To me there always has been someth toft awkward - something lacking, in picking up a piece of | writing, loo-klrn; through it, per ' haps being gripped by something i that is set fort!: in a catchy way; the,), finding out that I don't know ad have no Idea, who wrote it. To t. > it hi .tin ' i 1 e fining to a lecture and getting .lammed in behind a post where I can't see the speak <■ It is utter the same manner as -listening to a sermon when one lias no idea who is prer riling it. For after all, it Isn't so much what is said but who fa’,;, it that mints! Of course. I'm not supposed to know anything about .journalism, and don't. I understand that, per fectly, But I do know something about what I like. And when It comes to i cadlng, 1 have an Idea that my lik«and dislikes do not differ much from the likes and dis likes of nrerug > people here and there, everywhere And I’m pretty sure that most of us woul-* like to have tlie stuff we read, signed. Shakespeare to the contrary, notwithstanding. to me at least, there 1” something In n name. What would be the effect on one reading the Midsummer Night's Dream, without Shakespeare's name attached? How about the Declar ation of Independence, without the signatures of the men who signed it? And the Emancipation Procla mation without Lincoln's name to It? Everybody knows that what Will Rogers has to say each day would riot amount to a snap If his signa ture didn't accompany it. Think of reading a review of Paul Green's nlays without knowing whose Ideas were expressed. And how about these anonymous pieces we see everyday in tire newspapers—edi torials, happenings and all—writ ten by we know not whom, and un interesting to the discerning in pre cisely the ratio in which we can or cannot figure out their authors, i m ell for this personal Journal ism. Take Mark Sullivan's political articles: Ills signature Is what mak es them important. Back in the days- ot the World War when Frank Slmonds was writing his penetrat ing reticles about the progress of events the thing that mattered about those wonderfully exact statements was the authority be hind them. Many times we know n certain thing is true Just because a certain man said it. Anyway, the by-line is back. Per sonal Journalism is flourishing. And I can see no reason why it shouln't be back, I know the arguments on the other side; but it always did flatten me out a bit to take up a newspaper and look at the head of the column on the editorial and not be able to find the names of the men who were responsible for the paper. An editorial page with out a name at the top of It! Why. Its names that make the world go round. A good many newspapers', now are carrying the names of the publisher, editor gnd managing edi tor. Some of them are carrying more names. Magazines know the value of names and almost every thing they carry is signed—-that's what makes them carry It. and that's why people spend money to buy their sheets. In recent days 1 have been no ticing a lot of the newspapers, to see how they are using names to their articles and reports. As an in stance, a daily in a small North Carolina city had ten by-lines in one of its week-day Issues. Anoth er Carolina paper had, in its Sun day issue twenty-three by-lines. On a week-dayy Atlanta Georgian had thirty-four names signed to its ar tide* and feature;.: tne Macon Evening News lmd twelve; and the Atlanta Journal, thirty-two. One North Carolina paper had twenty five names signed in a week-day issue and The News and Observer was out a few Sundays ago with thirty by-lines. And In all these newspapers mentioned. the car toons and drawings are not count ed. I’ve been talking about articles, special columns, features and the like. I have been told that Charles Parker of The News and Observer, is the first reporter In the South who was allowed to sign his name. Anyway, now. u great number of them are doing it. It seems to me tha' it lends authority. It substi tute;; personality for anonymity. To sign a name squirts a bit. of life into the printed page. To write without a name oh well. I'm Just convinced that it never hits the spot on the same level as docs 1 something that appears with a | man’s name attached. One doesn't know where this swing in personal journalism will go to. One bs<; New York puuer has more than twenty by-lines on its week-day issues- names which, for the most part, mean something Out in the . late of Oklahoma it is said that fifty-tlure.' Oklahoma newspapers signed editorial col umns by members of their staffs. A survey made at the University of the State made that revelation. "Some of this signed matter is purely editorial. Some is humor, some on special subjects, as sports and women's interests, and still other columns ate mixed up (Y I have some letters tiled away that are precious to me precisely because they are signed. There's one from Schumann-Heink. Its the signature that makes that letter valuable. Take away the signatur es tiom my letters, then you may have the letters, too. Take away the names from the books I read and the magazine articles, and you've done an. incalculable amount ot damage to me. Set before me a newspaper with no signature on It —well, it Is better than nothing, but If the right names appeared, as authorities, how much better it would strike home!
