This is a story of present-day journalism and of James Radbourne, who started as reporter on a daily paper and ended as proprietor of one. All the ups and downs of a newspaper career, all the rivalries and jealousies between staff and managers of different papers come out in the story and how James Radbourne took the straight course until he won out and made himself a name for honest journalism. He did not know that some one was watching this course, but when she was satisfied that it was the right one she came and asked for a job. It was “Miladi.”
