Inc Minnesota Editorial association

o. Faul at O'Clock Monday after
noon on their return from the exnoei-
tioh' ana majority of the members
uepdrted on the evening trains for
their MONIES. Unanimously the opinion
IS expressed that the 1904 excursion
was the most successful in the history
or the editors Organization.
Wnlie delayed in reaching st. Louis.
and again delayed in reaching St. Paul
on the return, by freight wrecks ahead
OF the editors special train on the Min
neapolis & st. Louis road, and the
lines over which il passes in reacbino,
St. Louis, the editors took their mis-
fortunes philosophicaIIy. yet huneriIy
ana came home with broad smiles Of
Satisfaction and expressions of aDpre-
cation Of the work of the executive
committee in planning and executing
the excursion.
Have Merry Time
The entertainment at St Louis was
all that could be desired. and tha al
1tors and their ladies spent the davs
OF their stay at the fair city most hap
PLY. Aside from their assistance in
~-AS NCN1NdAACI III Tie minnesota, hIIlin-
ing, their plans at the exposition were
largely informal. and there was oppor
tunlty Tor the editors to pursue indi-
V1dual tastes in doing the fair The ed
Itors We're guests of the Inside Inn. the
big hostelry located inside the expo-
s1tlon grounds, and they received many
courtesies from the general manage
ment Of the fair and of the smaller at
fractions In connection with the big
show.
A pleasant incident of the outing
was the presentation by Z. w. Stanton.
Of st. Paul, a former president of the
association, to President C. f. Mac
donald. St Cloud, of a handsomely en-
graved gold watch, with solid gold
chaln. The watch is inscribed with
Mr.. Macdonald's initials, and the date
and place of the presentation.
Watch for Their President
In presenting the watch, Mr.. stanton
complimented President Macdonald on
the success of the outing of 1894, and
MI Macdonald, in responding, declar-
ed that whatever Of credit was due
properly belonged to the executive
committee of the association, c. c.
Whitney, Frank J. Meyst, II. p. Hall
and Secretary G. p. Slime. Later tes-
timonial couched in strong terms in
dorsing the committee foraits faithful
and efficient work, was framed. and
when fully inscribed on parchment will
be presented to the members Of the
committee. Criticism of the commit
tee, which appeared in the annual
meeting in March of the association, is
completely answered by the indorse-
ment of the editors who participated
in the excursion to St. Louis.
Before leaving for his home at St.
Cloud last night President Macdonald
said he believed that the excursion to
St. Louis was a greater success than
its promoters had hoped for. Every
arrangement made by the executive
committee for the trip of it's members
to the worlds fair city had been fully
carried out, and the editors found alb
solutely no cause for complaint.
n. H. Ingersoll, editor of the Brain
erd Dispatch; E. c. Huntington, of the
Window Reporter, and several others
at St. Paul hotels last night, declared
that its success would not be duplicat-
ed by any other state association, and
they believed that these results were
almost wholly due to the experience
and good judgment of the members of
the Minnesota editors executive COM
mittee.
