SUPREME JUDGE
 lAUDS FREE PRESS
Power For Clean Government. Says
 Judge Gaynor, of New York.

Justice William J. GaSnor of the supreme court, ill the course ol ai address delivered at the laying last week of the cornerstone of the Ne" York Press Club building, at Sp'ucc ard William streets, spoke forccEHNT in behalf of the Freedom O. the press and the right Of newspapti men generally ill free land to "lH)lF and freely criticise" those in onclic office. Justice Gaynor said in par:
 Tt is not only the right of news paper men, of men of the journalistic profession to exercise this privilege; it is their duty and office. In no other way than by free criticism gan the country be safeguarded agam t corruption and wrOngdong
 "There is one respect in which a free press in free country ought to be all powerful, and that is by Iail and pungent statement and query to give the true size and motives of those classed as demagognes, whether justly or unjust.'.
 "'rhe press of New York city, and l believe of the country at largn, nas vastly improved in the last twenty wears in what l may call it's person. mel. To meet journalist now is to meet an educated gentleman, no mat ter what department of the paper he belongs to. Your calling is now justly ranked as one of the professions, ard YOU respect yourselves and each oth. CT. When I was q newspaper writer this could not be truthfully said To be abusive and rough and unfair was quite an accomplishment. l have seen all of that pass away Journal ism has come to occupy high public ground.
 "Of course there may be exceptions, out they illustrated by contrast the truth of what l am saying.
 .In their public conduct public or ficials are justly held up by the press to the fullest publicity. In no other way can low, base and corrupt gov ernment be lifted up and made de- cent and kept SO And iii this the press has come, on the whole, to be fair and honorable, The men of yous profession draw a correct line be tween criticism and q Ase. The eX- captions which occur HOW and then are so much out of line that they are disagreeable to everybody. Criticism may be sharp and tart. hut that does not make it abuse. for such are the weapons of criticism
