CHATS ON NEWS- PAPER HISTORY. 0 4. The Modern Paper with Big Tradition. "JJBOM the smoky dawn of J? the IcJth century when die Age of Machinery was ushered in until tilis present hour, the Liverpool °' Courier Jaaa faithfully registered, and conspicuously participated in, the deve opment. of the rising fortunes of the old town of Liverpool unti, to-day its coun- cils and its politics are para- -owunt in the Second City of the Empire. For over a century aDd a decade its edtor.al chans have bean occuped by picked aea of brilliant abilitv. They expounded a cause and a. set of principles. But they have always been, in fundamentals, the same cause and the same TVip Torv naner W. E. G adstone wrote letters to when a loeng Conservative k now among the most powerful journalistic directors of Conservative opinion in the Kingdom. Its policy has been identified with the rise and progress of Liver- pool. It has outivted all its old rivals. It constitutes to-day a live testimony te the triumph and winning power of its advocacy of great cause r The romance of the Courier's" evolution from the "folio of four pages" printed on a kittle hand machine in the Liverpool of George HI a time to the giaaift sheet that issues long before sunrise from the huge building in Liver- pool's Fleet-stre-t. re-e ems, indeed, a w nder- fol triumph of human energy and enterprise staring the reign of six monarchs. If the ghost of its first. editor and founder could visit the "Courier's" spacious modern home he would infallibly be amazed at the present power and Magnitude of the journal whose foundations he iùI. Despite that progressive outlook which old Thomaa Kaye always embodied in his paper would be bewildered at the ramifications of a great newspaper-house where everything had Changed, and where nothing was recognizable-- accept perhaps the purpose of the carrier logeons lofted in the "Courier's" tower. and the enduring political policy guided and shaped in the Editorial rooms. To the man who sat an the Editor's chair wbtm the speediest Charier took 30 hours to come by road from Loodoa, the big room of numbered tecphona boxes, the busy telegraphists clicking out the news from London over private wires; the electrically worked pneumatic tube which enables the G.P.O. in Liverpool to transmit the "Courier's" despatches under- ground in a couple of seconds -all these sights would be astonishing to him as tlio ceaseless incoming of news through day and night by tralp, post, and telegraphs, ocean cables, marconigraphs and tape-machines, or as disturbing as the mighty engines whose roar scarcely ceases with the dawn. But one glance at the finished p.-oduct of all the feverish activity these sights imply would assure our ghost of the maintenance of those high traditions of independent, fearless journal- ism which old Thomas Kayo could understand and applaud equally with his great successors in the direct line—Charles Tinling and Sir John Wiliox. The famous daily Diplomatic Letter from Paris, presenting ski'led analyses of the hourly trend of world politics, the Labour articles penned by a Labour M.P., voicing the news of the opposite camp (the "Courier" has never made the mistake of underestimating its opponents case); the incisive leaders bearing on thesrf problems, home and foreign; the brilliant criticisms of war-governance and of military affairs by Sir George Aston, K.C.B., so often quoted abroad; the special motoring article; the sports co umn contributed to by an expert once a week; the literary page written in the modern tradition deriving from such well-known literateurs as Lascelles Abercrombie and the late Dixon Scott; are all features which have contributed to the famo and sue- cess of one of the best edited newspapers in the country with a news service second to none The Liverpool "Courier" has been read and quoted by generations of Liverpoiitans. The influence that was once local has become a national force. To understand the secret ot its triumph over its competitors is part of the liberal education its pages provide.

PRICE OF MILK.—At a meeting of Aber- ystwyth and District Milk Sellers' Association, on Monday, it was decided, on account of the high cost. of production, to advance the retail price of milk for the next four months to lOd. per quart, from the 1st of December to the 31st of March inclusive, in the urban and rural districts of Abervstwvth. It was further agreed,' with regard to the wholesale prices, to fo low the Government's rate proportionately— 8Jd. when delivered to the retailer's premises, and 7fd. if fetched from the producer's yard. FREE CHURCH COUNCIL.—The Free Church Council met in the Eng'ish Congrega- tional Church on Friday, Mr. John Morgan, Trinity-place, presiding. An Emergency Com- mittee was appointed to arrange a public meeting on social questions and gambling.— The Rev R. J. Rees said he was told that beys were betting on the chance of a certain ball being hit in a game of billiards. He a'so heard that footba.L, to which lie had no objec- tion, was contaminated by this evil and every Saturday night results were expected, not for the sake of knowing which team had won, but for the sake of the money put on the game. —another committee was appointed to arrange for a mee'.ing in aid of St. Dunstan's Hostel.— A resolution was read from Salem Chapel con- demning the proposal to issue premium bonds and lotteries.—Prof. Levi proposed that the following resolution should be sent to the Prime Minister and Chance lor of the Ex- chequer "THat we enter our strong protest against premium bonds or any other method of ra sing money for the State by methods of gambling which would unfailingly lower both ihe high credit and mora standard of Great Britain in financial administration." These bonds would be an appeal to worst pas- sions of the working classes, and would de- moralise and not up ift them. It would be no use having laws against gambling if they adopied tuese premium bonds. These bonds also, it was estimated, would not bring in more than £ 100,0C0,000, and as an ate: native the Government could raise £ 500,000,COO with the greatest ease by puLting the excels profits tax back to its full amount.Mr. Thomas Thomas seconded and Messrs S. G. Rudler and T. W. Powell supporting, the proposition was carried.—Professor Levi was appointed to the conference of the Wesh Federation.—The Secretary (Rev. John Davies) submitted resohi. tions from the West Wales Council on Sunday observan etc., which were sent to Emergency Committee to deal with.—At the suggestion of the Rev. R. J. Rees, the Emergency Com- mittee was a'so asked to consider approaching the Education Authority to get hygiene, tem- perance-, and Bible study included in the cur- riculum of the evening schools.—It was decided to ask the Ministers' Fraternal to arrange for an interchange of pu pits.—Mr T. Thomas was re-appointed to take charge of the services at the Worklionse WELSH SOCIETY.—The opening meeting of the Welsh Society was heid aft the Town Hall on Monday evening, when a lecture was given by Professor Gwynn Jones, M.A., on ''Libera. ture and Life." The Mayor (Professor Edward Edwards, M.A.,) presided. In the course of his address, the Lecturer said the nineteenth century tendency to talk of literature and life. with what amounted to an affectation of; Kuperio- knowledge of botih was due to the influence of a class of writers whose idea of criticism was to juggle with certain fashion- able terms. "Life" was the term used when any "Lterature" dealing with the more evil or sordid aspects of human existence had to be defended or excused. In all lives there must bo things unpleasant and evil and a j literary treatment which reogniscd. one aspect j of lile only must be regarded as inadequate, t if not misleading. Yet, if Matthew Arnold were rigM in detfinincr poetry as "a criticism of life" it must be admitted that the value of such work must reside, not so much in the Echiev- ment itself as in the object in view. Litera- turo, so regarded, must include all expression of the habits, circumstances, and experiences •o-i men, and there was no definable social or other line distinguishing between that which was ''Literature" and that wirch was not. Any degree of success or faiVure was a matter of crrft, in the last analysis, of mere taste. Reading, which had beccme a necessity for masses of people, was frequently practised at the expense of observation. There was read- ing which was merely, as in the case of children, due to the' absence of opportunity for actnn. Among older pen pie there was a kind of snobocracy whose reading .was deter, mined by fashion, and yet 2Illtiher class whose sentiments and efforts were directed to the solution of the difficulties of more or less imaginary problems in b"oks. 8:1me men, mostly of the scientific class, s-metimes prided themselves on having no interest in literature at all, as dealing with tihe spiritual side of life. If that srmewhat incomprehensible, attitude could be explained to mean preference for actual observation of life, if. could partly be defended, but the limitation of opportnnitv in most cases must be allowed fio he against the absolute choice. Literature a1 o-ne, for the mass of men, could supply a tolerably acurate appreciation of the working of the human mind in other countries.

Captain David James, who has been chairman for the past ten or twelve years and given much time to and taken great interest in the institution, expressed a desire that another member should be elected to the chair. The Committee proposed Captain James's re-elec- tion, but he firmly dec ined, and proposed Alderman Daniel Thomas as chairman which was eventually agreed to unanimously. It was agreed to allocate a sum of money for the purchase of additional books for the Library. The Librarian reported that in the past twelve 'months over 600 new borrowers' tickets had been taken out and that for the month of October 2,000 books had been issued. He re- ferred to the difficulty of getting overdue books returned, to the loss of books each month through the giving of incorrect ticket num- bers, to the unfortunate necessity of requiring the production of all tickets when taking out books to ensure their return and to certain difficulties that had occurred in consequence. The Librarian was congratulated on the pro- gress of the Library during the past twelve months and was authorised not to issue books to persons who refuse to produce tickets or otherwise will not observe the ru es and regu- lations.

SPECIAL COURT.—At a special Court on Friday before the Mayor (Professor Edward Edwards, M.A.), T. J. Samuel, Griffith Jones,- Daniel Thomas, Esqrs.? John Williams, Cam- berweli' New-road, London, was summoned for having consumed beer at the Prince Albert Hotel in contravention of the Act; Joseph Martin, licensee of the Prince Albert, for hav- ing allowed beer to be consumed; and Eliza- beth Martin for aiding and abetting. Mr. W. P. Owen defended.—P.S. Thomas Davies said he visited the Prince A'bert Hotel at 5.20 on November 17th. In the bar he saw six or I seven persons. Behind the door on the left he saw John Williams, who was boding a glass of beer in his right hand and was in the act of raising it to his lips. When he 8aw the police he immediately put the glass down on the counter. It then three parts full of beer and there was a lif'tle froth on it. Wit- > ness \iurned, pointed to the glass of beer^ and said: I saw that glass in your hand when I came in." Defendant Williams made-no rply: He also called the attention of Mrs. Marti vife of the licensee" who was on the other side of the counter and asked her how she accounted for the glass of beer. She looked at him, but did not reply. He took hold of the glass and smelt the contents. On the way out 1 he saw Mr. Joseph Martin who was working in the yard and told him that, he had seen a person drinking beer in his house.

He had always conducted his houses in a respectable manner.—Mr W. P. Owen said he could not deny that the beer had been served, but he thought that the order to com- pel licensed < housekeepers from selling beer in any prohibited hours was out of date as in his opinion the order was made during the war for war purposes. He hoped tthe defendants, view of their character, would be leniently dealt witV.—John WiH:ams was fined d. Joseph Martin £1, and Mrs. Martin 10s.—Wm.

It was his business also to mk" entries in the bread book to whom he had delivered the bread and if the persons had paid.

No Peeresses to sit in Lords. COMMONS' AMENDMENT DROPPED. In the House of Commons on Wednesday the Sex Disqualification Removal Bill, which had been dealt with by both Houses was consid- ered. The Lords rejected an amendment in- serted by the Commons providing that a per- son sha,'l net be disqualified by sex or marriage from sititing or vcting in the House -of Lords. The Solicitor-General (Sir E. Pollock) adviser! the House to conour in the rejection of the amendment, pointing out that it could only affect nine ladies. The House had shown in the previous division that it considered it ua. wise to deal with the roconstituticn of the House -of Lords in a piecemeal fashion. The Bill had been amplified, and, in his opinion, gave a complete measure of relief on the question of sex. It would really be disastrous, having got the Bill so far, if they engaged in a controversy with the other House whidh might imperil the measure. The House, without dissent, agreed not to insist on the amendment.

Mr. Asquith has received indilrect overtures to again contest East Fife I in the event of an early general election, but 1 it is understood that he has no intention of doing so. i
