We offer our most sincere and hearty congratulations to the

Morning Post, which on Wednesday entered upon its one hundred and fiftieth year. The Morning Post was founded in 1772. Having started in the reign of George III., it is still going very strong in the reign of George V. We suppose that even those who most vehemently disagree with the Morning Post must turn to its leading articles every morning with the keenest possible expectation of entertainment, at all events if those persons have any appreciation of pungent wit adorning honesty. In these days of a commercialized Press, the Morning Post has never loosed its hold upon the old tradition ; rather it grasps it tighter. The paper is absolutely honest and without self-seeking. It belieies in helping friends and defeating enemies. That is a much better principle than helping enemies and defeating friends.
