, or getting up a testimonial of love and affection from many people as a birthday greeting to a great man chained to his bed by long sickness. Goodwill, cheerfulness and kindness went out from him to all with whcm he came in contact, simple and spontaneously. He drew people I to him. Very few men have had as many close friends as he had. His energy was remarkable. He worked strenuously and zealously, long and hard. He was a good man to work with or to work for. His mind was strong, practical, fair and liberal in all things. He could build up a business. His sense of honor was the finest. He had not only moral honesty but also intellectual honesty?that rare virtue. The most difficult duty of an editor of a newspaper in a community where people know each other is to sense and hew to that delicate and invisible line that divides the truth that ought to be printed from the truth that ought not to be; he owes a duty to the public to give them the news, he owes a duty to humanity not to hurt anyone, and sometimes these duties conflict. Only an editor who is also a gentleman, possessor of tact and judgement, common sense and uncommon courage and kindness of heart can find and follow that delicate dividing line. Few there be who find it, but Brodie Jones was one of the few. Soonor or later, sought or unsought, whether we try to escape it or turn to meet it, death comes to us all. Why should we fear or distrust what is universal? The sorrow that we feel at the departure of the finer human beings from this earth ought not to outweigh our thankfulness that we have seen and {VI1W TY 11 kliVill.
