SIR JOHN LE SAGE
SIXTY YEARS' WORK IN FLEET, STREET

Laly Astor, nian, was able to get her Bill through to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquor to young per sons under the age of eighteen, though the Government in the end gave her facilities for her legislative effort. It is all to the good that the private Member has been able to do these things, because, nx the Times aptly says, "the greater the prestige of the private Member the more widely will the beneficent power of Parlia ment be appreciated in the constituen cies,"

Sixty years ago Le Sage joined the reporting stuff of the illy Telegraph, CALULTTA LINH -- This Line afforda regular mitings Calenta Fonans and.. which soon became the pioneer of the peauy daily paper. His memories of the Amery
Civil War, the Crines, and the Mutiny, the Second French Empire, the rise of the middle classes, Palmerston and Lows and Gladstone, the Tichbornú SHANGHAI claimant in the dock, Paris in the throes of the Cupmune, Stanley's journey acros Africa, Gordon at Khartum, and much else form almost an epitome of the Vie torian Ag Forty years ago he was editor, in command of a brilliant staff which included such men as Edwin Arnold, G. A. Sala, Joseph Bennett,
Lawley, Kingston, Clement Scott, and Greenwood. The Great War seemed to give him a new lease of life and energy, and his services to his country in the struggle, as well as his paat distinction as working journalist, brought him the hour of Eighthood in June, 1915. Hy is now 56, and he takes with him into his well-earned retirement the hearty esteem and admiration of the profesion which he has so long udorned.

NEWSPAPERS AND DIVORCE.
The report of the Select Committee on the Bill to regulate reports of divorce cases or similar proceedings is in favour of lintitating what may be printed in the newspapers to the names, addresses, and descriptions of the parties and witnesses, the formal" pleadings" on both sides. points of law, and the Court's decision upon them, the judge's summing up, and the jury's findings. The maximum penal- ty proposed for a breath of the proposed law is £500. On the whole, the Com mitteo have given their report in favour of rather more publicity than was origin. ally proposed when the Hill left the House. The first intention was to allow publication only, of the names and ad- dresses and the result. The judge's sum- ming up was ruled out.
- Gonerally speaking, newspaper" cou ments on the limitation of divorce reports are in agreement with the new departure. The need for curtailment has long been obvious. There are papers which live on the publication of what may be called the indecencies of the Divorce Court. They omit no details. A cynic' discussing the faibles and weaknesses of human nature would have something to say on the fact that a vast public revels in garbage. There is a certain Surday paper which nakes a special feature of reporting at length everything in the Courts all over the country which contains a story of a lapse from the moral code, and it has circulation of over two million copies per issue.
MESSAGE FROM THE KING.
Sir John Le Sage has received the following message from the King, through his Majesty's Private Secretary, Lord Stamforlham:---

Reference to newspapers suggests the note that this week The Clarim will be published for the last time. It was start- od in 1801 by Mr. Robert Blatchford when he left the Sunday Chronicle at Manches ter, and with the assistance of his friends, Mr. A. H. Thompson (who, wrote under the pen name of “ Dangle,”) and Mr. Edward Fay ("the Bounder), gave the world the pure gospel of Socialism in an intensely human and a very delightfül literary form. The 1 Kutup was read for" its wit and humour by people who de tested its policy.. "It is hardly saying too much to say of the Clarin that it was more responsible than any other single agency for the present vogic of Socialism and the strength of the Labour party. But for the last ten years the paper has failed to pay expenses; and now, as Mr. Blatchford puts it in a valedictory article; "We have had to-heist the signat *Abandon, ship.'.”—1.B.
