The Making of a Newspaper WAS the subject of a lecture delivered on October 17th at South Kensington by Mr. Wickham Steed, editor of the Time, to A gathering of students who are studying for the University of London diploma in journalism. The chait was occupied by the Vice-Chancellor, Sir Sydney Russell. Welle.

Mr. Wickham Steed said that few journalists had any illusions about the power of the Press. They know the weak ness of the Press; sometimes they knew its strength. Very few could tell before hand what would be the effect of anything in print. Yet the power of the Press

EDINBURon, October 19th. Scotland's premier foursome golf tourna mans for the Evening Times trophy was won by Carnvestie after a final with New Club, St. Andrews. The Forfarshire folks have long wooed success in this popular event, and have found it hard to win. Once or twice at St. Andrews last week it was touch-and-go with them, but they are not easily removed, and having reach ed the final for the first time in 17 years they made no mistake about seeing the Mr. J.

Various intereste sought to undermine THE LEAGUE TO DATE, the influence of the Press. Dignities and titles were bestowed on eminent scribes. Pressure direct and indirect was put upon them to turn their views in one direc tion rather thad another. Their social ambitions, or the social vanities of their wives, were carefully considered and cherished; they were wheedled, they were fed with tit-bits of exclusive news, they were maligned and denounced in order to induce them to be fake to the public trust.

Few outsiders had any notion of the care, industry, organisation, and thought which was required in the collection of the daily news. Much of it came in auto- matically from efficient agencies, but no paper could live and thrive on that alone. It must have its own trained staff of reporters and correspondents, men and Women, accustomed to see in a clear light and to write tersely and graphically. The journalist must be anewegetter" And here Mr. Steed gave his secret for getting nowa from Anibassadors and by the late Mr W. T. Stead, "Bail bald- Ministers.
