SPEAKS ON JOURNALISM.
G. A. Lyon Addresses George

'The newspaper has a contract
with the public to print all the news,
but the nose for news must be ac-
companied by Judgment" said G. A.
Lyon. associate editor of The Star,
tefore the class in journalism at
George Washington University yes
terday afternoon.
Mr.. Lyon discussed the newspapers
relation to the law and gave the
class a general outline. of libel-law re-
strictions upon news handling. Some
recent and some remote cases were
cited to show to what extent news
papers are justified in publishing
charges of various kinds.
The Importance of carefully veri-
flying notes on court and police rec
ords was emphasized, and attention
directed to the important fact that
correction of an error does not neces-
sarily reach all persons who read an
article as originally presented. The
right of the newspaper to criticise
public officials was declared by the
speaker to be established.
You must find the hairline be-
tween truth and falsehood," said Mr..
Lyon. in his general view of the
question.
