_ most interesting experiment iii newspaper ownership in its history

THE POLI'I‘I(‘.\ I. ..\ XE

country districts.

_ The latest victim of theiaxe is Mr. James Lan- drigan, Manager of the Government School Supply. ’ He has received intimation that his services will not be required after March lst. No cause, so far as we can learn, has been assigned for this dismissal. Mr. Landrigan not only inaugurated the School Supply but through the several years 0f its existence has con- ducted it successfully and to the entire satisfaction _ been regarded as especially qualified for the position, his long and suc- cessful career as a teacher and his intimate know- ledge of school books and school requirements being one of the essential qualifications for such a posi- tion. During his incumbency, so far as can be ascer- tained, he attended strictly to his business taking no part in politics or otherwise meddling with affairs of

of the public,

government.

His successor is Mr. F. W. Hughes, former pro- prietor of the well known Hughes’ Livery Stables on Grafton Street. Mr. Hughes is one of our best known citizens and has the reputation of being a good horse- man. He also has the reputation of being an ziggres- sive political speaker and is much in evidence during the strenuous day's of’ a political campaign. credited with having handled a considerable share of the wool pulled over the eyes of the electors dur- ing the last campaign. What he knows about school books and school supplies has not been revealed either by himself on the stump or by the government. Whether his appointment to the important position of Manager of the School Supply is in recognition of his success as a horseman or the natural evolution

. from the stump to a political office we are not inform- ed, but why in this particular instance, if a change was necessary, should not a returned soldier have received the appointment?

In this connection it may also be said that prac- tically a clean sweep has been made in the Depart- ment of Agriculture. Of those in oflice when the pres- ent government came into power not one remains ex- cept Mr. Shaw and he, doubtless anticipating a like fate, has linked up his fortunes with an agricultural newspaper in Moncton. Both the-Department and the province are losing a good man. Mr. Boulter, for merly Inspector of Schools and for some time con- nected with the agricultural department remains. Mr. Scales and Mr. Richard Creed, both graduates of agricultural colleges, were dismissed.

Another season of rare enjoyment is promised the citizens of Charlottetown in the “Follies of 19_20" to be presented under the auspices of the Knights’ of Columbus on Thursday and Friday evenings week and “The House Next'Door” on Monday aud Tuesday of next week. The programme has been so arranged as to give pleasing variety throughout, the first two evenings to be devoted to light opera and the last two to comedy. These productions are being staged by Messrs Hurley and Buckhart of St. John, two gentlemen thoroughly conversant with and experienced in theatrical requirements.

Two features especially in connection with this presentation should commend the undertaking to our ‘citizens, namely, the proceeds are for charitable purposes, and the programme is carried out by local

talent.

i That Charlottetown possesses -local talent, both musicalhand histrionic, has been proved on many occasions and, judging by‘ the pre- paration being made for “The Follies of 1920" there is going to be a display of talent that will be worth

witnessin g.

The purpose of the entertainments, to provide for the poor, will not be lost sight of in charitable Charlottetown. “The poor we have always with us” and the fact that they are to benefit by these per- formances will add to the enjoyment of those who

’ attend.

Give them a bumper house every evening and prove once more that Charlottetown encourages loc- al talent and is always ready to boost charitable un-

dertakings. The Strand Theatre lwill accomodate large audiences but it will be well to secure tickets

in advance.

The political axe is still swinging merrily. For some months past its activities have been confined largely to Road Masters who had received their com- mission from the late government. So far as we can learn the former Road Masters, efficient and eneifi- cient, have become an extinct species and their places are now filled by a new generation, also efficient and inefficient if we are to judge by the reports from

He was-contin- uailly attacking, exposing and iii- giiltliigfWheii he was chastised for his articles he faithfully reported the encounters, which must have been painful to him. He had no respect for the editorial page, and was just as well pleased if in the hurry of gelling the paper to press the page containing the editorials was left out. _'l‘he result WilS that for many years the editorials oi the Herald were indescribubly lerhle. indeed ii is only in. the past ilflcen yeilrs Di‘ so that they have been worthy ol‘ an important ll('\l'bpilili‘l'.lllll us a newspaper ihc Herald was great, and even today it has the most shipping news oi’ uny American paper.

The Famous Herald

The New York Herald is one oi the most remarkable of American newspapers. ‘The s-tory of its foun- ding and career is a romance. it was established by James Gordon Bennett, an American of Scottish. French descent, eighty-five years ago. in its early issues it was a four-pogo impel", smaller than u handkerchief. and ‘was written al- most entirely by the proprietor. it sold for a cont but such was Ben- nett's amazing industry and sense of news that after five years it wus netting the proprietor 3199-000 il year.
