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.

Editor Don R. Mellett of the now defunct Canton, Ohio News was a newsman of the Front Page stripe: a tough and incorruptible crusader, he uncovered an unholy alliance between racketeers and the Canton city government, was gunned down by his enemies in 1926 and became one of U.S. journalism's martyrs.
