"An English newspaper syndicate has bought up the Aberdeen group of papers. This may seem a small matter, stand- ing by itself, but it is a significant matter, considering the eircum- stances. A few years ago there were two groups of papers in Aber- deen. The two combined because they found there was nui room enough for them bath. The big- ger dailies from Edinburgh and Glasgow were coming in as early, in the morning as the local papers came out, and there were even edi- tions of London papers--oprinted in Manchester--on sale in Aberdeen first thing in the morning. So the owners of the local morning, even- ing gnd weekly papers decided to stop competing with each other and to issue only one group, in the hope that this would have a fleld big enough to make it pay. At that time they were not thinking of the English "combines." Sinee then four syndicates, all op- erated by. financiers in London, have been surveying the whole country, trying to buy up all the newspaper properties they can get hold of and to start mew papers wherever there is the least chance of success, They are competing with each other, especially three of the combines--the Rothermere. the Beaverbrook and the Berry, that is, the Daily Mail, the Daily Ex- press and a firm who have no morning paper in London, but have some hig weeklies there and groups of dailies in the provinces. The Berry's have got into Glas. gow, Newcastle-on-Tyne and some other places ahead of Lord Roth- ermere, who is now laying puns for a great national 'chain' of evening papers to compete with the Berry papers everywhere, m- ehuding Glasgow and Edinburgh, Meantime, 'the Berrys have got ahead of him again hy buying up the papers in Aberdeen. Competition Ahead Next we shall probably hear that one or other of the hig Lon- don concerns is trying to get a rfout= ing in Dundee. There, as in Aher- deen, there used to he two groups, competing in every department-- morning, evening, weekly, family magazine, short novels, cookery hooks and all sorts of things, Each published something designed for fighting with something of the same kind published by the other, By and hy the two coneerns-- the Lengs and the Thomsons--he- came friendly--some of the part- ners intermarried, and that may have had semething to do with it --and ultimately they decided ro stop trying to ruin each other. So they combined, and, although there are still the two husiness names and the different offices, they have ceased to compete, and, for all practical purposes, there is only one firm and if a London syndicate comes along it will have to deal with only one man--Mr. D. C. Thomson. Edinburgh is likely to remain the special preserve of the Scotsmen group of papers-so long as the present proprietors of this group are to the fore, and there is no likelihood of any change in the Glasgow Herald group in Glasgow. In each case the old traditions of independence are fully maintained; but in Glasgow there is a compet- ing Berry group (bought over some time ago from Lord Rothermere) and now the Rothermere combine threaten to gtart an opposition evening paper--as one of their na- tional "chain." If they do Glas- gow will have two mornings, four evenings, two ordinary weeklies and two Sunday papers, not to speak of special weeklies devoted to church news and other sub- jects. Whether there is room for all these is a moot point and many people think that ultimately there will be amalgamations of some kind or other, Syndicates Active The coming of the English news- paper syndicates is, ag already stat- ed, a stage in the process of mak- ing Scotland as like England as possible and it is something which the enthusiasts for Home Rule will have to take into account very serls ously. For the syndicated groups of paperg cannot be so true to the lite of the country as are the papers that belong to people living in their own districts and own mo allegiance to London, The syndi- cated papers take all their instrue- tions from London, their general policy on mational affairs ig ae- cided for them by men in London who have po particular personal sympathy with the special aspira=1 tions or traditions of Scotland; they get common services, not only of news, but of articles and often of book reviews, they all come very soon to have the same sort of gen- eral appearance and they lose their peculiar local character. ~ This has been notoriously the case with one of the Glasgow syn- dicated papers. It had for gepera- tions a peculiar "home" place in the life of Glasgow and the West of Scotland, it had an indefiable, special character of its own which everyone knew but mo one cow explain, its style of writing and its "make up" was its own, and it reflected the life of its afstrict in a remarkably interesting way. But it came into the clutches of London, and one afternoon it came out made up in the English style, some of its old features were abol- ished, others were changed, its readers did mot know where to find what they wanted--it became, in fact, just an ordinary paper. Such as one might buy on a book- stall in London, Manchester or rally Rappen tow in Aberdesn and in every pr y where an English combine gets hold of the local papers. Scottish Spirie I there #s' pris o Boa Testora- tion. of what is the Scottish national spirit there will have be a.sufficient number of Scot national newspapers, and at the moment the tendency is all to- wards the creation of papers of an- other kind. How the Home Rule movement is to counteract this tendency no one knows. The new Seots Observer is making a gale lant, and-----within the limits of its] w power--suecessful attempt to re- fleet the real attitude of Scotland towards its own traditions and life and future; but it is only a week- ly, it is primarily a church paper, and all it can do is to lead the way, and show what could be done if all Scottish dailies were inspived by the same ideals. There is ever so much in the way of English management of Scottish affairs against which protests ih to be made. Edinburgh, once the anita) of Scotland, is coming to be mcrely a city of branch offices, all of which take their orders from London; the Imperial Parliament has no time, and the great majority of its mem. bers no inclination, for any detail. ed business relating to Scotland; no end of Scottish administrative 'work that could be dome quite well at home is done in London, costing lots of money in the travel- ing expenses of town councillors, magistrates, officials and lawyers; aml every now and then expensive "deputations" from London visit Scotland to inquire into business which Scots people could do quite easily for themselves if they had the power. Reform of these things will never be urged by combine papers controlled from London, and the question is what is seotland to do about it, and how are Scot- tish national ideals to find expres- sion? "Scotland's Disgrace" Perhaps if we had Home Rule, and if the matter were put proper- ly before the people of Scotland, something would be done about "Scotland's Disgrace." This, {it may he explained for the benefit of Canadian Scots who do not know | their home eountry' thoroughly, is an extraordinary lot of big pillars which stand on the Calton Hill in Edinburgh. These are the relics us a great plan for the erection of a memorial to the Scottish soldiers who took part in the wars against Napoleon. The complete building was to he a reproduction of the famous Parthenon in Athens as ft was in its great days, and it was to cost £50,000, It was started in 1822--when £60,000 went a Jong way--bhut enly £16,000 was raised, and when this money was exhausted work had to he stopped, Many suggestions have heen made since then for complet- ing it.

The other day the Town Connell was told that under the will of a citizen of last century they, had heen left £2,000, which they were to use for completing the *Na- fional Memorial." But they sald they would have nothing to do with the thing, They were not. truss tees, there were in fact, no trus- fees in existence, and they did not want the £2,000. Some one sug- rested that they should have used the money.to 'finish' the Memor- la] by clearing away the *ruins," But they won't have anything to 'do with it, and so "Scotland's Dis- grace" will remain, crowning the Calton Hill with its ugliness, and always requiring to he explained away to visitors and to the rising generation, VANCOUVER MAYOR NAMED AT PROBE Deputy Chief Says He Was Told His Worship Did Not Want Raids Vancouver, B.C, May 14--Declar- ing that H.

WOON 5 NED | TWO ARE INJURED { Crash in Elgin County May Result in the Death . of Two St. Thomas, May 14--Mrs. Sarah Marsland, aged 69, is dead: her hus- band, James Marstand, 70, is in a seripus condition in the Memor- al fospital, while her son, Wilfred Marsland superintendent of the spin- ning department of the Monarch Knitting plant, who is at his resi- dence, 18 Metcalie street, is suffering from shock, ay the result of an auto- mobile accident on the London and St. Thomas highway, at Talbotville, early this morning. Mrs. Marsland was instantly killed, when the car, owned and driven by the son, left the pavement on the curve where No. 3 highway and the London and St. Thomas highway join, and side-swiped a telephone pole in front of the Talbotville gen- eral store, Just what caused the accident is not definitely known, but it is be- lieved that Wilired Marsland dozed momentarily just as he approached the curve in the highway. He had been driving almost continuously since two o'clock Sunday afternoon, having taken his parents to Guelph to see their other children. Bits of hair found on the pole fur- nished the tragic evidence of how Mrs. Marsland met her death. Her husband was seated beside her and escaped the full force of the impact. He is suffering from serious head wounds, as well as injuries to his hody, but is reported improving and is expected to recover, An inquest into Mrs Marsland's death has been ordered by Coroner Dr. D. L. Ewin ,and will be opened Tuesday morning. High Constable Ostrander stated that he heard complaints about the turn in the highway being rather dangerous, on account of the con junction of No. 3 highway at that point. He reported that there ap peared to be a feeling - that flood lights should have been erected there months ago by the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways. It is understood that the erection of the lights has 'been ordered. Mr. and Mrs. James Marsland are old residents of Guelph.
