Praise Indeed

Charles McD. Puckette, managing editor of the New York Evening Post, said in a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors: " To The New York World I would award the honor of being the newspaper of greatest distinctive character, day in and day out; for the vigor of its news and editorial columns; and the dominant ideal of The World today is that same ideal of public service originally conceived by and steadfastly held to by the great Joseph Pulitzer."

Later The World published this statement in other newspapers as an advertisement.
