Great Deeds Of the Times.

In these days of strenuous journal
ism IL IS refreshing to recall some OF
the great deeds Of the Times. and 10
remember that they were allowed to
speak for themselves. It organized
the historic campaign against the corn
laws. and put victory into the hands
Of Richard Golden; it crippled the
French republic in 1s4s and aroused
England against the situation so that
more than 10000 volunteer constables
were enrolled against the Cbartists;
it preached a crusade against Russia,
and even vixen the Crimea was In
vaded it indicted the generalsbip Of
the British commander-in-chief and
compelled the prime minister. Lord
Aberdeen. to resign his Office. From
the time of the Duke OF Wellington
TO Lord Wolseley, its worldwide
corps OF correspondents has pene-
trated into the secrets Of camp and
court alike All this has meant the
employment OF frst-rate talent and
the expenditure OF vast sums OF
money.
There is a marble tablet set over
one Of the doorways in Printing House
Square as a memorial OF a great event
in the history of the Times. Upon this
stone is carved the story of how the
paper in 1910. at enormous risk and
expense. exposed gigantic frauds and
saved millions to the merchants OF
London. The cost Of this work was
so great that a large fund was sub
scribed 10 reimburse the Times: but
Mr. Walter insisted that the money
should be used to found scholarships
connected with oxford. Cambridge,
and Christ's Hospital The tablet in
Printing House Square was put there
by the grateful commercial cOmmun-
ity and another tablet was placed in
the Royal Exchange.
