I "The Late Mr. J. P. Hood

It is with regret that our readers will‘ learn of the Plating-of Mr. John P. Hood, for many years president and manager of The Charlottetown Guardian. Mr. Hood was a born newspaper man. I-fe served no ap- prenticeship to the business, but in early life ente ’ the employment of The Island Guardian Publishing COIIIPI-Dy when its fortunes were at a very low ebb indeed. l-le had a strong personality and a determined spirit which enabled him to overcome many difficulties which seemed un- Iurmountable. He and the late Mr. B. D. l-liggs combined in laying the foundations well and truly of Th Charlottetown Guardian. ' ‘Those were hard and pressing

times for newspaper publications.

a journal. indeed, The Guardian it- self was the outcome of such a oom- bination, succeeding in name the publication of the weekly newspa- per, The Presbyterian, edited and controlled by Mr. Henry Lawson. On the death of Mr. Higgs, after a~ short interval, Mr. J. E. B. Mc- Cready Joined "Mr. Hood as editor and the combination proved a very strong and satisfactory one so far

necessary in the interests oi the peo- ple, as drinking, and the consequences 0f drinkins. were very evident throughout the Province. The cam. Palm carried on by The Guardian under this Joint control resulted ul- timately in the Ilarquharson Gov- ernment going to the country on a Prohibition platform and winning.

Edward Island under Government, and subsequent! Hood, with whom was associated Mr. ilianton R. Newsom in the manager- ial control, decided to sell out his interests in an organization repre- senting the Conservative party in the Province. Mr. Hood severed his connection with The Guardian in February, 1813.

The Guardian and its readers will Join in extending sincere sympathy to the widow and family in their bereavement.

An Object Lesson

object lesson to those (fortunately few) Canadians who have a penchant for indiscriminate criticism of every- thin pertaining to law administra- tion in their own country.

The United States researchers have collected data from thirty-one cities with a collective population of twenty-five million people. The fig-

Then the statisticians add one sig- nificant statement: The number of convictions in murder cases in the United States is decreasing steadily. The number oi murders is rapidly in- creasing throughout the country.

When Roentgen accidentally dis- covered the X ray by means of a Crookes tubs in his laboratory, it was felt that an important step ior- ward was made in medicine.

You will remember that the first uses were locating metal objects in the stomach ,or' elsewhere in the body, and diagnosing broken bones.

Since thattime so many uses for the X ray have been found that it was felt that there‘ was really noth- ing more to be learned. However, the discoveries of the past year alone, are enough to show us that like in- sulin, the liver diet and so forth, there is a great deal still to be learn- ed by means oi the X ray.

Heretofore the examination of the bladder and, tubes running from the kidneys was extremely difficult and required a trained eye and thsskill- od_ use of special instruments. To- day it is Possible to observefthe con- ditio_n of these organs by means o: the X ray.
