The Day's Gossip.! I Leadr Office. Friday. I Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turning his pen I for the nonce from spiritualism to tne <s¡1iritlng o4 prices, urges that <tome a,t- zeiupt &uouid be iaade to nx, within eia&Mc limits, what is to be regarded as a rea- Bunabie omrgin t)i proin, and to al",e it a penal oiÏtmce to takc- more than that mar- glu. thereupon LLo i'imes comments tuat. we all know a prohteer when we see inm, as WM know a he.ap of sand when we see one; but to dohne a prohteer ior the purpuses ad: a cnmina-i prosecution is notorioutily as diihcult as to say how many grains oi sand it takes to make a heap. Control and, if necessary, its extension should help to draw the stmg and re- move the social soreness caused by'present conditions; and if the Consumers-' Coun- cil could be made more representative and more active, it might still further miti- gate the anarchy of high prices which moves Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and many !noro to just indignation. tn Other Days. I They had sterner ways of dealing with the profiteers 'n olden days. In the time of the Th'rd Henry a statute waf passed: Especiallv be it commanded on the part of our Lord the King that no forestailer be suu'ert'd to dweK in any town-a man who ijp openly a.n opprpe&o.r of the poor, and the public enemy of the whole com- munity and country; a man, who, eeelt- ing hie own evil gain, appre.6ing the poor a-nd deceiving the rich, goes to m0t coT1f. n&h. herring's, or other ardcleo for sale as they are being brought by land or water, carries them off and contrives that they should b? sold at a dearer rate. tie that ie COll\riC' thereof the 6r&t time, shall be amerced and lose the things ao bought aitd that according to the custom and ordinance of the town; he that is convict the second t'nM 6h&:1 have judg- ment of the pillory; at the thjrd time he shall be imprisoned and ma.ke fine; the fourth timt. hi, shall abj ure the tmvn." ffonly we could deal with our forestaJIers l in aoTne such way! The tnto!erant Dean. I cannot recall, without reference, who ts the present De-an of St. David's, but at any rate he lacks the tolerance of many of his clerical brethren in the diocese. In CODvoocatioD <xf Canterbury on Wednes- day, upon a proposat that a large com- mittee should consider the question of greater unity with Nonconformist in fellowship and worship, consistent with Catholic ordeT." the ÐP.an put forward a s,iigge,tion that the v.'ords to &nd worohip shouJd be omitted. Ha-ppily Convocation was <<f another mind. and the worda re- mam. On the whole, the dftate provides unpleasant reading for a Nonconformist, although he must recognise with profound thanMulnesa that the Church generally Is Ttoving towards alooer unity with the other deno-nMnatione. The Archdeacon of .ow. for inntance, said that" 't wM the crude placing of Christianity before the worM by Nonconformity tihat had led to the a/Ht-nation of ppople from 0b riiSt i- a.nity." Canon Burraiizlis said he listen^d with ",hame to the Archdeacon's worde. The &hnmp, I 51ioiild think, is upon the Archdeacon, who thus dismisses the greo-t prophets and <:dho!nrs of No-nco-nforcuty.

I- -.? 1 nope Swansea is to be included in the campaign just to be opened by the United Kingdom Alliance to secure prohibition. As far as I can see. State Purchase, with its quidk promise of breaking the en- trenched liquor interest, is not for the time a practicable proposition. The beer lorda were never so dehant, and appar*! eutly so safe. Let us see whether public opinion can be quickened upon thia .great question of national .sobriety. Can we compete industrially with a dry America? Are we so enamoured of our pints that we are willing to put up (I trade" interference in politics? The acceptance of Prohibition, we are told by one publicist, lies in tji€ hands of the people genera My; and the public mind, when it has in the past expressed itself upon licensing questions, has certainly given no indication that it is inclined to support the crusade which is to be eet on foot in the autumn." Quite right; but may not the public mind be i. Buenced by common-cenre campaigning? The Prohibitionists have a mighty task before them, hut surely not a bopeleee one. considering the example of the outej Americans 1 J
