TELL THE TRUTH.
Whitelaw Reid Relates How Influence
of Press Can be Increased


New Haven, Conn, March white
law Reid gave his second lecture before
Yale students last night. He began by
referring to the question asked by the
New York Correspondents club: How
can the influence of the press be in
creased?''
He said that Catholic. Confucian and
agnOstic in the persons OF Cardinal Glib
b0ns, Wa Ting Fang and Andrew Car
negie had replied in substance: TELL the
truth and be fair
1T was an i'll omen" said Mr.. Reid,
that influential sections CT the COM
munlty seem sometimes to have per-
suaded themselves that many newspa-
pers do not try either to tell the truth
or be fair, except in so far as they feel
sure 1t win pay. Yet in this the critics
judge the newspapers with more unfair
ness and untruthfulness than any of the
newspapers ordinarily display them

libel suits brought are unjust

courts on an ill-odoreds quess for cash.
The speaker gave instances where
slight errors had been taken advantage
of by persons who were guilty in worse
ways. He continued:

The lecturer next entered upon a dis
cussion of probable charges in the
newspapers Of the future, dealing first
with Mr.. Harmswortn's recent expert
ment with the New York Herald.

Mr. Reid closed with a tribute to the

ANTI VICE CRUSADE.
Bishop Potter Says Entire Country
Seems to Have Awakened.

New York, March bishop Potter, who
has returned from visit to JeclSyI ISL
and, Ga, discussed briefly the most re-
sade inaugurated by him He said that
the awakening Of public sentiment in New
York had produced a stimulating effect
all over the country and that good peo-
pie every where had been aroused to a
sense of their responsibility
This movement differs from any other
that we have seem said the bishop. THE
institutions Of religion, Of education and
Of social reform are all united in the
work One Of the most hopeful signs is
that the men Of the labor unions are in
terested and have their Representatives
on the committee of fifteen.
Every previous effort at reform has
been attempted by a minority-nOt a po-
litical but a social minority. Social lines
have been broken in the present instance
and among. all classes there is a growing
desire for better things
There can be no doubt of the strength
of sentiment that has been created in
favor of radical reforms in our city. What
is needed now for the coming campaign
issthe uni7cation of all the forces that are
in favor of good government. Everybody
opposed to the present system should
labor TO that end and then there can be
no failure"
