NEWSPAPERS SHOULD
PUBLISH THE TRUTH.
But Not Abridged or Exaggerated,
s~s- Says Bishop McFaui.

New ork, May 7.-Journalism must
returYn to Christ and the Ten Com
mandments, if the dolly newspaper
would remedy it's defects. Newspaper
mon should get together and form a
code of ethics similar to theos adopt
ed by physicians and lawyers, and
bind themselves to adhere to them,
upon their honor as journalists. Pub
lish the truth only, all the truth if it
is necessary, neither abridged nor ex-
ageerated. and all the truth is second
arily useful or legitimateiy interesting
without the invasion of public or pri-
vate rights.
Iff all this were done, the daily press
would have gone far toward purg1ng
itself, in the opinion of heRt. Rey.
James A. AIcF'aul, bishop of the Ro-
man Catholic diocese of Trenton, N.
J., who addressed newspaper men and
night workers in St. Patrick's cathe-
dral here at 2.45 o'clock this morning.
The occasion was the celebration of
the tenth anniversary of the estab-
lishment in New York of early morn
ing mass for newspaper men and
dral night workers. Today's celelbra-
tien was in the form of a high pom
tifical mass, at which Archbishop Far
ley officiated. Bishop McFaul preach

Washington, May 6.-Some OF the
new members of the house were con-
siderably surprised at the statement
made by Representative Hill in his
speech yesterday that the minority
members of the ways and means com
1nittee were excluded from the room
during the consideration of tariff
measures as it was on this point that
several of them made t11eir campaigns
last fall, claiming that the Payne bill
was considered behind closed doors 1t
is said that this matter was taken up
at meeting of the democratic mem
befs Of the ways and means commit
tee early, in the extra session and eff
forts by some of the members were
made to have the republican members
invited to participate in the prspara-
ton of tariff measures. This PROPOSE
ton might have met with favor had it
not been for the fact that the tariff
for revenue democrats were afraid of
some sort of combination by mam-
bers of their own party with some
|1eanings towards protection with the
republican members 1t is not likely
that this question win again be cam
paign issue.
