EDITORS AT SIOUX CITY

Pencil Pushers We're Given a Cordial
Welcome by City Across the
Border.
The editor of The Republican
arrived home this morning from
Sioux City, where he attended a two
days session of the South Dakota
Press Association. 1t has been al
coed many years since we have had
the pleasure of mingling among the
newspaper boys Of the state, and
many old acquaintance were renewed
and new ones formed. In the past
sixteen years there has been quite a
change indeed in the editorial fra
ternity.
The meeting was attend I'd by about
so newspaper men and they were a
decidedly happy lot. Most Of the boys
have been meeting together for so
many years that now when they as
semble it seems like a large family
which has come together for a re-
union. Chas. f. Allen, president Of
the association, editor Of the Brook
ings Press, presided over the meet
ings, and Glen. Farley, secretary, Of
the Madison Outlook, signed up the
credentials of the newspaper frater-
nifty.
Some very interesting papers were
read during the meeting, which had
to do with the inner workings Of the
newspaper and the business depart
ment. They were read by Levi D.
Wait, of the Armour Herald, Harry
Wentzy, Of the Pukwana Press
Reporter, I. D. Aldrich, of the Big
Stone Headlight, N. B. Reed, Of the
Woonsocket Herald, j. D. Reeves, Of
the Groton Independent, whose paper
was read by H. S. Volkmar, G. J..
Ronald, Of Clear Lake, W.. F. Ban
croft, OF the Washington Springs Re-
publican.
The fraternity discussed at odd
moments for two days where they
would take their summer trip, but no
| definite conclusion was reached. Some
favored a journey to the Pacific coast
to be taken next winter, and others
favored another trip through the
lakes. The matter will be settled ty
a postal card vote during the next
month or two, so that arrangements
can be made accordingly.
The Commercial Club Of Sioux City
had charge of the entertainment OF
the newspaper fraternity, and there
is not n of the boys who can raise
the slightest objection to the warm
hospitality that was extended. Act
ing for the Club, Mayor Caldwell
"Our Cal,' as he is most popularity
known among the boys, took charge
of them from the time they entered
the city until the last one Of them
boarded the train for home. Ca
promised the boys a good time j.
they would cross the borders of the
state and he kept his word wholly
sacred. Theatre parties were ar
ranged for two evenings for the
gentlemen and the wives who &C
companled their husbands wer'
especially taken care of by Mrs
Mason in behalf Of the Commercial
Club. Yesterday afternoon tn
editors we're taken for a trolley rid
over the city, and the principal plac
visited was The s%tockyards, ant
standing on one Of the high fence
which surround them Cal %expatiatet
upon the merits Of the e%Xtensiv
business that is carried on. He salt
that the yards had a capacity o
handling 2 1000 cattle, 10000 hog
and 5000 sheep every day Of th'
year, and that a good portion of TIL
cattle came down from South Dakota
He declared that Sioux City's yard
stood in a receptive mood for tn
South Dakota business and woul,

that could be offered in the west.
