:. Inside Inn, st. Louis, June ~, 1904
The undersigned members of the
Minnesota Editorial Association, par
ticipants in the excursion to the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition, feeling a
deep sense of obligation to our most
efficient Executive Committee, con-
sisting of Chas. C. Whitney, Frank J..
Meystc and H. P. Hall, and the secre-
tary, G. p. Slime, take this method of
expressing to these tried, faithful
and efficient officers our high appre-
citation of their services to the Assoc
citation and our warm personal regard
for them as gentlemen, as editors and
as committee.
We further feel that the complete
success Of this excursion is due to
their experience in securing conces-
sions, to their energy in carrying out
every detail, and to their constant
and watchful care in looking after
the comfort and pleasure of our par
ty. In our opinion, as expressed by
Mr.. William J. White, of the Cana
dian Land Department., last evening,
in: an address at the Canadian build
ing, no editorial association in the
United States has so able and eff
Gent committee, and we agree with
him that their services should be
long retained.
We beg to assure Messrs. Whit
iney, Meyst, Hall and Slime of our
high regard for them personally, and
our great appreciation OF their serv-
ices to the Association"
There were loud calls for the COM
mittee, who found they had another
DUTY which they could not delegate
to anybody. AS usual they faced it
manfulIy. F. j. Meyst said If the ed
itors were pleased and satisfied, that
was more than enough reward for
him. Capt. C. C. Whitney said this
had been the largest excursion and
the most easily handled one of any in
the history of the association since
his connection with it. H. p. Hall
spoke of his 80 years OF service in
and for the association, and said he
was willing to continue in the same
line 80 years more. The three speak
ers said other things but the hotel
management was waiting for them to
attend to settlement details-more
duties-so they all cut it short, and
the episode ended with the encore
yell:
Gopher, Gopher, Gopher State,

Accident Mars Pleasures.
The. last days ride OF the excur-
sionists homeward bound was sad
dened by the news of the shocking
fall from the cars of Miss Amy Olson,
representing the A. O. U. w. Guide of
st. Paul. The newspapers have al
ready told the story of her terrible
plunge from the open vestible which
she mistook for an entrance passage;
Of the discovery of her absence; of
the return of Capt. Whitney, accom-
panied by Mrs. Potter, who was chap
eroning her, to the scene of the acct
dent; and the later and happier news
that her injuries, while serious, will
not prove fatal.
| The party reached St. Paul at about
4 o'clock Monday afternoon, June 10,
and departed on various trains for
home.
