THE FITNESS OF THINGS

| OOlno persons entertain SUfduS6
ideas of the eternal fitness OF
things. The members of the
North Central Minnesota Edi.
torial Association hold annual
outings to get away from bust
ness, politics and shop talk"
They want to be by themselves
and have a brief rest and play
spell. If they desire to have
guests they invite them. Gov.
Eherhart was their guest at the
outing at Walker last week. He
laid aside his official cares, be-
came a plain citizen and took
pot luck" with 'the boys.
A guest that came unlimited,
appropriated the best of every
thing, who was dudishly attired
and who treated the editors as
though he considered them lot
Of "Rubes'', was a repre-
sentative of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press-Dispatch, a small
edition of the genus reporter and
bound in calf. This person
took it upon himself to send to
his paper dispatches that were
obnoxious to the editors. Gov.
Eberhart was expected on Fri
day and had accepted an invi-
tation to address the Walker
high school graduating class on
that evening. He was detained
by an eXtradition case, and upon
invitation of the School Board
his place was filled by member
of the Association who delivered
an impromptu address. The re-
porter informed his paper that
the editors were "miffed" at the
governor for not coming and
that they criticised him for max
ing so many speeches. The
report contained statements that
gave the impression that the
gathering was mixed with poll
tics. There was not one iota of
truth in the charges. No criti-
cism had been offered by the
editors on the governors action,
while the presence of politicians
was no fault of theirs.
The editors, atan executive SEES
sion Sunday afternoon, discussed
the matter at length with the
result that the president of the
association was authorized to
hold a session with the fresh
reporter. This session was held
and the reporter can consider
himself lucky at not being taken
in hand by the whole bunch of
indignant editors and promptly
and thoroughly ducked in the
lake. The editors have no OBJ
lection to the Pioneer Press Dis
patch knocking" the COVER
nor if it wishes, but they
seriously object to having the

it very embarrassing for the

the good citizens of Walker.
The offending paper should pack
it's callow representative in a
barrel of salt.
