At noon today Rev. John McMurray.
secretary of the Montana Press associa-

paper. the Anaconda Recorder. called at
my sanctum and seating himself upon the
corner OF the ark of the covenant. told me
l mad TO come over here. He issued a
subpoena as 1t We're. I told him if | got
the paper out in time I would catch the
tram, but asked what on earth ! should
talk about. He replied. About five min
utes.' But said !. I haven't time to
think about anything Think he ejacu-
lated. What on earth does a newspaper
man want to think for after the paper is
out? When he quits the print shop for
the day he wants to give his Thoughts
a rest and lei them ga,nbol on the high
IDEAL

You often hear it said that a news
paper man is an encyclopedia. He has
to be one. He has no time to look uu
references, but his mind must be stored
with them. He must file his ideas in
MS mead and be ready to take them out
Tor use at a moments notice"
Judge Goodwin was introduced and
said:
"Your chairman has been very kind.
when | heard him describing myself I
thought of the old story that Montana
men are great in every way: ever some
are great liars.
Il don't believe you ever saw a news
paper man who had labored day after
lay for years. who had grown accus-
to expressing his ideas through his
who could make a good speech.
But ! am glad to be here. to meet my
trends in Montana. l am glad to meet
ny journalistic brothers and to congratu-
ate the Standard on it's birth and to bear
estilmony, as we say among the saints in
1tah, that it has always been a blessing
o your city since it was born.
