GLOWING TRIBUTE,

Taft Gives Newspaper Men o Boost in
Message to 1.-The Scoop"
Chicago, Dec. 28.-President Taft
has turned the tables on the news
paper e Subjected for years to
the whims of reporters, cartoonists
and editors, no has written q glowing
tribute to their usefulness and eff
ficiency.
The presidents message to the
Fourth Estate" in Chicago is entitled
Press and President" and is pub:
'lished in the Christmas number of
The Scoop" the organ Of the Press
club Of Chicago. In his message Mr..
Taft says:
THE press 10 essential to our civili-
cation and plays an unofilcial but vital
role in the affairs Of government. The
discipline of a fear Of publicity, the
restraining and correcting influence
of the prospect of fearless criticism.
are of much value in securing a pro-
per administration OF public affairs.
The amount OF information ews
paper correspondents have which they
do not give to the public world would
surprise most men not familiar with
affairs in the national capital. the
truth is that the partisan character
of dispatches that are g in some
newspapers Is determined rather by
instructions from headquarters than
by any disposition Of the newspaper
men themselves to give colored ac-
counts Of the facts"
