The thirty-thlrd annual convention O
the Pennsylvania State Editorial AS
sociation held in Pittsburg on Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday OF last weel
was the greatest event in the history o
the association. We were the guest.
OF the Merchants and Manufacturing
Association and Press Club OF Pitts
burg, who entertained us royal
ly. Trolley rides, automobile rides
boat rides, steam car rides, ban.
quets, luncheons, souvenirs, free
use OF local and long distance telephones
and telegraph services, etc. We hearti.
ly endorse what Hon. Nevin Pomroy,
president of the editorial association,
said Thursday night concerning the en-
tertainment provided:
1T is without doubt the banner con-
yentton of the association. No dream,
however wild, could have made me be-
lleVe that any community could provide
such entertainment as has been accord
ed us. The name of Pittsburg will ever
remain bright in the memories of all
who have been present at the conven-
tion of 1905. From the minute of our
arrival up to the present time we have
wanted for nothing and have received
far more for than we could have dared
hope for or expect"
We have been going in and out of
Pittsburg two or three times a year for
quarter of a century, and considered
it great industrial city, but we had no
conception of the greatness of the city
until our visit last week when we were
shown the real evidences of the unoues-
toned industrial and commercial SUI
premacy of Pittsburg over all other
cities in the world. 1t is certainly the
greatest center Of manufacture on the
face of the earth. The boat trip up the
Monongahela valley, the courtesy of
Captain John f. Klein, and the trip
around Pittsburg terminals in special
train, the courtesy of Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the Pennsyl-
vania Lines West of Pittsburg, gave US
a view of the immensity of Pittsburg's
industrial plants. No wonder it is call
I'D Smoky City" The great stacks
rom thousand or more Industries are
sending out volumes of black smoke
1t would require several
pages II we were to go into details
about what we saw and how royalty we
we're entertained, hence we will only
merely mention the points of interest
Ind pleasure.
