ENGLISH PRESS ON DECLINE
Sir Frank Newnes Says Papers
Are Too Conservative.

Tho power of the press in England is on
the decline, according TO Sir Frank Newnes.
head of the publishing house Of George
Nernes. Limited Sir Frank was guest
al a luncheon given yesterday ot the Press
Club TO a score or moro magazine pub
fishers of this city
After Sir Frank had spoken briefly, Rob
ert I. johnson. editor Of The Century,
with a certain solemnty. hinted that Sir
franks visit TO America might possibly be
linked with political events-the annexa-
ton Of the United States to Canada, or
something Of that sort.
What did Mr.. Johnson mean" inquired
Sir Frank very earnestly Of the reporters
who gathered about him ~ the close Of the
luncEe on. He must have been facetious
bl his remarks. I'm sure. I'm here purely
on business and am quite ignorant Of an
rexation."
DO your periodicals have much political
Influence hcre?' he asked later in the inter
view. When told that Influence OF that sort
had been attributed TO them in the discus.
sion over postal rates, Sir Frank said that
England produced little ar none Of tho
! "muckrsking' class Of magazines.
Our libel laws are SO strict. YOU know.
Mercy. Emulation of certain American
types would mean ten writs served the next
mcrning. No. | don't believe that our
periodicals are tending toward muckrak-
| ing But notice vast difference in your
daily press and the English press. The
rover o. the English press is waning. 1t
Is much TOO conservative. In spite OF the
fact that the Conservative papers outnum.
her the Liberals ten 10 one, the conserva-
tive party has lost IN the last three elcc-
tons. We have the tendency 10 discuss
political questions ~ great length in 'srgu-
mentativo' editorials. while notice that
your American papers give up that space
TO the news. Scotland. with ten repre-
sentatives in Parliament. is Liberal, With
only two Liberal papers-a good example
OF the fault OF Our press; il is quite too
conservative, you see

II "a understood that the Governor point.
cd out 10 them that the bill which Mr..
Gersn had introduced had been objected
TO by those who opposed it only upon
grounds which went 20 the validity and
officscy Of the whole matter. He nlaintained
that II Tas absolutely necessary, In order
tc keep faith with the voters OF the state
and with public opinion, that the bill should
substitute for the existing method OF select

te much nearer approach TO what was
impartial end open and without taint Of
machine mana cement, and that the other
essential feature was that the ballots should

tsve an opportunity 10 select individuals
rather than tickets, and so be In position
to demand and expect of every political or
