HONEST JOURNALISTS HARMED BY THE LIARS
Good Newspaper Men Should Expose Crooks, Says N.Y. Man at K. U.
that the honest newspapermen of the country are in danger from the "clubber" in journalism, the reckless editor or reporter who habitually distorts the truth for his personal gratification is the opinion of Isaac D. White, of the New York World, who told the *Daily News* that Kandi Kaufman had the Fair Play Bureau, at the National Newspaper Conference at the University of Kansas, today.
Mr. White discussed legal restraint that is being proposed for the freedom of the press in many states.
"When the well seasoned journalist hears of some new law designed to affect the newspapers," declared Mr. White, "he is quite certain to resent the idea without stopping to consider whether it is good, bad or indifferent. We seldom consider seriously the other side of the proposition, that a lawless and licentious press might prove worse for us as journalists, than to press at all; when we analyze and analyze freedom of the press, and look up its pedigree and see it tried out in the courts, we discover that, after all, it has very well-defined limitations, like all liberties must have under a popular government.
"Blackstone says that a man has a natural absolute, God-given right to his life, to his limbs, to security from corporal assault and violence, to security of health against acts which tend to endanger security his highest mission. And this right is the foundation stone of the law of journalism.
"We all have moral rights. In a broad sense a moral right is one that would be backed up by the approval or acquiescence of the public generally and the interference with which by anyone would cause general public disapproval. Papers are said to be public opinion newspapers and not many of them. The newspapers are themselves subject to public opinion, and dependent on it for whatever power or influence they may possess.
"Public opinion is the opinion of the majority. It is the greatest force and the highest court in the land. Popular government, such as we have in the United States, is government by public opinion. Public opinion makes our laws, and puts in office persons to enforce them. To be in harmony with public opinion, newspapers need only keep within the law which is the written expression of public opinion.
"Freedom of the press is freedom to do what the law permits. The four words, 'accuracy and fair play' sum up the law of journalism, just as the Golden Rule embodies the Ten Commandments.
"A few years ago the New York police commissioners threatened to take away the patrolman's night-stick, because abuse of the weapon had grown up among a few of the men. They were the 'clubbers,' the ugly heartless, cowardly bullies who were wont to prod reputable citizens.
"The American press is out of tune with public opinion because of too much freedom with the night stick. We have not always resisted temptation to publish a truth that complaining persons, without accusing them, always been fair in our criticisms or taken pains to restore our errors by admitting our errors and correcting them.
"What can we do to save the situation?
"We should let our readers know we want to be accurate. Invite them to point out errors. Correct them. Notify all news sources to make a

Captain Lloyd Bishop and his baseball crew embarked for Columbia, Mo., yesterday and will play the Tigers today and Friday.
LCST—A Hamilton open-faced, 17-jewel watch. Finder return to Kansan office.
The following men took the trip:
Sommers, Bishop, Sproull, DeLongey,
Van der der Wille, Waran-
dine Johnson, Morrow, and
Dinsmore and Coach McCarty.
"The remedy for present conditions, as I see it, is for each of us individually to fix plainly in his own mind the limitations of the law which public opinion has placed on him to keep well within the line ourselves, and to turn our batteries on all who remain outside the line."
"Remember that while the truth is a defense in a criminal action for libel, it is a crime to publish anything defamatory, even though it be true. Remember that under the law, comment on the conduct of public officials, and of candidates for public office is only 'privileged' as made显性, in the belief of its truth. Remember that any judicial or other public and official proceeding, in order to be privileged, must be a true report and a fair report. Many criminal libels are published under this cover.
N. Y. Publicity Expert Tells Kansas Editors How.
K. U. Might Help
Public advertising service as a branc hof University extension to aid merchants and advertisers as the agricultural college helps the farmers was advocated yesterday by Richard A. Cunningham, manager of "Good Housekeeping" in an address before the National Newspaper Conference.
Mr. Waldo pointed out that under the present system, editors are unable to prevent swindling indirectly by the running of advertising that appear all right on the surface but which is rotten beneath. Pure advertising, he declared, would only become possible when some kind of an authority was established for advertising we good or bad. The state, through the University, he said, was the logical factor back of such authority.
"When we started on our clean-up advertising policy, we did not do it suddenly," Mr. Waldo said. "If we had, we would have gone bankrupt. It must be done a little at a time, very slowly, but with a goal in sight. If you Kansans start to cleaning up, it will take three years to make a big showing. It would be foolish to try to do it in three months."
"I suggest that there be a bureau established. When the advertising manager is up a stump as to whether given advertising is all right or not, there should be some court of order that he can take it. There is none now."
Mr. Waldo advocated a state bureau of censorship for advertising, to which the individual advertiser could appeal.
"The farmers of the state have the agricultural college to direct their industry," he said, "so why should not the State University attend to the interests of the business men in the line of advertising?"
Summarizing his suggestions, Mr.
Wado said, "I suggest in the first
place to use a more efficient
method."
advertising manager be used, and that when he finds himself in a quandary, there be a place to which he can appeal and get a decision without paying the fancy prices that I have been compelled to pay for judgments that should have been given to me as a public service."
