The editor-in-chief of the Free Press, Brandt Butler, was a standard Englishman, and before coming to Johannesburg, Brandt Butler worked for the Daily Chronicle on British soil.

After the Boer War, Brandt Butler came to Johannesburg and founded a newspaper called The Johannesburger in Johannesburg, imitating the Daily Chronicle.

The situation in Johannesburg is completely different from that in the UK, because most people in Johannesburg are Chinese, they are not proficient enough in spoken English, and few people can understand the newspaper, so the "Johannesburger" founded by Brant Butler could not be sold at all, and it ended hastily after only five issues after its inception, and then Brant Butler was favored by Owen and became the editor-in-chief of "The Free Press".

To be sure, as editor-in-chief, Brandt Butler's job was qualified, regardless of the business situation, and under his leadership, the newspaper grew in sales and became the largest newspaper in the Transvaal, and was read even in Cape Town.

Of course, like all media professionals of this era, Brandt Butler was a strong supporter of liberalism, so when William Temple handed over the article to Brandt Butler, Brandt Butler did not hesitate to publish the article in the newspaper of the Free Press.

From the Free Press's point of view, Brandt Butler did succeed.

William Temple's article successfully attracted the attention of the whole society, and the law enforcement standards of the police department became the focus of heated discussions in the whole society, after William Temple's article was published, naturally some people stood up and published articles in the newspaper to defend the police department, Brent Butler welcomed this level of communication, so he did not refuse all contributions, William Temple published a number of articles in the "Free Press" in a row to continue to attack the law enforcement level of the police department, and successfully debated the original only in the newspaper. Becoming a hot topic of national discussion, the influence of the "Free Press" rose to a new level in the process, sales continued to rise, and everything looked good.

What Brandt Butler didn't expect was that as the heat grew, what was originally just a debate about the strength of police enforcement gradually began to discuss whether there was discrimination against whites in Johannesburg, and this tendency finally frightened Brandt Butler.

Everyone knows that the chief of the Johannesburg Police Department is the rising Baron Nyasaland, who has a bad relationship with the leader of the Liberal Party, Owen, the soon-to-be-mayor, Baron Matilda's son-in-law, and another member of the Matilda family, Baron Favart, who is now a topic that cannot be avoided, and which Brant Butler never wants to see.

The newspaper office of the Free Press is located in a two-story building next to the Liberal Party headquarters, which houses the offices of the newspaper's editors, and the courtyard behind the building contains the printing press, the warehouse, and the dormitories for the printing workers, and Brent Butler's office is in the leftmost room on the second floor.

In the past, after Brant Butler came to the office, he always had to take a look at a few pots of thistles and daffodils on the office balcony first, watering them, loosening the soil or something, in the past two days, Brant Butler obviously relaxed his care for thistles and daffodils, and the daffodils were a little wilted, but Brant Butler did not notice.

"Editor-in-chief, this is an article that Tempel has just sent in, and I hope it will be published in tomorrow's newspaper." As soon as Brandt Butler arrived at the office, the editor, Derek, hurriedly came to Brat Butler with a manuscript.

For Roque, a member of the Board of Education is nothing, but for the editor of the "Free Press", a member of the Board of Education is still very weighty, Johannesburg does not have a press committee, and all institutions related to culture are strictly subordinate bodies of the Board of Education, so William Temple's article can be published in the "Free Press" word for word.

Of course, the situation of "Free Press" is different from other newspapers, because of its relationship with the Liberal Party, if Brent Butler does not allow William Temple's article to appear in "Free Press", William Temple will not be able to take "Free Press".

"Do you still evaluate the police department? Let's put it here, we can't publish anything like this anymore, the situation is out of control now, and we can't be part of it anymore. "Brandt Butler's mind is still very clear, ordinary people may not know that Ade called Roque to Pretoria and scolded him, Brandt Butler must know.

In fact, after Owen reminded Roque, there was no article related to the police department's law enforcement standards in the "Free Press", Owen did not understand the newspaper well enough, and Brent Butler, as a media practitioner, certainly knew the truth about the so-called "free speech".

"No, this is not an article commenting on the strength of the police department's law enforcement, but an article about public schools." Derek had obviously read the article, and his brow furrowed a little.

"Ziwei School? I think our Mr. Temple is going crazy! "When Brant Butler heard that the article sent by William Temple was related to Ziwei School, he was not even in the mood to read it.

"It's not Ziwei Public School, it's a public school." Derek frowned, his children went to public schools, and of course he knew the disadvantages of public schools, but this problem was obviously not solved by one or two articles.

After the end of the Boer War, the British government began to promote British education in the Transvaal and Orange, where British education was strongly resisted by the Boers.

In Johannesburg, British education has not been resisted because of Ziwei College, but the vast majority of Johannesburgers are not interested in other schools outside Ziwei College, so this is the biggest dilemma of the Johannesburg education industry.

Douglas is the chairman of the Board of Education, but William Temple is the specific person in charge of public schools, so Brant Butler can understand why William Temple targeted public schools, the influence of Ziwei School is too great, and the Governor's Office and the municipal government have given special funds to Ziwei School many times, which has also seriously affected the development of Johannesburg Public School, which is what William Temple is really worried about.

Sure enough, it seems that William Temple did not mention Ziwei Public School at all in the article, only introduced the current situation of public schools, and expressed some concern about the future of public education, but between the lines, it is all insinuated that it is precisely because of the existence of Ziwei Public School that the development of public schools is affected.

"This guy is crazy, he wants us to bury him" Brandt Butler tore the article in his hand to shreds and threw it into the trash basket next to the table.

Derek finally breathed a sigh of relief, and fortunately Brant Butler didn't go crazy with William Temple.

"Adjust the content of the newspaper, the recent newspapers, there can be no more articles related to the government, more lace news of the local aristocracy, or report on the reconstruction of Orange, in short, we must now get rid of suspicion." Brandt Butler adjusted in time that all Roque-related news could not appear in the newspapers.

"Mr. Matilda told you to see him in an hour," Derek continued, referring to Owen, not Philip.

"Well, I know," Brant Butler muttered, feeling a sudden bad feeling in his heart.

Go downstairs and turn left a hundred meters to see the headquarters of the Liberal Party.

Brant Butler suddenly felt that he was dizzy, the headquarters of the Liberal Party is so close to the "Free Press", it can be said that the "Free Press" is under the nose of the Liberal Party, so where did Brant Butler have the courage to publish William Temple's article in the newspaper some time ago?

In Irving's office, Brant Butler unexpectedly meets Roque, who is dressed in a military uniform.

"Good morning, Lord." Brant Butler offered to say hello to Roque.

"It's not good at all, editor-in-chief, you're causing me a big problem" Roque's expression was not angry, and he was inwardly assessing the value of Brant Butler.

That's right, it's value.

Although Roque suggested that Irving replace Brant Butler, Owen still has a lot of trust in Brant Butler's ability, as for the mistake some time ago, Owen would rather believe that Brant Butler was unaware for a while, so Owen directly called Brant Butler over, hoping that Roque could give Brant Butler a chance.

In Johannesburg, there is no one better suited to be the editor-in-chief of the Free Press than Brandt Butler, after all, this is not London, and it is not easy to find a qualified newspaper director.

Roque does not think so, "Liberty", as the party newspaper of the Liberal Party, has her particularity, and there is no need to struggle to survive like other newspapers, what Roque needs is not a capable newspaper editor-in-chief, but an obedient, if not so capable editor-in-chief

The main thing is obedience.

"I'm so sorry Lord, I didn't realize that it was my mistake to cause such a big trouble, and I am willing to bear all the consequences caused by this." Brandt Butler's attitude is quite sincere.

"Commitment? Can you afford it? Roark was unceremonious, and Brant Butler was taken aback.

"William Temple just sent me another article about public schools, and this time I didn't make a mistake." Brant Butler worked hard, even if it seemed too late.

"Hehe, our commissioner finally knows how to do something serious," Roque scoffed, and William Temple was dead.
