EDITORIAL SESSION.

Darlington Record: The press gang
Of Fargo were at home last riday
to the editors Of the state, and about
100 OF the thought moulders partook
of their hospitality. There is not much
in the gathering of interest to our
readers, but to the boys" It was an
ventto be thought OF with pleasure. The
Fargo newspaper men and the News
paper Union and the Mcclellan paper
house were all instrumental in con-
tributing to the general good time. !
Editor Plumley with his kindly council |
and thoughtfulness for ell seemed to
us about as right as Santa Claus at
Christmas, and we were glad to meet
Kernel" Brewer. There is not a paper
or a newspaperman in the state that
the Kernel hasn't a reading acquaint-
ance with at least, and what he knows
of local events throughout the state is
something wonderful to behold. Chair
man Boise Of the local entertainment
! committee was the busiest man you
ever saw, and like the rest was scat
tering sunshine like a broadcast seeder
does oats. The city of Fargo was rep
resented by the secretary of the Com
merciaI club who, by the way, is a
| doggoned good fellow and as long on
| hospitality as he is short on hair, and
/ he devoted his entire time to adding
to the comfort and pleasure of the
bunch. The day was not devoid of good
results, for the editors came together
for an exchange of ideas and the bust
ness end Of the newspaper was a sub
| ject that came in for a general discus
sion that will result in much good. In
the evening a splendid ten course ban
quet was served, and 1t was here that
Brother Gushing of the News shone
with a brightness that was like the
brightness Of the evening star, not only
in his splendid response to the toast,
but because of his superior knowledge
of the ways Of perlite society, he proved
an invaluable guide to the selection of
the proper fork and the correct way
to dispose of the mystifying dishes
served by the ladies.
After the banquet all were guests of
the manager at the Grand operahouse,
where strong vaudeville bill was put
on, and several OF the well known
ncwspapermen of the state had their
pet characteristics nicely touched up
in song.
1t was pronounced by all the best
meeting of the association In years, not
only in point OF attendance, but in keen
interest and practical, solid work.
The summer meeting Of the associa-
ton will be held at Williston. Grand
Forks made a bid for this meeting,
but SO many of the boys had become
interested in small irrigation project
which Colonel whitehead was exem-
plyfying at the Waldorf. that they could
not resist the desire to go out and see
NImSn Now~r Ia
works out in the great slope country.
But Grand Forks was not forgotten,
and the kind invitation of Manager
Wilson of The Herald was accepted
and the regular 1911 winter meeting
will be held In that city.
The meeting was a hummer and no
mistake, and Fargo IL deserving OF ali
the good things that can possibly be
said about her and her good people.
