NOTABLE EVENT IN WORLD
 JOURNALISM.

Usually it is not important outside of the staff of a newspaper when an editor resigns to be succeeded by one who has been his assistant for many years. Interest in such an event usually is confined to the readers of the newspaper. That is not the case, however, with Charles Prestwich Scott, who has just resigned from the editorship of the Manchester Guardian, which he has held for 57 years and been succeeded by his son. E. T. Scott. It is a subject of comment throughout the world. The Guardian is probably the most popular news paper in the world and most influential It is more than newspaper; it is an institution, and has been one almost from the beginning of its interesting and powerful For many years, almost one might say from the time of his becoming it's editor the Guardian c. P. Scott. His personality dominated it in every department His convictions it's convictions-it never devated hair breadth from what C. P. thought. The paper almost ruined financially because Scott did not believe in the Boer War and the Guardian refused to support it.

The founder of the Guardian remained as editor in For Ina fplir years his Russell Scott Taylor was editor. Then came Jeremiah Garnett, who reigned until 1861 when the second John Edward Taylor brother of Russell and younger son of the first John Edward, became editor and continued until 1872 when he was succeeded by c. P. Scott, another member of the family. When the second John Edward Taylor died in 1905, Scott became sole of the Guard ian well it's editor Garnett, the only Guardian editor who was not Taylor or Scott, began life as printer the Guardian. He quit the me chanical department to become reporter and then editorial writer and editor
 The Manchester Guardian in its long career has been identified with the fight for most of Eng lands greatest reforms.
