THE PONY EXPRESS.
The morning session was occupied by
publishing the Pony Express under the
auspices of the Pioneer Jubilee COM
mission, E. A. Mcdaniel of The Her
aid, on behalf of the two morning dali
lies of the city arguing that it was not
justice to those papers to have the
commission eXnend its moneys in this
fashion, inasmuch as the city papers
had furnished all advertising free up to
this time.
nf o
time of the association in advancing the
opposite view, but the meeting had no
authority in the premises, so the mat
ter was dropped.
]. w. Wright of Our Government sug-
gested that it would be a good thing
for the editors of the Utah papers to
publish all matter relating to the COM
ing celebration free, and so moved,
which motion was, after a brief dis
cussion, adopted and Chief Promulga-
tor Bloor can now work his mimeo-
graph to his hearts content.
A TRIP TO CASTILLO.
The president and secretary were
then appointed a committee to look af-
ter the excursion of the association on
July next The editors are going to
take q trip to Castillo with their wives
and sweetheavts. and the gentlemen al
luded to will attend to the prelimina-
ries.
At this stage of the proceedings it
was discovered that editors, even if
they do no more than get out weekly
journals. get hungry so an adjourn
ment was had until o'clock.
LEGISLATIVE MATTERS.
some reports of committees and n. B.
~ q
committee, was called upon to show
cause why he and all the balance of his
fellows in the last legislature should
not be freely censured for lack of re-
suits. Dresser said he was aware Of the
fate of one or two bills which had been
desired by the association, but the
house had done its duty by them. The
blame for the killing lay with the SEN
ate. at the same time, however, he
did not think the senate should be CEN
sured very hard, either. for its men,
bers were not expected to know these
measures were designed for the good
of newspaper men. A careful perusal
of all the papers published in the state
led the speaker to believe the editors
themselves were to blame for the ulti-
mate result. None of them had edi-
torially or otherwise mentioned these
measures, and it was small wonder that
the legislature failed to take notice of
them until after it was too late.
Editor Rognon of the Payson Globe
said matters were not as bad as would
seem on first sight The new code
caused a great deal more work to fan
into the hands of the country news
paper than was imagined. He would
venture to say thai at least $4,000
worth of advertising would be distrib-
uted among them in the next two years
perhaps more.
Editor Murray Of the Enterprise made
a few remarks upon this subject right
at that point, which were pertinent. lie
averred perhaps the editors merited
their share of the blame, but it was a
fact nevertheless that men had been
elected who were not in sympathy with
the objects Of the association. He faV-
ored gong into. the conventions and
working for those who would do some
thing, and if their man was beaten to
go after the other fellow, regardless of
party affiliatiCns-nake an issue of
this, as it were.
Dave relt had something to say at
this -uncture. he alluded TO Senator
Smoot of Utah county, and said he was
not a friend OF newspaper men, as he,
Felt, lad demonstrated. In future his
yaper would not support the senator
from Utah county. Although he was
a Democrat. he wanted some recogni-
timated he would not break his back
in assisting 70 re-elect any Of the Utah
county delegation on account of the
stand taken by them.
