THAT BANQUET.

Ing fed and then bored with lot OF
speeches.-Fergus Fails journal.
If the poor-mouth chaps who are
kicking OH the proposed banquet TO be
given the editors at Minneapolis would
give more attention to business and
less time to fault-finding they would be
richer and happier at the end OF the
year. Never look gift horse i'll the
mouth. County News.
Regarding the suggestion of emitting
the usual banquet to the country editors
at the forthcoming convention Ill Mime
apolis, and applying the funds neceS-
sary therefore to feeding the poor. it
seems TO us it Is a distinction without u
difference. Go on with the banquet, and
the ends of charity will be subStrved.

Tn" Journal has no protest TO make
on minneapolis banQueting the editorial
association. We are used to that sort of
thtng-indulge in it at home and it is
lard 10 get IL banquet too rich for our
blood. What we kick on is that the
meeting is called for Thursday and Fri
day, the busiest days in the week for 20
per cent OF the country editors i'll the
state.-St. James journal.
After partaking of Ed Huntington's
regal hospitality, and the exquisite and
elaborate banquet which had been pro-
videu at the home of Charles Thompson,
we are dazed when we read what he
says with regard to the intended hospi-
tally of Minneapolis. Be consistent.
Ed, and permit Minneapolis to do the
same as YOU did.-St. Peter Herald.
The ST. Paul GLOBE criticises quite
sharply those newspapers OF the state
which have suggested that Minneapolis
might better give the money to the poor
than to entertain the state editorial
association next month. And the GLOBE
Is right. Minneapolis always looks out
for the poor, ana is doing so when she

If Minneapolis wants to give us free
feed we arc Ill for it, and we trust that
the boys will stop kicking. 1t is not
polite to dictate 10 our hostess, and be-
sides-wc might lose the feed and the
pleasurable sound the ''shampagny
water" makes when it gets to pushing
corks. Give us the banquet, Minnie, and
give US the earth. We are with you
with open mouths and arms. Touch
the button.-Renviile Star-TimeS.
The st. Paul GLOBE says that when
gentleman invites you 10 dinner 1t is
not good form to crilicise his menu, and
refers the country press, that has been
banquet, to this statement. When Bro.
Hall is around, the lord of the feast
need not send his servants into the
highways and hedges to find patrons.
and we see III the above the shadow of
a consuming fear that there will he no
banquet.-Todd County Argus.
Minneapolis intends doing herself
proud as usual when occasion permits
itself, and on the 10th of February she
opens wide her arms TO receive the
Minnesota editors, who are, one and all,
invited to be her guests. The best they
have will be ours. May the brief glimpse
of the seductive charms of the metro
polItan city which the country editors
are likely 10 see OIL that occasion not
prove Too much for them. Better take
your wives along, boys, as safeguard.

Some of the Minneapolis newspapers
have eagerly bitten at the bait thrown
them by some of the country newSpa.
pers in reference to the Inequalities TO
be extended by the Minneapolis press
club to the editors of the state next
month. and are evidently trying to es-
cape the assessment made necessary by
the proposed banquet. We make the
prediction that if the banquet is not
forthcoming it will be the first AMI last
ever visit the mill city. What great
ad to so out to the world-Minneapolis
IS too poverty stricken to afford BAN
quet. Pooh!-Wright County Times.
I The country editor seems determined
too make an ass OF himself. He has
been invited, individually and collect
lively. to partake of the hospitality of
the Press Club of Minneapolis, and has
the ill-manners to suggest that the hos
pitality be dispensed with and the
money devoted to charity. If we were
a member of the association we should
feel deeply mortified over the apparent
lack of good breeding of so many of its
members. Let the Minneapolis boys
alone. They will entertain you royalty
and care generously for their poor with
out any interference from strangers
Wright County Times.
The GLOBE is probably right, and If
Minneapolis decides to give the editors
banquet the latter will not criticise
the menu. But when you feel as we'll
acquainted with the host as the country
editors are with Minneapolis, no fine
feeling prevents you from saying,
Don't go to so much trouble on my
account" OF course, we don't expect
that the GLOBE would like to see the
banquet omitted from the programme,
for where is Old Hall Ill his glory if not
at big ''feed?" Nevertheless, if Min
neapolis decides TO forego the banquet
business. the country editors will be the
last to comprehensive County Mont
tor.
Minneapolis has given it out that it
proposes to spend $1,000 for banquet
to the Minnesota editors at their meet
ing in that city next month. Now the
Minnesota editors unanimously request
that this money be not expended for
banquet for them. but that it be used to
relieve the numerous cases of deStitu-
ton in Minneapolis. If after this gen.
eral and pronounced expression of senti-
ment on the part of the editors the Min
neapolis committee insists upon giving
banquet, 1t seems to us that it will
come more as an insult than as a COM
pliment to the editors. In that case
every one would feel as if he were
Teasing upon the bread of the hungry.
Midway (Werriam Park News.
The Minneapolis papers are little
touchy regarding the suggestion ad-
vanced by some of the country jakes
that the money raised to banquet the
country editors be devoted to charitable
purposes, and intimate that it verges on
impertinence for the guests to make
suggestions as to the entertainment
proposed for them. They state very
positively that Minneapolis can take
care of its poor and entertain the edit
ors also, and as "Old Hail." of the
GLOBE, who is acknowledged to be the
Mentor of the country brethren on
matters pertaining to entertainments,
takes this view of it, all objections to
the proposed banquet may be consid-
cred withdrawn.-Elk River Star-News,
