There have of late been several important changes in tho editorial management of some of the principal London dailies, consequent on change of ownership. Mr Fabian Ware has resigned the editorship of the ' Morning Post,' to which he was appointed six years ago by the late Lord Glenesk, win induced him to vacate his post of Director of Education in the Transvaal to take up journalistic work. During the six years that Mr Ware controlled the editorial columns of the ' Morning Post' it became an educational power in the land, and it was "especially distinguished in politics, both Imperial and domestic, by reason of its fearless independence," while it was conspicuous for its fairness, and on the question of social reform it showed " a sympathy and openness of mind almost unique in Conservative journalism." When Mr J). DaLziel, Liberal M.l\ for Brixton, bought out Mr Pearson's controlling interest in the ' Standard,' it was predicted that Mr H A. Gwynne would not long retain the editorial chair, and that prediction has been verified. Mr Gwynne, who had a most distinguished career as war correspondent and as Keuter's special commissioner in South Africa, became editor in 1904, when Mr Pearson secured control of the ' Standard,' and soon made a potential force in Conservative journalism.
