Mr. John Lewis, uthor of the Life of George Brown, an for many years chief editorial writer , n Tile Globe, is The Star's chief wri•-r, and the staff has recently been in reused by the a000e- sion of Mr. Jose ' . T. Clark, "Mack," formerly editor 01 he Saturday Night. Mr. Lewis and hair, •lark stand in the first rank of their rofession in Can- ada, and, the oombi ation of two such writers on the staff .of the same paper is something uniqa in Canadian jour- nalism. The Star's .dttorials are always sane, progressive, exceptionally free from bias, politica or otherwise, and always eminently readable. Special contributions, in w, ich "Mack's" per- sonality le partionl,rly noticeable, are now an outstanding 'eaters of the page, so that altogether it little wonder that it is popular.
