During these years Mr. Sterling npent hours nearly every week day and evening of his life vieiting the social and political cluhe of London, on the street, and in the fashionable drawing rooms. peliticel receptions, talking with men, of all shades of opinion and of all parties, but espec- ially with the leaders of the party in power. whether they were Grey and Brougham. or Peel end the “Duke?

It was that which g’nve‘the Times its greater'name the “Thunderer.” John T.

In those early days of the war when Greeley thundered through the Tribune “On to Richmond”, the entire north was source restrained from the bold charge. Now it is this journalistic function of “Voicing” the best. truest and most earnest thoughts and ’convic tions that the les errn‘ has sought to fill. Not what the editor personally and he alone thinks, of the Filter bed, or St. Johns Ave, or the High school. or the Atheneum, and multitudes of other topics. but what the people think: voice their opinions and convictions. Hence, we make it a constant practice to talk with anybody and everybody who has any thoughts or opinions, to find out what they are and then voice them if they have any weight .or importance whether they coincide with our own or not. ‘ It is this phase or feature of jornalism that gives influence and power. Joseph H. Choa‘te', just nominated by President Mc’Kinly as Ambassa- dor at the Uourt of St. James, is noted ‘for his wit. One of his wittiest say- ings was made over‘ a private dinner table at which he and Mrs. Cheate- were guests. Some one inquired of him who he wquld like to be if 'he could not be himself. He paused a few seconds. as if thinking over the list of the world’s celebrities, and then his eye' rested ubon‘his wife. “If,” he answered, “I‘could n'ot,be myiaelf 1 should like to he Mrs. Choate'a second huhband." ‘ This story, which is perhaps very old to the ears of Inauy,, really had its origin with Climate: A pompous young man hustled into his office. “This Mr. Choate?” “Yes.” respond- ed the distinguished lawyer. with his blaudest smile. “We 1 I’m Mr. Wil- berforce, of Wilberforce Jones."
