Nieman, Who Started New Policy in Newspapers, Passes MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 1.—Lu- cius W. Nieman, aged 77, editor. of the Milwaukee Journal, is dead at his home here. He: was President of the Journal Company and editor of the Milwaukee Journal, for half a century was & dominant figure in Wisconsin Jeu . He,took qver the Jourpdl & few weeks:after its founding as a small political organ in 1882, suppressing its partisanship and producing the first issues “while sitting on a packing case and writ- ing on a barrel head.” Always In, Control He never relinquished control of the Journal. Through the vears in which the Journal became a publi- cation of wide influence and at- tained a handsome commercial suc- cess, Nieman remained at the helm, constantly amazing his co-workers with his intimate grasp of the min- utest details of the organization he developed. In the last decade he delegated most of his responsibilities to others, but he retained his office in the Journal building and dropped in oceasfonally to wrestle with par- ticularly vexing problems. The Journal was regarded by Nie- man as the successful culminaiion of an experiment in divorcing jour- nalism and politics. He started with that idea in 1882 and in Wiscon- sin’s' often furbulent political af- fairs he maintained a vigorous inde- pendence which frequently prompt- ed him to shift support from party to party, and to assail erstwhile po- litical friends when he believed they had betrayed their trusts. Born in Wisconsin Nieman was born at Bear Valley, Sauk county, Wis, December 13, 1857. His father died two years later and he was reared by his moth- | er's parents, H.
