Referring to this excursion and meet
ing, the National Journalist for April
says:
The National Editorial Association
will celebrate the fourth centennial an
niversary Of the discovery OF America
by an excursion entirely across the con-
tinent. In deciding to visit the
Pacific Coast the Association has deter
mined upon an itinerary which will at
ford more opportunity for Journalistic
education than any that has yet been
undertaken. The annual session of the
editorial association will, in fact, be a
matter of minor Importance. The great
event will be the extent OF the territory
covered and the opportunities for obser-
vation the excursion itself will afford.
That travel broadens the intelligence,
liberalizes the mind and augments the
understanding is fact OF common re-
cognition, and it will aid US to a better
realization of the vast territorial extent
of our country to remem Der that within
the national domain we have diversity
y nd rf n
dustrial conditions, affOrding Opportu-
mites for observation which, if rightly
improved, exercises upon the mind all
the broadening influences which have
been attributed to travel.
1t is the law of all worthy associations
to grow grander and broader OF them
selves. The National Editorial Asso-
sociaton will conform to this law. and
in no other way can its growth be achlev-
ed more signally than by acquiring a
knowledge OF the country whose re-
sources and industrial development are
the constant theme OF editorial COM
ment.
The editors can be assured that al Op-
portunity is to be afforded them OF see
ing California as no other party OF men
ever saw the State, with all its varied
and wonderful interests.
The following paragraphs arc, from
the Natchitocles Democratic Review:
Let the Louisiana Legislature pass
the Australian ballot law or some other
equally good measure for the protection
and purity of the ballot box.
Mr.. Foster more than any man i'll Lou
isiana can suggest the proper remedy
for ballot box stuiling. He knows
something about it.
