Dr. Chaihs Stoltr. Dr. Charles S. Ih enbury and Atty. S. n. I' tt"ng!'I ,ifid a f w othe! (though tv: latter v, rc inclined to us" th" "soft Ik dal") referred to certain items or editorials that have appeared in one or th" other local paper?. Dr. Stoltz based much of his talk 5n an news item concerning himself that appeared in one of the South liend daily ia;trs. Aft"r reading each sentence the doctor would add: "Another damn lie!" beim; greeted f ach time with jruffaw.s of laughter. br. Foscnbury followed with about th samo line. In most of the impromptu talks by members of the club the "cub" reporter was held responsible for the majority of the so-called inac--uraeios printed by newspapers. The fault, they agreed, was not because the "cubs" were dullards, but principally hecau-e of their inexperience and oftimes laziness, and because cf the fact, as they termed it, that 'many papers employed "cubs" at small salaries to be economical, then fore, losing in the Ions run ty the Inferior and inaccurate news that i.s frequently printed. On Champion Ari-s. A. F. Thiclen.s, who led the discussion, stated that a a rule newspapermen were not addicted to lyinq; and were, as a whole better men than most of the doctors and lawyer.". He said it is not the influence of the press upon the public, but the inlltience of the public upon th" press. F.. F. Johnson, the South Fend ini'.iranc mm, and I. W. Horton, uperintcr.dent of the Mishawaka public schools, based their remarks on the censorship of news as it exists in the present war, and that the newspapers are not entirely to blame for that condition, but are ilolnj; it voluntarily as a patriotic duty. Mr. Johnson spoke of the autocratic censorship of newspaper? In Clermany, emphasizing the fact that that particular condition as it cxi.-ts in Clermany is doinc: more to prolong the war than possibly any other cause. Prof. Cooney stated that the war is in.pres.-inc more deeply upon our minds a number of important truth-.
