Loll '1-Iewait "of Bury Says
Press is Monster Work-
izlg Mischief"
PREMIER REPLY'S
Toronto,—At a luncheon held iii
honor of the visitors to the Canadian
Bar Association, Lord lieviart, with
scathing wit and 1 nie k en crony,
ticcusod; flip Press of nearly every-
thing that, was reprehensible.
'MONSTER, WORKING MISCHIEF.
Ile Metered the printing machine
as a monster workings mischief not
only in the realm of donilethic relay
tions, but also in international affair:.
Most of his Lordship's ddsc,ourse was
curetted against,tlie alleged deficien-
eles of the press— its tendency to
' standardize thought and elinimate hu-
man individuality. He admitted that
he hoped to retuin'to Canada and on
1111S return he said, with a subtlety
that evoked roars of, laughter from
his hearers, he would say something
on the good side of newspapers and
in the meantime :would endeavor to
find out what that "good side" was. '
SEES DANGEROUS POWER:
A brilliant piece of imagery was
achieved. by his Lordship in. vasualite-
ing the mechanical peefeetion in the
producti;vn of ,a modern...newspaper.
IIo referred to -aim spotless ';vvlute roils
of newspaper that went into the print-
ing
rint-ing presses and came out "like snow-
flakes soiled with fog." He referred
to the fact that any -Pelson, no mat-
ter what his natural capabilities,
coup; 'acquire a printing press and
give hid prejudices and caprices wide
effect, Such a newspaper proprietor,
Ise said, could not only devastate pile
nate lives by means of his instrument,
but could -work untold' mischief in. the
field of international affairs.
PREMIER ,MAKES DEFENCE.
In response, Premier Ferguson said
that while endorsing the vote of

own obituary as a public figure, pre-

ception. Some newspapers here-
abouts, he added, were given to "ante-,

But the intelligent portion of the
popitiatibn paid little 'attention to
them. Of the Lord Chief Justice's

To Mail Letter
Nantucket Shoals Light Keep
er Puts One On
It appears that the skipper of the
Nantucket Shoals Dightship had writ-
ten at letter—a very important letter -
which simply had to reach the Bureau
of, Lighthouse Servtoe within two
days. It appears;al'so that the skipper
is a very conscientious; chap, to whom
the thought of the latter reaching the
bureau 'later than it should .was un-
bearable.
nBearable.
And so the akipped,out on his lonely.
post, hit upon a scheme, a decidedly
/excellent fire. ,
The•White Star liner Balltic plowed
through the seas toward New York
recently' with 558 passengers abroad.
A wireless message was received by
Capt. F. P Summers' commander of
the vessel. • It requested him to°step
and pick up an extremely" important
latter at the lightship.
'Hen, probably a matter of life and
death_," Said the captain as he scanned
the 'message. As the liner neared
Nantucket Shoals, going several milds
out -of her course, ahs ,slowed down
and flnally'tont to a, stop: Those
Who lined the rail,• saw' a little boat

Ward the main in the boat put hie
hands to his mouth in megaphone

"It is my monthly 'report," he yelled.
"Got. only tow days to get into the,

As -Capt. Summers gazed clown a
smile' gradually forced its way to -lids
face.
"All right," he yelled: "I'll see that
it's mailed in New York."
The big liner headed again for New
York and a few minute after it had
docked rho captain, :gee to his word,
; saw to it that the letter ways mailed
at a box near the pier, foot of West
Eighteenth Street,

Ithat he had violated no regulations,

that his monthly report will be on
