Exsended-Sights to Be Seen.
MIxsEAPoLIs, May 2I.-It now seems
evident that the .'twin cities" will
make an united effort to care for and
entertain visitors to the convention.
Not that all feeling Of Jealousy 10 70 Be
laid aside and the peace pipe smoked,
but just the same 81. Paul people will
extend . warm welcome TO all who
wish to partake of her hospitality.
This they will do for their own credit
and as an evidence OF polite breeding.
which will advertise the attractions
and business interests Of st. Paul. In
too, there will be money In
tan important factor when mixed
with glory. money and glory making
happy combination.
A visiting newspaper man. looking
at the situation from its broadest base,
must conclude that local newspaper
blckerings, fault finding aud slurs
should cease, At least for the present.
1t will certainly affect the attendance
by causing o doubt as to the ability Of
these cities to propsrly care for all who
wish to attend. The general public
are not at swords points with their
neghbors, and sensible people decry
the vaporings OF few NAL
content editors who are eternally get
ting back at each other. As an evi-
dence of kindly feeling among the
working newspaper forces of the two
towns the banquet on the 18th may be
cited. The st. Paul Press club BAN
Quoted their brethern OF Minneapolis

covers were laid for eighty. Despite
!the awful ram storm that was raging
ut o'clock nearly all the guests sat
down to enjoy the spread. A flne
mandolin orchestra and several good
speeches pertinent to the character OF
the occasion, enlivened the hour. The
idea that such q social, genial lot OF
fellows, among which were the bright
est men in the western newspaper
world, should be eternally narrowing,
up strife between the two cities seemed
absurd to the writer. Personally they
enjoy life together-iike each other
and all that. but each is loyal TO his
town and their readers among the
manufacturing, wholesale. banking
and in trade circles generally are con-
stantly reminded of that fact. These
Jolly iokers keep their readers in hot
water all the time. Just now would be
q good time to call halt.
