When Mr.. Charles DENLY was min
lister to China a publisher wrote to
him asking him to procure a photo
graph of the Emperor of China. His
reply, printed in New York ex-
change. shows that the pictures pub
lished as likenesses of the emperor
cannot be trusted. Mr.. DENLY wrote
as follows:
1T would afford me great pleasure
to send you a photograph of the en-

making inquiries find that his pho

The Press Convention.

The newspaper workers of the
State who compose the Louisiana
Press Association are in session
today at the pretty little city of
Covington, in the Ozone Belt of
st. Tammany. Annually the As
ISOLATION holds a convention at
some convenient point where the
members get together. compare
notes, talk of many things of in
terest to the craft, and enjoy So
cial fellowship.
Such meetings are, no doubt, of
much benefit in. more than one d.
reclion. The press of the State is
one of its most important institu-
tons, SO recognized by the consti-
tuition and by all students of poll
cal science. In every sort of gov
eminent a free press is indispen-
sable, but a government by the
people it is of the supremest im-
portant. MIR. jefferson, who was
one of the most profound students
of the science of government the
world has ever produced, declared
that were he compelled to choose
between government without law
and government without free
press, he would unhesitatingly
choose the former.
Therefore where the press is SO
important it follows naturally that
those who conduct it should he
individuals who realize their re-
sponslbilities and who will not
abuse the great privileges and
power which attach to their posi-
ton. Those annual gatherings
give opportunity for great improve
menl, for the formulation of con-
certed plans for the public well
fare and for bringing about Co.
operation in the effort to elevate
the tone and dignity of the press
aud for making ii power for good
IN the State.
There are a number Of able wri.
tiers among the press workers
throughout the State and al OK.
