Rufus Logan

Rufus Logan was the editor of The Professional World, a newspaper for African Americans established in Columbia, Missouri in 1901.

[1] Logan was described as being from Jefferson City, having "considerable" teaching and writing experience, and having been educated at Lincoln Institute.

Logan ran an unsigned editorial innthe World that said the Palladium was "filled with whiskey and wine room ads., and has no regard for the truth."

The editorial took exception to Wheeler's calling the editor of a third African-American newspaper, the American Eagle, an "old black man.

"[10] Such references are disgraceful to the editorial profession and no respectable editor would make use of such.
