The Warning Post has been sold by Lady - Bathurst to
a body of influential Conservatives with whom the Duke of Northumberland is associated. They are " determined to preserve the past traditions and policy of the paper. It is their intention to make the Morning Post in the presentation of its news, and the introduction of more modern methods, worthy in every way of its great tradition." We trust that this change will mean no alteration in the policy and staff of the Morning Post. Tt is all to the good that we should have extremist journals as well as those of the Centre. The Morning Post is never dull, although it is hard to take some of its views very seriously. It almost always contrives to make amusing or witty comments from its own poidt of view on public events. The Duke of Northumber- land's name should be sufficient guarantee that there will be no backsliding to a more normal point of view, which would certainly destroy- most of the character of the paper. Besides, we arc under a constant debt to the Morning Post for keeping a high standard in litera- ture and art, and in this respect too we trust there will be no change. * * * *
