 | | In July 1926, in Canton, Ohio, Don R. Mellett, young editor of James M. Cox's Canton News, was shot down in his back yard one evening as he was putting his car away. |
 | | But Editor Pew was not downhearted: ''In summation I surely cannot say that I believe Don Mellett's martyrdom was in vain, though the sacrifice was terrible and though the tangible results seem vague. |
 | | It is as incredible that Don Mellett's self-sacrifice, dying that others might live, will fail to cast its radiance upon striving millions as that the morning Summer sun shall fail to awaken the sleeping earth, open the petals of the nodding flowers and scatter the miasmic mists of darkness. |
