To the Editor of The Herald.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 24.-Permit
one who dwells out here in the v1cln-
ity Of where rolls the Oregon" to
express the hope that the coming SEES
sion of the Utah Press ASSOCIATION Will
prove of lasting benefit to the press OF
the west. The newspaper has become
a necessity in every household, and the
followers of the profession should all
be honorable men, as at every fireside
the newspaper becomes the companion
of the child the old, the rich and the
DOOR, and it is important that the
newspaper man be divorced from cor
ruption and indecency, and that he be
welded to honor, sobriety, truth and
good citizenship. Let the members OF
the Western Press association soon to
convene remember that the newspaper
profession is an honorable walk in life,
and everyone interested in 1t should
work and deserve it.
The annual gatherings are produc-
tive of good to the press, the state and
the nation. 1t is the duty of the mem
bers of every profession to become ac-
uuainted with those of any particular
calling. And in this enlightened age
it is the duty of a public educator to
become acquainted with every nook,
brook, river, rivulet and corner in the
territory in which he resides. Excur-
sions are therefore not junketing trips,
but lessons in history, geography and
good horse sense.
1t would afford me pleasure to be
present in the most beautiful city on
this continent August u and 2S, as
one of the representatives from Ore
gon at the Western Press association
gathering, but having made the trip
once behind a yoke of faithful oxen,
twice on horseback, and four times by
L
enough for me to reach your city,
either by OK team route or mounted on
the hurricane deck of that most noble
animal, the Oregon cayuse, and there
fore must content myself with reading
the reports of the gathering in the col
umns of the press.
In closing, let me congratulate the
press of Utah upon having selected a
worker in the person of A. B. Tomson,
as secretary. AT this distance I can
see and appreciate the good work he
has done, and 1 trust that your citi-
zens appreciate his labors. Having
succeeded so we'll for the first meet
ing, he certainly would do ten times
as well for a second gathering.
Hoping that behind every newspa-
per represented in the coming gather
ing there will be a purity of purpose.
a solidity Of character, and above ali
a love of justice, hope for mankind
and a strict regard for the truth, am.
ALBERT TOzIER,
Secretary Oregon Press Association.
