rural thought moulders were delegates to
| the Republican state convention, and
that some others preferred 70 attend the
convention as spectators, operated to re-
duce the attendance considerably. Per
| haps, too, as President Heatwole re-
marked, when the editors come to Min
neapolis or st. Paul they become scat
tered and it is almost impossible
to keep them together. Only
about twenty showed up at
| the morning session, which lasted just
| long enough to enable President Joel p.
Heatwole to read his address, which
| hardly amounted to more than an intro
| ductiOn to the business he anticipated
| would be transacted, but which was not
| owing to an adjournment to o'clock,
when it was thought more members
would be present.
Mr.. Heatwole said: 1--WE are gath
cred here to-day tor a twO-fold, yea, a
three-fold purpose. First of all we are
here to have a good time socially, get
acquainted with each other, and by per-
sOnal conduct do much to reduce the
personal fighting qualities of those who
! may not be disposed to feel kindly to-
ward one another; to discuss measures
to benefit ourselves financially and men,
tally, and to take trip through mag
nidcent country where our ideas may be
brOadened by contact with thoughtful
and truthful men. l don't want to tell
you how to run newspaper. ! am not
here for that purpose: but would like to
say something in regard TO what l think
the editor ought to be. He should be
fair, impartial. slow to anger, free to
a Chnuld no q N hnnnSf india
pendent, thinking man, with the cour-
age to stand by his convictions and the
manliness to give them publicity
through his paper. He must net be
coward. He should tell the truth for
truths sake, and pardon me, the less he
has to do with practical politics the bet
ter for his paper. This | know from
personal experience. He should court
the hatred of all bad men and know
neither friends nor enemies in making
his paper. The days of organs is past.
He should make his paper a part Of
himself. Personally. editors should not
fight among themselves and charge
more on the common enemy. We are
here to-day for business. We will have
the play this evening and on the train.
Let us make this profitable session"

After the appointment of a committee
| on resolutions the invitation was eX-
tended to visit the Exposition and par
take of a banquet in the evening, and
| the courtesies of the Peoples theatre
were extended to the ladies. G. 7.
| Carpenter, of the Pennington Tribune,
| made an ill-tempered speech becaue he
| understood that the ladies of the asso-
| citation had been debarred from the BAN
quet at the Exposition. He considered
| il ''proper, courteous and respectful
| that the ladies should be included, and
| went ON to say he didn't want to go
where his wife was not invited. Man.
| Il,f. ~k.n a
| oil on the troubled waters by saying
that the ladies were not only invited,
| but their presence was desired. If they
| did not care to attend on account of the
| lateneSs of the hour. the Peoples thea
tire had kindly invited all members of
the association to attend the evening
performance.
The small attendance raised the ques-
ton as TO the policy of postpOning the
| programme of papers and discussions
| to the morning service; but it decided
that there was too little time, and the
first topic, Foreign and Advertising
Agents." was tackled by c. p. Carpen-
ter. The subject was one in which
great interest was manifested, and as a
| result a discussion was started which
occupied the balance of the afternoon,
with the exception of the time taken up
in making announcements and the read
ing of one paper. MIR. Carpenter pre-
scented some specimens of propositions
received for advertising in exchange
for hair TestorativeS, etc, and
urged that newspaper proprietOrS
should stand up for self-reSpect and fail
prices. He also considered that some
of the so-called advertising agencies
and newspaper directories practically
blackmail the papers by covert threats.
