It is significant, I think, that these two papers differ entirely in the philosophies which underlie their conduct and in the social ends at which they aim. In other words, they differ entirely in religion which is the ultimate spring of all political action. IT IS SIGNIFICANT I THINK THAT THESE TWO PAPERS DIFFER ENTIRELY IN THE PHILOSOPHIES WHICH UNDERLIE THEIR CONDUCT AND IN THE SOCIAL ENDS AT WHICH THEY AIM IN OTHER WORDS THEY DIFFER ENTIRELY IN RELIGION WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE SPRING OF ALL POLITICAL ACTION

Ruskin House 40 Museum Street W.C 1 First published in 1918 (All rights reserved) DEDICATION KINGS LAND, SHIPLEY, HORSHAM. _October 14, 1917._ MY DEAR ORAGE, I dedicate this little essay to you not only because "The New Age" (which is your paper) published it in its original form, but much more because you were, I think, the pioneer, in its modern form at any rate, of the Free Press in this country. I well remember the days when one used to write to "The New Age" simply because one knew it to be the only paper in which the truth with regard to our corrupt politics, or indeed with regard to any powerful evil, could be told. That is now some years ago; but even to-day there is only one other paper in London of which this is true, and that is the "New Witness." Your paper and that at present edited by Mr. Gilbert Chesterton are the fullest examples of the Free Press we have.
