was editors day in Anaconda yes

1t was editors day in Anaconda yes
terday.
Pink badged wielders of public opin-
ion from the four corners of the state,
editors with the price of wool or the
gossip of the ranch and range upon
their tongue, editors fresh from mining
gulches or rocky quartz camps, editors
who have seen two and three decades
pass over their heads while they plod-
ded away at Montana Journalism, and
editors who have been but a few
months in harness-all these were here
On the train that arrived from Butte
about o'clock came most of the visit
ors, escorted by Mayor Madden, DR..
Spelman, Superintendent McCabe of
the B., A. & P. and John McMurray,
secretary Of the press association. The
Boston & Montana band came with
them.
At the depot local newspaper men,
including the Typographical union met
the visitors and escorted them to the
Montana hotel. A brief session of the
association was held in the afternoon
and an early adjournment taken to
view the works. Piloted by Mayor
Madden and several officials of the A.
c. M. Co. the editors went to Carroll
and thoroughly inspected the convert
ers and the lower works.
In the afternoon and early evening
the Boston & Montana band discoursed
music on the street and in the evening
paraded the streets just prior to the
entertainment at the Margaret theater.
That entertainment was an event
that will live in the history of the as
socia tion. Judge C. c. Goodwin, the
distinguished editor of the Salt Lake
Tribune, delivered a speech that was
pronounced perhaps the most graceful
effort of a like character ever heard
in the state. 1t was a notable speech
and one every word of which was fol-
lowed closely. When the speaker would
pause for an instant profound still
ness would prevail. At the conclusion
a veritable ovation was rendered the
speaker.
Former United States Senator Sand
ers also made a notable speech. He
never was more eloquent and never
more happy than in his remarks on the
press of Montana. Both he and Judge
Goodwin paid handsome compliments
to the Standard on it's birthday edition
issued yesterday.
A. B. Keith, editor of the Butte Inter
Mountain, presided at the meeting and
also delivered graceful, though short,
and sparkling speech.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning the Bos-
ton & Montana band will play a few
selections in the band stand. and at 10
o'clock the association will hold in the
Standard hall another business session,
which will probably last until noon. At
/ o'clock recital will be given by the
band, continuing until 2:30 o'clock.
Those of the guests who may wish will
be taken during the afternoon to the
Mountain View park the Hearst
library and other points of interest.
At 4:30 o'clock the association will hold
it's final business session, when officers
will be elected for the ensuing year. At
9:15 o'clock In the evening the members
of the association and other invited
friends will be the guests of the Stand
ard at its birthday banquet to be given
at the Montana hotel.
