And now he will never know. February, 1918. I wonder if there is any other country where the death of a young poet is double-column front-page news? And if poets were able to proofread their own obits, I wonder if any two lines would have given Joyce Kilmer more honest pride than these: JOYCE KILMER, POET, IS KILLED IN ACTION
In conscience, said he, if conscience required such a palliative, he had made restitution. On the floor at his foot lay the extra. In falling it had presented to his view the other side of the fold. The ruled, double-column box, with the surrounding type lifted irregularly around it, attracted his attention.
Do you think, if a great and honoured statesman dies, sub-editors care two pins about his public services? Not they. All they worry about is whether he is worth double-column headings, a long primer intro., and a line across the page. 'I didn't know Courtenay Colville was so ill, I commented mildly.
The next morning I got up early, and found a Lexington daily on the front porch where the carrier had thrown it. The first thing I saw in it was a double-column ad. on the front page that read like this: FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS REWARD
At the breakfast table the Governor scanned a local paper and with a chirrup passed it to Archie, pointing to a double-column headline: A CARNIVAL OF BURGLARY IN MAINE Archie's eyes fell upon the bizarre photograph of a dead man with which the page was illustrated, and he choked on a fragment of grapefruit as he read the inscription: "Dead Thief, Identity Unknown."
The "Times" quoted sample sentences, such as: "Do not think that I am come to bring you ease and comfort; I am come to bring strife and disorder to this world." I turned to the editorial page, and there was a double-column leader, made extra impressive by leads. "AN INFAMOUS BLASPHEMY," was the heading.
And again the expletive of disillusion burst from between Mallory's teeth as he saw the front-page double-column spread, a type-specialty of the usually conservative Ledger upon which it prided itself, dwindle to a carefully handled inside-page three-quarter of a column.

"Exactly." "Why the double-column measure?" "More attractive to the eye. It stands out." "And the heavy type for the same reason?" "Yes. I want to make 'em just as easy to read as possible." "They're easy to read," admitted the other. "Are they all yours?" "Mine and others'." Marrineal looked a bland question. Banneker answered it. "I've been up and down in the highways and the low-ways, Mr.
I had feelings of the strongest fraternal affection for Edward, and if the reader cares to see his likeness, he has only to look at the engraved portraits of Shelley, especially the one in Moxon's double-column edition of 1847. The likeness there is so striking that, for me, it supplies the place of any other. Edward died at the age of seventeen.
