PULLZN Manarlm-gdltCT JOHN REDPATH DOUGALL Sixty-four years the editor of his million-dollar paper which paid him neither salary nor dividend was the record of John Redpath Dougall, M.A., LL.D., of the Montreal Witness, who died in Montreal this, week at the age of 98. Doyen of Canadian Journalism a!nd f or 63 vears editor-in- chief of the Witness, he was the last surviving editor in Canada whose term of service dated back to pre-Confed- eration days. Indeed, in his case, it dated back io 1860, when, fresh from the university, he joined the Montreal Daily Witness, started; in tHat year by his father, John Uou;aIJ, a bcotush-born Montreal mercharit arid fur trad er. UndG. J. R. Dougall, the Moritreal Daily Witness yas nothing less than an effort to be in fact what practically every paper claims to be, an independent journal devoted to the public interest. In an intensely Protectionist arid Conservative city, the Witness espoused free trade 'and liberalism; in a city dominated by brewing and distilling interests, it was a strong temperance and prohibition advocate; in ah area where strong sectarian feeling flourished, it opposed inter-credal barriers between Christians; and in a province overwhelmingly Roman Catholic, it was an upholder of Protestant rights and a defender of complete civil and religious equality. To have all political groups lined up at once in opposition was no uncommon experience for J. R. Dougall and the Witness. What gave John Dougall's editorials their unparalleled moral authority in journalism was the recognition of his fellow-citizens that they were totally disinterested the work of a man whose loss of the sight of his own personal interests hnn eminwon him nfh iinrlimma1 ifM 'Air. .
