Ira Cole, secretary Of the asso-

tBe association, says in part:
Concerning the Program.
The program may not be salts
factory to all members, Therein lies
the fafbiIity of your officers, who
are but human, and are prone to
make many mistakes. 1t is the re-
suit Ofmuch labor, often hurried, |
but always sincere. It need not be |
explained to the craft that the coun-
try editors, such as your president |
and secretary are proud to be,
mbuSymen- and that the program
and other arrangements may not be
snearly perfect as might be desir-
/ Cd. However, Wehave done our
best and we hope that the occasion
will prove not only pleasant but
roftable.
AwOrd as to the program. 1t
buches upon phases of newspape r
life, both practical and sentimental.
| The address of Governor Edwin
] Norris will undoubtedly be anotable
effort, while the criticisms by Sena-
tors Joseph M. Dixon and Thomas
i, Carter and by Hon. Thomas J.
Walsh will be the product Of three of
me ableSt men and brightest minds

lFtueS well enough, such as they
R. We can't improve, there can
EAttle progress, unless we know
@f faults. The three gentlemen
ave been asked to give US a candid
,eV Of the press as it is revealed to
aenm their public life.
The other topics chosen are by

knowledge gained by wide ex-
Fnence. The "reminiscences of Vice
l@dent ]. R. Widrnyer will prove
'efestlng, being the story of his
4'a'Sla edltoriallife with one news
spsl Tor over Is years. Incidentally
: "lumyer has never missed a
~0'Oll OF the association since its
u'ulng' 10 these, many years ago. II
y poems are by men who have

que 'nem to furnish brilliant pro-
~, aue discussions are really of
