Interest in the Convention
The following quotations from let
tiers and marked papers received at
Utah Press association headquarters
today, show that great interest is be-
ing taken in the movement of the
Western Press association. Mr. r. Il.
Fisk, editor of the Herald OF Helena.
Montana, has this to say:
IT am thoroughly in sympathy with
the objects of the convention, outlined
in your letter, and believe the calling
together of the people of the press,
will be marked by success. Any ser
vice / can render through the Herald,
viii not be withheld. Montana ought
and / presume will, be numerously
represented.
"The courtesy of your invitation is
appreciated"
AS an evidence of the influence that
this move has already exerted, the
editor of Newspaperdom of New York
has written: Il want from you the
fullest report of the roceedtngs-that
is, the doings and sayings that are OF
real practical interest to practical
newspaper men,"
1.-THE Liberal has received an invita-
to attend an editorial convention at
Salt Lake city on the 9th and 2Sth OF
this month. The association asks the
Liberal to use it's influence with the
editors Of the territory and urge them
to attend the convention. One of the
attractions of the convention is that
each visitor will have a chance to
take a bath. As a matter OF personal
cleanliness the New Mexico editors do
not need to go to Salt Lake for a
bath, but if the officers of the Utah
association will make the necessary
arrangements so that the New MeaRo
visitors can battle in Utah's mystic
Gus pool, where all of mans sins, is
jealousies, hardness of heart X
quarrelsomeness are washed awsA.
the Liberal will urge the New Mexico
editors to attend in a body, and il
necessary to secure such attendance
the editor of the Liberal viii set an
example and lead the way. although it
is universally conceded he does not
need bath in that l?'-WesteTn

1.-THE Western Editorial convention
| will be held at Salt Lake city August
q and %. under the auspicies of the
Utah Press association and a very at
! tractive programme has been ar
ranged. We acknowledge an invita-
ton to be present and to take in the
grand excursion to Devils Slide. Salt
air Beach, Garfield Beach and the
grave of Brigham Young. A n.
Rosenbaum, formerly the bright
editor of the Logan Nation. but now
treasurer of the Utah Press asspcia-
ton, writes US to be sure and come
and he will make US happy. He says
he will introduce us to a girl who is
worth $1O,0O0,O00. The girl has gall
looping consumption and wants to
leave her millions to some good man
who is stranger to all sorts Of in
! tOXicants Every Montana editor who
can spare the time should attend this
convention at Salt Lake city. Free
! bathing in the waters of Americas
Great Dead Sea will be one of the
novel features Of the occasion. Mon
tana editors who attend this press con-
vention will not be compelled to take
a bath-if they are afraid of catching
cold. New Idea, Red Lodge, Mont.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made on
large scale by the Press association Of
Utah, at Salt Lake, to entertain the
convention of western editors that
meets there on the 9th and 2Sthk In
speaking of the convention. the Salt
Lake Tribune says: Every such
meeting tends to give more dignity to
the journalistic profession, to enable it
TO be of more use to the people. Cal
newspapers are the greatest b1essfz5ts
that any community ever had Their
influence extends all through mems
lives, and it is possible for a good
newspaper to make all the COM
munity about it stronger and better

The western editors may be relied
upon not to do anything Of that kind.
The Press association has our best
wishes. and we hope that a western
organization will be formed as an
organization can do more for the west
than twice as many unorganized edi-
tors. Herald, La Veta, Colo.
