'The Editors' are an elusive bunch who seem to delight in obscurity.

C P Scott, for example, used to hide behind a huge and presumably false beard.

Geoffrey Dawson even changed his name! Supposedly, so he could inherit
a large fortune - but that could have been a clever cover story.

J L Garvin .... No Image in the Image Gallery which is really hard to imagine.

In the interests of science, please provide images of all three
WITHOUT beards or other facial hair.

Bryan,
I?ve found portraits of Dawson and Garvin who are both unshaven, but
Scott must have been born with his beard. I?ve found images from 1899
to 1921 - all with his beard. There is an earlier undated photograph
as well. Perhaps another researcher may be more successful. Let me
known what you think.

Wow AF

Brilliant!

And the words that you have unearthed are also brilliant!

Here is J L Garvin

http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Jgarvin.htm

He has a moustache - rather a strange one - sort of unkempt 19th century Hussar

C P Scott seems to be ubiquitiously hairy, sometimes comically so.
He must have needed some sort of protective device to eat

Guardian, Observer, Times  - add the Telegraph ...

Hi Jerry

Great link ...

Looks like Wyatt Earp.

Please go to the Top of the Class!

All the Best

Many thanks for the tip Bryan. I liked the quote too. Here?s the full
quote ? Guardian 5 May 1921.

"[The newspaper's] primary office is the gathering of news. At the peril of
its soul it must see that the supply is not tainted. Neither in what it
gives, nor in what it does not give, not in the mode of presentation, must
the unclouded truth suffer wrong. Comment is free but facts are sacred. 
The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, third ed (New York: Oxford
University Press, 1980"
