RLDDER ON THE PRESS
German Editor Points out Diff
cultieS en- Printing the NezCs.

Herman Ridder took exceptions to an at
tack on the press yesterday at the fourth annual
luncheon Of the Principals Club at Delmonico's.
His remarks were prompted by the address of the
first speaker Dr. James J. Walsh. who attacked
ultra sensational newspapers"
las a physician he said, II have had occa-
sion to observe the effect OF the published accounts
of certain recent criminal trial which attracted
great deal OF attention by the morbid psychology
which it brought TO light and by morbidity Of va
rious other kinds. II has seemed to me that have
not been able to discover anybody who has not
learned lot from that trial that he would be bet
ter of not to know
Mr. Ridder, who was the next speaker but one,
entered a mild protest against DR. Walsh's re-
marks He said that persons who knew nothing
about the making Of newspaper did not ap-
precate the difficulties which confront an editor
who wishes TO publish a clean newspaper and at
the same time tell the truth about the worlds
happenings.
1T IS hardly necessary he said, for those Of
who do publish yellow journals to defend
such journals For my part. I have tried
steRdfestly to conduct the Stats Zeitung' on the
principles laid down by Mr.. Ottendorfer, and he
believed that IT should be the aim of q newspaper
90 educate its readers"
Norman Hapgood. when 1t came his turn, criti-
Cized physicians and drugs good naturally. quot
ing Oliver Wendell Holmes. that it would be a
good thing for mankind. but mighty hard the
fishes II all the drugs in the world were sunk in
the middle OF the sea.
A speech in opposition to supplying eyeglasses to
school children was made by Robert w. Hebberd,
Commissioner Of Charities. There much dis
sent from his Views.
President MCGOWAN Of the Board Of Aldermen
praised the hospital service of the city and de-
MED that the eyegass project was socialistic. He
followed by Superintendent Maxwell. who
