A most engaging and promising personality disappeared from public life when Major John Purroy Mitchel fell to his death at Gerstner Field on last Saturday. Two years ago there was no young man in the U.S. with such bright prospects before him. At that time but thirty-seven years of age, he was admittedly the ablest and best Mayor New York had ever had. Under him the city was taking great governmental strides. He had the respect and regard of the men who lead public opinion; students of civic administration were following his career with admiration.
