Those who have been watching recent evente in India will not have failed to notice that the mind of the British Government has been greatly exercised of late by the mischief wrought in the Indian Empire by seditious publications; and the Korea Order in Council of 1907 and the stringeat Press Lair recently enacted for India evidence a noteworthy change of attitude on the part of the British Government. In India, the Government has been extremely slow to take effective messares to suppresseditious publications, simply because such prosecu- tions under a comparatively mild law have proved not merely ineffective but they have actually increased the mischief they were intended to suppress. It is declared that an appearance in a police court or a charge of sedition in India was a certain prelude to prosperity. Notoriety sent up the circulation of the newspaper and as sentances were light they constituted
