DOMAIN AFFAIRS

[To the Editor.] Sir, —I notice you have been deluged with correspondence lately concerning one thing and another; but special prominence appears to be given to the Tourist De-partment-Michael case. Now, sir. the whole thing appears to be a storm in a tea-cup, for too much is being made out of it. Perhaps your correspondent, or the principal one, thinks he will be able to frighten Dr. Kenny into re-instating Miss Michael, like he scared him into putting that labourer back again. Had the Doctor asserted himself in the first case and not given way to petty outside feeling, the whole thing would have blown over long ago. Anyhow, I for one, fail to see why one family should run the whole show. Here we have a daughter selling the tickets and her mother collecting them at the bath-house. Is this right ? It is simply tempting people to be dishonest. Ido not think it wise to have too many of one family in any business, —I am, etc.,

Sentinel.
