LORD ALyERSTON ON PUBLICITY.

Alverstone, who has served as Lord
Chief Justice of England, believes
that the details OF divorce cases
should not be published. lie consid-
ers It absolutely harmful.
. Lord Alyerstone gave his views on
publicity in recent speech delivered
before the SPHINX Club in London.
He believes in publicity as the great
safeguard against great evils. But

of the recent attempt at an awaken

His comment on the Smart Set
publicity should also be distinguish
ed from the news personals OF peo-
pie and social gatherings in the ma
ture of neighborhood news and is a
proper method of disseminating the
pleasant happenings OF life.
Lord Averstonc said he had nc
objection whatever to the fullest
and freest publicity in the press. lie
believed that anyone, in whatever
profession or walk of life, whether 9
politician, lawyer, doctor, engineer
or man of business, II they had &c

be courageous enough to inspect ant
invite criticism, and, provided thai
that criticism was not bitter and ven

would be stronger and more capable
of doing their work.
1t was not publicity in the sense o
discussion or criticism that he dep
recated. On the contrary, he invited

had no objection at all to advertise
ment, but he would venture to sub
nit to them that in three or four
matters the way in which their lives
had to be lived and conducted had
rather called into existence certain
abuses which might properly be de-
scribed as some evils of publicity. He
did consider that the publication and
publicity given to the proceedings of
the Divorce Court was public evil.
lie could quite understand that,
from a business point of view, the
newspapers were obliged to meet the
wishes of their readers, but he would
like to see the leading journals Of
the day make n stand and say, I'VE
will not publish these details"
lie could not imagine anything
worse for public morality than those
terrible details sent down from Glas-
COW. II was a matter of serious con-
sideration by those who were inter-
Csted in the administration of JUS
tice and in the high standard of NOR
al character in England whether
The time had not come when they
ought to put a stop to the publica-
ton of proceedings in the Divorce
Court.
His experience for twelve and q
half years as Attorney General, hav-
ing to do the work of Kings Proc.

knowledge of what could be done in
the Divorce Court and what could be
obtained from its procedure was fal
greater than most people knew. II

Mr.. WOOLLEY and HIS TALK.

Mr. Woolley, the paid agent of the
Anti-Saloon League of this city, said
one thing in his address before the
Ministerial Association that should
strike home to the heart of every
man who rails az the government
and the people while remaining
comfortably at home and allowing
others to 90 the work in politics.
These words are credited to Mr..
Woollay:
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-04-06

He wis not Attaching the press In
any shape or form In this connection,
and he did not refer to public men,
because they must pay for their po-
sition by publicity, but he referred
to those people who seldom thought
of anything but the next entertain
ment they would go to and the next
dress they would wear.
All this had distinct effect upon
the literary side OF life. Who in the
present day would ever write any
correspondence that would be worth
publishing? FIFTY or 100 years ago
the correspondence of people was
very often published aftey death, and
was very interesting. Scarcely one
man in 10000 now wrote private let
ers that would be worth publishing
Why? Because the atmosphere in
which he lived stopped the opportu-
mites OF thought and meditation
which ilourished when we did not
live at the rapid pace we did at preg-
ent.
The present taste seemed to re-
quire people to have scores of maya
zines to read instead of books which
were the outcome of hard, solid work,
extending. perhaps, over many years.
This craving to which he had re-
ferred was little short of disaster,
but he did not blame the newspapers
for making money out of II. What
tivate higher taste among the peo-
pie who could guide and lead
thought and society. Let them be
content with the announcement of
their public acts. When they sat in
court, or preached n sermon. or made
a speech or went TO function, let it
be made public. but when they went
into private life do not let them
wish that the names of those. they
met should be published in the next
days papers, along with the descrip-
tions of the dress they wore and
what they ate.
While he recognized the freedom
of the press, and the desirabil,ty of
dissemination of honest, genuine,
non-malicious announcement, he re-
GREETED that in the present day there
was a craving for publicity by peo-
pie who had done really nothing to
merit notice by the public. All they
desired was to see their names in the
papers He desired to cultivate those
reunions where conversations on in
teresting subjects took place with
absolute freedom, and where ques-
lions of the day were debated in 4
way which would lead to steps being
taken to repress evils or introduce
improvements. Above all, he desired
that our life might not be a hurry
ing race from one thing to another,
with the certainty that what We did
would be announced in some paper
next morning.
He wished to see further opportu-
mites for meditation and thought,
and the production of something
which would not only be of interest
TO those of the present day, but
might leave useful literary mGnu-
ments to those who came afterwards.

This is not true. Mr.. Woclley
knows II. .r r'
The only way In which any man
can force the slightest truth into
that statement is to take the position
that no man is Christian who
thinks for himself and refuses to be
led against his own judgment and
conviction by two or three men dele
eating to themselves the right to de-
fine what Christianity is.
If this were true, then Mr.. Wool
ley himself is not Christian, on &C
count of his having left the Prohibit
ton party.
II this were true the hundreds OF
Christian sons and Christian daugh-
Christians because they live in the
midst of and know the hypocrisy and
failure OF Prohibition, and dare to
stand up and voice their protest
against the iniquity Of 1t.
Mr.. Woolley has changed his mind
on many things since he first started
out.
The cause of temperance has tive
enemies: the dispenser of liquor whit
does not hesitate to debauch thu
young and the weak; and the preach
err or teacher or pleader who base
his preaching or teaching or pleading
on the statement that Christian mel
and women of the country are unite'
in conviction about the liquor traf

Any assertion Of this character !
utterly out of harmony with the re
minder that the way to promote goo
government is to get among the PEG
pie and work with them in spirit q
Christian fellowship.

knows 1t.
