THE MAYORS WELCOME.
The association was called to order at
about 1880 O'Clock by President b. b.
Herbert, who introduced Mayor Rice, who
made the following address of welcome:
Gentlemen of the Minnesota Editors and
Publishers AsSociatiOn:lt is with upfeigned
pleasure that L appear here to extend to
You a cordial welcome to the capital city of
the North Star state. 1t affords me still
greater pleasure, in my capacity as mayor
of the city, to extend the right hand Of
greeting in behalf of municipality of
more than 100000 people. The power Of
the press in its width and depth cannot be
measured. 1t lightens the pathway Of the
statesman, the lawyer, the educator, the
politician. the laborer, the millionaire the
world. We have felt its power as eXerted
in developing mighty empire here in the
y
was but an unsettled wilderness. Again |
welcome you to or city, asking you to en-
joy yourselves to the fullest extent while
you remain, ana hoping that you will carry
away with you when you depart pleasant
memories Of the metropolis of the North
west.
President Herbert responded briefly, con-
graduating the association on the honor it
had Of meeting in so favored a city and of
being welcomed to it by one of the men
who have done so much in building it up
and developing the resources of the country.
TIE ANNUAL ADDRESS.
President Herbert then read his annual
address. in which. after felicitating the as
SOciation on its large attendance and the
deep interest manifested, he discussed jour
nalistic ethics as follows:
When the state is careful of the pockets
and bodies of her citizens if would seem of
equal importance that ~She should require a
citizen to show some preparation and some
moral qualifications before entering into a
profession which undertakes 10 instruct the
people in their political, civil and social
rights, i'll the laws of health and the prin-
ciples of morality. as well as TO give a
colormg to every private and public event
before it reaches the citizen, to be acted
upon by him in way which will either
bring woe to himself and hurt 10 the state,
or prosperity to both. Empyricism, char
lataniSm or Quackery, the practices of the
ignorant pettfogger or ShySter in journal
ism are fully as injurious 10 The state, to the
public. and TO the individual, as in medi-
cine or law. The rogue or the ignoramus
who literally pays with his money or pat
rOnage the immoral. dishonest newspaper
quack, may be painted as 4 paragon of viz
tue and the embodiment of wisdom. and too
often he fOisted into places of public trust
to the rain Of the best interests of the conf
munitv. but the end is loss and disgrace to
the journalist. Another thought III this
connection is. that. rs the editor through
his paper enters the homes of the commu-
nifty. he should not be man whose morals,
or whose speech would eXclude him from
VirtuuuS homes. nor should he be per-
mittCd TO say through his paper those
things which would be improper or unlaw-
tul to be spoken III the house.
The president also took for the subject
of quite an extended disquisitiOn the OBJ
JectS of the association. which are ''the
collection and preservation OF historical in
formation concerning the periodical press
of ADMINISTRATIVE discussion and adapta-
ton Of measures to promote the interests
OF members of the profession, and the cult
Walton OF friendly and social relations be-
tween them"
He also reviewed the history of the for
nation OF the National Press association at
New Orleans last winter. of which associa-
ton Minnesota editors were appointed to
the Offices Of president, vice president and a
member of the auditing committee.
CONCERNING ADVERTISING.
After referring to the labors of the COM
mittee to procure badges. the president
spoke on the subject of letral advertisinO
