Each guest was called upon for remarks. The verdict at the close of activities was that writers may write, but "never speak." Commissioner Babcock made a talk on newspaper work and praised. the writers for their loyalty to their respective papers. "I found the newspapermen with whom i come in contact trustworthy and real friends," said Mr. Babcock.
