Licensing Bill and Parliament Open Amid Turbulent Session
The British Parliament opens in a time of strain with a loud suffragette protest and a heavy legislative agenda. The licensing bill, a temperance measure to curb liquor shops and tighten controls, dominates discussion as government aims to pass it with closure. Lords may resist, but a dissolution is unlikely unless unexpected shifts occur.
Liberal government faces by election drag and delayed reforms
The article discusses by elections steadily opposing the government, signaling a weak chance to secure a new House majority. A likely outcome is a strong public campaign on platform items outside the press, with potential passage of remaining measures and renewed House of Lords clashes next session. If education and eight hour bills are delayed, only the children’s bill may be enacted, harming the Liberal record as vigorous reformers.

Healthful Manhattan and the lure of dense living
An essay contrasts health statistics across New York City boroughs, arguing healthfulness declines with population density. It notes Manhattan’s lower life expectancy and higher air and odor issues in sparser outer boroughs, while acknowledging immigrant and commuter dynamics shaping city demographics and health outcomes.
Suburban life judged against New England village death rates
The article argues that comparing high village death rates to low rates in growing districts overlooks urban health. It notes Manhattan’s low death rate suggests the city’s water and sanitation are strong despite public works waste. Metropolitan haste and crowding seem less dangerous than critics claim.
