CLARION'S COMING OF AGE
1» So it is twenty-one years since Blatchfoid, Thompson, and the otheis threw up comtortable posts with good salaries on the Sunday Chronicle, and started to blow their own Clarion. A hard, up-hill struggle, waged always with cheeriness, occupied the early years of the Clarion, but the paper was so good that people of all political parties ,bought it. The 10Ilicking humour of Fay, the book causeries ot Blatchford. the "Art of Happiness" by Mont Blong, and the pungent wisdom of Thompson, with Naturr articles by Lowuri&on, made up a paper that was unique. One does not need to agree with the Clarion politics (says T.P.s Weekly of 13th l)eccinbei) to give a hearty welcome to its coming of age number, issued la&t week. Every Englishman like to see a good light put up. The Clarion has fought a good hght and htill keeps its end up, if not Nitli the buccebs its founders would wish, still with biich t>ucccbs that they do not regrot their ijuixotiani oi' twentyone years ago.
